UNITED STATES
LIKE SHIP FACING
TYPHOON SIGNALS
General Wood Paints Dark
Picture For Country If Pre-
paredness Is Neglected

Washington, D. c., Jan. 2s.-The po-
sition of the United States in war
torn world was described to the House
military committee yesterday by
Major General Leonard Wood as like
that of "a ship at sea, with typhoon
signals coming from many directions" "
we are living in an era of war,
he said. land gradually are accumu-
lating most of the troubles of the
world"
General Wood, who appeared at the
committees hearings on the army in
crease bills, said it would take an army
of million and half to hold a line
from Boston south. Should conditions
at the close of the war in Europe in
vite attack, he declared, any of the
more powerful of the belligerents could
land 100000 men on American soil in
less than thirty days.
A regular army of 100000 fully
trained and always under arms, with
at least 100000 reserves behind
them, should be provided, he urged to
meet this situation. The United States
navy he classed as fourth in fighting
efficiency, and declared 1t could not
maintain control of the sea or defend
the coasts.
In addition. what the United States
needs, according to Major General
Wood. is a
Reserve supply of $4,000 machine
guns,
Adequate mobile army, including
14-inch guns,
Artillery cars for coast defense and
mobile service,
Armored automobiles.
Guns mounted on cars with cater
pillar wheels,
Air craft.
General Wood in his speech said
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-01-28

that If attacked under present condi-
tions by first class Power the Ameri-
can fleet in fewer than sixty days
would be at the bottom of the sea.
With the sea control lost, Gen. Wood
also told the committee the present
mobile army would be unable to stop
an invading force which would be in a
position to capture New York and the
other north Atlantic coast States, levy
tribute and drive the people back into
the interior. With the control of sew
get so per cent. of the munition plants
and would be in a position to capture
nearly all the gold in the country.
I'VE are menaced on all sides, but
God alone can tell who our next enc
my will be- and He will do so some
day. This much | know-our next war
will be with a first class Power
Gen. Wood expressed the belief that
la future attack would be directed
against the coast line somewhere be-
tween Boston and Washington. He
told the committee that it would re-
quire an army of 100000 men to re-
pei such an assault. The General de-
clared that contrary to popular belief
it was not difficult to transport troops
across the ocean.
movement of troops by sea is the
landing demonstrated what an invader
could do on the shores of the United
States"
Gen. Wood declared that he did not
fear attack by one country but by a
combination of Powers. Attack from
the Pacific, he added, would not be
as easy as on the Atlantic.
