Should Move Onward.


 "The effort should be to move onward to q higher development If orr military forces, and to Yard aga 'nst t. lapse of feeling and indfference .o these highly important necessities. To utilize the great military resources of our country in men and material, and to direct this concentrated strength in the most use- ful channels is the military problem which confronts us today The recent organization of general staff for the army has done more to promote the ef- ficiency of the defense of our country than any other single act of legislation which the wisdom of congress has pro- vided."
 Rear Admiral Sigsbee spoke on the ne- cessty for an efficient navy. He said:
 The most difficult problem that the navy has to solve at the present time is in respect to her personnel. We find it well nigh impracticable to enlist. train and keep enough men for the needs of the service. Time and experience will serve the problem, but 1t must be admitted that the solution Is yet hardly in sight For merly the British navy suffered from de- sertions and from other troubles that we now have, but Great Britain overcame the difficulties by schemes which elevated the enlisted man, both socially and fnan- cially above the position which he would have occupied had he held to a career on shore.
 Shore Career Inviting.
 With us at present the shore career offers the greatest promise. When we shall have found ways and means to re- verse these conditions, the problem of enlisted personnel will have been solved. We are coming to 1t. although slowly.
 "The idea of International arbitration has come into special prominence in re- cent times, but the fact remains that it's employment. thus far, has been limited to those cases where neither of the na- tions interested has considered the issues involved worth the risks and expense of war.
 The conclusion which logically follows, is that under conditions now obtaining. war Is inevitable of occurrence, and our experience in common with other nations has shown that the best way to avoid war is to be prepared to defend ones rights and lnterests.'
