CAPE MAY - YACHT CLUB « BOLDS FIFTH ANNtiliiNQEET J UL BeistuR expresses seme 5 startling epiiiees o« Military coaditieas r ! Declaring that there are not enough 1 soldiers of the regular army ,in the - United States at present, to manithe ; guns defending New York and Phi la - ' delphia. Colonel H. O. 8. HelBtand, r adjutant of the Department ot tbe i East, said, daring his speech at the ) fifth annual banquet of the Cape May i Yacht Club in the Union League Thurs1 day, that this country would be in a lamentable position in case there was i a sudden. need of a Urge body of fully, : trained and well equipped,mer>. i Colonel Heistand, who] is stationed ' in .New York stated, that, the standing i army was trained excellently, both ■ mentally and physicaliy.^but that the size of the army was a drawback. "At the present time there are not enough regular soldiers in the United States to man the guns defending New. . York and Philadelphia" said Colonel ."Also add that there are not enough organized militia in, this country to defend toeae guns against ! land attack. The same is true of the at San Francicso and Paget j Sound. "I ask you is it not madness to lull j ourselves into a state of fancied secur- ] under the drowsy spell of diplo- j matic love-making, while other nations keep keyed up to their full military i strength so that if a situation should | arise that war would be declared an — — uc ucciarea an

tl enemy prepared for it could effect a •i capture our forts and destroy it seaport cities before we could assemble an effective defensive force? "The National Guard is excellent so far as it goes, but it is deficient in 9 numbers, and, exoept under circum- . stances of gravest emergencies, could . not move with anything like its full a strength. t "A general belief exists that in case I - of an attack millions of patriotic men | i would spring to arms. So they would, ! ? they would not be organized, there j would be no arms for them, no ammu- ! nition, no food supplies, no clothing, I no transportation, no medical supplies, no camp equipment, and if even such j supplies and equipment existed, the men would so lack instruction and discipline tfiat they would not know now to care for them, with the result that tbe majority ox them would succumb to disease before they were worked in- J to shqpe. "A patriotic man with a gun in his hand is no more a soldier than a man with an ax in his hand is a carpenter. 1 "To permit the country to continue 1 in such a defenseless condition is to - invite attack and to call untrained men I to its defefise to die of disease is s crime little short of that precipitating a needless war. It is a condition that I i cannot too soon be exterminated, if I ] we are to remain at peace without sub- ■ . mitting to humiliation. " Colonel Charles J. Warner Hutchlns ' . narner nu ten ins
