OUR STANDING ARMY.

The question of increasing the size
OF the standing army of the United
States again las been raised by a
request from the infantry arm of the
service to raise its effectiveness to
$4,000 men. The request has been
filed with the secretary Of war, to-
gether with recommendations for
reorganization on a new basis.
The proposed enlargement con-
templates the increase Of the number
of men in infantry companies from
sixty-five TO one hundred and would
permit the formation within the
United States of a mobile army Of
three infantry divisions OF twenty
seven regiments, one cavalry division
OF twelve regiments and seven regi-
inents of field artillery.
Exclusive OF coast artillery and
troops serving beyond the seas the
mobile army would on this basis
consist OF $4,000 infantry, 10000
cavalry. $500 field artillery and
200 auxiliary troops. a total of 54.-
600 men. or an enlisted man tC every
100 OF population.
Compared with the fighting forces
OF European countries this locks like
a comic opera army. but it is not ex-
pected or intended that the United
states shall attempt to rival the big
European powers in the size OF its
standing army. Nor is il necessary.
This nation is not surrounded by
other nations watchfully awaiting a
favorable opportunity TO pounce upon
it or 10 trespass upon either its ter
ritory OF international rights.
1t is necessary, however. that this
nation should have at all times per-
feet flghting machine. though COM
paratively small. as the nucleus OF a
defensive force to be filed up and
rounded out and made formidable by
the state troops.
Events of the past few weeks have
made 1t plain that the United States
must be ready at all times TO enforce
it's policies. whether it becomes neces-
sary or not. The usefulness Of the
big stick has not departed. and there
is no present prospec- of any nation
being able 10 dispense with its use.
Great Britains recent bluff in the
Mexican matter is an example OF what
may be anticipated on future occa-
sions and it is only through a well
organized army and navy that the
United States will continue to he in
a position to cali such bluffs
