In an interview published elsewhere In The
Tribune this morning General Grant advocates
more military man9uvres of national scope
He says there should be a big war game every
other year, in which regulars and militia might
participate. The general also believes that in
the intervening years the national guard or
CARNATIONS of various states, together with
troops from nearby army posts. should engage
in number of smaller sham battles
Among national guardsmen there appears to
be wide divergence Of opinion concerning Cen
eral Grants recommendations. Many are out
spoken in opposing the plan of combining the
militia with the regular army in big evolutions
They favor, instead smaller encampments and
less arduous campaigning. They prefer inter
state gatherings of troops to national mobiliza-
tons, and say that the militia enter such a war
game was played in 1904 at Manassas unfit
for its hardships. AS the men come from
offices and shops, and drill only once a week
in armories, they have little preparation to
carry heavy kits or make forced marches In
case of actual war, national guard officers
say, their men would not be rushed to the firing
line with such haste. They would instead be
put into camp where by degrees they could
harden themselves for the severe tasks of the
field.
Army officers on the other hand argue that
big manGuvres are indispensable if nation de-
sires to be prepared for war; that they train
officers to handle great bodies of men and drill
soldiers In the tactics of actual warfare.

POLAND AND THE DONNA

Despite the furious attempts at revolution
there and the severe measures of repression
Which have been imposed, it seems assured that
Poland WILL on the whole, pursue the course
which as We have hitherto argued seems the
logical and practical one. namely that of recog-
nizing Polish Incorporation with Russia as an
accomplished and irreyocable fact and of thus
participating In the enfranchisement which is
being granted to the whole empire and making
the best of it. little time ago there were
those who insisted strongly upon holding out for
complete separation from Russia and the re-
establishment of the independent kingdom of
Poland-just as Finland has been rehabiltated
in its former independence. To that end it was
urged that the Poles should take no part in the
election of q Russian national assembly but
should ignore the whole business. But wiser
counsels than these now happily seem to
prevail.
The Polish Nationalist party has decided not
only TO participate in the elections for the
douma, but to do so with earnestness and
energy. Its plan is TO send if possible. a strong
and solid Nationalist delegation to the DONNA
which will be able TO impress that body and to-
exercise an effective influence IN behalf OF Polish
interests. In seeking this end the Nationalists
are contending against the Russian party on the
one hand and against the Socialists on the other.
and In the triangular contest their PROSPECTS Of
success are good. The Polish delegation will
scarcely be solidly Nationalist, but il will proh
ably have an overwhelming ajority from that
party.
Poland will send thirty-six delegates to the
douma OF these two will be from Warsaw
and one from LODI In Warsaw there are about
one hundred thousand voters. They will choose
eighty eIe tors. and these latter will elect the
two members Of the douma Ono OF them will

of our rural population could be vastly in
creased and its intelligence raised. The prob
lem is complicated by lack of labor. but when
new methods increase the profits of farming,
the farmer can better compete in the labor mar
ket. Moreover, wise cooperation to use eX-
pensve labor saving machinery can make pos
sible the intensive farming of Europe on the
larger scale of our farms. Our Educational De-
partment sends out lecturers to rural dlstrlcts

Although New York's rural population is near
ly stationary its farms are rich and its mar
kets ample and all that is needed for a great
increase in its prosperity is the bringing OF
the industrial art of the school and the expert
ment station into the practical possession and
use of those now engaged in the agricultural
industry. If a discovery is made In electricity
