to our own hemisphere we find our southern
neighbors maintaining larger standing armies,
proportionately than we, Chili's ratio being one
in $50 and Brazil's one in $50. e.
So the fact is that with this increase of the
army this country remains by far least given to
'miltarism" of all important nations in the world
and, indeed, so much less given to it than the
least militant of all other comparable powers as
to be quite out of comparison with it. One soldier

ONE SOLDIER IN A THOUSAND.

THE reorganization of the United States
l. Army, with a strength of II ,2S7 enlisted
men, has this week been announced. We do
not venture to hope that it will altogether put
an end to the ridiculous chatter about militarsm.
There is nothing harder to suppress than folly.
Indeed, it may be that the announcement will
give certain stimulating fillpto that particular
kind of nonsense. The changes may he rung

But in comparison with that which represents
tho nopuation of this country it is insignificant.

"militarism' is that Compare, or rather contrast,
It with the ratio of army to population in other

in her standing army in time of peace one soldier

LADIES' HCME JOURNAL.

THERE is deep pathos in the picture by
W. L. Taylor, called "The Passing of the Farm,
which appears in the June issue of The Ladies
Home Journal. The bowed and sad-faced figure
of the lonely widow, standing with one hand on
the open door of the waiting coach while she
takes long last look at her Old home, makes
strong appeal to the feelings. The sad Novem-
Der sky, the distant misty hills, the closed house
the deserted barns, and above all, the detected
figure, bring lump into ones throat.
THE PILGRIM. ..s ..
THE Pilgrim for June opens with timely
article on that most characteristic of American
summer resorts, Atlantic City, by Julian Haw-
thorne, who in that connection makes plea for
a greater proportion of outdoor life in the rout-
inc of the Woodworking American. This note
finds echo elsewhere in the Pilgrim in a sugges-
tive article on ''Nelghborhood Golf Clubs" in a
brilliantly illustrated article on "Formal Gar
dening" by Prof. Wilhelm Miller Of Cornell
and in the editorials.
