Surgeon General Sternberg points out the
weakness and the needs of the medical de-

officers available for duty with troops in

corps. This deficiency in regular medical

1t is probable that whatever policy the
United States may adopt in regard to col
onial possessions, either to the acquisi-
ton or the government of territory. there
will be a material increase in the regular
army and a reorganization of its staff on
modern lines. One of the lessons of the re-
cent war is that in time of peace we must
prepare for war. Thanks to the skill and
yalor of officers and men in both the army
and navy the war ended in the complete
triumph of our arms, but the state of I'M
preparedness in which it found US was a
source of great danger and the cause Of
much friction, expense and suffering. The
value of regular army, composed of
drilled and seasoned troops, which can be
quickly modified, has been so thoroughly
demonstrated that the country will prob
ably be quite willing to see it increased. We
should not, of course, try to initiate any Of
the European powers in this respect, but
our army should be maintained at a point
that will make 1T a safe reliance under all
circumstances, as the nucleus of an ade-
quate fighting force in case of war. AS a
peace establishment it will be necessary to
be prepared for the possibility of Indian up
risings, the seacoast Notifications must be
garrisoned with at least skeleton forces, and
there must be enough troops at different
points in the country to sustain the civil
authorities in the event of instruction
Looking further away Hawaii, the mid
ocean bulwark for the Pacific coast, will
require a permanent garrison; Porto Rico
guarding the approach to the Nicaraguan
canal, will require a garrison commensurate
with it's strategic Importance, and we shall
have to keep troops in Cuba for some time
to come. If we take possession of the Phil
ippines large force may be required there
permanently. regular army of $4,000 to
100000 men would not be too large to meet
all these demands, and that would still be
small preparation for war

When Senator Frye thought of declining
a place on the Paris peace commission he
gave as one reason that he could not go
alone, and as his wife was such a poor
sailor that she would never cross the ocean
again. When Mrs Frye heard of this she
promptly informed her husband that if he
had no better reason for declining the prof
fered honor than her seasickness he had
better accep. it at once. And he did. Yet

President Mckinley has done another gra-

he has addressed letters to the families of

entitled to a pension, but the appointment
