THE Monroe doctrine says the presi-

In nowise intended as hostile to any ma,

than this to the honor and material well
fare and, above all, to the peace of our
ration in the future. Whether we de-
sire it or not we must henceforth recog-
nize that we have international duties no
less than international rights. There
should be no cessation in the work of
completing the navy"
The president concludes this portion OF
his message by pointing. out the require
ments Of the service and urging upon
congress to give the matter early con-
sideration.
President Roosevelt also gives the other
branch of the service considerable atten-
ton. No increase in the army beyond its
present size is needed at this time.
Various matters of Importance to the
army are considered at length and con-
gress is invited to give it's attention to
recommendation for Improvements in the
service.
