IS WEAK SPOTS POINTED OUT Urges Passage of Volunteer Army Bill, the Present System Having Many Defects. Washington. Major General Wood, chief of staff, paints a rather gloomy picture of the lack of preparedness of the army in case of war, in his annual report to the secretary of war, made public Friday. There were weak spots in many di rections, he said, and most serious was the shortage of field artillery and ammunition, a fault which shouid be immediately corrected. General Wood declared there was a great lack of reserve seacost ammunition and that, at the present rate of appro priation by congress, it would take more than fifty years to obtain a rea sonable supply of ammunition for the coast defense and a still longer time to otain the necessary artillery and ammunition. If the regular army and organized militia at war strength were called to arms today, said General Wood, there would be a shortage of more than 50 per cent in the field artillery necessary to equip them. This force would represent only a portion of the force called to arms in case of war with a first class power. General Wood strongly urged the passage by congress of the pending bill for raising a volunteer army in time of war. He said this would cost nothing in time of peace and would save the government millions of dol lars in time of war. The present law was so unsatisfac tory and vague that the general staff could not make preparations in ad vance for its execution in event of war. Other needs of the military service were set out in the report, including the addition of filO officers to replace those detailed from line duties for staff and militia work; the creation of a reserve of not less than 300.000 men who have served in the army or rnilitia; the concentration of the army in largo posts; the re-establishment of the canteen and the increase of the signal corps and the acquisi tion of aeroplanes.
