Governing Canal Zone.

Secretary Stimson recommends that the
permanent organization to operate the
Panama canal be established on a strict
ly business basis and not with the idea of
uplifting or governing a dependent people.
The question of tolls. he believes, should
be left to the determination of the Presi-
dent. American shipping should be
granted practically free use OF the canal.
The Interstate commerce commission
should extend its jurisdiction over the
new transcontinental route through the
waterway and regulate rates, thus pre-
venting the great railway interests from
exercising control

ment will receive its proper share OF the

methods of work. Personally,
should strongly oppose any system which
would increase the efficiency of produc-
ton without sharing the results equitably

Army Posts Extravagant.

The army posts as at present located
are said to he wholly unfit and to lead
10 great extravaganza They We're orig
inally located in many cases with ref
erence to possible Indian troubles and
few of them are in positions suited to
meet the strategic needs Of national
action or defense The average number
of companies to each of the fOrty-nne
posts is only nine.
In short" says the Secretary, I'VE
have scattered our army over the cOun-
try as if it We're merely groups of local
constabulary instead of national or
ganiZation. The result is an army which
lis extraordinarily expensive to main
tain and one whose efficiency for the
main purpose of its existence has been
nullified far as geographical location
Can nuilify it 1t is true that the small
units into which it has thus been sub
divided have as a whole maintained eff
tcfency to a remarkable extent. =
But for the remote contingency by which
a national army must be always judged
namely, the contingency of Il war with Il
tirst-class power, the army is practically
unprepared."
Calling attention to the fact that up
ward of S94.UOU,0OO has been spent on
existing army posts and that the profit
which each post furnishes to neighbor-
ing communities causes strong local
pressure against any change in loca-
ton, the Secretary says that neverthe-
less steps have been taken to correct
as far as possible these faults of Or

NEED OF A RESERVE FORCE

Secretary of War Stimson in his an
nual report says the United States
Army is unnecessarily expensive and
that ii is unprepared for war with a
first-class power. lie attributes this
largely to the fact that the army is
scattered over the country in too
many posts and to a lack of reserves.
The army on the peace footing habitu-
ally maintained. with miniature compa-
MES and troops he characterizes as in
effective for any serious war service.
As to the unpreparedneSS of the
army in artillery and ammunition.
Secretary Stimson says that "at the
present rate of appropriation 1t is es-
timated that it would take more than
fifty years TO secure a reasonable sup
ply of field artillery gums. carriages
and ammunition that would be neceS-
Sary in the event of war.
The Secretary says that at q conserv-
ativc estimate the expense per effect
is between two and five times as much as
any firSt-cldsS power on the continent
of Europe. This comparison is made
after excluding from consideration the
higher pay and better subsistence that
American soldiers receive. This fact
is given as an Illustration of the eX-
travagance of the existing system of
wide distribution of the army.

Take Cavalry South.

1t is also in contemplation to remove
the cavalry situated i'll the far northern
posts to the southwark substituting in
fantry for them. Tile Texas maneuvers
have shown the admirable adaptation of
the southwestern states for cavalry train
ing and drill at all seasons, whereas in
the far north for many months in the
year it is impossible to drill out of doors.
The Secretary says the body of highly
polished soldiers with which Frederick
the Great conducted his campaigns has
no place in modern society or modern
war. Therefore he disapproves of the
long term of enlistment and favors the
shortening of the present term to less
than three years, as to allow as many
men possible to go through the train
ing of the regular army, while retaining
some hold over the discharged soldier by
which he can be called to the colOrs in
case of war.
The army on the peace footing in
which we habitually maintain it, with it's
miniature companies and troops the
Secretary continues, lis Ineffective for
any serious war service. Not only this,
but the losses which are certain TO take
place during the first six months of OPP
Grafton will amount to a very large per-
centage of the army strength.
