"Relatively small"

Those who had hoped that President

Preparedness.

We are at peace with all the world
ing army. as President WILSON says
in his message to Congress, and that Is
why an honest inquiry into the condi-
ton OF the army and navy would not
maker in the eyes of Europe when the
war is drawing 10 n close. Mr.. WILSON
appears to think that the inquiry asked
for would weaken our moral influence,
which is all We could exert, to the
point OF dcclnation Of our services
as Il friend Of tho combatants. As the
war obviously is far from over, it Is
doubtful If they would even remember
when we offered our services. that n
committee of Congress had held hear
ings in Washington and listened to tes-
timony about the strength OF the army
and navy.
Those in favor ~ an inquiry are just
as anxious for the continuance Of peace
with all the world as President VIII
son is. and they no more desire a large
standing army than he does. At the
most Congress would supply the def
cicncjcs Of the army and navy pointed
out in official reports which have been
disregarded.
But action would come only after an
open inquiry, and as ali the world
would see that there was no sinister
purpose. no mllItarism. in the moderate
United States. il is sophistical to say
that thereby we should forfeit the op-
portunity to counsel and obtain peace
in Europe

some Difficulties OF an Ideal Neu-

financial transaction proposed between
France and the banking house of J. +.
Morgan & Co., and the commercial
contracts entered into between an UNI
named bcllgerent Power and CHARLES
NJ. SCHwAB. both Of which have been
annulled and cancelled because of the
Intervention Of this Government appear

they are completely unassa liable. Yet

suance of the Presidents conception Of
neutrality, and it is credibly reported
that further inhibitions on transactions
now under way or contcmplatcd may bc
expected soon.
A number of delicate questions are
bound 10 arise in the enforcement Of
this policy. At present. for example. Il
large number of sympathizers with the
French are engaged in making up so
called Lafayette packs" containing
clothing and food for the intrenchcd
soldiers Of the republic. These packs
will unQuestionably comfort and sis.

country exempt them?
Whatever Of warships. arms and am.
to the combatants in Europe would
probably not be Of capital effect on the
duration or outcome Of the war. but In
another department of military supplies
we are to-day playing highly signifi-
cant function. and that function will
become Increasingly important as tn
conflict progresses. Wa refer To the

that the game is seriously mcnaced by

High salaries have two bad effects
