Wotherspoon, who retired as ap United States Army Chief of staff (x tBts week, made this assertion in pos!- ot terms in bis annual report made 2 3 buble to-day. Not only ts the country unprepared Ato resist invasion by @ first clase ypbewer, he held, but it ts also in no position to defend the Philippines, the | Panama Canal, Alaska, or Hawail -qfrom hostile attack. Moreover, he contended, the probable value of our Coast defenses is questionable. » To relieve these situations, Gen. “Wotherspoon counselled that the ‘eountry’s standing army be raised i from 100,000 men to 205,000 and that Jin addition there be a mobile army of 600,000 men of the first line and ‘800,000 of the second line, The general, who is a recognized " military expert, declared that this na- tion with its present military strength gannot possibly assemble rapidly enough a sufficient force, equipped for field operations, to cope with an @nemy debarking on our shores. Dis- tribution of forces on a wide front was @avieed because of the wide choice of landing places open to an enemy. For the first line mobile force of 800,000 Wotherspoon would have ““theroughly trained men, equipped 41th provisions and supplies for six .,menths. These would be reinforced \“ by @ second line of 300,000 drawn from the organized militia and sim- ilarly provisioned. Troops now distributed in foreign possessions, or to be distributed un- Ger the present organization plans are totally inadequate for the needs of these outlying districts. Wither- | spoon held. Effective defense of the | Philippines is “manifestly impossi- | ble” under present forces. Neither can the Panama Canal be} © protected against foreign invasion by | ‘the present garrison or by proposed | “additions thereto, unless the army is <@® equipped that these troops could yy be rapidly reinforced from the United No Credits FIFTH AVENUE Best & Ca: W ll Close Out Thursday 897 Waists and Blouses Women’s and Misses’ Sises—2nd Floor Of silks, chiffons, laces, Georgette crepes, crepe de chines, ete.; priced according to materials. 333 formerly up to 5.75.......eeeeeeereeees 2.50 a O OG ii csivivinnnsce vents 3.50 203 =“ ide rere et - 5.00 m4 S BIGDO, .cccccnsvveveveeene 7.25 Included are about 100 Mourning Waists 125 Women’s Serge Dresses Misses’ Sises also—2nd Floor 16.50 18.50 Formerly 18.50 to 42.50 Of serge or serge and satin combined, in the popular winter shades. 12.50 29.75 A Sale of Women’s Suits Misses’ Sizes also—2nd Floor 25.00 Of fine diagonal cheviots with hand- embroidered velvet collar and cuffs; silk lined ; interlitied; in navy, brown or black. 3 Stamped Pieces to be embroidered for Christmas at McCutcheon’s Nothing is more acceptable, more distinctive and individual, than one’s own fancy work Our assortment of stamped goods is choice and varied. none too early to start this work in order to have it finished by Christmas.
