AMERICA’S ARMY.
NATIONAL DEFENCE PLANS. STATE OF PREPAREDNESS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn—Copyright. Received Dec. 8, 9.45 p.m. Washington, Dec. 7. The Secretary for War, in his first annual report, stated that plans which have been initiated for the preparation of national defence contemplate a more complete state of preparedness than for any previous period in the peace time history of the United .States. He added that the framework of the plans had been completed, but they would be ineffective unless the nation would ensure success by lending financial support. Young men must be trained to fill the places in the national reserves, and industries prepare to co-operate in war-time production. The American people started along this path and cannot afford to turn back. He pointed out that the national military academy, which trains officers, must be increased in size and must increase its activities. Aircraft must be developed. Studies in gas and chemical warfare generally are progressing.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
