TRAINED NEEDED DEFENCENEW ARMY BILL FALLS SHO

The War college paper declares the whole military
history of the United States prOcaims the truth Of the
fact that trained army IS most vital requisite IN
all warfare, past and 1utuIe
It says:
aDurino the revolutionary the colonies de-
penda5 I+ entirely on unframed partially trained
men (Tba volunteers we shall have for our next war
will be the unframed men; the militia the half trained
men so II appears) During the entire course Of this
Great Britain employed not more tnan loO,OOO
men, vet the total number of British troops in the
colonies At snv time was very much less; while the
colonies themselves used 395955 men, notwithstanding
which the largest force that Washington able
to assemble for battle at time was about 1900
@During the war Of 1912 the United States
ploved 527s54 men. of whom only a small proportion
were regular soldiers and most of these regulars
only in name for the majority Of regular regiments
were organized after the beginning Of the war, while
Great Britain employed only $1,000 men and never at
one time had more than 5000 men opposed to
any field of battle That we did suffer a great
disaster was undoubtedly due to the fact that Great
Britain, during this entire war, was engaged IN her
gigantic contest with Napoleon and used only the odds
and ends Of her military forces against US"
And now comes paragraph which throws a new
and most significant light upon the civil wal from the
effects of which still suffering.

both sides and it was until the United States had

Admitting frankly, however that It is essential to
equip the United States with the most modern appi-
ances of war Mai Sigerfoos estimates that an army
of 100000 men should have, at the beginning of
campaign, reserve supplies as follows;
Five hundred thousand rifles; 25OO machine guns;
225OOO0OO0 cartridges; 5000 field guns and 10000
rounds per gun ammunition for field guns It is esti
hausted in the first four months Of and must be
replaced by supplies
Supplies with troops for mobilization, he estimates
follows:
Eight hundred thousand rifles; 5000 machine guns:
1O2oooo,oOO cartridges, 5000 field guns and 1000
rounds per gun ammunition for field guns All the
Inmates for rifle cartridges admittedly low
These figures do not take account Of certain other
material essential to modern mobile armies, such as
airplanes motor transport, and big guns It is the
theory of the War college that arpanes vitally

campaign much like that in Servia, with little of the
siege warfare Of France and the Dardanelles.
But emphasizing the essential features Of trained
personnel conjunction with adequate supplies, ready
for use, Of the most modern machinery, Maj SgerfOos
says IN his memorandum:
"A study Of the above figures Gin part, those just
quoted shows the vital Importance of mateTie in
modern warfare and the hopelessness of any war in
which we might be engaged with any country having
a trained army, should fail to be amply provided
with such materieL
But many people believe that, if well
supplied with the modern machinery of war there will
be no need of trained personnel. There be no
greater falacy likely to bring greater disaster

nor trained nor physically fit, provided with

even hospital supplies Only large, splenddly trained
differed and equipped army could be equal to such an
onslaught as a firstclass power would deliver.
Showing further the need of large trained army in
anticipation of wars opening Cen Cherfils Of the
French army writes:

tween the preparation of the attack by the artillery

theory of war contemplates the of artillery to shell

ments statement of proper military policy for the

The document gains interest from the Hay-Cham-
berlain army reorganization bill just passed by
gress and signed by the president. An interesting
point Of comparison is that whereas the new army bill
provides regular army at strength of only 251
500 regular troops, with approximately $4,000 militia,
more less trained, the Army War college, through
Mai SgerfOoss writing, declares highly trained army
Of 100000 is essential for the United States in

The memorandum is chiefly devoted. however, to an
explosion of the old American cOcksure theory that
in case of war, huge volunteer army be readily
organized to defeat the highly trained military forces
