Available for Quick Service.
The army establishment Of the
United States is in an appalling condi-
ton. Weak numerically, with not
enough officers to handle it efficiently.
it is further handicapped by lack of
supplies.
In case of foreign war the coun-
try is in such a plight that strong
enemy could wrest from it territory at
home and abroad, the recapture of
which would be accomplished only at
the cost of thousands of lives and the
expenditure of millions of treasure.
Either this would be the case, or the
United States would be forced to lower

officer of high rank who is now in
Washington
There are only $4,000 men in the
regular army" he said. This includes

batants. OF this number there are 49,
600 in the Philippine islands, 5000 in
