"The institution today desires no formal

Attacks the Management.
DR. Matthews charged that the semi
nary authorities have acted false to
their moral, theological and legal
trusts by obtaining money from Pres
ovteriaDs for the maintenance Of an
institution. which. he says. does not
conform to the standards of the Pres
byterian Church. He charged that 81,
$4,000 has accrued TO ME seminary,
much OF which was obtained in re-
sponse 10 appeal based on the
ground that the Institution was en-
titled TO the financial support of Pres

OUR PREPAREDNESS
FOR War.
The Measure of the Army.
By Frederic J. Haskin.
By Frederic ]. Haskin

Should the United States go to war
tomorrow it would find that it had
available for immediate use an army of
about 10000 men.
The whole army of the United states
at present amounts to about $4,000 men.
The largest unit of these is that of
10000, which represents the mobile
forces in continental United States.
There are. in addition. $4,000 men sta
toned in the coast defenses of the ma
ton, who may not be taken from those
posts. This brings the total men under
arms in continental United states up to
$4,000. Then there are 10000 regular
troops in the Philippines and the 5000
Philippine scouts. In Hawaii there are
stationed 1000 troops, and on the Canal
Zone an additional 5000. There are in
cidental troops in Porto Rico and
Alaska Such is the disposition of the
regular army of the United States.
This army. although extremely small
for first-class power. is a model in
many respects. Each of Uncle SANS
soldiers costs him about sl.ooo year,
which is q great deal more than any
other government pays Its hghtlng
men. The American soldier is well
drilled. well armed and well cared for
He is thoroughly verSed In his GAZING
His officers are among the best edu-
Gated in the world
Back of this regular army stands the
organized militia. 1t numbers about
125, 900 men. This force may lawfully
be called upon to repel invasion: but
its members must volunteer before
they are available for all-round mill
tary service The militia are well
equipped, except in the matter of field
artillery. In this important branch
they are very deficient. Some of them
are not thoroughly trained. but all of
them know something of military
| science Thus the militia is not a per-
fectly drilled and equipped force, like
the regular army. but 1t would be a
| valuable adjunct to the latter in case
| of invasion.
| Besides the regular army and the
| militia, the United States has no
| trained soldiers. This is the matter in
| which we differ from practically every
/ other power. Almost every European
nation has a reserve of men who have
served certain term in the army, and
| are bound by law to respond to call
/ 70 arms. They can be put into the
field almost Immediately. The United
States government, when more troops
| are needed than the regular army and
| the militia can furnish, must call for
| volunteers. and then train them for
service.

Santa Claus up to Date.

Every year am tempted to come out on a housetop and tell the young and self raising generation the truth about Santa Claus.
 I believe it only right that the chil- dren should know Santa Claus no lon ger goes about in a dinky little sleigh, delivering toys down the chimneys He simply couldn't do it if he tried. That kind of thing was all right when his business was small and he was young CT than he is now. In those days he made the toys himself-glued even the little tails of the little toy sheep in place, stuck the little eyes on the tops of their little heads, painted the little bodies as different from the real thing as he could and do it quick. and then, hitching up his six reindeers. delivered the whole batch before sunrise Christ mas morning It is different now.
 Santa Claus Is old. and all he does is to live on the profits of the business The business now is run under the name of $. Claus & Co. and the firm has many workers-elerks, drivers and the rest. Some of the employees of this big firm have grown so careless that they miss little boys and girls who live in out of the way places. Old Santa Claus never did such q thing in his life.
 If any of our young people are over looked this year they must not blame Santa Claus He is just as jolly and good as ever. They'll have to blame it on the new driver that looks after their section of the earth
