NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Six
American armies totalling 4,OOO,-
600 men will be available at all
times under a plan the War De-

Assistant Secretary of War J.
Mayhem Wainwright told num-
Der of army officers and bust
ness men entertaining him at the
Harvard Club.
The plans for this huge mobili-
cation, be said, would depend
greatly on close cooperation by
the business groups which must
supply equipment. Mr.. VAIN
wright, who is resigning his posi-
ton to enter Congress, said the
general staff was determined
never again to let the nation be
unprepared either in a military
or industrial sense for any
emergency.
Maj. Gen. M. M. Patrick, of the
air service, said it was difficult
to obtain supplies for his depart
ment as the airplane industry
seemed to be non-existent. He
drew a picture Of an aerial at
tack on New York which the city
could not resist because of in
sufflciency Of planes.
