What It Means.

Just before the Venezuelan question
came to a head. the Standard remark
ed that II this country proposes to fight
II must first fortify. OF course. II the
presidents message were to precipitate
crisis and speedily involve US in ac-
tual war. there would be no time for
the building of coast defenses. The
presumption is that we shall have no
war over the Venezuelan boundary. but
in a broader way the question Of for
tifcations and an army and navy
forces itself upon public attention.
Several thousands of Americans have
wanted this country to appear with
gunboat representation before Constan-
tinople-Senator Hoar Is out for that.
Probably IL is true that some millions

festly the proposition to stand by Ven
ezuela is popular There is an element
in the country that has hoped for mill
itary complications as the result Of the
Behring-sea troubles. These projects
were they to shape themselves into a
policy. mean that this country must
make up its mind TO become a military
power-if the United States proposes TO
undertake a sort OF protectorate for
North and South America, we must be-
come a first-ciass military power. be-
cause the time will surely come. under
that policy. when we shall have first
class military powers to deal with.
BY way Of preparation. this govern
ment must spend several hundreds Of
millions for Notifications and their
equipment - within twenty years
France has spent about a thousand
millions in this way. This country can
raise the money wherewith to build de-
fenses; these must thereafter be
manned and kept in fighting condition.
Our navy must be made to match the
navies of the first-class military pow
ers with whom a military policy may
bring US in collision. To that end the
American navy must be at least six
times stronger than 1t is.
We must have an army. We cannot
fight trained soldiers with raw recruits
we must have a standing army. Gen.
eral Miles recently proposed that our
army be increased to maximum
strength OF 10000 men. That would
leave us practically no better of than
we are with $4,000 men; we must do as
the first-class military powers do. On
its peace footing the French army
numbers 100000 soldiers; the war
force is 2.s00.00 men. Germany's army
is 100000 men on a peace footing. with
2.so0.ooo for a trained fighting force in
time OF war. Russia has $50. 900 soldiers
in constant training; England has ESQ.,
900 men. including the troops In India.
Italy has standing army of 275.ooO
men; Austria. 35o.0
This country must have a strong ar
my IL 1t proposes to operate in a mill
tary way-it needs. for a starter. 200. 900
soldiers. In turn, this entails enforced
military service. 1t also means a de-
parture from all our traditions. We
believe that would be a depiorable
blunder.

That is What the Jury Found Dayen-

The case of The People VS.. Thomas
Davenport was on trial yesterday before
Judge Hinkson.
The evidence showed that Davenport
and a man named Samuel Friendorff had
an argument in a Second-street dance
hall about the length of time a man who
enlisted had to serve in the United States
navy.
Davenport disputed the assertion of
Friendorff who had been United States
sailor, and struck him over the head with
beer glass, breaking the glass. Frien-
dorff claimed that Davenport also cut
him with knife, and long cash in his
throat seemed to bear out his statement.
Davenport claimed that the cut was made
by piece of the broken glass.
