MAKE DEMAND ARMY
Be MUCH ENLARGED
Congress to Hear that Navy
Has Grown to Detriment
of Land Forces.
National News Association,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7-Another
determined effort will be made by
high officials of the War Department
to prevail upon Congress. at its next
session. to enact legislation which will
put the United tSates army upon an
equal footing with other nations OF
like importance.
Congress has appropriated large am
cunts for the navy, within the last five
years, so that at present it is ranked
as third in efficiency among the ma
vies of the world. Meanwhile, the ar
my has been greatly neglected, and is
being held up to reproach. The navy
has been equipped with warships
which have not their equal, and the
gunners of the navy have attained pro-
ficiency far beyond that of any other
world power. Criticism of the army
has become more severe from year to
that the army either be put upon a
modern basis. or the military estab.
lishments be done away with.
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood admits
that congress has authorized lana for
tifications. and that they have been
constructed within the past few years
but deplores the fact that there are
| that they are not equipped with the
proper accessories, without which the
guns will be of no more value in de
| Tense than SO many dummies. He
also declares that we have not a sui
ficient amount of infantry for tn,
! field armies: that there Is not enough
| small-arms ammunition on hand t
10000 infantry, that we have not en-
ough field artillery or field artiller.
ammunition to go into a campaign
and that we have no reserve for tn
regular army, such as is provided TO
by almost every nation of Europe.
Legislation should be enacted q
once General Wood declares, to PR
vent the loss to the United States c
the services of men it has trained fo
three years and upwards, through rel
ignation. The regular army loses e'
cry year by expiring enlistments al
proximately IS 900 men who have ha
excellent schooling. These men. it
pointed out by the chief of staff, leav
the service at time when they hav
gained their greatest efficiency. an
owing to the lack of necessary law
are lost for all time to the army. Sc
=, era! of the European nations have pr,
vided for reserve corps, to which o
, ganization all soldiers are attached a
ter their term of enlistment has e:
pired. For instance, in the German a
my after soldier completes his r
quired term of enlistment he is tran
ferred to the First Reserve corps. A
ter serving four years with that organ
ization he is transferred to the Secon
Reserve Corps, where he serves eigl
years. BY this means, German SO
diers after receiving military trainin
are permanently connected with th
army and subject to call at any m,
ment.

de las mas acreditadas y su reputation
professional una de las mas indiscutibles.
Don Conrado Palau era hombre de
