condition. Have we actually mounted
and on suitable emplacements the
heavy guns and mortars that were
called for. by this system of defeuses
OF more than % years ago? Are the
guns that are already mounted actually
supplied with the necessary rounds of
ammunition to enable them to properly
perform the function expected of
them?
1t is said that many of these guns
either have no ammunition supply or
are not supplied with as much as ten
rounds a gun.
Experts say that Japan can put an
army Of two divisions at any point on
our Pacific coast in 25 days. 1t in
| d1cates that if we are to be prepared
TO lnterpose proper or efficient resis-
lance to the landing of an army corps
on our Pacific coast, we must have our
heavy guns on that coast actually sup
Piled with suitable number of rounds
a gun, or else be able to furnish such
ammunition inside of rs days.
we know an enemy will not wait
for this country to organize an army
for offensive purposes, as our accom-
modating enemy did in 1898.
AT that time the appropriation acts
made in anticipation of war were so
worded that no purchase of clothing,
tentage, commissary stores, or equip
/ ment and material for offensive war
could be made. This caused an unnec-
essary delay, but even had this cause
for delay not been present, it would
have been impossible to provide the
necessary supplies of this kind for i'm
mediate USE
AS a matter of fact, it would not
! be possible today to procure uniforms.
tentage and certain medical supplies
for an army of 100000 men within four
or six months either in our own mar
kets or in those of the world, and no
one supposes for a moment that an
army of that size will suffice for a
war or any magnitude for this coun-
try. On the contrary we will have
to organize, supply and equip an army
of not less than 100000 men, and it
is more than probable that this army
will reach two or three times that num-
Der.
1T will not be necessary to have a
reserve supply of all the articles men
toned for so large an army as 1,OOO,-
700 men, but we should not have less
than 100000 men in our first line of
defense, with a second line of reserves
of about the same number, and we
should have arms and clothing and
equipments for not less than 100000
men, with an additional supply of GER
tain arms and ammunition, as well as
few articles of uniform and equip
ment for a much larger number"
Regarding the use of the organized
militia of the States he said:
"A calculation recently made in this
connection revealed some startllng
facts. The idea was to prepare an
army for defense on the Pacific coast
to meet and repel a supposed attempt
to land an army at some point there.
AS this first line was to be immediate
ly available, there was no opportunity
for increasing the strength of either
the available regular forces in this
country or the militia.
"Of the former we have less than
10000 who can be used for active oper-
atoms in this country, the rest being
on duty garrisoning our outlying pos
sessions. OF the militia we have an
actual strength of 10000 men of all
arms, from which must been trans

The Monongahela was a relic of the
Civil War time, having been built in
1862 in time to take an active part in
the blockade of Mobile and the battle
of Port Hudson in 1868. She was pres
ent at the battle of Mobile Bay the fol-
lowing year and after the war was en-
ployed in cruising among the West In
dies, being wrecked once at Santa
Cruz. Following that episode her
machinery was removed, converting
her into a sailer. In 1889 she was sent
as storeship to Samoa with Admiral
Kimberley's squadron, arriving off Pa
go Page few days after the wrecking
of the Trenton, the Vandalia and the
Nipsic. She was next used as a train
ing school for naval cadets and later
again as a storeship on the Cuban
berth.

On to Quebec.

The broad character of the tercen-
tenary celebration at Quebec, to attend
which the Prince of Wales has now
started from England, makes it prob
able that a large number of Americans
interested in this important event will
soon jcarney north to the charming
old city on the st. Lawrence. In July,
ZOOS, Champlain, whose name is Perpet-
mated by the big New England border
lake, founded the town the site of
which his compatriot, Cartier, had Wis
tied more than half a century before.
As in Montreal, so in Quebec there is a
striking mixture of French and English
which, under favorable circumstances,
as in the present instance, can make
visit to this venerable city across the
line well worth the enterprise. A
three hundred year-old North American
city! Truly the new world is aging

An Interesting Experiment.

According to a dispatch from Omaha,
the Nebraska State Railway Employees
Protective Association will take an ac-
tive part in the Presidential campaign.
"After deciding which candidate for the
Presidency TO support, its officers will
try to persuade its members to vote as
unit for that candidate"
1t viii be an interesting experiment.
The organization, we are told, has a
membership of about 10000. Railroad
men, as a rule, are intelligent. They do
their own thinking, at least outside
working hours. Those of Nebraska are
as intelligent as the average.
The members of the association viii
undoubtedly be glad to learn the name
of the candidate who, the officers be-
lieve, should be elected. They will listen
with attention, presumably to such
reasons for electing him as may be
made public. After that it is fai: to
believe they will employ their own
reasoning powers, and do their own
voting. Any attempt to compel them
to follow the officers as a unit would
mean the disruption OF the organization.
That is as certain as the national cleo
ton.
Labor organizations, as a rule, follow
their leaders Loyalty and closely in all
labor matters. Sometimes it Is claimed
that an occasional leader takes unfair
advantage of such loyalty. Blu it is
hard to believe that any leader OF any
set of leaders can deliver the labor
vote" so called, to any candidate for
President, this year or any other year.
Members Of labor organizations vote
first of all as American citizens.
