LETTER TO MIR. WILL SMITH,
Island Pond, VT.

Dear Sir: Although ready for use, ours
is not MIXED Paint" as it contains no
chemicals, Barytes (earth), Whiting,
Lime, China Clay, Water, Alkali or
other aduterants. 1t is made OF strictly
pure Lead, Zinc, Linseed Oil, Uniting Col
ors, and nothing else. This makes the
very best covering paint it is possible to
make. 1t is ground and re-ground by
powerful machinery, which makes it
wear from two to four times as long as
Lead and Oil mixed by hand.
It's the kind we make for the railroads
who are the largest users of paint in the
world. 1t is the kind a painter would
make for you if he had the proper ma
chinery to do the grinding.
Yours truly,
F.W. DEvoE & Co.

ARMY REORGANIZATION.
Standing Force Of 100000 Men Needed
Under Present Conditions.

Under the act of congress approved
April 26, 1898, authorizing the president In
his discretion, upon declaration of war
by congress or a declaration by congress
that war exists, I directed the increase
of the regular army to the maximum Of
$1,000, authorized in said act.
There are now in the regular army ST.
S62 officers and men. In said act it was
provided: ''That at the end of any war in
which the United States may become in
volved, the army shall be reduced to q
peace basis by transfer in the same
arm Of the service or absorption, by pro-
motion or honorable discharge, under
such regulations as the secretary may es-
tablish, of supernumerary command off,
GERS and the honorable discharge or trans
fer of supernumerary enlisted men, and
nothing contained In this act shall be
construed as authorizing the permanent
increase of the command of enlisted force
Of the regular army beyond that now pro-
vfded by the law in force prior to the
passage Of this act except as to the in
crease of Is majors provided for in section
/ hereof"
, The Importance of legislation for the
permanent increase of the army is there
fore manifest, and the recommendation
of the secretary of war for that purpose
has my unqualified approval. There can
be no question that at this time and prob
ably for some time in the future 100000
men will be none too many to meet the
necessities of the situation. At all events,
whether that number shall be required
permanently or not, the power should DO
given to the president to enlist that force
If in his discretion it should be neces-
sary, and the further discretion should
be given him to recruit within the above
limit from the Inhabitants of the islands
with the government of which we are
charged.
Volunteers to BE Sent Home.
It Is my purpose to muster out the en-
tire volunteer army as soon as congress
shall provide for the increase of the regu-
lar establishment. This will be only an
act Of justice, and will be. much appre-
ciated by the brave men who left their
homes and employments to help the coun.
try In its emergency.

resting upon you to give such shape to
the relationship Of those mid-Pacific lands
to our home union as will benefit both In
the highest degree, realizing the aspira-
lions of the community that has cast its
lot with US ard elected to share our DO
litical heritage. while, at the same time
justifying the foresight of those who for
three-quarters of century have looked
to the assimilation of Hawaii as a natural
ana inevitable contamination in harmony
with our needs and in fulfillment of our
cherished traditions.
The questions heretofore pending be-
tween Hawaii and Japan, growing out of
the alleged mistreatment Of Japanese
treaty immigrants, were. I am pleased
to say, adjusted before the act of trans
Ter by the payment Of q reasonable in
demnity to the government of Japan.
Under the provisions Of the joint resolu-
ton, the existing customs relations of the
Hawaiian Islands with the United States
and with other countries remain I'M

provide. The consuls of Hawaii here and

tanning to trade and the revenue. 1t
would be desirable that all foreign con-
suls in the Hawaiian islands should re-
ceive new exequaturs from this govern
ment.
New Maritime Policy.
The annexation of Hawaii and the
changed relations Of the United States to
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines re-
sulting from the war, compel the prompt
adoption of maritime policy by frequent
steamship communication encouraged by
the United states, under the American flag
with the newly acquired islands. Spain
furnished to its colonies, at an annual cost
Of about 100000, steamship lines COM
municating with a portion Of the world
markets as well as with trade centers Of
the home government. The United States
will not undertake to do less. It is our
duty to furnish the people of Hawaii with
facilities. under national control, for their
export and import trade. 1t will be con-
ceded that the present situation calls for
legislation which shall be prompt. dur.
able and liberal.

OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS.
Aside From Spain We Have Had No
Serious Differences With Other.
Nations.

With the exception of the rupture with
Spain. the intercourse of the United States
with the great family Of nations has been
marked with cordiality, and the close OF
the eventful year finds most of the issues
that necessarily arise in the complex rela-
lions Of sovereign states adjusted or pre-
senting no serious obstacles to adjust
ment and honorable solution by amicable
agreement.
A long-unsettled dispute as to the ex-
tended boundary between the Argentine
republic and Chile, stretching along the
Andean crests, from the southern bor-
der of the Atacama desert to the Magel-
Ian straits, nearly third Of the length
of the South American continent, as
sumed an acute stage In the early part
OF the year and afforded this government
