tained by the United States Is vastly insufficient. Not that our standing army of 25,000 men is too small. But our reserve force, the militia, is not kept up to the requirements of q great nation. The regular army and the militia do not harinonize. They should be encamped together and drilled together, so that if a call to arms was sounded the militia could be placed in the field and each would strengthen the other, making a strong moral army. In Germany the army is part of the education oi every able-bodied young man, unless he IS the only support of q family. They serve q term in the army just as Americans pay taxes. It is part of the requirements of n German citi- zen. The other nations of Europe all maintain strong armies.
 ''We boast of our American man hood, but if we are not disciplined in war we cannot maintain the respect of other nations. If we wish to com pei respect for the Monroe Doctrine and other principles enunciated by American sentiment, we must main tain an army that can command re- spect from foreign nations"

He also called attention to the inferior equipment of the Ameri- can army and militia as compared with foreign powers.
