War Would Strip Corps.

1T is but necessary to enumerate
some of the needs of engineer service
to appreciate how inadequate in num-
Der is the existing Engineer Corps of
our army. Then il must be remembered
that in case of war our regular En-
gineer Corps would be stripped, as in
1861 and 1898, of its ablest men to make
army commanders of them: so at the
very time when the increase of en-
gin,ers would be most demanded they
would probably be actually decreased
1T is highly gratifying and distinctly
encouraging that this plan of an en-
gineer reserve has. so far as our com
mittee knows. met with the approval Of
the officers in the army from the Score
tary of War down. The following ex-
tract from "A letter from an officer of
high standing and rapk in the CORPS
OF Engineers is but one Illustration of
such official support:
II am strongly impressed with the
Importance of IT. and it is good to know
that men who likewise realize this i'm
portance are giving of their time and
efforts to assist in putting our United
States in condition to meet any
emergency which may arise. To those
of us who know, IL is very plain that
one of our greatest lacks under pres
ent conditions will be a body of trained
officers. The present war emphasizes
the fact that such a body Of men is a
valuable asset and the lack of il a
cause of disaster"

Says Country Must Depend
on Military Schools for
Officers in Case of War

Gen. f. W. Nichols. superintendent Of
the Virginia Military Institute, deliv-
cred an address this afternoon at the
convention of the National Security
League at the New Willard Hotel, in
which he said that with a comparative
ly small standing army as the hitherto
avowed policy of the United States the
nation must of necessity depend to a
great extent upon the military schools
of the country to furnish officers to
train volunteers.
He selected two military schools in
the United States as types, namely.
Norwich University, Vermont, and the
Virginia Military Institute. and by re-
viewing the history of both, with par
ticular reference to their services
graduates and cadets, showed
to what extent such schools have rem
dered aid to the nation in the past. On
that record he predicted that the grad
yates and cadets of such institutions
would be of inestimable value to the
nation in time of military necessity in
the future.

For the greatest. as well as the

in common with all other parts OF the

THE present defenseless condition OF
this nation has already been discussed:
Our neglect has amounted to national
crime. 1t has brought into jeopardy
our national peace.
The fact is, as every naval and mill
tary expert knows, that If we were at
tackled today we could scarcely make
even a decent show of resistance:
Wherever the attack might be directed
our sea coast territory would have to
be speedily abandoned. and it is to be
remembered that within the district
covered by a 150-mile radius from New
York city lie practically all the NUM-
ton and ordnance producing plants
of the United States.
