it was expected here that definite de-

Huerta Understands Conditions.
Officials are confident that Huerta
now realizes not only that the United
States is earnest In its intention to
GUST him and may accomplish his elimi-
nation by lifting the embargo ON arms.
and also that Great Britain, as well
as the other foreign powers. have as

American contention, is said to be the
development on which the situation
has turned.
Refusal to resign or prevent the new

who annually pass from the army into civil life.
 This policy may be said to have been successful. fl the final result of our several wars be considered; but if, in the prosecution of those wars, we consider the effectiveness of the forces employed the cost, and the loss of life. il can readily be shown that for such success We have paid a price out of all proportion to that result. that we have been bchOlden to unparalleled good fortune. and have finally succeeded ill spite of d policy and system that would have swampcd any nation in the world but our own enormously rich and resourceful one.
 The active agents by which d mil- tary policy is cnofrced are the army and navy. IL is evident that unless these are adequate there will follow either failure. or, as has been said, success at a cost out of all proportion to the object attained
 For the navy it may be stated that during the last twenty years there has been pursued a progressive, if not liberal, policy that has re- suited in placing us second or third in rank among naval powers.
 The function of d navy is to sc- cure and maintain command of the seo. To accomplish this it must be free to seek and defeat the enemy. The use of any part of the fleet for local defense, therefore. defeats the chief object of naval power. The principal role of the navy is offen- sive. and the requirements of local defense must be met by other means A fleet unsupported by an army is unable to secure the fruits of voc tory A fleet defeated at sea is pow erless to check invasion, and this is a contingency that must always ba reckoned with. The solution of the problem of national defense lies in a provision for suitable land and sea forces, and due recognition of their coordinate relations"
 The attitude of congress and the people towards the development of the navy. if continued, will leave but little to be desired. Unfortunately the same wise course has not pre- vailed in regard to the army, and as consequence it is not effective as an agent in a policy.
 To arrive at a proper understand ing of the causes for this condition. if will be necessary to discuss in turn the regular army, available at all times. and the militia and volun- teers. available in certain national emergencies.
 Any lack of effectiveness in the regular army may be ascribed: first, to it's dispersion; second, to the lack of higher tactical organizations; third. to the failure to conserve to it's use. for a period as reservists, the trained service of the men edu- cated to the life of a soldier who are annually discharged from the ser

disagreements. there does not seem to be any immediate possibility of such solution; hence It must be granted that if a state wishes to as sure it's continued independent life. some measure of protection is neces- sary and that such measure must be adequate. This measure of protec- ton is called the military policy of a state.
 our interest is identified with the policy of our own country. and We what this is, and is it adequate? To determine we must study it's results in the past and judge by these re- suits whether it has been or is suit able. Briefly stated, this policy has

wee.
 The dispersion was originally due to the necessity for establishing the many small posts. under whose pro tection has arisen the great empire west of the Alieghanies. owing to the small size of our army and the system of peace strength companies it followed that in these posts only small garrisons were possible, and as these were charged not only with active operations against Indians in time of War but the upkeep of the posts in time of peace, it is evident that the force available. and the
Arizona republican., 1913-12-14

character of it's duties prevented
 what may be called higher tactical training. This condition as regards training obtains to great extent to- day. for while the necessity has pass ed for maintaining the posts, in SO far as the Indian is concerned, an other factor has developed which causes any attempt on the part of the war department to abandon them to be met with d storm of indigna- ton on the part of the inhabitants of nearby towns and cities. This factor is the money spent by the government for the upkeep. and by
