THE MILITARY
 POLICY OF J. 5.
Major Evan NJ. Johnson, Jr., Secretary of Infantry Association, Complies a
 Pamphlet on Nations Lack of Military Platform
Continued from MOnday) The War of 1912.

At the declaration of war by the Unted States against Great Britain, the regular troops of the latter ma tion amounted to 4,5OO. our own army Consised of {, TAI men This was scat tered from one end of the country to the other. and although we de- cIared war and took the initiative. We not only failed to concentrate it. and thus be enabled to take advan- tage of our superior strength, but failed to make any provision for an organization larger than a regiment. We were without prjgades or diVi- sions, and no plans for their Organi- zatiOn had been made The first measures taken by congress after tine declaration of war, were for the purpose of remedying this defect. The legislation was based upon hastily devised and faulty scheme. involving regiments of ten companies each. No higher organizations were prescribed than d regiment. though they were authorized. Thus the early days of the war were wasted in devising schemes and plans for reorganiza- tion. which when formulated, owing to haste, were faulty.
 The increase of the regular army lb 51,NfV HIGH Ilstu BOtIl 1utlloA l<-t''' but was hampered by the legislation If fI92, which apparently had been forgotten. and which provided that every able-Dodied white male citizen of each state should be enrolled in the militia by the captain or com nIanding officer of the company in whose district the citizen might re- siGe; hence congress could not ac- ccpt the service of individuals, either as volunteers or regulars. without en- couraging the crime of assertion, for the law made no exceptions in favor If citizens who might enlist in these branches. The provision, so far as related to the regular army of about .,CO0 men under the control of the executive. and the mass of male citi 2ans eligible for military duty, en- rolled in conformity with the law in the militia. under the control of the several governors of the states.

 4 NECESSITY
To Provide for Tubercular Patients Who Are Re fused Admittancc to Hotels and Private RoOming Houses.

The growing need for some ar langcmout whereby the young men who come out to Arizona for their health may be cared for in proper places. is about now engrossing q good deal of the attention of the Young Mems Christian association General Secretary Harry Blair first stumbled on the problem when he in tcrcepted several young men leaving the office of the association after they had failed thera to find rooms and board in private families. Those who list their rooms seldom consent to take tuborcular patients. He spent most of one day locating them in comfortable quarters Turning his att tention to the Case he discovered that a great number of young men, .ho would ordinarily be members of the association and would easily find Fcth work and places to stop. are coming in Handicapped with the in Cipicnt rIElges of the white plague.
 The first gun in T campaign that must ultimately result in the estab- ishment of an institution for these HnfortuuatcS. was fir cd immediately It was a letter asking for advice of a member of the international com mittcc of the Young Mems Christian association, and it contemplated the establishment here of Y. NJ. C. \. secretary such as Denver now has.
 Following the receipt of a reply from the committeeman, Mr- Blair started to work on the state secre- tarics- Hc wrote them short letters and enclosed his letter to the com mttee. Letters Were also mailed to medical associations.
 Speaking of the situation.' MT Fl3ir said, almost works me into temper There is no use in Phoenix being compelled to support all these poor fellows. Through the Y. NJ. C. \. the churches. associations and other cities can help take care of the uufortunates. Many come here who do not require hospital treatment they would be out Of place in a formal institution. They are capable of responding to treatment. fresh air good food and exercise. But few private families Will take them in. They cannot afford 70 stop in hotels CT rooming houses. So they must move on until they finally locate some place to -tay-el en though it is lar from am ideal recupcraGng spot"

When Scott. in Au- gust, resumed the offensive, it was with 11.000 effective men against 36 900 Mexicans His army on reaching the capital was on December i re- ported to be only 5000 strong.

The number that died from disease was 6.541: and discharged, ruined in health 3.530.
 The heaviest loss from disease fell on the short-term men, the loss amongst troops of the old establish ment, who had enlisted in the regu- lar army in 1846 for the war. being at the rate of 6 3-4 per cent per an mum, and amongst regulars who en- listed in 1S47, and served year or less, 19 per cent per annum, showing that much greater proportion of loss falls on short-term troops, which may be attributed 10 their inferior training and inability to properly care for themselves in the field
 The cost in money for this war was $102,051 ,03900. outside of pen sions. etc
