NAVAL PROGRAM
ON SANE BASIS
Contends That Omnibus Appropria-
ton Should be Only Method Taken
in Dealing with Continuance OF
Sea Power.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Declaring
that there had been much publicity of
military affairs Of the nation, Senator
Weeks, of Massachusetts. in a speech
in the senate, opposed agitation for a
special investigation of military pre-
paredness, praised the strength and
personnel Of the navy, and urged the
organization Of an army reserve.
'At this time" said Weeks, ut does
not seem to me that it is wise or pru-
dent to take any action which will
change our policy, or add to our naval
equipment except by omnibus approp-
Ration which can be expended under
the direction of the general board of
the navy. with the approval of the
secretary of the navy and the presi-
dent. Based on the experience of the
past our naval establishment is in a
class with that of Germany and
France, and probably second only to
that of Great Britain"
Weeks maintained that the army Is
insufficient. and proposed it's re-or-
ganization, not for the purpose of in
creasing the permanent active army,
but for the organization Of the re-
serve corps, which would make avail
able large forces of trained soldiers
at all times.
Through the reserve system Weeks
maintained that much larger train
ed army could be maintained at less
expense than permanent standing
army.

OF these people. They are a Joyful,
light-hearted race, drinking their beer,
and dancing their dances and singing
their live songs with as great glee as
any people on earth; for the religion
of the Cross is a religion of Joy, and
these people are true disciples of the
Cross. There is a gentleness and re-
finement among them that one cannot
easily find among the peasants of an
other land. In this whole land there
is scarcely one peasant girl that is not
fit to grace the halls of palace; and
there are many peasant girls here
more refined and graceful in feature

Over the Mountains.
One day had gone far into the
mountains, and had come to the
heights where the clouds were resting
like stole on the shoulders of the
peaks; had lost my path, and had
been searching for it for over an hour,
when I heard the sound of cow.bells
not far of. It was welcome voice,
for knew now that even If should
not succeed in finding the patch,
could wait until evening and follow
the homing cattle. But hoped that
someone might be with the cattle; so
sounded my mountain whistle, and

tie way off. We kept calling to one
another like ships in fog on the
ocean, and after about fifteen minutes
found myself in the company Of two
little shepherd boys, who were herd.
ing the cattle. l asked them where
was the shelter-inn on the mountain,
as l had intended to pass the night
there; but they told me that it had
been closed few days before, as the
year was now getting late and very
few travellers were coming to the
hills; however, if l would be so good
as to accept their hospitality, would
be welcome to their home. 1t needed
very little pressing to bring me to &C.
cept the invitation, for though noun
tains look very poetic in the gloam-
ing, when person is tired and hun
cry and cold, he doesn't care very
much for the descent of their rugged
sides; he prefers the hospitable board,
the crackle of the log fire and the
restful couch.
