GEN. BATES DEPL0RES
WEAK MILITARY POLICY
Declares It Has Made Wars
Long and Has Cost Great
Loss of Life.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, October 13.-The lack
of definite military policy for the United
States and consequent loss of life and
treasure in all the nations wars was
decried by Gen. John c. Bates. L. S. A.,
commander-in-chief of the Military Order
of the Loyal Legion of the United States,
at the annual banquet of the COM
mandery -in-chief at the Midday Club last
night.
Gen. Bates responded to the toast THE
Army" Rear Admiral George w. Mel
willie, L. s. N, spoke to The Navy"
Our military policy has been termed
by military experts crime against life,
property and liberty declared Gen.
Bates. That ii is weak is evidenced by
the length of our wars and the enormous
and unnecessary loss of life and treasure
that has attended every conflict. For
every three years of peace we have one
year of war in nations history.
"One trouble is the popular fallacy that
as a nation We are invincible and that
our military resources are military
strength. We have great resources and
we have needed them. But these do
not mean military strength or skill Con-
scription is the best system of enlist
ment, but it Is impractical because OF
our national sentiment against forcing
men to serve in the army and navy

GEN. MURRAY SUGGESTS
BETTER COAST DEFENSE
Chief of Artillery Advocates In
creased Detail of
Troops.

Brig. Cen Arthur Murray, chief Of the
Coast Artillery, u. S. A., in his annual
report to the War Department on the eff
ficiency and personnel of the service.
strongly advocates an increased detail
Of artillery troops to man the coast de-
lenses OF this government.
1T is believed to be established beyond
dispute" said Gen. Murray. that in or
der to insure efficient handling of our
coast defenses in. time of war it is neces-
sary that we should maintain in time
of peace at least one full manning de-
tail of coast artillery troops.
All Officers Approve.
''This view has been. expressed re-
Deatedly not only by myself and my
predecessors as chief of artillery, but by
practically all general officers who have
commanded departments containing a
preponderance of coast artillery.
This view has also been expressed from
time to time by various Secretaries of
War and leading members of the military
committees of Congress. In fact, / think
IT Is quite safe to say that 1t is wholly
accepted by all who have an intimate
knowledge of the conditions and require
ments of our coast defenses

Flames were discovered in the general
