Washington. Mar, 24.
The United States Army Estimates for the next financial year are nearly as large as in 1920-21, when an American army of occupation was still in Germany. The Bill asks for $32,000,000 more than the sum available in the current year.
According to recent disclosures, a military force of 675000 is the Army's objective. Army leaders hope to have, within a few years, a regular army of 15,000 officers, 180, 000 men, a national guard of 210,000. men and an organized reserve force of 120,000 officers and 150,000 men. The present strength of the regular army is 165,000 men.—Reuter.
