Army Would be Ineffective For
Any Serious Service Says
Sec. Stimson
POINTS OUT The DEFECTS
Urges System Of Reserves and
Shorter Enlistments
Present Force is Too Scattered and
Posts ESPensiVe-Citizenship
for Porto Rieans.

washington, Dec. lin his annual
report to the president today. Secre-
tary of War Stimson declared that
the contingency of war with a first
class power would find the army Of the
United States practically unprepared.
He attributed this largely to the fact
that the army was scattered out over
the country" in too many posts. and OF
lack of reserves. The army on the
peace footing habitually maintained.
with miniature companies and troops,
he characterized as ineffective for any
serious war service.
As to the unpreparedness OF the ar
my i'm artillery and ammunition, Sec
rotary Stimson says that "at the pres
ent rate Of appropriation IL is estimat-
ed that IT would take more than fifty
years TO secure a reasonable supply OF
field artillery guns, carriages and am
muntion that would be necessary In
the event of war"
A Startling Statement.
The report makes the somewhat
startling statement that at a conserv-
ative estimate the expense per effective
rilemen in the United states army is
between two and five times as much
as any frst-class power on the conti-
nent Of Europe This comparison is
made after excluding from considera-
tion the higher pay and better sub
sistence that American soldiers re-
ceive. This fact is statel as an Illus
tration, Secretary Stimson declares or
the extravaganza of the existing sys-
tenn Of wide distribution Of the army.
Dealing with insular affairs, the
secretary of war urges that the right
Of American citizenship be granted 20
the natives of Porto Rico A Porto
Rican travelling abroad now is liter
ally man without a country and Mr..
Stimson says that continued refus-
al to grant citizenship 20 the island
ers will "gravely wound the sensibil-
tiles Of this loyal people" The demand
for citizenship Of the Porto Ricans
IS entirely disassociated from any
thought Of statehood and It is assert
ed that neither in the United States
nor i'm Porto Rico is there any contem-
plation Of statehood as the ultimate
form OF government I'm the island
Congress is urged to express it's
