recommendation of Secretary Garrison
for a 18,000 increXS la men was very
moderate. ,
Ho expressed regret that only sixteen
men were on the reserve list, subject to
be called back to the colors to fill up ths
gaps which war would make In ths reg
ular army.
Benator Lodgs declared the army waa
without sufficient artillery and artillery
ammunition and said available testimony
showed that the guns in the fortifications
were of shorter range that those car
ried by foreign warships of the latest
designs.
He said the army had practically no
motor trucks for transport or armored
cars with machine guns.
"The difficulty sppears to be," he con
tinued, "according to 'the War depart
ment, that no aatiafactory motor truck
haa yet been developed In the United
States."

Senator Lodge stated that there was
apparently a sufficient number of mines
for harbor defense, but that there was) a
shortage of cable and mine planters.
As to the navy, Senator Lodge said
more destroyers were needed, but tho
most obvious weakness was In subma
rines. The worst deficiency, he contin
ued, was In scout erulners, the United
States having only three, against aev-
enty-four In England, fort)' -one in Ger

"We have, therefore, three scout cruis
ers," declared the senator, "to protect

centrated on the Atlantlo coast, they
would have to cover 1,000 mllea a day to

The European war, he aald. had dem

triiiy had only thirteen aeroplanes and
no Zeppelins or dirigible airships, and no
armored aeroplanes and no guns suitable
for aeroplanes. The navy haa twelve
aeroplanes and no Zeppelins or dtiiglblea.
Senator Lodge atated that he had been
Informed that tho appropriation for naval
aircraft had not been expended, the delay
being due, among other things, to fall

"It Is quite possible," he concluded
"that the wararng European nations have

The code commission has decided that
It will urge the legislature to provide
for a separate volume for the code Index.
The supplement containing all the leg
islation enacted since the lssus of the
cods in has been printed and dis
tributed. But the index was not com
pleted. The compilers have found that
the index as planned will make a book
nearly as large aa the supplement or the
code. It is believed that. In view of the
fact that ths index is to be for the code
and supplement. It would be best to
have It in a' separate book.
