NEW AGE OF ELECTRICITY
No One Can Say What Advances Are
Yet to he Made.

We may be on the verge of startling
developments In electricity. The engi-
neers of the American Telephone and
Telegraph company, headed by John j.
Carly, have made 1t possible to talk by
wire and wireless from New York to
Honolulu and Paris Nikola Tesla is to
share the Nobel prize In physics with
Edison and thinks that it is for his re-
cent discoveries in the wireless trans
mission Of electrical energy. What these
things may mean to the future life of our
race cannot be clearly imagined. But we
think the great electrical service of the
last fifteen years has consisted in the
tireless. detailed working out of the APP
pication of this agent to the needs of
daily life.
Our country has been gridroned with
telephones and troleys; thousands of
generating stations have been put to
work; railroad terminals have been made
cleaner and almost indefinitely more eff
ficient; and countless inventions have
brought electricity into the constant ser
vice of business and of the home This
process has gone on so quietly and stead
lily. and with such cumulative effect, that
1t takes a distinct effort to recall what
things were like before these uses of
electricity became so many and so uni
versal. The miracles of yesterday are
the habits Of tomorrow.
The public problems of regulation and
control must be viewed from this stand
point Of unceasing growth. for the SUI
preme public interest concerning cleo
tricity Is that the possibilities of the fu-
ture shall be realized, that this force
shall become an even more basic factor
In our everyday life. This is a matter,
not of cutting financial melons, but of
founding a new sort Of civilization. We
are only at the beginning of the age
Of electricity. and no one can say what
advances are yet to be made.-Collier $

GARRISON Wants GAPS
IN THE ARMY FILLED UP
Recommends that Organizations b
Increased to Strength Necessary
for Field Service.

Filling up the existing organizations OF
the army to the strength which would
be necessary in case of their being called
upon to serve in the field is recommended
most earnestly by Secretary Of War Gar
TisOn in a letter to Senator Chamberlain,
OF Oregon. chairman of the Military Az
fairs Committee, who has introduced a
bill for this purpose.
The measure provides for the addition
of l,OOO officers and 962S enlisted men TO
the strength of the mobile army. and au-
thorize5 the President to maintain the
army to the maximum authorized
strength of 10000 at all times.
THE officers to be added by this bill, -
says the Secretary in his letter. ARE re-
quired to insure the presence of the
proper number of officers with the or
ganization of the army; and to meet the
increasing demands for services of Off
GERS with the organized militia, educa-
tiOnal institutions, students training
camps, &c"
OF the proposed increase in the enlisted
strength ne says:
1T would supply a more adequate force
in the mobile army in the continental
United States. though this force would
still be very small. 1t would afford train
ing for the officers in command of such
units as they must command in time of
war and would prevent. as far as the
regular army IS concerned, the filling of
the ranks with raw levies. which always
disorganize and render inefficient the or
ganiZations into which they come"
