THE VENEZUELAN CRISIS.

The opera bouffe war between Hol-
land and Venezuela pales into insig-
n~ifcence, so far as its effect upon the
future of Castro and his country is
concerned, when compared with the
disturbed condition of the internal af-
fairs of Venezuela, which have culmi-
mated in an open demonstration of
hostility against Castro and his lieu
tenants. The issue between Holland
and Venezuela has now reached a
phase which will probably secure ad-
justment soon, even il the United
States should be compelled to hasten
it, but the home revolt against Cas-
tro's dictatorship is a problem he must
solve without outside aid or interior
ence, and just now the cards appear
to be running strongly against him.
Holland has lent strong encourage
ment to the insurrectionary movement
by declaring that its trouble is not
with Venezuela, but with Castro. OF
course. an attempt to discipline Castro
would injure Venezuela and the oppo-
nents of Castro at home have taken
advantage of this hint to arouse popu-
lar prejudice against 1.-THE wasp of the
Andes" now sojourning in Europe.
Viewed from any light, Castro's posi-
tion is unfortunate. Had he placed
a strong man in charge of the govern
ment when he started for Europe he
would have invited, in keeping with
the history of Latin-American nations,
an attempt OF his understudy to as
sumo the stellar role. He accepted
the alternative of placing Vice Presi-
dent Gomez in charge-admittedly a
political lightweight whose inefficiency
has encouraged the opponents of Cas-
tro to make the dictator's return to
Venezuela impossible. Holland has
allowed the insurgents against Castro
to use the Dutch island of Curacao as
a headquarters and the revolt has as
sumed the form of a violent outbreak
against the ruling powers in Venezu-
ella. Castro's lottery building, HIS
newspaper and even the business
houses of his friends have been de-
Estroyed and his pictures burned in the
public parks.
Encouragement is lent to the insur-
gents by the representation that the

NEED OF ARMY OFFICERS.
Various Commands short Nearly One
Fifth of Proper Number
New York Sun =

Various Commands short Nearly One-
Fifth of Proper Number.
New York Sun"
In his annual report the secretary of
war comments on the need of an increase
in the number of commissioned officers in
the regular army. For its proper COM
mand and discipline an infantry or cavalry
regiment requires one colonel, one lieu
tenant colonel, three majors and fifteen
captains, first lieutenants and second lieu
tenants. Then there Is the field artillery
and the coast artillery, the engineer corps
and the signal corps, and the various de-
partments, ordnance, transportation, sub
~sistence and medical. The staff officers are
as necessary as the field officers, and ex-
perience in the line is an almost indis-
p~ensable training for service on the staff.
The authorized strength of the commits
stoned force is 4,27S officers. Out of that
number Secretary Wright reports COL on de-
tached service and 157 absent on leave or
on account of sickness. AS draft for de-
tached service is made from the line, It is
evident that the various commands are
short nearly one-fifth of their proper num-
Der of officers. This detached service en-
braces assignments to the general staff,
recruiting duty, the military academy and
the various schools at Leavenworth, Fort
hAOnIOe' rOTl fNlley anu elbSWneTS. II IN
cludes military attaches, the Instructors at
state educational institutions and the
Panama canal detail. The effect of. these
assignments may be illustrated by a recent
regimental report taken at random from
the files. OF the First infantry. stationed
at Vancouver, the colonel, the lieutenant
colonel, one major and eight captains out
of the required twelve are absent. There
are also many vacancies among the lieu
tenants. OF 40 companies of coast ar
tillery only thirteen have their full num-
Der of officers. The line suffers serious
loss by reason of the necessary draft on it.
The call for an addition to the commits /,
stoned force is old, and each year of delay
makes the situation worse. TIL country
is generally, and doubtless properly, OPP
posed to a large standing army. but such
force as it has should be complete and
equipped for such demands as may at any
time be made on 1t. Anything short of
hat is a dangerous negligence.
