THE ALBANY DAILY HERALD! TUESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1606. UNCLE SAM’S VULNERABLE SPOT. A paper prepared by the General Staff and just transmitted to congress by Secretary Ta't calls attention to the fatal weakness Albany Herald —BY THE— aid Publishing Co. army ’transport resources — a weakness which, were war toebe suddenly thrust . upon the country, would bring down upon the government a storm of de nunciation the like of which has not been heard In years. In ’ a nutshell, the representations In the paper are simply to the effect that should the sudden exigencies of war demand that United States troops be placed on foreign shores, or even convoyed to our Insular possessions, It would be found absolutely Impossi ble to meet the emergency, There would not be available, even under the most favorable conditions to be conceived, transports of sufficient number and tonnage to move what at present constitutes our smnll stand ing army. Referring to the movement of troops rom Tampa to Santiago during the war with Spain, th» report says: "The official records afford ample evidence that the safe nrrlval was duo to the good fortune of continued fine weather. A severe storm en countered would have scattered the fleet probably with great loss of ltle, and would have defeated the object of the expedition. There Is nothing ex cept the successful arrival to justify Its departure. Sanitary arrangements were crude and Insufficient. Of ven tilation, there waB practically none. "These statements apply In full force only to the Bhlps fitted out dor the Cuban expedition. This fleet of ships could not have embarked under reasonable over-Bea transport condi tions a force of moro than 8,000 or 10,000 men, ttnd when so embarked the expedition could have been dls- pntched on a long voynge only at groat Jeopardy of the welfare of the men and of the success of the enter prise. It had already been shown that this fleet was practically all that could be secured In Atlantic waters, except by Impressment of American or purchase of foreign ships.” It Is stated in the report that the American merchant marine must be Inoreased to two and one-halt times its present tonnage before present/ conditions can improve, and congress Is strongly urged to consider the need of such subsidy provisions ns may be doomed wlso. Certainly the case made out by the General Staff Is a serious one, and those who are opposed to any sort of ship subsidy, on general principles, will do .well to trot out their schemes to meet the burning emergency of the hour. y Afternoon Except Sunday. <iy (8 pages) Every Saturday. “Lest thou lift up tblne eyes unto heaven, and whpc thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the star., even all the host of heaven, shouldst be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the Lord, thy God, hath divided unto all na'IonB under the whole heaven.” Dent 4:19. ill subscriptions payable In ad* ice. idvertlstng rates reasonable and de known on application, lards of thanks, resolutions of re- ct and obituary notices, other than ae whloh the paper Itself may give a mattei | PROF.
