Denies Reports About Re-
cent ManeuVres'
To Effect That Militia Bore
HARDSHIP s and Suffering.
Mas achusetts Officers Very In.
dignant...Ready for More Work.

New York, oct THE critics of the
Joint maneuvres of the regular army
and the National Guard who have been
predicting that the Boston campaign
of the past. summer will be the last OF
such Joint operations because the hard
ships and suffering OF the militia was
out of all proportion to the lesson
learned. were answered today by Maj.
General Leonard Wood, commanding
the department of the East.
General Wood paid no attention to
criticisms until the publication of dis.
patches from Washington yesterday to
the effect that while forces which now
guide the war department have their
way there will be no repetition of the
Joint maneuvres on such scale as
took place in the limits of Boston this
summer. After reading these dispatches
General Wood said:
THE statement purporting to come
from someone connected with the war
department at Washington relating to
the hardship and suffering of the men
engaged in the maneuvres in Massa-
chusetts has no foundation in fact. The
amount of sickness was extraordinarily
small.
1T is not true to say that the hard
ships were all out of proportion to the
lessons learned In the first place there
were no hardships No complaint has
come from the men or officers. There
were possibly per cent. of the mill
tiamen dissatisfied with the maneuvres,
and they were the proportion which
would prefer life in camp. On the
other hand, the lessons learned were
invaluable One of them Is that we
haven't enough regulars or militia
men ready for mobilization to defend a
city against such an attack as was
made against Boston. The other is
that it builds up the spirit of cooper
alton between the regular army and
the National Guard.
"The total cost of the whole cam
paign with all it's incidental expenses
has been under 100000. The maneuvre
has even paid for the transports and
their pilots know of no way I can
better illustrate the exemplary con-
duct of all the men than to say that
with the 1900 troops engaged, the to-
tai expenditure for rentals and dam
ages has been only $4,000. Frankly,
expected it would be nearer $15,0 900. The
conduct Of all the men was unusual.
"The truth of this matter should be
known in justice to the men and the
public. 1t is not fair to let the impress
sion go abroad that the militiamen

Admiral Dewey Doesn't
Like Mr., Lands Remark.
Believes Our Navy Would Be
Efficient In Time Of War.
Like Man to Whom Re Replies, He
Believes In Subsidy.

Washington, Oct. 7.--Defending. with
characteristic vigor, the American
navy. Admiral George Dewey asserted
today that not only is our navy not
bluff, but that he is confident that
it would give a good account of itself
should war ever come.
The admiral's remarks were called
forth by a statement attributed to
Former Representative Lands of In
diana. who in recent speech at Gin
cinnati, Ohio, on advocating ship sub
sidy, is reported to have said that
those Americans who are informed
consider our navy as bluff" The
expression was characterized. by Ad-
miral Dewey as IAN unfortunate one"
Declaring that he saw no war clouds
gathering on the horizon. Admiral
Dewey discussed several phases of the
navy. He expressed himself as heartily
in favor of ship subsidy legislation and
made a strong plea for the continued
upbulding of the navy. He said that
long time he used to think the Ger
man ships being built for use. But
now I do not he added
Referring to the remark attributed to
Mr. Landis Admiral Dewey said that of
course what the former meant was that
the navy would be comparatively useless
in case of war without necessary auxil-
iaries drawn from the merchant marine.
The admiral continued
He wants subsidy for our ships Of
commerce, and so do l." ~
The admiral expressed the belief that
ship subsidy legislation could be secured
were 1t not for the use OF the word sub
sidy." which he said many people did not
like because they thought that 1t meant
to give something for nothing. %@
But the American navy is not tIqte SO
helpless as one might imagine from Mr..
Landis' remarks" said the admiral 1--WE
have Is Golfers and several transports al
ready in the service. OF course this
would not be enough In time OF war. and
hope that we will continue to ada to
that number. If we were to have war
we could purchase as many ships 40 we
might need. We did so in the Spanish
war. 1t would, of course. be q great deal
better If we had them already"
The admiral declared that the United
States needed a merchant marine. not
only for the value 1t might possess as
furnishing auxiliaries to the navy. but to
carry the American flag in the marts Of
the world.
But" said Admiral Dewey. there
will be no war And so long as we Gosl
