was driven ashore and burned. The
Emden's career was one of brilliant
dash, deadly efficiency and audacious
courage. A cruiser Of but $500 tons
burden, she louted the warships Of
England, France and Japan. For three
months she held the sea against fully
forty hostile warships. most Of them
more formidable than herself, and
sank in that time $4,000 tons of her
enemy's shipping. She also lombard

ships under the guns Of hostile forts.
Finally overtaken by a more power

fought to the end She had depended
all along for fuel and provisions upon
her prizes. Fol a time she disguised
herself by adding a false funnel to the

organized by an agreement entered
into in 1909 by the Australian CON-

"A N army is only as capable as its

military truism that may cost US dear
ly if we let it go unheeded longer"
So spoke Major General Leonard

the New York Sun. The quiet way in
which he spoke carried an added
weight because it had the finality Of
years of study and yet betokened the
moderation Of one seeking through

"As you know, we are not now per-
mitted to discuss the European war,
nor yet to express u opinions upon
the lessons to be drawn from that
conflict or its conduct. What must be

American is the appalling wastage

These are 10 military secrets, but
facts to be found in the technical, the
professional and even in the lay press

gest1ve to the man in the street. What
we must ask ourselves is. How far are
we prepared to meet the demands Of
armed strife? And then. What are our
available for filing the gaps
and maintaining our battle strength
after the first brief period Of the initial
clash?
Most of the answers that can be
given to these questions are already
available in the official reports Of the
chief Of staff Of the United States
army, and it is no violation Of the
present order for silence If l help to
a better understanding by calling par
t1cular attention to certain portions Of
these publications. 1t is equally pos

illusions freely from the facts as thus

time of need.
This sums up our ready military re-
sources. We have no reserves. Keep
these figures in mind in view Of our

what you have learned for yourself Of

There has been great rejoicing in

put out of action two commerce de-
stroying German cruisers, the redoubt-

The Koenigsberg was bottled up in
the Ruff river, opposite Malta island

found hiding by the British cruiser

Blows Struck Quickly.

But aside from this lesson we can
moi draw any comfort now from our
capacity then to supply the wastage
incidental to disease and the battle
field. In Il large measure both sides
were fighting under kindred conditions
Of unpreparedness and both drew upon
unframed citizens to keep the struggle
| going. and there was time enough in
that prolonged strife to familiariZe the
soldiers With ne simpler requirements
OF warfare of that date.
Now circumstances would differ rad
ically. The whitening machinery OF
battle is totally unlike that employed
during the civil war. Every blow
would be struck quickly and with the
utmost violence.
But the need Of more men in the
ranks is only one phase OF the problem
as it confronts us now. There exists
equally the necessity for building up
with as little delay as practicable Il re-
serve of officers qualified to serve as
company officers Of reserves or volun-
teers. Ii we were called upon to mo-
ilize to meet a first class power we
should require Immediately several

Reserves Are Important.

In my last annual report, that for
the fiscal year 1913. you will find
the following: The subject Of reserves
IS one OF great national Importance.
Military organizations are maintained
during peace at the minimum strength
consistent with training. When war
comes it will be necessary to increase
these organizations nearly to three
times the peace strength. Unless some
system is adopted through which train
ed men can be assured such increase
must come from the unframed civilians
constituting the mass of the popula-
ton. and it is evident that ~organiza.
lions increased in this manner would
be rendered ineffective for immediate
USE
But before we take up the subject
of a way to provide these reserves and
their affairs let IS grasp the state Of
affairs as they exist.
we have no warrant for believing
that man for man our fighting person
mel is any better than that Of a possible
foe. We have reason for pride in what
the American soldier has proved him
self to be on the field Of battle, and
that is gratifying in it's promise for
the future. But overconfidence will
hurt US more than it will help. for war,
II 1T N for us. will come suddenly,
and no enemy would dare to attack us
ON our shores unless he were fully
prepared in the light Of modern stand
ards and thoroughly equipped with all
OF the machinery Of present day CON-
bat.
AS the militia Of the various states
exists today it is Immediately subject
to the executive authority Of those
states and only subordinate to the gen
eral government when the troops have
been mustered into the regular organ
1zation and discipline over them rele-
gated to the secretary of war. Pri,
marily the feeling Is that these state
troops are for service mainly within
the borders of their own states and
their transfer to the national defense
is a discretionary matter resting with
each governor concerned.
Picture for yourself the first conse.
quence following upon a declaration of
war by an alert and efficient enemy.
His object will be to attack our defend.
ing fleets and to cripple them. This
done. his next objective will be to eff.
feet n landing in force with the ulti.
mate aim of establishing a base from
which to operate in reducing certain
of u defenses and in bringing the
richest of our seaboard cities under
tribute. sEa

our fleets must of necessity be more or
less scattered because Of the extent Of
our coast lines. For the sake Of argu.
| ment. let us SUI that some point
on our Atlantic littoral is to be the OBJ
~jective.
Vital Area of Attack.
The vital area OF attack in all like
lihood would lie somewhere between
Boston and Washington. Let us make
the north and eastern limit Cape Ann
and the southern one Cape Henry at
the entrance to Chesapeake bay. Broad
ly, without going into reinements Of
topography, this e quite 700 miles.
True, we have powerful fort1fca-
tons or batteries posted at strategic
points along this line, and, as l have
already mentioned. we have 1900
men whose special duty it is to mar
and serve these guns. But quite apart
from these soldiers. military require
ments demand that these permanent
defenses should be supported by a mo-
bile force Of quite 100000 men for our
Atlantic seaboard alone!
You have already added up the to.
tai Of our standing army and the g.
400 of the effective militia, assuming
all Of the latter could be called upon
and placed where the immediate need
required. This means an available mo-
bile force ut best of but $500 as
against the 100000 that would be need
full to meet the situation imagined!
But are we even as we'll off as these
figures indicate? Fancy the state Of
the public mind should the navy not
be victorious in it's first clash with the
foe. Back upon the coast come our
crippled ships. bringing evidence of
the enemy's aggressive force. Stimuli
taneously we learn by wireless of the
sailing or the approach of q great fleet
of soldier laden transports bent upon
invading us. Perhaps there may be
rumors Of a kindred move in the di-
rection Of the Pacific seaboard.
1.-The governors Of the states are ap-
pealed to for their militia. but public
clamor demands their retention at
home for protection, and if not so, still
these men must be moved speedily to-
ward the %seaboards. and do we know
that the bulk of these could reach the
desired destination in time? Instead
of a supporting force of SS,4OO we
would probably have a considerable
smaller mobile army with which to
meet the enemy, coming undoubtedly
with a body Of troops twice as large
if not greater!
And then whence would we draw
the vitality necessary reserves that
would be needed to make up the losses
incident to the first clash! Just think
Of it, 100 miles to defend and prob
ably fewer than 10000 soldiers avail
able for the task!
AT the end of the civil war the I'm
ion and the Confederate armies totaled
something like 1000 900. but this ulti
mate fighting strength represented
what remained Of the 10000 600 men
called into service during the years of
that conflict This fact shows how
much depends upon this matter of re
