and every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad

-HE United States Is to have an
army Of $4,000 men. But II
will not be a standing army.
That is to say, 1t will not be
romposed altogether of regulars draw

the treasury of the United States.
Yet it will be an army of trained sol
diers upon whom the people Of the

plans of the war department, the ma
tional guard troops will be added to
this force to make an army Of a quar-
ter of a million men A scheme OF
reorganization is being worked out I'M
der the direction Of General Robert
Shaw Oliver, assistant secretary OF
war. which will eventually bring the
state troops practically under the dl-
rection of the president In case Of an
emergency arising necessitating their
immediate call to action. Ten years
ago. when wal with Spain was de-
clared, the regiments of militia In en-
tering the United States service were
completely recognized and enlisted as
United States volunteer regiments.
This process took much time. and the
wal did a good service in revealing
the weakness of the military system
then in vogue. Since then new laws
have gone into effect which put the
land fighting forces Of the country on
quite a different basis.
1t was the Dick law of 1908 which
put the regular troops and the militia
into direct relations. 1t provided that
the organized militia of the several
states should receive financial assist
ance from the United States provided
It conformed In its organization to
certain prescribed forms and that the
men in enlisting obligate themselves
to be subject at any time to the call OF
the president, through the governors OF
the states, and be ready to go into bat
tie at any time either I'm the United
States or outside the country. The
sum Of $4,000, 900 was at first appro-
priated annually for this purpose. but

-OR the first time the Uhi;eS
States government is engaged
in actual tests with a view to-
ward establishing an aerostatic
corps in the army. The balloon and
airship tests begun at Fort Myer, Va,
possibly may lead to this Interesting
innovation. Several types Of aerial
fiiers are to be tested, including the
dirigible balloons commonly called air
ships and the heavier than air ma
chimes of the aeroplane type captain
Thomas A. Baldwin of California is n
of the conspicuous dirigible balloon
makers, while the Wright brothers OF
Ohio are world famous as the invent
ors of a type of aeroplane that actual
~ ules. Captain Baldwin has BUZZ
one of the dirigibles TO be tested al
Fort Myer. Several other balloon con-
tracts were let by the government.
This is not a competition or race at
Fort Myer, but is a series of tests TO
ascertain II the machines built under
contract come up to the specifications.
Just as navy vessels have their speed
trial tests. The air machines must be
able to travel five miles and back.
President Roosevelt Is said to be
deeply interested in these experiments.
His speech at the Naval War college
contained the declaration that those
who want a navy merely for coast de-

There are army and navy men, 1t is
said, who believe that airships will
prove in time to be superior TO fortif-
cations as coast defenses. Therefore
the Fort Myer tests have a distinct
bearing upon cosst defense.
"In the next wal that is fought the
advance column will be made up of
balloons and airships." recently re-
marked an army officer at Washing

also a bearing upon future army opera

Two years from now we expect to

Our plan is to establish eight grea,

throughout the country. At these
camps we will assemble all regular

There are no longer any militia
men," continued the general, with a
smile. "They are all United States
volunteers. In the event OF wal they

requirements it is confidently expected
by those who favor the innovation that
the next session of congress will ap-
propriate at least $l,000.000 for pre-
liminary expenses in establishing an
~aerostatic branch in our fighting serv-
ice. Sanguine advocates of the aerial
fleet go so far as to predict an APP
preparation of $5.O00.000. 1t is said
that in order properly to equip an air
travelling fleet adequate to cope with
situations such as President Roosevelt
suggests in his hard hitting navy
speech twice that sun will be required.
However, 100000 is merely about
the cost of one battleship of the pres
ent approved type. Air battleships are
comparatively cheap.
Army and navy authorities are begin

paratively successful experiments of
other nations with air vessels. 1t Is
agreed thai the United States has kept
behind In this matter, while several or
the nations of Europe have taken the

years past many investors have offered
their creations to Uncle Sam at speci-
ned sums. usually very large. while as
a rule the air craft presented have not
been able to perform what their u
