Possession Of Strength
Adequate For Pro-
lection Not Militarism
By HENRY S. BRECKENRIDGE,
Assistant Secretary of War

THOSE who stand for the
strengthening of the national
defenses admit that prepara-
.ion for war does not prevent war,
BUT INSISTS THAT 1T DOES
PREVENT CERTAIN YER Y
DIRE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT
BEING PREPARED.
There is nothing to fear for the
courage and steadfastness and ca
pacity for self sacrifice of the
American people. But there is
cause for concern that the nation
may be so circumstanced as to its
defenses that undue weakness could
not tempt either the covetous or i'll
disposed, if such there be, to ag-
gression against us.
Our army is deficient in person
mel and material, neither of which
can be improvised. But the dis
ar.ner would raise the cry Of mill
tarism and fog the issue with his
ratings.
THE POSSESSION OF STRENGTH
ADEQUATE FOR DEFENSE is NOT
MILITARIsM. MILITARlsM Is THE
IMPROPER USE OF THE IDEALS
AND AMBITIONS AND PURPOSES
BEHIND THE STRENGTH.

Two ladies' met at a western town
where there was a divorce colony.

them to the other.

since we parted on commencement day

Mrs. Gertrude Smith and Mrs. Mar
garet Jones were at least fortunate In
possessing very common names-in this
that they were better able to lose
themselves in a place where all tran
silent residents were known to be ac-
quiring citizenship that would enable
them to get divorces. The two Women
compared notes as follows:
Mrs. Smith had soon after leaving
college met a man who seemed to her
to be perfection. He was affable, In
telligent and prominent as a man. He
had deferred to her In everything I'M
til they We're married; then he had
changed. Where before he had assur-
ed her that her will was law with him,
no sooner had they returned from the
honeymoon than he opposed her in ey-
erything. Unreasonable was no word
for it. She had studied his comfort In
every way she could think of. IL there

For these attentions she expected some
return. Her sister. Mabel. poor girl.
had no home, and the wife wished to
have her with her. But Mabel irritat-
ed the husband, and he had declared
that she should not come there again
when he was at home. Then there

At this point Mrs. Jones broke in.
"You have described my husband ex-

mother-inlaw, and my husband is as

ficulty is the reverse of yours. He in

child living. | will give her credit for
being cheerful, and she doesn't inter
fere with me at all. But / married
her son and not her, and | will not be
imposed upon by having her with me
day in and day out"
Thus did these much abused women
pour their troubles into each others
ears. neither of them realizing that
she was telling a story as old as the
rite of marriage itself. But neither Of
them confessed the real reason why
she had given up trying to get on I'M
der the matrimonial yoke. The rea-
nj why that yoke was unpleasant
were plentiful, but the one main eason
why they had decided to throw it off
was not mentioned by either. When
Mrs. Smith had asked Mrs. Jones If
she thought she would ever marry
again after having secured her di-
vorce she had thrown up her hands,
exclaiming:
"Heavens, mol Once is enough for me-"
And Mrs. Jones declared that if she
was eyer freed from her present hus-
band she would never take another.
But as time passed a constant com
partnership brought condolences. Mrs.
Smith one day, while cataloguing her
husbands different methods of making
her miserable, incidentally spoke of a
man who WIS his very opposite in his
treatment of women. She had been
thrown with him intimately and had
always found him ready to give way to
her In all those little matters in which
a woman expects a man to humor her.

About midnight was the time ap-
pointed for Gideon's attack. The

siderable space near the Midianites.
In addition to their usual armOr. each

instructions were that those immedi-

 MT. Ford expects to So to Copenhagen in a week.
 The newspapers, in commenting edi- torially on the Ford peace mission, ex- press little hope for the success of it.
 The Verdens Gang, after saying that the expedition will live in history, adds:
 "'The great industrial organizer has un- dertaken a gigantic task seemingly with out a definite plan. His peace plan seems without sslape and not worked out. The delegates appear to know nothing about it. The purpose is greatly admired, but is unfortunately is vague. Nevertheless it will figure in history
 The other newspapers comment in a similar vein.
 Owing to his indisposition MT. Ford has decided to postpone the departure of the peace party for Stockholm. It was planned to start for that city on Wednes- day, but it probably will be several days before MT. Ford is well enough to travel. It is stated that he is not seriously i'll. merely fatigued after the long sea voyage.
