GOING SOME" BY
22sae DIR. A. S. PHELPS

Humorous and entertaining in its every
phase. Going Some, the lecture deliv-
cred by DR.. A. S. Phelps Friday evening
at the Methodist church for the benefit
of the Boy Scouts. delighted an audience
that almost filled the body of the church.
The lecture was inspirational in charae-
ter and dealt with the moral, social and
political problems that people are con-
stantly obliged to face. Brimming over
with funny stories, DIR. Phelps lecture
elected more than one round of laugh
ter. Then settling down to the more Sc
rious things he discussed the ''going
some" of things and influences when
they end to make a lige go down. and
also because they are topheavy like the
old Pith toys that have delighted hun
dreds of children. Touching upon person
al characteristics the speaker said that
conceit was the most predominant fault
in man, and he cited an instance where
a newspaper had asked 80 of it's women
readers to name what they consider the
greatest and most glazing of mans
faults and they all invariably answered
"conceit." The lecture was concluded
with quotations from the poets and from
Greek literature. and of anecdotes from
the lives of the sculptors and painters
of the world

the infantry and engineer companies,
70 per cent of the cavalry troops, 50
ner cent. of the coast artillery compa-
MES and practically all of the field
artillery batteries, are below the
prescribed minimum-and in all cases
the former and lower prescribed min
imum is referred to-"
At the close of the last fiscal year the
militia consisted of 11s,251 enlisted men
and S7s2 officers. Due TO the operation OF
the requirements of the much controvert-
ed Circular No s, the enlisted men were
increased by 1853 over the preceding year
while there was reduction in Officers
numbering 33S.
Circular No. sustained by the legal
authorities of the war department called
for the reduction of the number of gem
erals and other higher officers in the mi
litia to a number more nearly corre-
spending with the total enlisted strength.
General Mills reiterated his plea for
the creation of militia reserves, point
ing out the inevitable delay that would
hamper the country in the event of war
in obtaining recruits unless a trained re-
serve exists from which to supply the
needed increase.

al equipment, except by an omnibus
appropriation 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
President Based on the experience
of the past our naval establishment
is in class with that of Germany and
France, and probably second only to
that of Great Britain"
Senator Weeks maintained that the ar
my was insufficient and proposed its re-
organization not for the purpose of in
creasing the permanent active army but
for the organization of a reserve corps
which would make available large forces
of trained soldiers at all times. IF the
military experts are right" he said.
chat the country needs a force of 100000
trained men supplemented by from 100000
to 100000 volunteers to give 1t reason
able chance of protection against prob
able fore and that the 500,e00 men will be
needed at once on the outbreak of was
organized as fighting machines-it would
appear that tho defence provided at pres
ent by Congress is Inadequate and prae-
tically worthless and that the moneys
spent on this defence are largely vast
ed"
BY the reserve system, Senator
Weeks maintained that a much larger
trained army could be maintained ut
less expense than permanent stand
ing army now.
Il believe" said the senator, that
laws should be passed at once which
will re-organize the regular army.
The reorganization should give to the
mobile army the proper proportion OF
infantry, field artillery cavalry engi-
neers, signal, sanitary troops, the
needed ammunition and supply trains
and provide for properly equipped
depots. The law must provide that the
men serve the shortest time with the
colors necessary to train them as SOL
diers. and then pass them as soon as
trained to a reserve and that while
serving in this reserve, the men must
be maid. Make the enlistment age IL
to 81, with consent of parents, ana
25 as the limit for first enlistment.
In addition to the national reserve
force. Senator Weeks would have
similar reserve organized under the
state militias and urged laws to pro-
vide skilled military trainers for vol
unteers.
