WASHINGTON, Dec 10. Repre-

cation of the preparedness of the
United States for war He prefaced
his remarks with the announcement
that he had introduced a bill to en-
act into law Garrison's recommends

the army to its full war strength. He
devoted q large portion of his speech
to an analysis Of the presidents ref

the president set up "bogy man of
straw" that "if war were to break
out It would be found our coast de-
fenses have not sufficient ammuni-

said twentythree thousand OF the
citizenry cited in the presidents ref

UNITED STATES ARMY SHOULD Be
RECRUITED TO WAR STRENGTH

mon a force in this country of regu-
lars and National Guard amounting
to 9S1S officers and 148,492 men.
(This would include only regulars
of fighting force stationed in the
United States proper)
"And this is absolutely ALL The
only other recourse would then be
volunteers, and to equip, organize,
train. and make them ready would
take, at the smallest possible esti-
mate, six. months.
Anyone who takes the slightest
trouble to Investigate will find that
in modern warfare a prepared enemy
would progress so far on the way to
success in six months. if his antag
onist had to wait six months to meet
him, that such unprepared antagonist
might as well concede defeat without
contest"
Efficiency Of Army.
OF the efficiency of the present
army Mr.. Garrison says.
while our existing organization is
of the exceedingly small numbers al
ready mentioned, it is unquestionably
in as excellent condition as any sim
z
military establishment in the world.

Passing to the need for larger
army, regular and reserve, the secre
tary discusses at some length peac'

WASHINGTON, Dec l0.-That the
United States army be Immediately
recruited to its full strength, which
would mean the addition of $4,000
men and 1000 officers, is urged by
Secretary Garrison, of the War De-
partment, in his annual report pre-
sented today to President Wilson.
Such an increase would give the
regular army a total of about 10000
men. of whom $4,000 would be avail
able as a mobile fighting force in the
continental United States. The pres
ent mobile strength of $1,000, the sec
retary points out, soon will be cut IN
half by additions to the garrisons in
the Canal Zone, Hawaii and the Phil.
ippines.
The report directly mentions the
European war but once.
Lessons from Europe.
1T would be premature" it says,
"to attempt now to draw the ulti-
mate lessons from the war in Europe.
1t is an imperative duty, however, to
heed so much of what 1t brings home
to us as is incontrovertible and not
to be changed by any event, leaving
/ for later and more detailed compre
hensive consideration what its later
developments and final conclusions
may indicate"
\ III addition to Strengthening the
regular establishment, the secretary
urges that steps be taken at once
/ TO create more adequate reserve
army. He dismisses as impracticable
/ talk of immediate disarmament, and
as groundless fears of militarism IN
i America. and recommends military
preparedness on the ground that
eternal vigilance is the price which
must be paid in order to obtain the
desirable things of life and to defent
them"

an aeroplane must move to ac-
