GARRISON ON TIE ARMY.

Perhaps one of the most interest ing developments in the demand which is being made for an investigation of the preparedness of this country for war is the different views taken by President Wilson and Secretary of War Garrison. Tn declaring that there has been no negligence of national de- fense, the president attributes the a.p- peal fer an investigation to the fact that the country has been lnisinform- ed. and declares that Eve shall not turn America into a military camp. We will not ask our young men to spend the best years of their lives making soldiers of themselves,'' but his idea is to somehow depend upon a tfcitizenry trained and accustomed to arms''
 Such does not express the senti- fnents of the secretary of war. His report doesn't call for any such vague or uncertain provision It in fact gives substantial support to the contention that the country is not properly pre- pared. Dealing with the situation as he finds it, he considers that steps to overcome the unpreparedness should be taken by filling up the existing or ganizations of the mobile army to their full strength and that prepara- tions should be made for the establish xnent of a, reserve.
 Referring to the size of the mobile army being reduced to z5.000 men by the taking away of troops which must be sent to the possessions, Secretary Garrison declares that such will leave us with an army only about twice the size of the New York police force. When he declares that there is insuf- ffcient artillery and artillery ammuni- ton, inadequate motor vehicles and a weak aviator corps combined with the small army, he presents the matter in a, far different light and there can be no doubt he is talking from the facts as he sees them.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Hope, In Rhode IsIanGs State Seal.

10PSy UT t1hooS ISIdnQ$ StSfe seal.
 MT. Editor: Noticing MT. Bugbee's s query regarding the word Hope on the state seal for Rhode Island, the under signed would state that its origin will hardly be found in a study of Rhode Islands history, but, rather, it will be found in a study of the dialect of the colonists who settled there.
 When Roger Williams coloutzed Rhode Island many Englishmen and women came with him, and, the dear people, while they may have shaken off some of their poverty, could never English word and means "a piece of land surrounded by waste (waterl. a. fen or marsh. a slopinT plain, or an upland portion of a valley, a small bay, or a haven" The word is free quently found in England, Stanhope. Easthope being names of Engiish towns; also. Good Hope, in South Af- rica.
 As Rhode Island is andented with numerous small bays and inlets. it would seem that Hope Is more appro- priate than Rhode Island, and it might avoid confusion when we con- slider that "Rhodians'' might be raL- lives of Rhodes in the Mediterranean sea or Americans. The insertion of the word Hope into the seal was. in all probability, a concession to the senta- ment of the colonists. More might be said upon the subject, but the forego-. ing is a reasonable suggestion and may be helpful in directing the right path to the solution of the question.
