These suits are, of course, two-piece and
are made slightly lOOser than the wooden

and sleeves to give the needed body to
them, and regular sack coat. But this
is cut shorter than any coat OF the

disastrous in the past, both financially
and from the point of conservation of
our human resources. In the war of 1872
Great Britain had never at any time on
this continent a greater force than 1880
soldiers. We mustered into the service
52I coo men, more than half a million.
In 1873 we had a pension roll of $4,000

To bring about the greater changes and
reduction in cost of the army which Gen.
Wotherspoon believes possible the pro-

have to upset some long-establfshed con-
gressional pulls and root out many Of
the army posts now scattered through
out the west. These posts, many of
them considered useless by the army,
have been carried on from year to year
because OF strong influences that have
been exerted in favor Of their continu-
ance.
TOO much army and too much infiu-

local constituents is the reason Gen.
Wotherspoon gives for the failure of the
army board to abolish scores of these
posts. A general council would be able

THE army, drifting along from its old
days of Indian campaigning, settled

out-of-the-way corners you can conceive
of. the farthest possible from sources of

the administration Of the army is enor-

For instance, we can take a post way

more for freight than it does in any other
post in the country. The man who en-
lists in the troops in that post is brought

Its primary purpose will be to lay down

Tie scheme is that of Capt Richmond

Recent developments resulting in the

the Mexican border: the fact that every
detail of the equipment and preparation
Of the army for action is now under the
closest scrutiny, and the fact that army
and navy experts agree that some definite
military policy must be laid down by the
United States to prevent enormous waste
of money make it quite probable that the
Hobson scheme will become law as soon
as the new Congress settles down to work.

This procedure will result in great
economy and in systematic and regular
progress toward definite end. At present.
in the absence of such a policy. there is
general struggle for appropriations Con-
gress is more or less In the dark as to the
ultimate object and the whole procedure
is unnecessarily expensive and very un-

AS illustrating this phase Of Gen. Woods
statement, the appropriations of the last
two years for the army and navy are
iiluminative. For the last year Congress
gave the army s95.C0OOO and the navy

500, 100000 and the navy $126.OOO.OCO. To
be added to this is S1l 900, 600 in the two
years for Notifications.
In the two years the total appropriations
for defense amount to S45S 100000. All of
this money, while it was expended upon
the best advice and counsel obtainable.
for the general maintenance and develop
ment of the army and navy, was asked
for and spent without having any general
military policy to work upon, such as all
leading foreign nations have.
II can assure you, from my study of
this thing, that an army Of three times
the efficiency and of very considerably
greater strength can be supported well
inside the appropriation Congress is now
making, says Gen: Wotherspoon. presi-
dent Of the Army War College. where all
strategic plans are worked out.
Il consider this the most important bill
in regard to the military efficiency Of the
country that has ever come under my
observation. 1 say that from the stand
point only of the army. The great trou-
BILE we find at the War College is in as
certaning what the policy of Congress is
in regard to military affairs. We can only
deduce that from its legislative acts. If
we can crystalline those into a few
sentences It world be this: that Congress
expects. on the breaking out of war, that
