ARMY EFFICIENCY REQUISITE.

the event of hostllties with any serious roe
even a small army corps could be handled TO
advantage. Both officers and enlisted men
such that can take hearty pride In
them No better material can be found But
they must be thoroughly trained. both as indt-
viduals and in the mass. The craftsmanship
of the men must receive special attention In
the circumstances of modern warfare the man
must act far more his own individual re-
sponsihllity than ever before and the high indi-
vidual efficiency of the unit is of the utmost
Importance. Formerly this unit the regi

Every effort must be made to develop every

passing bill providing for a general staff and
for the reorganization of the supply depart
ments on the lines of the bill proposed by the
Secretary of War last year. When the young
officers enter the army from West Point they
probably stand above their compeers in any
other military service Every effort should be
made, by training by reward of merit by
scrutiny into their careers and capacity. to keep
them of the same high relative excellence
throughout thelr careers
The measure providing for the reorganiza-

THE PACIFIC CABLE.

During the fall of 1901 communication was
addressed to the Secretary of State asking
whether permission would he granted by the
President to a corporation to lay a cable from
a point on the California coast TO the Philippine
Islands by way of Hawaii. A statement of con-
ditions or terms upon which such corporation
would undertake to lay and operate cable was
volunteered.
Inasmuch as the Congress was shortly TO con-
yene. and Pacific cable legislation had been the
subject of consideration by the Congress for
several years, it seemed to me wise to defer
action upon the application until the Congress
had first an opportunity TO act The Congress
adjourned without taking any action leaving
the matter in exactly the same condition in
which IL stood when the Congress convened.
Meanwhile it appears that the Commercial
Pacific Gable Company had promptly proceeded
with preparations for laying its cable. 1t also
made application to the President for access to
and of soundings taken by the u s. S
Nero for the purpose of discovering practica
Bile route for transpacific cable, the company
urging that with to these soundings 1t
could complete It's cable much sooner than il IL
were required to take soundings upon its own
account. Pending consideration of this subject,
it appeared important and desirable to attach
certain conditions to the permission to examine
and use the soundings IL 1t should be granted.

THE NAVAL .U4NEETRES.

For the first time in history naval manCeI-
vreS on a large scale are being held under the
immediate command of the Admiral of the
Navy. Constantly increasing attention is being
paid to the gunnery of the navy. but il is yet
far from what il should be. I earnestly urge
that the increase asked for by the Secretary of
the Navy in the appropriation for improving
the craftsmanship be granted. In battle the
only shots that count are the shots that hit. 1t
is necessary TO provide ample funds for practice
with the great guns in time of peace. These
funds must provide not only for the purchase
of projectiles. but for allowances for prizes to
encourage the gun crews. and especially the
gun pointers. and for perfecting an intelligent

An ELASTIC .NONETiRY SISTEN,

Interest rates are potent factor IN business
activity, and in order that these rates may be
equaliZed to meet the varying needs of the sea
and of widely separated communities, and
to prevent the recurrence of financial strin-
gencies which injuriously affect legitimate bust
ness. il is necessary that there should be
element of elasticity in our monetary system.
Banks the natural servants of commerce,
and upon them should be placed, as far prac-
ticable, the burden of furnishing and maintain
ing a circulation adequate to supply the needs
of our diversified industries and of domestic
and foreign commerce; and the issue of this
should be so regulated that d sufficient supply
should be always available for the business in
terests of the country
1t would be both unWise and unnecessary at
this time to attempt to reconstruct our financial
tury; but some additional legislation is. think.
desirable. The outline of any plan suf-
ciently comprehensive TO meet these require
ments would transgress the appropriate limits
of this communication. 1t is suggested, how
ever, that all future legislation the subject
should be with the view of encouraging the use
of such instrumentaiities will automatically
supply every legitimate demand of productive
industries and of commerce, not only in the
amount, but in the character of circulation and
of making all kinds of money interchangeable
and, at the will of the holder. convertible into
the established gold standard.
