Preparation for Defence

Abstract:
The total strength of the army at the outbreak of war, under the present organization, would be represented by about 100,000 men, and as this force is more than likely to be insufficient for the conduct of subsequent operations, it will be necessary to increase it by large additions. These additional men may be had in part by drawing on the National Guard; but, should the exigencies be great, they must, for the most part, be obtained as volunteers from the population in general. Volunteers from the population in general would no doubt present themselves up to the number called for, and more too for that matter, but their fitness for immediate use in the army would leave much to be desired.
