The Adjutant General, who has been 1
In close touch with the War Depart
ment at Washington since the United,
States severed diplomatic relations I
with Germany, made no attempt to
disguise tho concern he manifestly,
felt at what he bluntly described us
the military unpreparedness of the
State and nation.
Now on Brink of War
He declared that the United States
was on the brink of war, that "no Am
erican knows what Is going to happen
pext, nor need be surprised if the gov
ernment should be found Impotent in
case of war." \

'We do not know when our soldl-2i s j
will be ordered Into the trenches. If |
we go to war, it will not be singly, for,
If we do not join Issues with the Allies. |
where will we stand? We must net j
ready not only to defend our own
shores from Invasion but get ready
to send men abroad to help those with
whom we must ally ourselves if we
are not to be found fighting alone in
some great crisis which the future now
has hidden from us."
The hearing at which the Adjutant
General spoke was conducted after he
and other members of the State
Armory Board had previously agreed
that at least $3,000,000 must be pro
vided by the Legislature for the con
struction and equipment of adequate
quarters for the National Guard of
Pennsylvania if it was to be placed
upon a basis of genuine military pre
paredness.
The Adjutant. General announced
that a bill providing for such an ap
propriation would bo drawn up and

were present Brigadier General Al

General Charles Bowman Dougherty,
of Wilkes-Barre; Brigadier General
William G. Price, Jr.; Colonel Louis
A. Watres, of Scranton. former Lieu
tenant Governor of Pennsylvania; and
Colonel George C. Rickards, all promi
nent officers of the Guard and all
members of the Armory Board, of
which Governor Brumbaugh is the
president.
Adjutant General Stewart cited facts ]
and figures to show that the govern
ment had already Invested vast sums
to bring the National Guard of Penn- j
sylvania up to its present war strength
and that the State would be certain
to receive a substantial return upon
the $3,000,000 asked for in case the
Legislature provided that amount for
State armories and stabling accommo
| dations for the government horses be
longing to cavalry and artillery.
He sounded a note of warning
if the "call to arms" comes that no
State would require more real pre
paredness than Pennsylvania if only
because of her great munitions making
and other industrial plants,
i . N. (i. P. Among the Best
i "None of us can tell when some
body is going to do the most damnable
things right in our own State," de
clared the Adjutant. General. "I have
only just received from a certain cor
poration information that it alone pos
sesses twenty-eight magazines which
are veritable arsenals.
"No State is better prepared from a
military standpoint than Pennsylvania.
"We should be proud of our Na
tional Guard but we should take
proper care of it. These are serious
times and it behooves Pennsylvania to
set an example to the rest of the coun
try in proving its military prepared
ness. Upon such a State as ours the
national government depends. Let us
not be unworthy of her confidence in
us. She has shown that confidence in
the vast sum she has expended upon
our Guard. Why should wo not do
Jour share?
"If our house Is In danger tho first
thing we do Is to care fbr it. We
might as well realize that we could
not afford, as a State or as a nation,
an Independent peace between the al
i lies and Germany, No greater mili
tary prize exists to-day than our own
country. In the event of war with
Germany we would have to not only
! guard that prize but join with the al
lies In helping to make war.
I General Dougherty, reading from a
I letter from Major Moseley, U. S. A.,
quoted that army officer ns aylng that
the National Guard of Pennsylvania
was "the marvel of all the United
States army officers who saw it."
"It Is time to come up to the
scratch," said the General. "It is
time to serve notice on the rest of the
Union that Pennsylvania stands for
real military preparedness and is will
ing to properly house and care for her
citizon soldiery. Why, the State of
New York has $26,000,000 invested in
armories alone and I do not hesitate
to compare our Guard with hers."
As the hearing dre wto a close, Sen
ator Buckman remarked that the State
"must have money to appropriate be
fore it can make appropriations."
"We trust that we will receive your
support in the event of our deciding
upon certain revenue measures In or-
I der to meet urgent financial requlre
jments," asked the Senator.
"You certainly will have mine and
j that of every member of the Armory
j Board," declared Adjutant General
Stuart —and there the hearing closed.
