This matter will be taken up oy
the county court and an investiga-
tion will be made. There is dis
Ipute as to the. formation Of the rock
at the point where the abutment has
been located. Mr.. Brady says to go
down and build tile abutment of the
bridge on solid stone will cost the
county court $4,000 more than the
plan he has submitted and then there
is nothing but grade crossing. The
policy Of the railroad company is TO
eliminate all grade crossings.

! The Making Of Auto blle,.

y 1t appears that France, which; q few
years ago led the world in the manu-
facture Of automobiles. Is relatively
dropping back, atleast in the number
of machines produced. For instance,
in 1900 France manufactured 10,0ss
automobiles. England 2,4sl, and Ger.
many 1912. In 1906 the figures for
the same countries were; respectively
$4,000 $1,000 and $4,000. In the same
year the United States. beginning with
q few hundred In 1902. leaped 10 the
front. producing $1,000 machines, 5, !.
900 more than France. Italy and
Belgium have also made enormous
strides IN the last two or'three years;

A Reserve for This Country.

The war in Europe may make Congress listen 70
Ma ior General Leonard Wood this time When lie
recommends that this country should have an ade'
ouate army reserve. General Woods idea is that
n soldier should be in the regular army just long
enough to be thoroughly trained, and that then Ec
should step into the to give opportunity Tor
the training of another soldier. IN this way the
country might avoid the necessity of a large stand
ing army and yet have a considerable number "
trained men TO call upon in case Of national emer
gency.
The present long enlistment results in the tram
ing Of few men and in a small reserve. recruit
enlists for seven years four in active service and
three on reserve Bonuses and other inducements
often cause him to reenlist at the end of four years
so that the reserve is kept small and the number
Of trained soldiers is few.
General Woods first idea to make the term
Of enlistment short His present plan, embodied III
his latest report as Chief Of Staf-and it is wise
one we think-calls for a six-yCar enlistment. Civ
ing the soldier the option of going on the reserve
list. with the approval of the War Department. 1t
the end of eighteen months service After eighteen
months man would not have been long out Of
civil life that he would hesitate to 20 back into II.
With the option of going the reserve freely eNcr-
csed we should have a citizen sOdiery rather than
a professional army. The number of trained men
ot the nations disposal would be increased and the
country, without going in for European miliariSm,
would be better prepared for national emergency
than it is now.

To the Editor of The Tribune.

nationwide petitions to end the war,
by daily prayers.
believe that the thought currents
so created must influence the issue GER

proof of the transmission of sound by
aerial waves through the wireless; why
not utilize the greater power Of the
transmission of thought and create
definite thought to be transmitted to
the men actually engaged in war in all
parts of Europe?
Let me ask that from now on every
day. but particularly on the 4th day of
October, every man, woman and child

in all the world, precisely at II o'clock
midday, New York City or United
States Eastern time, will, with his
mind directed toward the combatants,

by circulation of the widest range, for
the distribution of this suggestion. Let
it increase in volume day after day
as the notice becomes gradually uni
versal, until by the 4th day of October
it shall have increased to such univer-
sal supplication, not only here but in
all the world, that not only the
thoughts, but also the .ctual transmits
sion, cannot help but reach all the com
batants. And then let US hope that
they, from the highest to the lowest

more logical than that this country
should be made the arbiter?
