THE MILITARY POLICY
(Continued from Page Five.)

practise. More than this, it is not too much to say that the cost of the army is increased One-tenth by the maintenance of these posts, distant in many cases from centers of sup ply, each with a complicated and eX- pensive staff system.
 Closely associated with this small post and dispersion system is the lack of higher tactical units"
 We alone of all the nations of the earth making any pretense to mili- tary strength are without OrganiZa- tions of the higher units. We have no brigades or divisions, and we leave the organization of these inn portant commands, without which war training must be purely theOreti- cal, and effective war on any but the most petty scale cannot be wag- ed, to the time of stress and con fusion when war is imminent or de- clared. Thus it is seen that in it's failure to provide for concentration of troops and proper tactical organi- cations in time of peace, the United States voluntarily increases the cost of maintaining the army, fOrbids the proper instruction of it's officers and men, gives up that initiative at the outbreak of a war on which in a great measure success depends. In this respect it places itself on a par with such countries as Bolivia, Ecua- dor, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras and

and death on the battlefield but un- necessary death through disease. While no one claims that by peace training the armed force of the coun- try can be made immune from dis ease. there is d just claim that such training will vastly reduce the losses from preventablc disease, and an ef- fort towards this. both from a hu- manitaian and economic standpoint, should he made.
 As regards loss Of life in battle this is d part of the game: but it is unfortunate that no figures can be produced which will indicate the pro portion of those losses which should be attributed to the lack of knoWI edge and skill of the unedUcated of ficers. which our system has in each war placed in command of troops, from the highest to the lowest units. It is evident. however, that il is inn possible to expect that men drawn suddenly from the pursuits of civil life. unprepared by previous training or study for the duties of officers, and assigned to the command of men. should be able to so manage the forces under their control as to sc cure the highest military results with the minimum loss of life, and that it is a fault, verginS on criminality, to place untrained. or half trained, and uneducated persons in positions where their lack of knowledge may not only endanger the lives of their subordinates but imperil the under takings of the government. As be- fore stated, in practically all our wars such persons have been placed in these positions of high command.
 As to the third cause given by General Upton, The short period for which levies were called into the service of the government" it may be said that the enormous cost of ouf wars may be traced primarily to this fact, which has resulted in an un- necessarily large number of men be- ing called out but also in part to the system which makes us purchase supplies and equipment at time when prices are inflated due to scarcity and unusual demand, and to the sentiment prevalent in the country that a reward in shape of pensions and bounty is due to the citizens who rally to the flag in tmc of national danger

THE DESTRUCTIVE CATTLE TIct
(Farm and Fireside)

CT arm ana tlfeSlde)
 The cattle tick is little fellow. but he makes his mark in the leather business and otherwise.
 A tick-free animal kept for beef or dairy purposes is worth, as an initial investment, $7 more than one remaining infested. and when the animal comes to the block there is an additional difference of $I26 in the hide value
 The tick. in extracting his bloody banquet from his host, leaves pune ture marks in the hide, which, when converted into leather will not fur nfsh the popular chrome stock
 Our great southern territory, in cluding the major portion of fifteen states, Las been held back from its rightful heritage of prosperity for generations on account of the in sidious activity of the cattle tick. A billion dollars each decade will not

lack of efficiency and states that the principal ones were: first, lack of discipline; second lack of knowledge of the duties of d soldier; third. the short periods for which the Ievies were enlisted or called into the ser vice of the government.
 T. we first consider the lack of discipline. without which there can not be that implicit obediance so necessary in all work, so vital to success in the army, it will be readily understood that the citizen. sudden Iy made soldier. has always lacked this prime essential; and it may be assumed that in the future the same fault will manifest itself, and in ad- dition it will be found, that, under our present system and conditions of civilization the volunteer will lack not only discipline, but many other attributes which were possessed by his forefathers. i. e., craftsmanship. woodcraft. power to withstand ex- posture and habits of frugal and sim ple life.
 It can be readily shown that this lack of discipline, coupled with the second cause advanced by General Upton, i C., lack of Knowledge of the duties of a soIGier's life" has been the principal reason for that awful unnecessary mortality which has been the accompaniment of all our wars
 It is a remarkable fact that peo- pie, reputed to possess such clear ideas as to commercial and business propositions, so altruistic have en- dured with apparent unconcern this enormous waste, not only of money,

Venezuela.
 In a speech on our military cOndi- ton, made by MT. McLachen of Cal ifornia to congress about q year ago, he said. "Thoughtless denial may come from the uninformed; I do not anticipate denial from the army itself or those I know. I think it con servative estimate based pn the testi- mOny of those who are daily wit nesses to the military dispersion ......that an entire and thorough re organization of the army along mili- tary lines will save approximately $2O.OOO,OO per annuTl and will in crease the efficiency of the army at least 200 per cent We have regi- ments which have not been assembl- ed for regimentaI, drill for years. We have coIonels who have never seen titular commands assembled. Our general officers have never seen a real, properly balanced field com mand."
 Taking up next the question of the effectiveness of the volunteer armies raised by the United States, and the militia when called into the service of the United States, the sturdy of our military operations shows that there has always been most serious lack of efficiency in this class of troops. until, by repeated enlistments and the hard school of war, they have become trained soldiers and veterans.
