MILITARY TRAINTNG ron BOYS.

Secretary LamOnt's recent report on the CON
dltion OF the militia force Of the country shows
that. based on an estimate Of Onc-cighth OF lis
total population. the United States could throw
into the field IN time Of war larger army
than could be raised by any other civilized
country In the world. The statement that there
were at the end OF last year S23}T'I able

figures but the value Of that vast body Of men

considerable cost. The prospect, as he was the
first TO point out was that the plaza would be
surrounded shut In and crossed by elevated rail
way tracks, and he made n number Of earnest
pleas for change Of plans whereby its virtual
destruction might be avoided. Later he de-
vsed plan for a Bridge station and elevated
railway connections, but it was declared i'm
practicable by the Bridge engineers. The only
alternative plan proposed called for an elabo-

$50 600 a year 10 the Society for the Prevention

deserves the additional power which the opera

PROBABLY as much as any other man In BROOKLYN

a high sense OF duty, and he feels that he has

applaud his action. and we do not believe that
