It might, perhaps, he difficult to find a parallel to the gen rroelty so large and so widely distrib uted as this, exercised In behalf of an Institution so recently founded. "I desire to express my appreciation also of the extraordinary wisdom and fidelity which you. as president and trustees, have shown in conducting the affairs of the university. In the mul titude of students so quickly gathered. In the high character of the Institution. In the variety and extent of original research. In the valuable contributions to human knowledge.

The value of the estate Is estimated at MS0.000. The sum of tiO.000 Is set aside for nee of both principal and Interest on alimony to Mrs. Cora I Hansen, the testator's widow, from whom Jie had been Separated. At her death the re mainder reverts to the estate. Except for the provisions of Mrs. Hansen, ttie estate is to be divided among Major Hansen's children and grandchildren. A codicil refers to the membership In the Theosophtttt cult In California of Mrs. Fannie Hansen White and her chil dren and the four children of Walter T. Hanson.

Very truly yours. -JOHN D. ROCKEFEU-ER." President Kjerson Speaks. President Ryerson. of the board of trustees, after making announcement of the gift, said: "It would be difficult to describe adequately the emotions aroused In the minds of the members of the board of trustees by the communication I have Just read. There Is. first of all. a feeling of the deepest gratitude for this wonderful gift. It assures to the university for many years to come a continuous de velopment which cannot fall to Inspire confidence and receive further Impetus through the aid of other benefsctors. Sentiment Referred To. In withdrawing from an active Inter est In the affairs of the university the founder has left no cause for disap pointment In the material side, but there are sentimental considerations which cannot be overlooked, and In measuring the benefits which the uni versity has derived from his Interest In Its welfare there must be taOn Into accisunt not only the great sum of his benefactions and the wisdom with which they were bestowed, but also the constant encouragement derived from his personal Interest and sympathy. "Mingled, however, with the regret that Mr. Rockefeller should deem It wise to sever the ties that have united the founder to the university, there Is recognition of the force of the reasons given for this action, and there la the conviction that in thus anticipating all he had In mind to do for the university and In withdrawing his representatives from the board of trustees, Mr. Rocke feller Is moving solely by a desire to promote she welfare of the Institution he founded"."' The board of trustees adopted a reso lution expressing appreciation of Mr. Rockefeller's generosity and ordered a copy spread upon the records, one of which would be engrossed and con veyed to Mr. Rockefeller by a special committee. NATION DECLARED AT MERCY OF FOES Secret Report, Reviewing Un preparedness, Says Policy Is Wholly Lacking.

In reference to the state of readiness of the country for defense In the event of war, with particular refer ence o Its preparedness to repel Inva sion If attempted (a) on the Atlantic or Gulf coasts or (b) on the Pacific Coast. "In my opinion this country cannot, so far as its land forces are concerned, be considered In a state of readiness for defense or to repel Invasion, if attempted on our coasts by any first class power having the shipping, trans ports, and the navy to protect the transit of her armed forces over the sea. Enemy's Conduct Forecast. "An enemy operating on the offensive aRtlnnt our Atlantic and Uulf or our Pa cific coasts would have a wide choice of objectives and points of landing. He would manifestly keep us Ignorant as to the point of attack selected, and would attempt to make his lodgment on the coast by attacking the coast defenses from tbe front, by landing out of raiyre of tho coast defense guns and attack ing the fortifications from tbe rear or by a combination of both methods. "The liberty of choosing the point of attack which belongs to the offensive and the necessity of providing an ade quate defense available for all points liable to attack. Involves our having, first, a sufficient force of cavalry, field artillery and Infantry to prevent his landing out of range of the seacoast armament and capturing the defenses from the rear, and. second, a sufficient manning detail of coast artillery troops, with ample supplies for operating the cop st defenses against a frontal attack. A conservative estimate of the forces w.ilch could be transported In a single expedition over the Atlantic Ocean to our coast by a flrst-clnss Power would be 100.0m) men. and the time required would be from 10 days to 18 days. "Such an expeditionary force might be followed by another of like strength In from M to 44 days. Atlantic Not Well Guarded. "The minimum number of trained mo bile troops estimated ss necessary to be placed In readiness In the first line at strategic points in the New England, Middle Atlantic and Gulf states, to pre vent a lodgment by the first expedition ary force on the AUantlc or Uulf coast is 5u.0uo. . These troops, about w.Jo or wnicn would belong to the staff, should be In proper proportion of infantry, cavalry, field artillery, etc fully equipped for the field and organised Into the high est tactical units, as well aa In position ready for field operations within 10 or days after military operations start. "To meet this requirement we prob ably would have available In all parts of the United States a total force of 114.M0 mobile troops 31500 regulars and S2.000 organised militia." The Secretary says that the length of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, exclusive of Indentations, Is about -"' miles long. The defenses already established there require for their effective operation against attack from the sea a total force of .40O coast artillery troops, 1. MO regular coast artillery and 44 mili tia coast artillery. This force, it Is eoold he, assembled in the de fenses In from to ) days. i. h the Atlantic and Gulf coasts lack KS.5w men In the mobile troops and 1S,14 or coast aruuer, troops.

"The seacoast armament should be augmented where necessary and equtpped with appliances and provided with an ample supply of ammunition. It Is apparent." says the report, "after considering this paper, which Is based upon a most careful analysis of j the existing situation, that we are al most wholly unprepared for war; that, outside of a reserve of small arms and smalls arms ammunition, we have not equipment adequate to meet the needs of the present segular army and organ ised mllltla at war strength, and. conse quently, nothing to equip other troops: that the things which we most need are those which will take longest to sup ply, especially field artillery guns and ammunition." The report declares the figures to be conservative. It say that "we are al most wholly nnprepared for war. The remedy Is declared to be "self-evident. Preparations for enrollment, equipment and supply must be made. Supplies, other than subsistence, necessary for , k . ahmiifl be assembled and I SIX UlO", packed In such a way as to permit of their prompt distribution. The lack of a -well defined m'lltary policy" Is men tioned. The Secretary concludes by advising the creation of a permanent counsel of National defense, 'to be composed of members of the legislative and execu tive branches of the Government upon whom Joint responsibility In this mat ter rests, to determine a general policy ot National defense and to recommend to the Congress and to the President from time to time such measures re lating to the National defense as it shall deem necessary and expedient."
