Washington, Jan. 16.—-A rsmarkabie
exposition of the fatal weakness of the
army transport resources in case of war
is contained in a paper prepared by the
general staff, transmitted by Secretary
Taft to Senator Gallinger, chairman of
the Merchant Marine commission, in
charge of the shipping bill now pend
ing before tbe senate.
In tbe course of its work in prepar
ing in time of peace for war, the gene
ral staff has discovered that even the
present limited military force could not
be transported over the sea, in case of
a war with a foreign country, or to de
fend our insular possessions, unless
increase in the number of American
steamships suitable for transport ser
vice.
~ It is pointed out that foreign ship
ping could not be drawn upon in
time of war because of the neutrality
laws, so that under present conditions
“ths quick first blow, so very and in
creasingly important, cannot be struck
at all.” Incidentally, the staff criti
cises with the greatest freedom tbe con

American army was transported to San

war.
