CANNOT HANDLE BIG ARMIES
Movement Of Force Of . Half
Million Ridiculous.
Took 5 Days to Draw Up
$4,000 at Gettysburg.

Will the attempt now being made
by European countries In mobilizing
gigantic armies in view of crushing
the armies of their opponents be sue
cessful? Can the kaiser with his
monster fighting forces, with which
he expects to invade France, march
his men into the hostile country and
keep an open line Of communication
with his base of supplies? Will the
cxar with his armies consisting of mil
lions Of men strangle himself on the
battlefield because of the unwieldly
proportions of his forces?
That it is impossible to mobilize and
keep q fighting force of a million men
on the march is the argument put
forth by c. w. Upton, a veteran of the
Civil war, living at 1924 College ave-
nue..
A veteran of dozen campaigns. Mr..
Upton says that an army of a million
men, properly equipped with supply
err paraphernalia necessary for cam
paign would, when strung out on the
march, be more than three hundred
miles long.
An army of that proportions would
not have ample room to maneuver,
preparatory to going into battle, it
given half the country of Belgium.
''At the battle of Gettysburg the
Union army numbered about $4,000
men. 1t took three days for the regi-
ments in the rear of the Union forces
to get into action after the advance
guard had attacked the enemy" said
Mr.. Upton.
The reports that the kaiser and czar
are mobilizing armies of q million or
more men each. Mr.. Upton does not
believe.
Even should an attempt be made to
mobilize this number of men into one
body, the army would prove unwieldly
and its attempts to go into action
would be similar to the actions of a
whale trying to swim in an ordinary
sized bath tub, is Mr. Tfpton's theory

BRYAN OPPOSES COLONEL
Doesn't Want Roosevelt Heard
on Colombian Treaty.

Washington. July 80. Secretary
Bryan, defending his Colombia treaty,
dc clarcd to-day that the administration
does not deem it necessary TO examine
INTO the merits OF the controversy re
l&ting 20 the action Of the United
States in 1903, and that the reopcning
Of the original dispute is mot only un-
necessary but objectionable. as such ac-
ton would revive the very feeling Of
unfriendlincss which it is desirable to
a'lay."
Mr. Bryan is aversc TO the Senate
Committee hearing Colonel Roosevelt3
version Of the course Of the United
states government in 1908. He sad
t. day that the treaty us fully justi-
fed, no matter what theory one may
adopt as to the course pursued By our
nation in connection with the separa-
ton of Panama from Colombia"
What business or fairness" Mr..
Bryan continued, "can there be in the
propo- ION that Colombia, having re-
used II accept a fair price. is not en-
titled to any damages At all? The pay
ment of the S25.000,000 provided for in
the treaty is only a reasonable COM
pensstion for damages actually suffered
damages that ought to be paid, no
matter what theory one adopts in re-
gard TO the action OF the United States
or the action Of Colombia in 1909
