lied to prepare in time of peace neees
sary tools specially required for the
manufacture of arms, ammunition, etc,
so that they may ee ready if needed at
any time.
For the production of nitrate neces-
sary in the manufacture of ammunition,
plant of plants are authorized, and an
appropriation of $20,000,000 made for
their erection.
A further provision of the act is de.
signed for the protection of the uni
forms Of the army, navy, and marine
corps.
To secure a highly specialized corps
of officers for the regular army the
corps of cadets at the military academy
is increased from about 40 to 1892, un-
der the act of Nay 4, 1916.
In addition to the National defense
act which l have called attention the
president is authorized in time of war
or when war is threatened, under the
act of April 25, 1914, to organize vol
unteer army. This act, like the Nation
al defense act, is a splendid piece of con-
structive legislation, and with both on
the statute books there is no doubt but
that in case of necessity the probabili-
ty of raising an army which could be
made efficient within a reasonable time
would only be limited by the readiness
with which our citizens volunteered for
service.
During no administration since tho
Civil war has so much been done to pro-
vide our country with an army or to
place within the hands of the president
the power to organize an army sufficient
for national defense, and at the same
time limitations are placed upon this
power to prevent the maintenance of a
large standing army by any president
who might feel disposed to do so even
where no necessity therefor existd
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1916-10-28
BY Senator George E. Chamberlain.
Chairman, Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee.

There is q strange sentiment in this
country against the maintenance of a
large standing army, but every patriotic
citizen favors the maintenance of a
sufficient army for our defense and pro-
lection and believes that whatever army
we have ought to be kept at the highest
point of efficiency. From Revolution
ary days to the present time whenever
this country has been engaged in war,
whether with foreign country or dur
ing the Civil War, experts in military
affairs from Washington to Sherman,
and from Sherman to the present gener-
al staff, individually and collectively,
have called attention time and time
again to the inadequateness and ineffi-
cheney of the unorganized militia.
Prior to the Spanish American war we
maintained an army of about $500 men
dividen into 20 regiments of Infantry,
10 of Cavalry and seven of Coast Ar
tillery. OF these the mobile army con-
sisted of about 10000 men. When the
war with Spain became an accomplished
fact the army was so badly organized
and so insufficient in numbers as to
he wholly insufficient even in war
with so weak power as Spain. The re-
suit was that congress enacted hastily
legislation looking to the reorganiza-
tion and increase of the army so as to
vitalize it and render it efficient. This
legislation, however, was not well dir
ected and the army organized under it
even when increased to the maximum
must have met with disaster in an en-
counter with any but the disorganized
and poorly equipped army Of Spain.
Santiago was fought in the main by
trained regulars because sufficient
time had not elapsed to enable the vol
unteer forces to be sufficiently mobiliz-
ed and trained for foreign duty. We
were wholly unprepared in 1883, and it
will never be definitely known what
that condition of unpreparedness has
cost our country in men and in money.
At the close of the war the army con.
sisted of 30 regiments of infantry, 15 Of
cavalry, six of field artillery, and a
coast artillery corps, and certain special
troops, consisting of about 10000 men,
the infantry, cavalry and field artillery
constituting the mobile army. This force
was wholly insufficient to properly gar.

The present administration has been

had been as ardent advocates of proper
preparedness prior to 1898 and during
that time the history of that war might

Under the act the National guard, as
the organized militia will be known,
will consist of approximately 1900 of
ficers and 100000 enlisted men to con-
form to that of the regular army as will
also its equipment and armament. The
enlisted period in the National guard
will be for six years. Three with the
colors and three in reserve. The presi-
dent is authorized to draft the National
guard into service of the United States
and to draft additional men to keep
these units at war strength. Horses are
to be furnished mounted organizations
of the guard, with provision for their
care and maintenance. The training of
the National guard will consist OF not
less than 4S periods of armory training
of not less than one and one-half hours
each and 15 days field training Ma
tional guard officers and enlisted men
may be sent to the various army SER

there receive pay.
