their very nature are difficult OF en-
forcement. the danger being lest they
be obeyed only By the honest and dis
obeyed by the INSCRIPTIONS. so as 10
act only as a peualty upon honest men.
Moreover. no such law would hamper
an unscrupulous man Of unlimited
means from buying his own way into

This Army.
The president recommends legisla- |
ton to increase the number Of officers
In the army, especially in the medical I
corps. The rate OF pay Of officers
should be greatly increased, he de- I
clarcs. There should be q relatively
even greater increase in the rate Of
pay Of enlisted men If we are to keep
the army in shape to be effective IN
time Of need. The president recUn
mends severe examination Of ofiG1rs
for promotion up to the rank Of malar.
From that point promotion should be
purely by selection. He speaks Of the
recent physical test OF army officers
with emphatic appreciation and recon- !
mends bin equaIizing the pay OF .
officers and men Of the army, navy, 9
marine corps and revenue cutter serv-

The Navy.
Concerning the navy the president
says:
In my Judgment, we should this
rear provide for four battleships. But
It is idle to build battleships anless, in
addition to providing the men and the
means for thorough training, we pro-
vide the auxlliaries for them-unless .
we provide docks. the coaling stations
