ALSAcIANS PREPARED
TO WITHSTAND INVASION

Belfort. Nov. 22.-"You know" said
one of the old Alsacians who sought
refuge in this last little corner of
Alsace that was saved to France after
the war of 1870, they can't do much
more than they did before, while we
can do a lot more"
The news had just arrived that me
Germans were forcing the fighting in
Upper Alsace and the sound of san-
nOnading seemed to bring nearer the
eventuality of third siege of Bel
fort. The town was none the Jess
tranquil for that, most of the inha BIZ
tants shared the confidence of this
old veteran, who, as he talked, pointed
signifi cantly to the great Lion of
Belfort'' that Bartholdi carved in the
solid red sandstone on which the cita-
del is built.
The Germans are, no doubt sure
they can do "a lot more" than in
1870. They undoubtedly will, if they
can bring up their 17-inch mortars
but their troubles will begin farther
down the 'Belfort Gap"-the open
space between wher the Jura noun
tains end and where the Vosges be-
gin. 1t is an inviting opening for an
invader but it is capable of many de
ceptions-

Our Standing Army
Now Too Small.

General w. w. Wotherspoon, retir-
Ing chief of staff of the United States
army, in his final report recommends
a standing army Of 100000 men and
an organized militia of 100000, stat
ing that such force is an absolute
necessity for the protection of the
foreign possessions Of the United
States, including the great waterway
across the Isthmus of Panama
The recommendation is in line with
statements by practically all officers
connected with the United States
army, to the effect that this country
is absolutely unprepared for a great
foreign war, and all of them urge a
large increase in the standing army.
It is doubtful just what view con-
Eress will take of this matter, but be-
lief is growing that the matter will
be passed over this winter and that
the sixty fourth congress will have it
to deal with.
Following the war between the
states the standing army was limited
to $4,000 men, and, Notwithstanding
numerous recommendations for a sub
stantial increase, it's strength remain
ed at $4,000 until the Spanish-Ameri-
can war. The strength of the army
was then doubled and, after the war,
was still further increased. The
maximum authorized strength of the
standing army today is 100000 men,
but it is seldom recruited up to that
number. Compared with the peace
footing of even the smallest nations
of the world the United States army
is extremely weak. An increase to
the extent recommended by General
Wotherspoon, however. would hardly
Ne in accord with advance Of a war
like policy, which would probably
prove extremely unpopular with the
people.
That there is urgent necessity for
an increase in the coast artillery corps
no one will deny, for with the COM
pletion of the great fortresses to
guard the Panama Canal a strong de-
fachment should be maintained there
tnsufficiently manned; and these
should be strengthened. The United
States is a defensive nation While |
we do not seek war and deprecate
great military naval establishment, |
preparedness to repel attack is a ne
cessity that a majority of the people |
recognize.

the contract where the board did place
it because of the satisfactory results
of tests reported ~ the superintendent
of the water works plant.
