pointed TO by Gen. Leonard Wood in
his annual report of the chief of staff
of the army 1t shows that the actual
strength Of the army is 4,062 officers
and $4,000 enlisted men. scattered over
the world, and the general declares
that To maintain a force within the
United States sufficient for even a
small expedition and the police work
of the day, it would be necessary to
increase substantially the regular es-
adjustment
General Wood suggests that infau-
try regiments be brought up TO 100
men per company, that some new
regiments be added, and recommends
~ additional battalions Of field artil-
lery. There should also be seven more
companies Of engineers, he says, and
some additional technical troops as
the Philippines, Hawaii and Panama

Large Facts About a Large City

What are the names Of the three
largest cities in the Western Hcmis
phere? About 100 out of every 100
well-posted citizens Of the United
States would promptly answer-New
York, Chicago and Philadelphia. And
according to "A communication just re-
ccived by the Pam American Union
they would guess wrong. This mes
sage states that the corrected returns
of the recently taken census show that
the population of Buenos Aires has
grown 10 100000, thus passing Phila-
delphia and crowding her out of the
third place.
The growth of the Argentine capital
has been phenomenal. In 20 years il
has almost trebled its population and
become the largest city in the world
south of the equator. the largest Span
ish speaking city in the world. the
second largest Latin city-Paris alone
outranking it--and the third largest
city in the western world. lmmigra-
ton is, Of course. largely responsible
for this rapid increase, but the city's
birth rate, S41 per Thousand, has cut
considerable figure.
Some more interesting. questions. the
answers to which are not very gener-
ally known, might be asked in this con
nection. For instane-Wherc Is the

STARTLING PREDICTION.

The events Of the past week have
been proving that Professor Roland
G.. Uusher of Washington University
ST. Louis, was a sound prophet in his
brilliant book entitled German
ism" Professor Usher holds that the
most significant question before the
Anglo Saxon race today is the truth
or falsity Of the Austro- Germanic be-
lief in the survival Of the fittest in
world politics.
After a searching analysis of the
course of events in the last decade,
Mr.. Usher predicted, many months ago
exactly the situation which has now
arisen between Austria and Servia. and
precisely the alignment Of great pow
ers which has followed il.
In view OF the fulhllment Of his pre-
dictions. Professor Usher's emphatic
statement Of the German point of view
is arresting:
England Germany hates, disdains,
and despises. For France and Russia
she possesses a wholesome respect
mingled with fear. but not with love.
France, she considers strong man
who has run his race and is now be-
ginning TO reach seuility; Russia, she
looks upon as an uncouth stripping not
yet conscious Of his strength. not yet
skilful enough 10 use the strength 81
which he is conscious, and not yet in
telligent enough to avoid being easily
deceived"

ANOTHER END OF THE WORLD"

When the bottom OF the sea gives
way from some future volcanic dis
turbance, the whole earth will be con-
sumed in flames, just as other worlds
every day are being consumed, accord
ing TO Louis Rabourdin, the French
scientist. Recent volcanic disturb
ances lead this scientist to believe that
such "A time is not far distant. The
earth's crust is very thin at the bottom
OF the sea, he says, and he adds that
the floor in which we stand is more
frail than we are led to believe.
Mr.. Rabourdin imagines a disaster
so great as to involve the whole earth.
If such an event should occur, he
thinks that from "a distant world it's
appearance and progress would exactly
parallel what we ourselves see in the
case of the "novae," or distant stars,
that blaze out in the heavens from
time to time.
Mr.. Rabourdin SAYS: Suppose that
following upon an extraordinary twist
ing movement, due to retreat of he
central mass, large mass of sea bot
tom should let in the mass Of the
oceans waters upon the incandescent
interior matter. The water would be
decomposed by the heat, the hydrogen
would burn and it would burn more as
1t had access to more oxygen. The con-
lagration would thus gain gradually in,
force, accompanied by electric pheno-
mena, and the greater part Of the
earth's crust would probably be dis
placed. The earth, passing through
critical epoch and returning for the
time being TO its formative period,
would again be nothing but a globe OF
fire
For the far-off worlds that swing
IN sidcreal space this would be the
phenomenon Of new star that bazes |
out all at once, increases in brilliancy |
as If it would eclipse the luminous
splendor OF all its neighbors, and then
becomes feebler and feebler, to dis |
appear finally forever i'm the profound |
darkness Of the limitless distance"
When such catastrophe takes
place. IL ever it does, that will be the |
end Of the world" so far as we at |
least are cOnCerncd.-War Cry.

The Revenue Cutter Service
THEN


one hundred and twcnty-four years
ago today George Washington signed
the Congressional act which establish
ed the United States Revenue Cutter
Service. II thus became the first mar
itimc force of the American Republic.
Fifteen months later there were ten
revenue cutters afloat Differed by vet
Grams of the old Continental Navy.
These vessels constituted the only
armed force afloat belong to the Unit
ed States for the following six years.
Their duties were to patrol the coast,
extending in those days from Maine to
Georgia, TO prevent smuggling, and to
enforce the few maritime laws existing
in the United States. Organized UNI
der the treasury department, il re-
manned i'm the discretion of the presi-
dent to send them To war under the
navy Fighting French privateers in
179S, the revenue cutters captured
eiehteen Of the twenty prizes taxi
en- by the United States. In the war
of 1912 they captured the first prize
ship, and fought CALAMITY throughout
the war. They fought i'm the Mexican
war; one of the cutters accompanied
the naval expedition AGAINST Paraguay
in 1858. During the Civil war, they
fought with the navy and helped TO
maintain the blockade Of Southern
ports. In the Spanish american war.
a revenue cutter accompanied Dewey
into Manila Bay, while the crew of an
other won Congressional medals for its
spectacular rescue of Ensign Baeley's
helpless torpedo boat at Cardenas
Cuba.
