munttion for the coast defense, and a still longer time to obtain the neceS- sary number of field artillery guns and ammunition.
 Shortage in Field Artillery. If the regular army and organized militia at war strength were called to arms today, says General Wood, there would be a shortage of more than fifty 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 a first class power, the gravity of the situation becomes apparent at once. Volunteer Army in Time of War.
 General Wood strongly urges the passage by congress of the pending bill for raising a volunteer army in time of war. He says this will cost nothing in time of peace and will save the gov ernment millions of dollars in time of war. The present law is so unsatisfac- tory and vague that the general staff cannot make preparations in advance for it's execution in event of war
 Recommendations.
 Other needs of the military service are set out in the report, including the addition of six hundred and ten officers to replace those detailed from line du ties for staff and militia work; the creation of reserve of not less than three hundred thousand men who have served in the regular army or militia; the concentration of the army in large posts; the re- esta blishnneY1t of the can- teen, and finally the increase of the signal corps and the acquisition of aeroplaneS.
