Senator Lodge Says No Material
Reduction in the Philippines
Can BE Made Before 1903.
STRONG GARRISoNs NECESSARY
At the End of Four or Five Years,
He Says. the Force Might
BE Cut Down TO
10000 Men.

Washington, Jan. A notable speech
was delivered in the Senate to-day by MI
Lodge OF Massachusetts. Addressing 'ne
Senate on the amendment Of the Military
Committee striking out the provision IN 'he
army reorganization bill for veterinary
corps. he discussed briefly and principally
in the form OF a colloGuy with Senator
Bacon Of Georgia the Philippine question
and the necessity for an army OF 10000
men.
In conclusion he drew a brilliant word
picture II the commercial future or the
United States. declaring that the trade con-
fiict with Europe. already begun. could re-
suit only In the commercial and economic
supremacy OF this country over the entire
world. In this industrial conflict ne hp-
pretended no danger from a material con-
test with any naticn Of the "orfu- ne
urged the necessity for Il strong and sciHn-
tIfcally organized army and po~er
navy. in order that the United states
might b. prepared to defend Its rights
against any possible foe. The speech
created a profound impression
Discussing the general features or the
measure, Mr.. Lodge said he dld not t"hh
any American citizen honestly beieV 'u tndt
the libar;y Of the people was nenacHd by
an army Of IaO Oso As 10 the situation In
the Philippines. Mr.. Lodge maintained that
organized rebellion has ceased. ana the
LEGAL George Washington is In 1idinS-
in a short time said Mr.. Lodge
believe there Will be peace ana oruer
throughout the Philippines
He did not think. however. that ire
probability Of outbreaks among the Noros
and the uncivilized tribes of The Interior
ever would be eliminated.
Mr.. Bacon inquired how long Mr. Loige
thought large army might De needed In
the Philippines.
Mr.. Lodge believed that in a short umc.
there would be ,Srea.er peace
and order In the Islands than they bad
ever known.
After some sharp sparrtng, Mr.. Bacon
put this question to MIR. Lodge.
From your knowledge az chairman OF
the Philippine Committee of the conditions
in the islands, will the army Of $500 be
needed there for a short time or for an
indefinite timer
Mr.. Lodge: What is a short ;ime?'
Mr.. Bacon: Well, say two years"
My judgment Is" replied Mr.. lodge
that at the end of two years we VII be
able 10 reduce very largely the army in
the Philippines That is my belief. Spain
had an army OF l5O,O men and kept very
bad order"
And occupied little territoryT' inter-
jected 0ir. Bacon.
Yes. and occupied little territory" as
sented Mr.. Lodge
In his opinion at the end Of two years the
force in the Philippines could be reduced
and at the end of four OF five
Years the force probably could be reduced
safely to 1000 men.
