of national defense until the acute sit
uation in Mexico has brought home to
us the unprepared state Of this nation
to face a sudden war. If there should
not be peaceful termination of the
Mexican trouble temporary war meas
ures and makeshifts would have to be
adopted, as has been the case at the
beginning of every other war in this
country. all of which have been disas-
trous and expensive on account of
their experimental character.
''At the regular session of congress
the subject of increasing military eff
cheney must be considered. The sec
rotary of war has taken pronounced
position on the subject, and we will
await his definite recommendations
with great deal of interest
II am not prepared now to say what
should be done. The plans and details
must be worked out by men of expert
ence and judgment, but it is plainly
apparent that improvements must be
made and the army put in condition to
meet the requirements of the nation.
1.-THE formation of reserve corps is
very difficult matter and .One with
which we have not had experience in
this country. We cannot pattern on
the lines of continental countries
which have a CONSUMPTION method of
filling the ranks of the armies and con-
troll all available men for military serv-
ice. Our army is a volunteer organi-
zation. The regular army man is a
voluntary soldier. who can return to
other occupations at the end Of his
term of enlistment.
"At all events, it seems certain that
the country is becoming aware of the
unprepared condition Of our army and
will sustain congress in making such
changes as seem necessary to place
the army upon a footing to meet emer-
gencies and secure the honor and in
tegrity of the nation

Considerable interest is being

trade to have this city we'll repre-

ford next Thursday night.
The board of trade, business men
and citizens of New Smyrna are

that town, and the neighboring city
will have a large number of repre-
sentatives at the gathering in San
ford this week. There will be sew
eral automobile loads of representa-
ent at the booster gathering Thurs
day night, and these boosters are
also anxious Daytona should be well
represented at the meeting.
The New Smyrna contingent ex-
poets to start for Sanford about 2:30
O'Clock in the afternoon. Part of
the machines viii go direct from
New Smyrna to Sanford by way of
the Osteen ferry, and the others
the narrow tread cars, will come to
Daytona and proceed to Sanford by
way of DeLand and Beck's ferry
These cars viii reach Daytona about
$3.50 o'clock and hope to be accom-
panied from this city by a large
number of cars.

WHY ISN'T
THE RUBBISH
REMOVED?
]. v. SHIELDS DECLARES IT
is A DISGRACE TO THE CITY
SUGGESTS THAT AUTHORITIES
SHOULD EITHER DO THE WORK
AS AGREED OR HAVE OTHERS
DO 1T.
DO 1T.

Editor Daily News: I, with many
other residents of Daytona, would be
pleased to learn just where we stand
in the matter of removing rubbish
from our parkage, when it is placed
there according to instructions re-
ceived. We place such rubbish. as
required, to be removed Friday morn
ing, but for unknown reasons this is
rarely done, and we wish to know the
reason. We do not pretend to know
who is responsible, but we would
suggest that the work be done or
the bluff called and residents be no
titled to remove it themselves.
AS the matter now stands we are
subjected to the disagreeable condi-
tion of having unsightly repositories
for rubbish standing in front of our
places for several days in mid-season.
which is a disgrace to any decent
community. Let those in authority
either instruct residents to attend to
it themselves, or do as they agree
TO do and remove it at the time stat
ed.
A ride over the resident streets
daring the past few days must have
been anything but edifying to a Wis
itor, and a mighty poor advertisement
for the pretuest winter resort in the
world. 1t might be well to add to
the prettiest winter resort in the
world" sign at the depot, with the
exception thar from three to four
days each week our beautiful streets
are Uttered with unsightly barrels
and boxes, filled with all imaginable
disagreeable rubbish"
The result of this is that a visit
or coming to Daytona for the first
time viii not see or remember the
beauties Of the streets, but viii ever
remember the dirty and offensive
barrels and boxes standing where
they are most conspicuous.
would suggest that if the bluff
of removing it is to be kept up, this
work might be done just as cheaply
at night as during the day time, and
if for good reasons the entire streets
can not be cleaned in one day, then
the work be done on streets designat-
ed at certain times, and attended to
when that time comes.
AS residents and well wishers we
should all be interested in this mat
ter Of permitting garbage to stand
on the parkage in front of our res
licences, as it is a stigma on the in
nocent owner of the property, and
should. in all decency. be abolished
as an inexcusable nuisance. and
serious detriment to the town.

Although no regular report was
submitted by the special committee
to which was referred the petition
from the Arcade company for per-
mission to bridge over the north
canal, and asking the city to pay
half the expense, Alderman Mills,
chairman of the committee, stated
to the council at the regular meeting
last night, that the members of the
committee had found sentiment very
strongly against permitting the Ar
cade company to make a road out of
the canal.
Marcus H. Rogers, who owns prop
erty abutting the canal on the south,
was present to make a personal OBJ
lection to the council against per-
mitting such action. Mr.. Rogers
said that if the proposed action was
to give the Arcade company a place
to store its fire fighting apparatus he
could not see the advantage of bridg-
ing the canal for distance of 270
feet, when 15 or 20 feet would give
plenty of room for such storage.
1t was stated at the council meet
ing that if the city wishes to give
permission for the canal to be COW
cred, one man had made an offer Of
$1,000 for the privilege of erecting
a building over the canal and re
taining a lease on it for a term Of
