event Of war would be without
masks.
Rifles Out Of Date
World War masks have long
since fallen to pieces from age,
and the Army has no war reserve.
General Craig said a minimum of
100000 new masks yearly are
needed.
Practically all the rifles pos
sessed by the Army are of design
more than 80 years old. A modern
European Army could outshoot
the doughboy with ease. The
Army has only $500 Of the new
semi-automatic shoulder weapons,
enough for about two regiments.
Against this weapon, which fires
as rapidly as the finger can be
pressed, the old Springfield is al
most as Intellectual as a flintlock.
Most of the field artillery guns
are obsolete. The Army has
plenty of wartime seventy-fives
mounted on wagon wheels with a
range of 1000 yards, but few
modern pieces capable of shooting
1900 yards, of rapid traversing to
combat modern tanks that move
over rough terrain at 80 miles an
hour or better. of eleVatinp for
anti-aircraft use. and equipped for
towage behind fast, light trucks.
Only ID batteries of the regular
Army field artillery have been
modernized. The present modern.
ization goal is As batteries. In ad.
dition, there are nine batteries of
modern mechanical howitzers cap
able of a range of 5000 yards and
using the 75-mm. shell.

United States from Europe and
Asia remains its chief defense de-
spite marked progress during the
last three years in rearming the
Army on a modern defense basis.
The small American Army,
which is designed only for defense
against invasion, is lacking in
three vital necessities for fighting
off an attack from the skies:
airplaneS, anti-aircraft artillery,
and gas masks.
Back of the annual report Of
the Army chief of staff, Gen.
Malin Craig, International News
Service uncovered details Of a fear
full picture of the nations unpre-
parednesS against attack.
In the event of a sudden and
unexpected war, the United States
would have to battle in the air
with 1000 planes less than the
minimum considered necessary
for defense. The Army has 1854
planes Of all types in service. The
Baker board recommendation calls
fc: 1920.
Craig Sounds Warning
Only one anti-aircraft regiment
in the whole Army is equipped
with the modern, electrically con-
trolled batteries deemed necessary
for effectively combating bombing
attacks. Five such regiments are
called for in the five-year program
of Army modernization, now at its
halfway point. This is the mini
mum considered imperative for de-
fense purposes only.
General Craig declared the
Army'S unpreparedness "is par
ticularly acute" in the field of
anti-aircraft defense.
There should be provided the
modern armament needed for such
units" he stated, warning:
"In an emergency the demand
for anti-aircraft protection will
be immediate and enormous"
Even more startling was the
revelation that approximately half
the 10000 doughboys would have
to face the poison gas without gas
masks. The 100000 National
Guardsmen who would be mus
tered into service Immediately in

Altogether, the front was much

"All insurgent attacks have

ManZanares River has not been
crossed by insurgents at any

Meanwhile, the main attempt Of
the insurgents to dislodge loyal
lists defending the Manzanares
was continued in the Casa de
Campo, but batteries of French
.75's firing point-blank, together
with a machine-gun barrage, threw
the insurgents back, causing them
to lose their important position.

The United States is virtually
defenSeless against air attack and
its accompanying horror of deadly
poison gases.
Should a powerful foreign foe
suddenly unleash horde of bomb
ing planes against American
shores, the entire civilian popula-
ton and a large part of the Army
would be exposed to gas dropping
from the skies without gas masks
to protect them.
There are no gas masks avail
able today for civilian use and
only relatively small number for
the Army.
Only the feeblest resistance
could be offered the invading sky
hordes by Army anti-aircraft
forces.
Short of Weapons
And, on the ground, the Army,
were it called upon to fight, would
have to face an enemy far short
Of the minimum number of
modern artillery pieces, tanks, and
even the latest-type shoulder rifle,
needed to equip the present small
peacetime force.
Before a month passed, the
Army would find it's stock of shells,
bullets, and hand grenades at the
point of exhaustion.
