Gen. March also announced that ex-

possibility OF a foreign nation landing
troops in the United States were en-
tirely too high.
These estimates. Gen. March said,
included $4,000 men in sixteen DAYS by
Germany; 100000 by France In the
same time; 10000 by Austria and
a3S,0o0 by Japan. These were based on
a calculation OF a transport making a
round trip every. thirty days, whereas
experience proved that thirty-five days
was required for even the very fastest
OF the transports and seventy days for
cargo ships
