Our Army Is Small.

In tho sense in which the term Is
used in Europe. this country has no
military reserve. The two military
forces recognized by law and custom
are the regular army and the militia
Tho regular army is n comparatively
small force. Taking into consideration
its size. population and position among
nations. this country has the smallest
standing army in tho world. For many
years preceding the war with Spain
our regular army numbered only about
$4,000 men. With the outbreak Of hos
tilitics with Spain came very large
increase. After the close Of the con-
flict, however, there was n steady, radi-
cal reduction. until the American
standing army to-day numbers only
abou. 10000 men. or these, about one
fourth, or in the ncighborhood OF To-
600, are in the Philippines. A small
force is maintained in Alaska. and
still smaller in Hawaii. leaving, in
round numbers, 10000 soldiers OF the
regular army in this country, or an in
crease OF only about $4,000 since the
days preceding the conflict with Spain.

The Philadelphia kidnapping Case.

Sincere apologies are due to Charles Muth
of Philadelphia. for the suspicion that he
faxed a kidnapping of his young son. Close
upon the heels of the announcement made
in that city that the police had been called
of from the case because of the discovery
that the boy had not been actually stolen,
and that a domestic quarrel was at the
bottom of the affair. comes the word that
the child has been recovered and his captor
arrested. The proclamation of police dis
gust and the abandonment of the case was
a r,lse to deceive the kidnaper. The father
consented to be held up to public scorn in
cretly. He took long chances on being re-
warded by the recovery OF his boy. The
device might have failed and he would then
have been regarded always as faker and
a mischief maker. Fortunately, the alb
ductor was taken and the child Is now I'm
his mothers arms. and all Philadelphia re-
joices with the parents and blames itself
for its suspicious. SO artfuliy fostered by
the father and the police.
This case dscloses a revolving depth of
human depravity. The kidnaper was once
a man of position and means. but dissipa-
ton. speculation and raca-track gambling
had brought him down in the financial
scale. until he had become collector for q
real estate agent. He was dishonest In that
capacity and stole his employers funds and
became involved in an intrigue despite the
fact that he had family. Finally, having
