Mr. Gardner had a series of lively pss- sages with members or the commiuee. which he srrefgnod for not summoning Major Generals Wood snd Crosier te get their a on preparedness. He quoted figures to show that th combined force of re&ulsrs end nations! guatdemen would form a battle line sixty-five miles long, two-thirds of the way around Greater New Tork, and that com pared with European nations the equip ment of field guns of the United State srmy was negligible. Mr. Gardner said he understood a con fidential report at the War department from one of the observers In Europe said some of the French field gur shot away' 600 or 600 rounds n day. Klght American field guns, he Fald. could shoot away mmunltlon as faet as government ar senals could make It.
