Grant. speaking at banquet of the.
st. Andrews Society here last night,
called attention TO the remarkably
small army OF the United States. He
said it would be of no use at all for
aggressive warfare.
"onr navy and army should be class
ed together in that they must work TO-
eether i'll the event OF war; said he.
They would be OF use only for de
4fensive purposes because of their small
numbers However, We do not care 10
embark on any aggressive warfare.
In the present day battles our sal
yation is found III the fact that we do
not need such large numbers of sol

they can hold off an army of almost
amy size. In fact, the greater the num-
bers OF the opposing army the greater
the difficulty in approaching the small
