SECURITY LEAGUE CALLS
j. S. DEFENSE LACKING
Report Declares American Army In
sufficient, Poorly Trained and
lily Equipped.

NEW YORK, July 26.-The report OF
the army committee of the National
Security League. of which Henry l..
Stimson. former Secretary of War, is
chairman, charactcrizes Athe military
defenses of the country as "wocfully
insufficient" and indorses the recon-
mcndations of the general staff of the
army. made repeatedly to Congress.
for reserve army of a half million
men.
The report also indorses the repeated
recommendation made to Congress FOR
providing adequate reserve of arms,
armament. ammunition, and all classes
of war material" 1t urges the ncces-
sty of putting both measures INTO
effect.
The report says the country's total
defensive mobile force consists Of about
$4,000 regulars and 10000 militia for
the protection of many thousand miles
of coast.
Force Is Inadequate.
Quite aside from it's weakness in
numbers the report continues. this
force would be poorly trained. hastily
and Intellectually organized, i'll bal
anced, incompletely equipped and lack :
ing in such essentials as light and
heavy artillery and ammunition to
serve it. With ordinary fortunes OF
war the probable outcome is so ap-
parent that it need not be stated"
The report points out that the great
armed nations Of the world have suffi-
Gent merchant shipping ito transport
to our shores, in single expedition,
a much larger force than we can pos
sibly concentrate against it,
Such a force could be easily landed
on the countrys open coast, it is stated,
"as our coast defenses are for the prof.
lection of our great seacoast cities
against attack from the sea, but are
powerless beyond the range of their
guns

Plans for the navy include large m

Defense Woefully insufficient.

The only sound conclusion" says the
report. that can be drawn from an un
biased and dispassionate consideration
of the facts is that our defensive ar
rangements on land and sea are Woe
fully insufficient to meet the full re-
quirements of adequate national
defense"
The committee holds that in the
maintenance of it's present army the
country is not getting an adequate
return for the money expended, com
pairing it to the Swiss army, which, IT
is stated, costs the government in ten
years $3.50 soldier, as compared to
10000 for each American soldier dur
ing the same period.

TWO FAMOUS NOVELISTS
INDICT OUR UNIVERSITIES


The most significant two novels of
the year. "A Far Country" and 1.-THE
Harbor," unite in serious indictment
of the American college. In each there
is one live professor shining ex-
ception to the deadliness of the rank
and file. and in The Harbor." even
this one is dismissed for being alive.
In both the student with literary
aspirations and latent idealism goes
down temporarily or permanently un-
der the overwhelming tide of material
ism, mediOcrity and triviality.
Every spark of intellectual origin
atty moral earnestness, or spiritual
sincerity is at once stamped out as
"boOt-licking the professor" becOm-
ing a grind or a "poler," or queer
ing oneself with the crowd.
Unfortunately this indictment is all
too true of the college that simply
drifts and expands without definite
and strenuous efforts. shared by both
faculty and students. TO resist this

The supreme humiliation for Euro

exalted that He upon His throne can

The shame OF the people OF the
