that there is not one, but what is a
I financial success and advent of this
company to Mobridge will be like
a new awakening as they will be
the cause Of a material drop in the

will be leased for period Of ten
years.
The site has not been selected
yet, but a committee has been
appointed for the selection of a
site and every indication points to
the Wrigley Lumber Yard as being
the most logical one; it is likely
the selection will he made the ear
ly part Of next week and that the
building will be completed yet this
lall.
The advent Of this company. is
considered the best thing that
has every happened to Mobridg5
and the men who were instrumen-
tia in working it up and making
it financial possibility, deserves
the unmitigated praise of the en-
tire community.

OF 100000 AND RESERVES;

fixed at 10000 men, the actual strength
Of the United States army. ON May a.
1918. the latest date for which complete
returns are on flc at the War Depart.
mcnt, being only some % 400 officers and
men, exclusive of the Philippine scouts
The size of the army was determined
many years ago when conditions were
totally different from those which now
exist BY the force Of circumstances, and
largely against our own yolitiOn, we
have become a world power and arc COM
PEELED TO station large portion of our
military force beyond the limits of the
United States. We have l2,Sl2 men in
the Philippines, not counting the Philip.
pine scouts; l,4l4 in China; 0,275 In
Hawaii, and G.l33 at the Panama Canal
which, with tine troops in Alaska and
Porto Rico make up some 81 900; and IL
is TO be observed that the numbers of
our troops in foreign stations are far be-
low what they should be TO insure ndc-
quate and proper defence. The garrison
at Hawaii in time of peace should be
$4,000 or 10000 men at least, and that
of the Panama Canal should also be in
creased considerably. When we have fig
ured up all the troops beyond the limits

same from the actual strength of the
army, together with some 10000 heavy
artillery troops whose pla Is in the for.
titications which they are TO defend, we
would have. without considering the
Mexican problem at all, only some 10000
men left Of a mobile army for the de-
fence of the country, and they are scat.
tered over an immense territory and
aas.II
siderable delay. If our mobile army, Ia
mere HANDFUL ms compared with the or.
ganizations of even any second rate Eu-
ropcan pOwer) were assembled, il would
not be a well-balanccd and thoroughly
efficient force, as Il would be woefully
lacking in artillery.
Army Should Be About 100000.
In my judgment the regular army
should be about $4,000, with system
of reserves which when called out would
increase u TO about double that number.
I say 100000 because we require some
10000 men on foreign stations, which
would leave 100000 men; and when we
deduct from that the number necessary
TO provide u coast artillery force of say
10000 we would have only 100000 men
left for mobile army--which does not
seem excessive, particularly when it is TO
be considered that the 10000 men do
not represent 10000 combatants, as the
enlisted men of the QuGrtermaster's
Corps. Ordnance Department and Medical
Department, together with the soldiers
on recruiting service, at the remount sta
tions and at the Military Academy must
be deducted
As you have been kind enough to con-
suit me in regard TO what you propose to
write, have thought it best to give YOU
the facts as I see them, and TO express
I frankly my opinions.
