aa a military failure, emphasizing tba
urgent necessity of abandoning tb

Leonard Wood, commanding the east

Both of tbe generala advocated uni

clared that tbe country now waa utter
ly defenseless against a well-organized ,
foe; that the mobilization waa tra
gedy, and that if the guardsmen had
met good troops they "would never
have known what bit them." General
Scott told the committee that lesson
drawn from the present war proved
that in case of war with a fint-claaa
power tbe United State would need,
immediately a trained force of 1.500,
