Why should this not be reasonable way of de- creasing the per capita cost of our overeXpensive army, of increasing the number of men under training and of adding to the much needed reserve that the secretary of war is reported to have recommended in his forthcoming report?
 The trouble with congress is that il never has adopted Il definitely consid- cred military policy II has drifted aimlessly and followed hand to. mouth policy. As result We have paid the maximum for results which are not the minimum only because of the splendid personal of service.
 At this session of congress not only should the naval situation be faced frankly. but the army reorganization plan put forth by the general staff and war college within the year should be considered and set in motion. That plan is not conclusive, and we believe should be changed in some respects. It was drawn with perhaps too much thought of the unwilingness of con gross and the indifference of the public. Recent events will have created q more favorable atmosphere for attacking the whole subject of our notional defenses with thoroughness and candor--Chic- ago Tribune.

NEW YORK, June 1--Mrs. Charles
Booker spent four hours in the death
house In Sing Sing prison reviewing
with her husband plans for the plea she
will make to Governor whitman for
executive clemency. ......
Both realize that there Is no longer
any legal loophole to provide a stay
of sentence and that an appeal must
be made at the earliest possible mo

argument that Becker should not share
the same fate as the four gunmen who
fired the shots that killed Herman
Rosenthal
MY husband will not 'squeal' on any
