We hay not lie able to. do 1t then, for

need troops to enforce. our policy in
Cuba and in the Philippines; and as the
matter stands to-day. we. should not de-
pend upon our volunteer troops, after
all that has been said about: the War
Department in the newspapers. Before
we could get them to go to Cuba or
Porto Rfco-:we should have to have
complete reorganization.
