Secretary of War Calls the
Attention of the Nation to
Msutjiciencp of Military

force in the conduct of civil affairs.
! 1T also seems proper, in passing, to
refer to the frame of mind OF those
who use the word 'militarism as the
EN- bodiment Of the doctrine of brute
force and loosely apply it to any or
gained preparation of military force,
and therefore depreciate any adequate
military preparation because 1t Is a
step in the direction of the condemned
'militarism.' Every nation must have
adequate force to protect itself from
domestic instruction, to enforce its
laws and to repel invasions; that is,
every nation that has similar charac-
teristics to those of self-respecting
man. If it prepares and maintains
more military force than is necessary
for the purposes just named, then It
is subject to the conviction. in the
public opinion of the world, Of having
embraced 'miltarism,' unless 1t In
tends aggression for cause which the
public opinion of the world conceives
to be a righteous one. To the extent,
however, that it confines it's military
preparedness to the purposes first
mentioned, there is neither warrant
nor justification in characterizing such
ac1lOQ as lnlllLdr1SIn.
Equally useless, in my view, is the
discussion frequently INDUCED in as to
, whether military preparation tends or
does not tend to avoid war. I term
such discussion useless because, so
| far as we are concerned, whatever
conclusion might be reached thereon
would not affect our duty. Since it is
not in mind to suggest any military
preparation Of the nations resources
beyond that absolutely essential I'M
| der existing conditions, the question
of whether more extensive preparation
| for the purpose of avoiding war would
have that effect Or not is futile. IN
| less and until the congress OF the
United States, representing the people
! of the country, places on record the
onclusion of the people to the con-
trary my duty is, think, entirely
clear: and that duty is to set forth
i the facts and the necessities growing
out Of the facts, and suggestions as
to the ways and means of fulfilling
such necessities

in his effort to comfort her.

"Why didn't you tell me you loved

fragrant garden, with the moonlight
making fairlyland about them, Peter
saw in her blue eyes that wonderful
