The opinion draws a plain line OF
demarkation between the powers of

gers or freight travelling over the rail
road are involved, otherwise the local

fWTltIeH TOT Lne Unlteu 1reSS.
Washington. Dec. 16.-"Are we pre-
pared to fight?" This question, with
interest stirred in it by the war
abaroad, promises to develop into one
Of the biggest issues before the couE-
try during the next year. The atten-
tion Of congress during the present
session will be centered on it much of
the time.
While advocates Of bigger and bet
ter army and navy are equipping
themselves with heavy supplies of
data to show that the United States
would be hopelessly weak if attacked
by one Of the world powers, the anti
militarists are arming themselves with
information to back up their conten-
tion that further preparedness for war
would be undesirable and Unnecessary.
The pacificists will admit that our
preparedness is not to be compared
with that of other great nations, but
they will argue that with the rest Of
the world embroiled in the greatest
war Of history all our rivals will be so
exhausted by fighting that they would
not dare to attack us for years to
come This fact, along with the nat
ural defense constituted by our geo.
graphical isolation, gives us ample
protection, the peace men will con-
tend.
The case of the militarists was vote

spoon, ex-chief Of staff Of the army, in
his annual report, Just issued. He sum

pines, or Alas.,a. or Hawaii, or any
other Cf our insular possessions. Our
coast defenses are lamentably made
quate. We could not concentrate a
sufficient force to repel an invasion
by first class fighting power.
Here is the remedy. Raise the regu-
lar or standing army from its present
strength of $4,000 men to 2O5,O00. Gre
ate first line OF reserves of 100000
thoroughly equipped and trained. Es-
tablish a second reserve of 100000
men. a
Gen. Wotherspoon does not go to
the length of advocating compulsory
military service, but he says this: "In
any scheme to create such force of
mobile troops, we cannot do better
than to follow the example of the mas
ter minds in military organization for
national defense. The policies devel-
oped in this directio n all include,
~4HDl5 othCiHt thc primary pan Vi uo-
ing the standing army as a school of
training for men who, on graduation
from that school, pass into the reserve
and constitute the real national mill
tary strength"
Many militarists, however, will
agree with Gen. Wotherspoon that
there is urgent need for re-organiza-
tion of the state militia. Agitation
has been long under way for change
in the laws governing the militia which
will bring greater reliance upon an in
creased control by the national govern
ment. Until this is done, authorities
declare, the militia cannot be regard
ed as dependable branch of our mil
itary strength.
The modification of the law propos-
cd is to place the militia under pay
of the national government and under
binding obligation to serve at its call.
This, 1t is thought, would produce a
state of affairs where the militia
would be much more thoroughly train
ed than under existing laws, and to
that extent can be more thoroughly
depended upon.
The actual number of men available
in our coast defense artillery is $4,000,
or 10000 less than the number estimat-
ed to be necessary to man the de.
fenses. 1t is contended that the Of
lenses are so few and far apart as to
offer an invading army large choice
of landing places along our coast. Ex-
perts are now asserting that the latest
type of super-dreadnaught with its
armament of fifteen inch guns could
stand off at sea and batter our coast
forts to pieces while the shells from
our fourteen inch defense guns would
fall harmlessly in the water 1000 yards
short of their mark

border of the river Amambahi, and
attains a height Of only about FIVE
inches. The smallest bit of this plant
when placed upon the tongue produces
a surprisingly sweet SAVIOR, which, it
is said, lasts for hours. The saccha-

In 1908, at Akron, in opening the

Of reducing railroad fare from three

Through examination of witnesses

general public, the commission hopes
to obtain information concerning the

constructive recommendations.
Some of the subjects to be inquired

employment, possibilities of ending ir-
regularity and increasing production
through scientific management, the ac-
