Secretary of War Is Spend ing Holiday Week at New Jersey Home Preparing Data to Expedite Defense Plans
UNPREPAREDNESS
 IS CLEARLY SHOWN
This Is Declared to Have Determined War Depart ment to Embark On Cam paign for Action to Build Up Defense

 WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-ln an eff fort to build up at once the national defense, Secretary of War Garrison is spending the holiday week at his home in New Jersey preparing means and data with which to expedite the ad ministratiOn's plan for national de- fense through congress.
 A re-survey of the military situ- ation of the nation. made but a short time ago, said to have shown a hope less state of unpreparedness, is de- clared to have determined the de- partment to embark on a campaign for immediate action to build up defense, while universal service is admittedly the ultimate goal of the administra- tion plan, it is expected this. for the present will take a secondary place to measures designed to provide imme- diate defenseive necessities and out line a definite military policy
 The re-survey which went into the question of muniti0n manufacturing facilities. it is said showed that in the single item of field artillery it would take three years to produce the guns now believed necessary for a force sufficient to guarantee safety from invasion. Reports from European battlefieIds have served to triple or quadruplc estimates of necessary re- serve material. Estimates of the pro- portion of light and heavy guns in any field already have increased two-fold.
 Although war orders have increased, available commercial facilities for manufacturing munitions in the last few months. nearly all American plants are building guns to foreign measurements and would have to be re-equipped to handle American army orders.
 When congress reconvenes Tuesday Secretary Garrison will be ready to submit figures and argument in SUD- port of the plans.
 When MT. Garrison left Washington he took with him copies of every de- partmental report and official docu- ment bearing on the preparedness problem. He believes, it was ascer- tained tonight by an officIaI who had much to do with framing the plan that a correct statement of the prob lem can lead only to the general con- clusions embodied in the continental army scheme. From this official, who will be among those authorized tc present to the comimttee an amplifi- cation of the views of the admins tration, was obtained the following outline of what the secretary expects to tell congress the proposed program will do:
 1. Write a definite military policy founded on the unanimous conc1u- sions of the military experts of the nation. past and present.
 ?. Enroll within three years anC give some preliminary training to al least 50O,000 mobile troops
 3. Provide within six years for ar additional force of 800 900 reserves fol the troops with the colors.

General French's Reply Year Ago to Demands for Great Offensive Probably Applies Equally This Year on Most Fronts
rRepublican A. p. Leased wire1

LONDON, Dec. 29.-Dispatches from both east and west express the belief that the winter weather is likely to prove the most severe obstacle to war operations on the principal fronts dur ing the next few weeks. The most dreaded period of winter is from the end of December to the end of Janu- ary, was General French's reply year ago to the demands for a great of fensive. The same remark would probably apply equally this year.
 Reuters correspondence at western headquarters, after remarking that the British staff is confident that the all lies are now so strong in men and munitions that they can break through the German lines whenever the right time comes, declares that the weather is the chief reason for postponing the big movement, and adds such a movement requires care ful planning and extreme caution"
 Rolling up tactics always involve the possibility of counter attacks which may end in rolling up the aggressOr. With the face of the country in a DOT ous and mushy condition, it is impossi- ble to effect the essential quick move ments of artillery without which any big offensive is foredoomed to failure
 The allied troops probably would have little trouble in occupying any part of the German front trenches forthwith because the enemy hold these lightly. But then with the ranges registered to a nicety. such d step would be sheer suicide until the time is ripe"
 A Russian correspondent writes:
 The most severe part of winter has begun in the Russian theater. All re- ports agree that the weather this year l is more severe than usual It is in creasingly doubtful if any serious events will occur until the end of January"
 Despite the weather the duel in the NOsges mountains, in tle western zone, continues and may eventually prove to be one of the big operations of the war. The gains in either direction thus far have been small, but the French claim progress in their effort 1 to establish themselves on the crest of the foothills which here dominate the plain
 By all accounts Saloniki is now 1 safe. Certainly the central powers
 show no haste to attack the allies po- sition. Seventy five thousand Ser l i Eloasan in Albania and the Montene- grin army which heretofore has been i idebarred geographically from taking { any large part in the war, is now throwing itself energetically into the
 contest against the Austriaus.
 Reports that the Austrians are at i tacking SCutarI are authOritatively de-
 nied. According to the latest advices
 the Austrians were at Bjclopolie
 where they were recently repuIsed by the M0ntenegrins and cannot reach

 No official announcement is vet
 available in London as to the dispo-
 sitton of the cabinet regarding com pulsion but the political atmosphere has been considerably cleared up by
 the admission that the principle of compulsion is accepted by majority of the members of the cabinet Public - opinion las not yet cry stallized, but
