an opinion by Attorney General Owen

GENERAL WOOD
WARNS COUNTRY
Army Chief Tells Senate Body of
Invasion Peril.
URGES ARMY OF 10000
Says Foe With 10000 Trained Troops
Could lnflict Heavy Damage
Favors Universal Military
Service.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Maj. Gen. Leon
ard Wood told the senate military COM
mittee on Wednesday the coast line
of the United States was open to at
tack by any weIl-organized foreign
army, despite its equipment of forts,
mines and submarines, and that the
oceans formed no serious barrier 10
invasion. He declared that in the
countrys present state of utter unpre-
paredness for war a trained force OF
10000 men could intiict incalculable
damage before an army could be as
sembied to meet it,
Emphasizing his conviction that
troops cannot be improvised to meet
regulars, General Wood declared the
fundamental basis of any policy OF
adequate national defense must be
the principle that with suffrage goes
an obligation for military service.
AZ 20 the immediate needs of the
regular army, General Wood ex-
pressed the opinion that the force of
regulars with the colors should be
maintained at ZlusUVU.
Reverting to the condition of the
country to face war with first-class
power. the general said the United
States was utterly unprepared and
knew nothing of the problems 1t
would have to meet. At least 100000
men would be needed. he declared,
and they could be obtained. he be-
lieyed. only by compulsory service.
General Wood was positive in de-
claring the militia was composed Of
a fine personnel, but cursed by a
hopeless system. Unless it could be
taken over by the government and
absolutely severed from any connec-
tion with the states. he said, it should
be abandoned to the state entirely,
and not a dollar of government
money wasted upon it.
Under a universal service system,
the general said. there would be
100000 men between eighteen and
twenty-five years of age upon whom
the burden of military duty would rest,
counting on only 80 per cent OF the
men OF that age. He believed. how
ever, that every citizen should be held
liable for some duty TO the govern
ment in case OF war.
The developments Of the last year
both to the south of us and abroad, %
he said, indicate that we need to be
a little better prepared There is
nothing concrete. OF course"
