Army and Navy strategy in past and possible wars is dealt with by Gen. Charles P. Summerall, until recently | chief of staff of the Army, in his an- { nual report, just published, in which he stresses the value of a well organized, | disciplined and officered force at the | beginning of & war. Loss of the Panama Canal, he asserts, might completely eliminate the naval fleet of the ited States in either the Pacific or Atlantic Ocean, where its presence was vitally needed, while the capture of the Island of Oahu, in the Hawaiian Islands, which contains the big naval base at Fearl Harbor and the city of Honolulu, would restrict Uncle Sam’s fleet to op= erations within a limited radius from | the Pacific Coast. Stresses Adequate Army. Seeking to impress upon his supe- | tors the need of an adequate standing | Army, Gen. Summerall said in his re- rt: po“A concentrated force of 10,000 well trained Regulars at the beginnirdg of the Civil War would have won the bat- | tle of Bull Run and, in all probability, | saved the Nation years of ensuing war- | fare and many millions of dollars. | ““Tne mrst expedition sent to France | by Great Britain imr 1914 consisted of five divisions of regulars, about 100,000 well trained men. In 16 days after declaration of war this little force had crossed the channel, marched to the front and fought the battle of Mons. Driven back with the French to the southeast of Paris and subjected to all the demoralizing influences of a long retreat, its discipline and training en- abled it to resume the offensive with the French and take an important part in the first battle of the Marne. In view of the critical situation of the French troops in the first campaign of the war, it cannot be doubted that the British reinforcement of 100,000 men was a very important, if not a decisive, factor in the issue of the battle, * * ¢ Defense of Panama Canal. “The Regular Army should assure the ability of our naval forces to con- cific, as required by the situation, guaranteeing the defense of the Pan- |ama Canal and our Pacific base on Oahu. The security of these localities is vital to successful naval action. Loss of the Panama Canal might completely eliminate the fleet from operations in the ocean where the situation demands its presence. Loss of Oahu would re- strict it to operations within a limited radius from the #Pacific Coast. Since the situation may make it impossible to dispatch reinforcements to our for- eign possessions at the outbreak of war, their garrisons should be tained 'the | House of 'Hu?-m:, where Americans had centrate in either the Atlantic or Pa-§| SUPREME COURT PLANS land as & sician in 1892, when youth, was a practic - B vas comlated /TAFT MEMORIAL SERVICE | e Boft Post g oiar ok St Late Chief Justice Will Be Hon- ored on December 13—Ceremony for Sanford Also.
