COL. SANGER'S BOOK
He Deals With the Military Problem AS
He Views It After An Inspection Of
EnsIand's Reserve Force and switz.
erland's Militia.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Three years
ago William Cary Sanger then inspect
or general of the New York national
guard, and now assistant secretary of
war, made thorough inspection of the
reserve and auxiliary forces of England
and the militia of Switzerland. The
Mckinley greatly desired it, there was
no appropriation available, and Col.
Sanger betrayed his own expenses. The
result of this investigation is embodied
in a report Just issued, which, it is
thought, will become text book for the
military student. Says the author:
"The story of the Spanish-American
war has much which Americans must
read with pain" And then he tells how
seriously the government was embar-
rassed in it's efforts to make use of its
cumbersome and refractory state mill
tia. If the state forces are maintained
with view to national defense in time
of need continues Sanger, there can
be no excuse for not deyising, in time
of peace, the best plan for utilizing their
services, and if it is admitted, as it must
be. that the army and state forces COM
bined will not be numerically strong
enough to carry on any great war, it is
our plain duty to decide in advance
what is the wisest and best plan for
expending our fighting force when such
action is necessary"
Having sounded this warning, Sam
ger proceeds to state in detail the re-
suit of his Investigations in England
and Switzerland, the former country
being chosen for inquiry because it re-
sembled us in having no system OF
COMPULSORY military service.

EXTRA SESSION
OF TIE SENATE
Unless Canal and Cuban Treat

Call Extra Session
HAS ANNOUNCED HIS PURPOSE
A Number of Senators Given to Under.
stand That the Two Treaties Should
Be Ratified at once-Grave Reasons
Of State Make It Necessary-Frisnds
Of Statehood Sill Have New Scheme

| Washington, Feb. 19. President
Roosevelt will call an extraordinary
session of the senate unless both the
Panama canal and the Cuban reci-
procity treaties are ratified at the pres
ent session. The president made a
declaration Of his intention to several
senators today and made it az en1-
lphatically and unequivocally as he is
capable of making it. It is deemed
likely by officials and many senator's
that both treaties will ne ratified be-
fore March 4. but. the necessity for
early ratification is regarded by the.
president as so urgent that in the event
of the failure of either one or both at
the present session he Will issue imme-
diately his call for an extra session. It
Is said there are grave reasons of state
why both treaties should be ratified as
soon as possible. There is a movement
among some friends Of the statehood
bill in the senate to couple portion
Of that measure with those of the PAM
cation of one depend upon the passage
OF the other. Details of the plan have
not come to light fully. but 1t Is UNDER
stood the scheme is to menace the
treaty by delay until an agreement to
vote on the statehood hill can be se-
cured.
None of the statehood supporters
will admit this purpose, hut one Of the
most prominent of them on the repub-
hcan side Of the chamber admitted
such is the tendency, Many statehood
advocates on both sides OF the chamber
say they will not allow Morgan to be
forced by test of physical endu.
TO complete his speech III opposition ~
the treaty before he is willing to con-
c!ude of his own accord. Rumor Of such
a purpose was current about the SEM
ate before the executive session began
merely as a rumor We're convinced tt
was without foundation in fact, when
instead of Morgan resuming his speech
soon after the executive session began
Quay addressed the chair and sent up
Z
some documents to be read, among
which was the constitution of Colom-
bia. He made no explanation, beyond
saying the documents would throw
light on the subject and that he
thought that especially "a this time the.
senate should be informed as to the
provisions of ths constitution Of the
country with which the United States
is doing business. This step on his
part was taken as notice that he meant I
&c assist in opposition to the treaty and
1t was then recalled that during yes
terday's executive session and while
Morgan was still speaking Quay had
suggested the absence of quorum.
