BETTY VINCENT TALKS ON
QUARRELS and FORGIVENESS
Gracious Apology Demands
Gracious Forgiveness

My dear young people, be ready 20
forgive if you have quarreled with any
one and the o4ber- person has been in
the wrong.
Remember, it does not add to your
dignity to preserve a cold attitude
toward some one who has made mis-
take, but who IS willing to make
amends.
| am often surprised by the tone OF
some of the letters 1 receive from
young people asking me for advice.
For example, here is one which was IN
my mornings mail The girl who
writes it tells me:
4 am in love with young man and
l thought he cared for me. However,
We quarreled, and because | was some
what in the wrong and partly because
it hurt me too be on bad terms with
the young man I apologized for my
share of the quarrel most humbly, bat
he will not forgive me. Now, what
shall I do?"
wish l knew who the young man is,
| so l could give him a good talking to.
He ought to be ashamed of himself
When one person apologies the least
the other can do it to accept the apol-
'ogy with graciousness.

Big fight IS PROMISED
WITH BOOZE The ISSIIE
Court to Silt Beer Joints
Monday

Americas thrifty neighbor, Daw-
son, is in the midst of a ni-Beer storm
which broke in all its fury there re-
Gently when various saloons were
raided and the liquid contents seized
by citizens deputized as officers as
sisting the sheriff. A great stir in
the town was created at the time.
And the second round comes Monday
next, when Judge Wlorrill will take
up for hearing the petitions for iniunc-
ton recently instituted by a number
of we'll known citizens against the
near beer saloons for the purpose of
having them permanently closed as
being nuisances.
Temporary injunctons We're granted
about two weeks ago under which
these places of business were tempo
rarily closed, and all sales of near
beer enjoined until the further order
of the court.
There are six of these saloons in
this place and the proprietors are pre-
pairing to make vigorous defenses to
the pending court proceedings, and
several hundred witnesses are expect
ed to give evidence on the hearing Of
these cases.
This will prove the most notable con-
test in years, and the result is await
ed with interest. 1t is understood
that both sides had beer from each of
the saloons analysed by chemists, and
the plaintiffs will insist that under
the analysis furnished them this bev-
erage contained more than per cent.
alcohol
On the other hand, the defendants
are claiming that the analysis of the
beer which has been made by three
eminent chemists, for them, will show
that there is less thana 4 per cent. Of
alcohol in the same.

IF the United States Should Go toI
War" is the suggestive title Of an ar
ticle in the current number of The
Atlantic Monthly by Major John Bige-
low, Jr., retired, of the United States
Army. The author is a student and
writer on military affairs of recogniz-
ed authority, widely and accurately
informed, cautious and acute in judg-
ment.
In this article he sums up very clear
ly the actual military force at the COM
mand of the United States Government,
the numbers of the regular army and
the National Guard of the various
states, the means of modifying them,
of equipping them, the conditions at
tending their reasonable readiness for
actual operations against an enemy,
and the time required to increase their
number within certain assumed peri
DDS. That is to say, what force could
we put into the field of quality up to
the standard European armies in from
three to six weeks, in seven months, in
year or more? The calculation is
made with reference to the possibility
that, should our navy fail to prevent
an army of 100000 men, thoroughly
prepared for war, could be landed on
our shores in three weeks and another
100000 in forty days more, or 100000
men in two months
The conclusion at which Major Bige-
| low arrives are not optimistic He es-
inmates the regular mobile troops IL
the United States on a peace footing
that is, as they now are, within the
home territory, at 81, 456 From this
number he thinks that there could be
formed a field army of the various es-
sential branches-infantry, cavalry,
field artillery, engineers, signal troops,
and sanitary troops-of 14,545 men,
with thirty-fOur guns. The President
has the authority, at discretion, to eX-
Ipand the organizations of the regular
army to their full war strength Should
he do so, the number would be increas
ed by about $4,000 men, which, if equip
ment were supplied, would give field
army of 1904, a little larger than a
European army corps. But the process
of enlisting, equipping and fairly train
ing the new men would require at least
six months. After examining the va
rious conditions attending the use of
the militia, Major Bigelow estimates
that the United States may secure for
immediate action-''the first line"-in
from three to six weeks, 5000 reg
ulars; in seven months, regulars and
National Guard 10000; in nine months,
l180,000, and in one or two years, 300,-
1000. He thinks, however, that any
force beyond 10000 might be seriously
lacvkng in transportation, medical
equipment, signal equipment, and en-
gineer equipment He also finds our
sea coast defenses lacking in both
equipment and men.
This, plainly, cannot by any stretch

readiness for war. 1t canot be called
readiness to repel promptly an in
yading force which, according TO Ma
jor Bigelow, it is physically possible
for other nations, if they chose to 10
so, to send against us. Our condition,
at the present time, so far as our fight
ing capacity goes, is not only that Of a
nation at peace, but that of a nation
able and determined to remain at
peace. Whether we shall indefinitely
be both determined and able to main
tain peace is another question. During
the first 115 years Of our National ex-
istence We were involved in four wars
with other nations, at an average in
terval of less than twenty-nine years,
which is rather more than one to each
generation In three of these contests
We were victorious; the remaining
one was, in military sense, a draw, -
when peace was signed, though a sig
nal victory was won by US before the
news of the treaty reached the coun-
try. None of these wars was such as
we should have to wage now in a quar-
rel with any first-class, or even third
class, Power. We may for long years
be safe from such a quarrel, but, on
yiously, our safety does not lie in
preparedness.
