necessary.

service declare that they will press for
immediate action on this measure or a
similar one. The plans now under consid-
Grafton in the department, however, call
for raising the regular army and the or
ganized militia under Federal control
to 10000 men and for providing the

Congress and the President decide they
are needed. While army experts gener-
ally opposed any effort to raise an army
of great size under the volunteer system.
they are prepared to take advantage of
it. if 1t becomes necessary to save time.
The Navy Department took the final
steps for preparedness that were possible
without further legislative action. Orders
placing the fleet on a war footing. and
making war dispositions of the strategic
units, have been prepared and are ready
for transmission the moment Congress
acts. In addition to the regular fleet, the
Navy has organized for immediate serv-
ice the fotilla of submarine chasers,
