Preparedness Talk: Navy Needed Now Says American Defense Society
The Williston Graphic reports the American Defense Society’s plea for immediate buildup including forty eight dreadnoughts and a standing army of 200000 with 45000 officers.

The editor counterpoints with skepticism about the plan and notes the belief that European powers will be exhausted after the war.
