Washington. Nov. 25.-Ma;o r- Gen
cral Wood, chief of staff. points
rather gloomy picture Of the lack of
preparedness OF the army in case Of
war, in his annual report to the secre-
terry of war. TAere arc weak spots
in many directions. he says. and most
serious is the shortage of field nrti!
lerv and ammunition. fault which
should he Immediately corrected
General Wood declares also that
there Is great lack of reserve sea
coast ammunition and that at the
present rate OF appropriation by Con-
grcss IT wilt take more than &c ycars
to obtain a reasonable supply IF am
munitioa for the coast defense. and
still longer time to secure the neccS-
sary number Of field artillery guns and
ammunition.
If the regular army and organized
militia at war strength. were called
| to arms to-day. says General Wood.
| there would be shortage Of more
than 30 per cent in the field artillery
necessary to equip them. AS this force
would represent only a portion Of the
force called to arms in case of war
with frst-class power, the gravity
OF the situation becomes apparent at
once
General Wood strongly urges the pass
age by Congress Of the pending bill Tor
raising n volunteer army in time of war.
