Army bill pruned in conference gains limits on war powers
The army reorganization bill emerges from conference with no Senate push for federalizing the National Guard or universal training. It fixes a peace-time regular army of 297000 including Philippine Scouts, retains National Guard on current basis, and creates an enlisted reserve with 15 days’ training yearly. It places procurement duties with the assistant secretary of war and forms a permanent war council to handle ammunition issues.
