The proposal to form a permanent COM

of our army. navy and national defences
seems To- me to he both wise and neccs-
sary just at this time. ! have no preCon-
ceiVed opinion As to whether our army
and navy should b. made larger. but I
have very definite opinion that whatever
army and navy We have, whether they be
small or large. should bo scientifically or
gained, efficiently administered and az eff
tective from the military point Of view as
they can possibly be made.
\ general Congressional inquiry seems
to me necessary at this time because. since
individual experts Numerically differ, a
general Investigation is the only way In
which the facts can be brought with au-
thoritN. before the whole people. The in
quiry should not he made in a spirit of
fiuthnding or condemnation. II should
be- one that all patriotic men and women
can support. Even those who want to
abolish the army and navy and 20 so far
as to advocate the prohibition of toy tin

abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics. Bright's disease which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1913, in the state of New
York alone. Therefore, it behooves us
to pay more attention to the health Of
these most important organs.
