The "Virginius affair" in 1878 al

States and Spain. The Virginius. ship

of an American citizen. was captured
by a Spanish war vessel on the high
seas and taken to Santiago. Cuba was
then engaged in the ten years war
against Spain and the Spanish officials
contended that the Virginius was about
to land arms and men for the rebels.
Spain was at that time a republic un-
der President CASTELAR,. and while the
President was having an investigation
made, pending his reply to the demand
of this country that the Virginius be
released, Spanish authorities In Cuba
took matters into their own hands. On
November Z. 1873 Capt. Joseph Fry

now to recall that the national advis-
had been conducting an alleged scien-
tific study of the problem of fight,
advised that fifty-one were obsolete
and four others obsolescent.
We could not have put a single
squadron in the field, although it was
estimated that we should eventually
need at least 800 squadrons, each to
be composed on the average of some
"a officers, $50 men and IS planes, be-
sides large reserve of planes for re-
placements.
Among other subjects considered
with the secretary was the assembly
for training of the National Guard
and the men to come in under the
draft.
In lieu of any previous plans, the
secretary contemplated the construc-
ton of environments in different parts
of the country, and May z the COM
handing generals of the several de-
partments were directed to select
sites.
The actual construction of canton
ments was not begun until nearly
three months after We were in the
war, and so great was the task of
erecting buildings and putting in wa
ter works and sewers that some ninety
days more elapsed by the time these
centers of instruction were ready to
receive troops. Thus it was, with some
exceptions. practically six months be-
fore the training of our army was I'M
der way. Even then several of these
camps were not favorably located, and
training was seriously handicapped
during the fall and winter months.
Rivalry for Our Troops.
About this time the allies brought
up the question of utilizing our men
to build up their armies. AS we shall
see, the subject arose from time TO
time in one form or another, and we
had to fight against it until the end
of the war.
Both the French and British mis-
sions, under NJ Rene Viviani and Ar
thur G. Balfour, respectively, then in
our country, were very keen to have
US consent to fill up the ranks of their
armies with Americans.
I was decidedly against our becom-
ing recruiting agency for either the

French or British, and at that time
this was the attitude Of the War de-
partment also. While fully realizing
the difficulties, it was definitely I'M
derstood between the secretary of war
and me that we should proceed to or
ganize our own units from top to bot
tom and build a distinctive army of
our own as rapidly as possible.
The evident rivalry between the
British and French for control and
use of our forces, even before we had
an army in the field. confirmed my
impression that those two governments
were not working entirely in harmony.
As to their armies. it had been appar-
ent for some time that there was
lack of cooperation between them.
Their efforts were often separate and
distinct-that is, first one and then
the other would attack.
Friends Sought to Go ALONG.
Although it was not generally known
that l was to go abroad, there was
flood of applications to accompany me.
One of them was personal appeal
for service in any capacity by my old
friend, Robert Bacon. who had been
ambassador to France. He had al.

of the chamber only was necessary to

production of this rife exceeded q

As to machine guns, it was reported
TO the conference that we had a few
less than 1900, and these were of four
types. Congress in 1915 had appro-
priated S12.0O0,OO0 for machine guns,
but the War department had not de-

lar one for our army. although an

the three-inch, we did not have enough

CHAPTER III

Our deplOrable situation as to mu
nitions was fully discussed at a con-
ference called by Secretary of War
Baker May 10. 1t was brought out
that we had for issue, not in the
hands of troops, fewer than 2S5,OO0
Springfield rifles, caliber 80; only a
few more than 400 light field guns,
three-inch, and 80 heavy field guns.
As it was impossible because Of
manufacturing difficulties for our fac
tories TO turn out enough Springfield
rifles within a reasonable time, the
secretary decided to adopt the Enfield
rifle for our infantry. 1t was then
being manufactured for the British in
large quantities at private factories in
