bags and spades and two dogs, had en-
tered the field quietly and made their
way up along the hedge to the warren.
Arrived a the warren, they flung
down spades and bags and loaded

cause they rolled and danced about I'm

that he is appreciated in his true char

able citizen and to foster the military
spirit in universities, colleges and
schools, both military and otherwise,
and to organize the cadets. who attain
a certain military proficiency into one
Of the lines of defense Of the United
States.
Officers of the league declare that
the eXtravagant waste both in men
and money which has characterized
American military affairs since 1871
Is beyond belief. They assert that
in all probability not one American in
100000 has any conception Of the CON
ditions which have obtained for, more
than 120 years owing TO a lack of a
consistent and properly thought out
policy for the army.
Since 1871 the war department has
cost s7,154 .O60,636, and pensions s4.-
427,400.254. IN every war in which
the United States has been engaged,
the leagues officers say, it has been
compelled TO use two and one-half sol
diers TO every one adversary.
Never in our history have we been
prepared for war, they add, and to
employ unframed material is always
dangerous and expensive.
The officers Of the Army league are:
Presiden--William c. Endicott, son
OF the secretary of war during Mr..
CleTeland's first administration.
Vice Presidents-Robert E. Lee,
grandson Of General Robert z. Lee:
Robert Bacon. former secretary OF
state and ambassador 10 France, and

only be effected in time Of peace.
The Army league, in directing its
efforts TO obtain al adequate and eff
cient military force will favor:
/ Adequate regular army, organ
lied militia and reserves as the best
guaranty of peace.
.. An economically administered
army.
3. Military forces for the nation
and not for local interests.
Legislation to encourage a re-
serve and organized militia as auxil-
iaries 10 the regular army.
5. A reserve composed of officers
and men who have received sufficient
training previously to make them an
efficient force at the beginning Of hos
pitalities.
HAS Long PROGRAM.
The league has a long legislative
program. Among other measures II
will support viii be bills to increase
the personnel Of the army and national
guard through q reformed system of
promotion for officers; 20 render the
organized militia available when the
regular army is insufficient for mill
tary operations with provisions for
suitable pay; TO extend the combined
maneuvers for the regular army and
organized militia in larger forces than
heretofore, approaching as nearly as
possible 70 war conditions; TO provide
adequate seacoast troops and re-
serves. both regular and militant and
10 revise the laws relating 10 the call

The league will use its influence
fer the betterment OF the individual
enlisted man; to urge that proper re-
