WAR DEpAnTMEHT.
We Are Sadly In Need of More Off,
 fcers-pealg With Militia.

The war department has within it's Jurisdiction the management of the ar my and in connection herewith the coast defenses, the government of tue dependencies of the Philippines and of Porto Rico, the recommendation of plans for the Improvement of harbors and waterways and their execution when adopted and, by virtue of an ex- ecutive order, the supervision of the construction of the Panama canal
 The army of the United States is a small body compared with the total number sf people for the preservation of whose peace and good order it is q last recourse. The army now numbers about S0,O00 men, of whom about 1S,- GOO are engaged in the coast artillery and detailed to the management and use of the guns in the forts and bat teries that protect cur coasts. The rest of the army, or about 5000, is the mobile part of our national forces and is divided into thirty-one regiments of infantry, including the Porto Rican regiment, fifteen regiments of cavalry. six regiments of field artillery, corps of ordnance. of engineers and of sig nal, quartermaster's department, a commissary department and a medical corps.
 The general plan for an army of the United States at peace should be that of a skeleton organization with an ex- cess of trained officers and thus caps- bIe of rapid enlargement by enlist ments, to be supplemented in emer- gency by the national militia and volunteer force. In some measure this plan has been adopted in the very large proportion of cavalry and field artillery as compared with infantry in the present army and on a peace basis An infantry force can be trained in six months. cavalry or light artillery force not under one and half or two years: hence the importance of having ready a larger number of the more skilled soldiers
 The militia system, for which con. gress by the constitution is authorized to provide, was developed by the so called Dick law. under which inc dis-

near Honolulu. I urge that al ths estimates made by the war depart ment for these purposes be approved by congressional appropriation.
 Philippine Islands.
 During the last summer, at my re- quest, the secretary of war visited the Philippine Islands and has described his trip in his report. He found the islands in a state of tranquility and growing prosperity, due largely to the change in the tariff laws, which has opened the markets of America to ths products of the Philippines and has opened the Philippine markets to American manufactures.
 Porto Rico.
 The year has been one of prosperity and progress in Porto Rico. Certain political changes are embodied in the bill ito provide a civil governmenE for Porto Rico and for other pur- poses," which passed the house of rep resentatives on June 15, 1910, at the last session of congress and is now awaiting the action of the senate.
 The importance of those features of this bill relating to public health and sanitation cannot be overestimated.
 The removal from politics of the ju- dietary by providing for the appoint ment of the municipal judges is ex- cellent and l recommend that step further be taken by providing thereirs for the appointment of secretaries and marshals Of these courts.
 l believe that the provision in thts bill for a partially elective senate, thb number of elective members being progressively increased, is unwise and that the composition of the senate as provided in the bill as introduced in the house far better meets conditions existing in Porto Rico This is an inn portant measure, and I recommend it's early consideration and passage.
 Rivsrs and Earhora.
 1 have already expressed my opinion to congress in respect to the character of the river and harbor bills which should be enacted into law, and have exercised as much power as I have un- der the law in directing the chief of engineers to make bis repGzts to con- gress conform to the needs of the com mittee framing such 8 bill in deter4 mining which oH the proposed im- provements is the more important and ought to be completed first and promptly.

nsate9 shnIl be able when called upon by friendly nation to redeem it's solemn promise by treaty to secure to the citizens or subjects of that nation resident in the United States freedom from violence and due process of law in respect to their lins, liberty and property.
 I also anG for the same general req sons strongly commend to tho favora- ble action of the congress the enact ment of law applying to the dipio- Llatic and consular service the pyinci- ples embodied in section 1753 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, in the civil service act of Jan. 16, 1883. and the executive orders of June IT, 1906, and of Nov. 26, 1903.
 The excellent results which have at- tended the partial application of civil service principles to the diplomatic and consular services are an earnest of the benefit to be wrought to both branches of the foreign service. The marked improvement Tn the consular service during the four years since the prin-
  nlied to that service in q limited way and the good results already notice able from a sixnilaR application of civil service principles to the diplomatic service q year ago convince me that Ehe enacSnaHt Into law of the general principles of the existing executive reg nsations could nat fail to effect further improvement Of both branches of the foreign service, offering as ft would ny it's assurance of permanen ency Of tenure and promotion on merit an tn- ducenent for the entry of capable young men into the service and an in- centive to those already fn to put forth their best e1ferts to attain and main tsin that degree of efficiency which the interests Of our fnteHra t1onAi relations aud commerce demand
 During many years past appeals have been made from rfrue to time to con gross in favor of goverrm ment owner ship of embassy and legation premises abroad The arguments In favor of 5uch ownership have been many and oft repeated and are well known 10 the congress. The acquisition by the government of suitable residences and offices for it's diplomatic officers. espe- rially iu Gsla capitals os the Latin Amer lean states and of Europe, is so impor- sant and necessary to an improved diplomatic service that have no hesi- tation in urging upon the congress the passage of some measure similar to that fayOrabiv ral,orted by the house committee on foreign affairs on Feb. 1G, 1910 deport No 4Ss), that would authorize the gradual and annual &C., qUisition of premises for diplomatic Gse.
 The work of the diplomatic service is devoid of partisanship. Its importance shoald appeal to every American eiti- sen and should receive the generous consideration of the congress.
