AGAIN ADVANCING IN FORCE.
Gen. Roberts Once More Healing
Toward Pretoria.

London, May %, 2:o6 p. m.-0Dee
more Lord Roberts is advancing in
force. The wait at Kroonstad is over.
and already the main British army is
about twenty miles north of its former
resting place, judging from the dis
patches of Lord Roberts at Honings
Spruit station, while fanking him on
either side of the railroad is Gen.
French's cavalry and Gen. Ian Hamil-
toms mounted infantry both slightly
in advance of Lord Roberts and threat
ening to envelope the Boer position,
which extends for 20 miles due north.
Advance Along the Railroad.
Gen. French probably crossed the
Rhenoster river near the junction with
the Honing Spruit, which runs thence
TO Honing Spruit station. The main
British army will probably advance
along the railroad, while Gen.
French converges from the west, and
Gen. Hamilton from tie east. Against
this overwhelming force the Beers
will probably follow their usual tao
tics of retiring to positions, which
doubtless have been prepared in ad-
vance for their occupation.
Gen. French and Gen. Hamilton are

THE BoGY OF MIL1TARIsM.
Baltimore Herald.


When the Kansas City platform makers de-
clared imperialism to be the paramount issue"
the question of militarism became associated
with it as natural corollary. strong army
has always been connected with the exercise of
despotic power. and to the public mind the two
seem synonymous.
Under representive form of government it
is, of course, impossible for the Executive to
assume autocratic functions except with the
consent of the majority, and it would have
been bad politics for the partisans of the Ne
braskan to assert that the people are leagued
with Mr.. Mckinley in his imperiaistic designs.
Some extraneous conception, foreign to the
spirit OF the American people, had to be con-
Jured up as bogy, in the hope that fear would
accomplish what could never be expected of
intelligence. Thus the issue of militarism took
shape.
All thinking people will ask themselves
whether our army has really assumed such large
proportions as to make it menace to our po-
litica liberties. granting. for the sake of argu-
ment, that the American soldier has become so
estranged from republican institutions as to
favor imperialistic policies. The answer must
be emphatically in the negative. The standing
army of the United States, not counting the
$1,000 volunteers who must be discharged next
year under the law, is 1000 in round numbers,
as against 10000 in 1SO8-I2, 1900 in 1920 5000 in
1880, 105OO in 1910, 1853 in 1850 1885, in $780, 81
0I5 in 1870 26509 in 1880, and 27,OS9 in 1890 Dur
ing the period covered by these figures the
population has advanced from 7,239S8l to ap-
proximately 100000.
Consequently, while the army is somewhat
over six times as large as it was at the end of
the first decade in the nineteenth century, the
population has multiplied more than ten times.
In other words, the proportion of soldiers to
population has actually decreased. At the be-
ginning of the century we had one soldier for
every 724 inhabitants. while now there is only
one for every 1,015. In per capita and national
wealth we occupy an incomparably higher
position and our gains in territory have been
correspondingy large.
Even if the army were allowed to remain
permanently at the present figure including
the volunteers. it could not be accounted large.
Contrasted with the legions of the military
nations of Europe it appears insignifcantly
small.
