Description:Excerpt from Extension of Remarks of Hon. Augustus P. Gardner of Massachusetts: In the House of Representative; January 14, 1915 This estimate makes no allowance for the additional trained men required for signal and tactical work, etc., on hoard all the auxiliary vessels, which we must obtain in ease of war, nor does it allow for the additional men needed to man the warships now under construction. Instead of this we have only 52,300 men. Admiral Badger and Admiral Vreeland testified that we need 100 submarines. (Admiral Vreeland testified that we needed that number for harbor defense alone.) We have only 58 submarines built, building, or authorized, and many of them are absolutely obsolete and worthless. We need an ample supply of aeroplanes and a few Zeppelins or other type of dirigibles. We have only 23 aeroplanes (none of them armored) and not n single Zeppelin or other dirigible. We need as big guns in our coast defenses as the modern foreign superdrenduaughts carry. The most powerful cannon in any fortification on the Atlantic coast are only 12-inch guns. Superdreadnaunghts of the Queen Elizabeth type each carry eight 15-inch guns. We need a large number of men in the Naval Militia and a large number of men in the Naval Reserves. We have only 7,700 men in the Naval Militia, we have no Naval Reserve, and sailors in the merchant marine are not trained for the highly specialized duties of modern men-of-wars-men. According to the estimate of the General Staff of the Army, prepared before the outbreak of the European war, we need a field army of 460,000 men, composed of regulars, militiamen, and reserves, ready to take the field at once at the outbreak of war. According to the Secretary of War's annual report, we have only 29,405 regulars available for a field army, together with 119,087 militiamen if they all came to the front in time of war, and 16 men in the Army Reserve. According to the last report of the Chief of Staff, United States Army, we need 11.790.830 rounds of artillery ammunition and 646,000,000 rounds of rifle ammunition. Instead of this, we have on hand and being manufactured only 580.098 rounds of artillery ammunition and 241,000,000 rounds of rifle ammunition. According to this same report we need 2,834 field and artillery guns. Instead of this we have on hand or being manufactured only 832 field artillery guns.
