EQUIPPING A VOLUNTEER ARMY
General D. W. Fir gier, chief of the
Bureau of Orduance, iu his anoual re?
port says that "so loug as the princi?
pal dependence in this country in time
of war is a large voluuteer lorce it is
impracticable to keep on hand larpe
supples of cavalry, artillery aud horse
equipments, as these in the course of a
few years will not only deteriorate but
will have to be materially modified to
keep pace with improvt merits. The
major part of such material can be sup
plied by arsenals as rapidly as troops
can be raised, mustered into the service
and prepared for campaign. There
should, however, be on hand field and
siege artillery, a supply of 100,000 riti-f
and the arsenals kept in a condition eo
as to produce 2.500 per day.
General Flakier does not claim 'or
the 45-calibre Springfield rille an equali?
ty with the new 30 calibre maghziut
rifle of the army,;but says that it is a
very good arm :and possesses many
merits. The department turned on;
90,000,000 rounds of ammunition for
the war.
Smokeless powder only was manu?
factured for field and siege artillery.
The fact that the field and siege artil?
lery was to be employed was not de?
termined until the time that war was
declared. The preparation of smoke?
less powder commenced at once, but
batteries sent to the front had only char?
coal powder ammuniiion.
The reports cf the war experience
gained, says the general, tend to con?
firm the opinion that the fire from
ships cannot silence the fire or seriously
cripple the armament of our modern
batteries: that the ships could not with?
stand the fire of our modern butteries
and that therefore the ships cannot
attack the batteries successfully.
Whether the ships can run by the bat?
teries without too great risk has not
been shown._
