taken out in September 1896. and de-

citizen of the United States. He has
been in this country for six years and

son TO believe that the same difficulties
will arise In his case as in that of the
Taunton man.

A LITTLE ARMY HISTORY.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
little more than thirty years ago the
general of the United States armies was
in command Of a million Of mon. no king
known to the world had ever been at the
head of such an overpOwering fighting
force. There had been nothing like ii in
the legends Of NerXcs Of kublai Khan.
The glitter from the bayonctS in the great
review, when the army collected about
Washington marched for two days past
the white house, would have lit the city of
Washington. The Russian czar or tho
German emperor has never seen the like.
A few months later that enormous mill
tary organization, having accomplished
its purpose, was dissolved. Even the
higher grades of command were kept up
only long enough to do honor to the most
distinguished Of the surviving generals.
The army sank almost at once to a
mcagre force of 2j,OOO men, led by ma
jOr general. The country which had cX-
perionced the very greatest of all wars
ended ii with it's republican sentiment
undiminished in the faintest degree Yet
the cry Of "militarism" is raised in op-
position to the enlargement of our army
from 5000 mon to 100000, to meet the un-
precedented duties lett to us by victory in
a war with a foreigner. 1t sounds as
though one part of the army bins Oppo-
mcnts must have been born yesterday and
tho other must be as ignorant as Philip

current efforts for better control OF the

The proposition OF the military COM
mittee OF the senate to increase by 100
the number Of West Point cadets is
dictated by the necessity for provid-
ing our enlarged army with more sub
aitcrn officers. There are now S67 ca
dets; if the proposed increase shall
prevail there will be 467, of whom prob
ably 400 at graduation will on an aver
age be eligible and available for SER
vice as second lieutenants. This will
not fill all the vacancies occurring in
an army organized as proposed by the
Hull bill, but it will give a working
basis and the remaining vacancies can
be filled by the promotion OF non-com-
missioned officers upon examination.
The extra cost will be a trife over
half million dollars a year, but it
is clearly justified by the demands of
the service.
