ton OF the United States every great

OF war and used as q part OF the ef-
fect.ve defense of their country Much
has been said in a general way about
the Swiss system which has been cited
by Colonel Roosevelt and other public
men as a model which the United
States could well afford to initiate
After the outbreak OF the European
war. Switzerland in three days mo-
hilized 100000 perfectly equipped
fighting men. most OF whom were
accustomed to using the army rifle
At the end Of three days. four army
corps were ready in every particular
OF organization, equipment and trans
port, to march against an enemy. In
addition to this force, Switzerland can
mobilize reserve OF 100000 men,
part of whom have served their time
with the active army. and $4,000 OF
whom are always armed In 1908.
Switzerland had about 3.b5g.00D In
habitants; In 1910. the United States
had more than $4,000, 900. In 1910
Switzerland spent approximately S.
0se,765 for her military establish
ment. while in the fiscal year OF 1909
1910 the United States military es-
Establishment cost $101.2e2.oss. The
next Congress must face the problem
OF extravaganza as well as that Of ma
tional defense. There can be no de-
NAL of the fact that the present mill
tary establishment, while woefully IN
complete and Ineffective. Is extremely
expensive. It costs half as much as
the German military establishment
without providing one-twentieth OF the
German efficiency.-Thomas r. Lo-

FOUR BArrI.EsHIP PROGRAM.
President Said to BE In Favor of
Heavy Graft.


Washington. Sept. 16.-President
Wilson will begin in earnest his prep
aration for the fight expected on the
national defense program at the next
session of Congress. September 20,
when he will confer with Chairman
Padgett. OF the House Committee Of
Naval Affairs. 1t Is expected that by
that time the President will have re-
ceived from Secretary Daniels a fair
ly definite statement OF the board q
views regarding the building program
and that he with be ready to discuss
with Mr.. Padgett ways and means for
securing with the least friction action
on the administration's program. The
President had brief conference with
Secretary Daniels today regarding the
problem OF national defense. No dis
closure OF the Presidents views was
obtainable. however.
There seems good reason for the
expectation that the program to be
presented to Congress by the President
win not overlook the fundamental i'm
portance of the battleship in modern
naval warfare for the sake of a spec
tacular submarine program. Persons
who are regarded as familiar in q
general way with the purposes In the
Presidents mind are confident that
there will be no sacrifice of expenses,
the number the President Is expected
to recommend being four.

Breaking Through Lines, They
Return With Big Prizes.

Vienna. Jan. 12.-One of the most dar-
ing exploits of the war is summarized
py the Austrian war office today. 1t
states that an Austrian patrol operat-
Ing at an important position on the
front succeeded in penetrating the main
line of the Russians.
The patrol pushed forward to the res
idence occupied by the Russian COM
mander. broke in and took the officer
and his guard Of six men prisoners. The
Austrians then successfully retraced
their steps to their own lines.
1t is stated that the fighting yester-
day was confined to the lower Nida.
where the Russians tried to cross the
low country bordering on the river to
assault the Austrian position. The
Austrian artillery had the complete
range of the territory and repulsed the
Russians with heavy losses
Elsewhere the fighting is confined to
artillery exchanges.
