TWO MORE DECLARE

Gen. James A. Drain and Dr..
TX. GIeeson Say Army and
Navy Are inadequate.

Two more names have been added to
the list Of military authorities. who,
since the outbreak OF the European con-
i1ict, have been warning the American
people against the inadequacy of the
country's military and naval forces and
equipment. The latest to sound the
warning against ''unpreparedness" are
Gen. James A. Drain. editor Of Arms
and the Man, and DR.. J. K. Gleeson.
commander Of the Department Of the
Potomac, Grand Army Of the Republic.
General Drain says that the United
States is blind giant. whose wealth
is its greatest weakness.
IF we had nothing which would be
worth taking we would not be so liable
20 attack" declared the veteran soldier
yesterday. Our strength is the
strength OF a blind giant Neither our
army or our navy is adequate. We
should work to the time when compul-
sory mi itary education shall be part
OF our national life
Dr. Gleeson says: Here are two in
controvertible facts which every Pa
triotic American must face. First, there
is a possibility that the United States
may become involved in the war: sec
on6. the United States is absolutely un-
prepared for war. And here is the Vltai
question which every American SHOULD
seek to answer wisely: Can the pcllcy
of leaving the United States helpless IN
a military sense be justified?"
Or. Gleeson cites the possibility OF the
United States becoming involved in war
over incidents similar TO the i1rin- on
the cruiser Tennessee bv the Turks st
smyrna, and declares that in event u
became necessary to send even part OF
the American fleet to European waters
that the Panama canal would be left
without ample protection. He declares
that the most slaring weakness CT al
