THE ARMY.
More Officers Are Needed to Perform
the Regular Work.


Within the last three years the United
States has set an example In disaTTnA-
ment where disarmament was proper.
BY law our army is Fixed az q maximum
OF 10000 and a minimum of 6O.ooo men
When there was iHsuFrection In the Phil
tpptnes we kept the army at the maxi
mum Peace came In the Philippines.
and now our army has been reduced 20
the minimum at which Il Is possible to
keep II with due regard TO Its efficiency.
The guns now mounted require 8. 00
men. II the coast fortincations are TO be
adequately manned. Relatively to the ma
ton. II Is not now 50 large as the police
force OF New York or Chicago relatively
20 the population Of either city.
We need more officers: there are not
enough TO perform the regular army
work. II Is very important that the Of
ficeFs OF the army should De accustomed
TO handle their men in masses, as Il Is
also important that the national guard OF
the several states should be accustomed
TO actual aeld maneuvering. especially in
connection with the regulars.
For this reason we are to be eongratu-
lated upon the success OF the Geld una

and national guard took part than was
ever before assembled together In tiuie

Time Has Not Yet Arrived TO Grant

Independence.
In the Philippine islands there has
been during the past year q continue

some elements which We have a right
TO hope stand for progress At present
they are utterly incapable OF existing
in Independence at all or OF building

them to rise higher and higher In the

hope that In the end they Will be able

plets Independence for which they are
as yet totally UNFIT.
on the other hand our people must
keep steadily before their minds the
/ fact that the Justification for our stay
/ in the Philippines must ultimately rest
lchieny upon the good we are able TO
do in the Islands. I do not overlook
the fact that In the development OF our
Interests in the Pacihc ocean and along
its coasts the Philippines have played
and will play an important part. and
that our interests have been served In
more than one way BY the possession
Of the Islands.
Chief Reason for Holding Islands.

Lessons Of War in Orient.
The war which now unfortunately

naval warfare. The lessons taught are
/ both strategic and tactical. and are po-
Iiticai as well as military. The eZps-

elusive fashion that while eea going and
