To the task of meeting theses patent defects, the war departroent has heen ad dressing itself during the past year, A comprehensive plan of reorganization was prepared by the war college division of the general staff. This plan was thor oughly discussed last summer at a series of open conferences held by the secretary of war and attended by representatives from all branches of the army and from congress, In printed form it has been distributed to members of congress and throughout the army and the Baton) guard, and widely through Institutions J4f learning and elsewhere in the United States.
