NATIONAL DEFENSE GOD, SAYS HINES Chief of Staff Declares Na- tion in Better Position Than Ever Before. By the Associated Press. CHATTANOOGA, —*“Ameri Tenn., February ‘s national defense now better than it ever has been in the history of the world,” said Maj. Gen. John L. Hines, chief of staff of the United States Army, who arrived here last night for the purpose of in- is | specting Fort Oglethorpe. Jur preparcdness is better now than it has ever been because of our latent means of expansion, made pos- sible through a very efficient system,” sald Gen. Hines. “We now have a regular standing army of 117,000 men and 12,000 officers ready for service at a_minute’s notice. “The State. National Guard, also under Federal supervision, makes it possible to instantly throw this num- ber into service, too, when danger threatens. This represents America’s greatest reserve strength. * * “Our reserve officers’ training canfp is another feature that enables us to train the younger generation so that it requires but little drilling to groom them for service in time of war. By having the reserve officers ever at hand we are able to better drill and instruct the new recruits that would come into service should we be thrown into a conflict. “Things are very quiet-in military circles just now, but it is something to feel confident that should we ever be faced by a sudden emergency we are ready for it and beétter, pre- pared to protect our native land than ever before.” —_— Before you_inyvest—investigate!
