~ sentative Gardner of Massachu
sets, speaking before a larg,
crowd ar the meeting of the nationa
security league last night, urged upor
his hearers the necessity Of increasing
the army to at least 250,00O men, in
stead of the $4,000 men called for il
the plan advocated by Secretary OF
War Garrison. -.. ="
Favors Conscription
Mr.. Gardener also declared that the
only real safety Of the country lay in
adopting some plan whereby the young
men Of the land might be compelled to
serve at least one year with, the colors
without respect to their social cOndi
tion In life. He would then have them
discharged from the serviee and certi
fed rs trained men. %Essg y. q
He spoke also Of the need of In
creasing the pay Of the officers and en-,
listed men of the army, and attacked
the plans for acontinenIal army as
outlined by the Secretary of war and
the President. These plans he declared
are utterly inadequate in face of the
lessons tanght by the European conflict.
Warships of any foreign power suffici
emily strong could, he asserted, cover
the landing of troops at Rockaway
Beach, on the south coast of Long IS
land, and never gun of all the guns
around New York harbor could touch
them.
Navy Should Be Large
He also asserted that the American
navy needed a thorough overhauling,
not that under the circumstances, the
officers and men Of this branch of the
service are leaving undone anything
they could do, but that they are ham.
pered by the system in use. The navy,
insisted the New England congressman
should be increased and improved until
it stood in first place among the navies
of the world, or, If not in first place,
at least among the very largest and
