GEN. WOOD
FOR BIG ARMY
J’LATTSBURG, N. Y.—Major Genera)
Wood, commander of the department ol
the cast, In addressing the 1,100 busi
ness and professional men who com
pose the military instruction camp her*
and the regular army officers who art
instructing them, declared tonight in
favor of a standing army of 250,00C
men.
"The perfectly asinine statement," he
said, "has been made that we coult
raise l,0f)0,000 men between sunrise and
sunset. This assembly of you men here
in camp is an answer to that sort of
foolishness.
"I hope that when you men go away
from here you will use your influence
as good American citizens, in contrast
to the ignorant masses, by whom you
must not be influenced, to help secure
sane legislation for an adequate arma
ment. The system of volunteers has
always been a failure. Washington
warned us earnestly, even in his day
against depending upon volunteers.
“Thlst alk of a volunteer army is all
foolishness. Every citizen owes an ob
ligatory service to his country.
"The nations we apprehend are pre
pared. Then ations who are coming tc
us ur« prepared and ready.
"Yuu men have done perfect wonderi
in two days, but to raise an army foi
our defense we would require 40.000 of
ficers to begin with.”
The 1,100 business and profeaslona
men sat Immovable for several seconds
then burst into shouts. The rest of the
evening General Wood’s address and Its
slgnlncance formed the chief topic o>
conversation In camp.
Among the private soldiers In the
audience who heard General Wood was
Hubert Bacon, former ambassador tc
!■ ranee, who earlier in tbe day declare^
that he was attending the camp as i
protest against ttie unpreparedness ol
the Lnlted States. He repeated to Am
erica the warning Field Marshal Loro
Roberts gave to England before the
war.
“Lord Roberts warned England a ful
year before war began," said Mr. Bacon
“that the day would come, and as h»
lay dying he Bald, “The day has come.’
consider It my duty to repeat to Amer
ica the words of the Held marshal, “Tht
day will come.' ”
