ing Army Be Increased.
Philadelphia, Dec. 23.-About $50 de-
scendants of the Pilgrim Fathers sat
down tonight at the Continental hotel
at the fifteenth annual dinner of the
New England society.
The principal speaker Of the evening
was General Nelson a. Miles, who re-
spOnded to the toast 1.-The Army and
Navy" General Miles speech was di-
rected toward showing our defenseless
position in the event of war, and the
necessity for preparing for war in the
time of peace. General Miles advocat-
ed the increase of our standing army
and the construction of sea coasts and
harbor defenses.
He instanced China as a nation that
believed in the fallacy that it was un-
conquerable because of it's immense
population and great natural resources.
General Miles contended that in these
modern times it is necessary to spend
long years of preparation before a
country is in a position to make war or
withstand an assault.
