Washington, Feb. 2i.--While the
house military committee was taking
steps today toward getting its bill
for increasing the regular army and
fcderalizing the national guard be-
fore the house within ten days, the ma
val committee was being informed by
Admiral Cameron MGR. Winslow that
the entire Pacific fleet which he com
mands might be an easy victim for
single good enemy battleshlp.
Wholly Inadequate.
Admiral Wnslow made the state
ment smilingly. Pressed by Repre-
sentative Stephens, of California, for
an exact description of the condition
of the ships under his command, he
said the force was wholly inadequate,
even with all its reserves called out,
To meet any probable enemy in the
Pacific What plans the navy depart
ment had for meeting an emergency
there or in the Atlantic, however, he
said we're matters of strategy Which
he did not care to reveal except in

asRepresentative Stephens agreed that
this discussion should be as proposed;
hut said he had many questions stu to
ask regarding the Pacific fleet. He
will pursue the subject tomorrow.
The military committee is making

the house fixed to follow the immigra-
ton bill. The committee is sitting all
Gay at its task and perfecting the
measure and it was suggested today
that night sessions might be started
TO hasten the work.
Better Fortifications.
Further light on the war depart
ment's plan for additional coast de-
fenses also was explained today when
testimony of Brig Gen. William Cro-
2er, chief of army ordnance. before
the Notifications committee. became
available. The committee has had no
open hearings. While General Crozier
told the military committees of both
houses the substance of his recommen-
dations, mis- statements before the for
tfications committee amplify his pc
sition somewhat.
The heaviest new Notifications, Gen.
-
eral Crozier said will be placed at the
mouth of Chesapeake bay, which he
described as one of several places
where facilities for land operations
are so goo that it is worth while 10
