naked protests have boen made
,fslnst such a National policy. Ihe
,lsumsnts seem scarcely worthy Of

Than II would DO 10 sny other class OF

strength OF our army DO fixed ai one
soldier 10 every 1000 people, NJ q
mlnlmum, the maximum strength
not 10 exceed ons soldier for every
1900 Population, the strength TO he
del,fnined within these limits by the
President, according TO tho necsssititH
and requirements OF tho nation.
He points out tho importance OF
having al least two stations east Of
the ROCKY mountains nnd one wssl,
situated tor the ace ,Inmodhiion oil ono
regiment Of cavalry, anu renows the
