tional defence in the shadow OF the
great war in Europe.
The details of Secretary Garrison's
plan are not now published for the
first time. He calls the proposed
auxiliary force the continental army
instead Of Federal volunteers, and
the new name is preferable for OBJ
vious reasons. The strength of the
force. 100000. to be raised in "incre-
ments" of $4,000 a year, the short
periods of intensive training during
three years and the furlough for an
equal time terminating the enlist
ment. everybody is now familiar with.
Mr.. Garrison proposes that the regu-
lar army be increased gradually to a
strength, all branches and including
auxiliaries Hospital Corps, Quarter
masters Department, Commissaria) q,
of 10000 men, which would give the
continental United States $4,000 mo-
bile troops and coast artillery Of
10000 men. He would allow the
National Guard more Federal assist
ance than II now receives.
The cost of this system, including
appropriations for the National Guard,
would be S136.6S5,716 the first year
and S1S2, 2,234559 each year when in
complete operation. II would give
the country in an emergency an i'm
mediately available army of 100000
trained soldiers, exclusive of the Ma
tional Guard. AS to the question OF
the increased expense for our mill
tary forces. II was well said by Major
General William II. Carter in "The
American Armv" that with respect TO
outlay upon an organization Of Fed
eral volunteers the ultimate saving
in pensions alone would, in a great
war. meet all the expenses incurred
for its maintenance in time of peace"
Mr.. Garrisons continental army
would be a good insurance against
war.
There is also another point to be
considered, and it is one OF great inn
portance. The National Guard is
composed chiefly Of infantry, and
therefore it is not adapted to modern
scientific warfare. The continental
army would have the some organiza-
ton in all branches as the regular
army and would approximate closely
to il IN effectiveness without rehec-
ton upon the excellence of the Ma
tional Guard for the purposes it
serves.

CAUSE FOR REJOICING.

From the Dover State Sentinel
All friends Of education in Delaware
are rejoicing at the growth and prog
ress OF Delaware College, which with
the affiliated College for Women stands
at the head of our educational system.
DR.. S. c. Mitchell, who is now con-
Quoting the institution, has a broad
vision Of the work to be done. Re-
Gently, he said, in a public address.
that Delaware College desires not
merely to train the elect sons and
daughters of Delaware, but II wants
to lend assistance to the lone mother
in the rural district, to help the farm
ers, to reinforce the good roads move
ment public health. libraries. schools
and business interests of the city and
State. We would rather build solidly
than build fast"
This is a broad outlook and it is
the right one. Delaware College is a
State Institution and should have am
pie support from the State Treasury.
No money can be spent for a better
purpose, nor with better results. than
the money that is spent for education

An Adequate Army
(From the New York SUM-

The military policy which Secretary
Garrison proposes for the country
originated with the greatest Of all
American authorities, General Emory
Upton. His report upon the subject
is a classic. After studying our check
cred experience in war and giving
particular attention to the four years
struggle between the States, so costly
in life and treasure, he recommended
that the military system of the nation
should consist of the regular army.
Federal volunteers and the militia.
That was nearly forty years ago.
General Upton was not needed. The
Spanish war found us in a woeful
state OF unpreparedness, with a mo-
bile regular army of $4,000 men and a
half trained militia whose only func-
tiOn under the Constitution was, aside
from domestic law enforcement and
the assistance II might give in sup
pressing insurrection, the repelling of
invasion. AS the republic would never
tolerate large standing army Gen
eral Upton proposed an auxiliary
force which he called Federal volun-
teers, to be organized IN each Con-
gress district, supported by the ma
tional government, and subject to
summons by the President for service
outside the country, If necessary.
Both Secretary Of War Root and his
successor. William II. Taft, approved
Of the plan in outline. In 1912 it
was brought to the attention OF Con-
gress in bill that provided for the
organization of 100000 Federal volun-
teers with officers appointed by the
President. The bill passed the House
but met with defeat in the Senate be-
cause Of the opposition OF certain
Senators who were averse to taking
from Governors control OF volunteers
raised in the States and who even
argued that the bill was unconstitu-
tional. Mr.. Root took issue with
them in a powerful speech, pointing
out that whenever war comes we are
obliged to increase the army which
is not subject to the restrictions rest
ing upon the use Of the militia" and
maintaining that there was sanction
in the authorization in section of
Article l. "to raise and support
armies" for the organization of Fed
oral volunteers in time of peace. Now
IL has fallen to Secretary Garrison to
urge a comprehensive system of ma
