THE figures have given, it seems to me, sufficient
to convince any impartial student that this coun-
try is safe and military basis that do not
depend in time of emergency the regular army of
IS 900 men, that have what in reality tremendous
body of trained to go into privates Off
GERS and that all this true in spite of the fact that
the public is not subjected to that burdensome
ton which has impoverished the of Europe for
the sake of supporting their machines
At the outset of this article l mentioned the fact
that the present bloodshed and consequent mpover-
ishment of Europe enough to shear the 3war
terror of all the picturesque dangers the mitariss
have given it. There is other thing along this
same line,-the fact that geographically the United
States is practically impregnable Its very vastness is
enough to assure the impossbility of conquest by
hostile nation. We are, in all important respects,
self-suffcient nation. We can produce all that we
need to eat, all that need to wear We
facture ammunition and weapons. We
weather. than any other part of the world And it is
long march from New York Harbor to San Francisco
Bay, not to mention the distance from Chicago to
New Orleans
It would be interesting to hear the estimate made by
the mtarists of just how many hostile country
would have to throw into midst for the purpose of
beating and conquering personally have never
heard such estimate. 1 doubt if anybody
has been able to imagine it. much less to figure it out
Also before any could get here, they would have
to traverse thousands of miles of water, and would
have to overcome our fleets, escape submarines,
OUR harbors.
The lessons of the European are being studied
and learned by experts. The efficiency of subma
rnes, the deadly effect of carefully laid mines, the
parison of the battleshp with the torpedo,al these
things are now being mulled over every day in the
Navy Department We definitely embarked on
the policy of maintaining great and powerful navy
Last year Congress appropriated for submarines
than requested by the Secretary of the Navy.
Unquestonably there will be another generous appro
praton for similar purpose in this session. Isolated
as we are, safe in our vasness, protected by great
navy, and possessed of army sufficient for any
emergency that may arise may disregard the lamen
tations and predictions of the mitarists.
The mention of submarines reminds that, the
navy is being amply provided with this branch of her
fighting apparatus, the army is forging to the
front among the powers in the development of aviation
military science. Last July the House Committee
Military Affairs reported to the House bill, which
became law, creating the aviation squadron The
committee also reported BILL which enacted into
law, appropriating S25OOOO for the purchase of the
best and newest-type aeropanes 1 refer to this be-
cause it is an example of the fact that this country

means that every year there are being returned into
the body of civilians 900 men who have learned
military tactics and military training; in other
Words expert soldiers In the organized militia there
are about 10000 men, and at conservative estimate
it can be stated that 10000 of them after serving
their full term of enlistment, discharged each year.
This provides an annual total of 1000 men who
return to civilian life each year after having been
trained soldiers in the regular army and the State
militia.
But there is still another source whence come young
who have had good military training. I refer to
the military schools and colleges. These-without
reference to the high schools in which military training
is feature-turn out each year at least $4,000 who
know about fighting, drilling, and marching. They
bring the annual supply of trained soldiers in this
country up to $1,000. The product of the military
school college does not get thorough training,
of course, given at the West Point Academy; but
it is thorough enough to make soldiers out of them in
very short time.
After ALL therefore, not poor in actual mill
tary reserves many would have believe. 1t
be safely asserted that the United States contains
men ready to go to with military training behind
them than is the case in any other country where
compulsory military training does not obtain
1t has been asserted that, while may have the
men, could not find the requisite number of officers
in case of a war emergency. Right here it might be
well to point out that, when the Civil War started,
Norwich University furnished in its graduates many
drill masters and commanding officers for the North
eTn army, just as the virginia Military Institute
performed the function for the Southern army.
An inspection of the records in the War Department
will show how these schools contributed to the brill
lance and effectiveness of their respective armies. This
l mention example of the real efficiency of the
numerous military colleges scattered throughout the
country.
But even if enough officers could not be obtained
from such sources there need be any for worry
the part of the mlitarists. To foresta any posi-
bity of shortage in officers at any tme K. D. Nc
Kellar of Tennessee, a member of the House Com
mttee Military Affairs, has introduced bill which
is expected to have the sanction of Congress and be
voted into law 1t provides for the establishment of
military training school in each State, each school to
be financed, two-hrds by the federal government and
one-third by the State government Each will have
its commandant officer of the United States
army. When all these State military training schools
in full operation, it is calculated they will turn out
every year 5000 young trained in all branches
of military science. These graduates will not have,
perhaps the perfect training of West Point, but they
will be amply instructed for the duty of commanding
troops whenever they needed. They will be quail
fed in every particular for the successful discharge of
the duties of company officers.

satisfactorily solved by anybody Its proposed among
other things, to have short enstments, and thus
turn out each year large number of who will be
trained soldiers. Let us examine this for moment
and see where it will lead, and whether any good will
come of it, either for the army for the country.
After giving this question of reserve for the army
the most careful thought after having heard the opn-
ions of many officers of ary,and those too best
qualified to give opinions matter of this sort,-l
am convinced that, under system of military
lstment, it is mpractcabe to accumulate, with either
a 1ong-term or short-term enlistment period, a
dependable force of fairly well trained
To army training school would destroy
the army as such and fail utterly to create any
that could be depended upon as large body of
troops
The proposal of the General Staff of the army has
been that the should enlist for years and then
spend five years in the The five years in the

compulsory military service and because it is in

men, And it is open-andshut proposition
that cannot be expected to enter the vol
unfairly, without pay, when the regulations would
require them to submit to such inconvenience apply
ing to the department for leave GO from State
to another into foreign country, and when they
would be compelled to attend maneuvers, often at
distant points, at least twice year.
Much has been said about other systems, notably
that of the Swiss; but Switzerland has compulsory
military service and it is useless to attempt to fashion
ourselves upon a system tnaC cannot De introduced
here-a system that is repulsive to the genius and
traditions of people. The evils of the short enlist
ment term in army under the voluntary system
manifold; not the least of them being that, enlist

army would be mob of recruits, and fail at any
time that might need real army.
Moreover, with present system of four-year en-
hstments, it is hard enough to keep the army up to
the size desired, about So 600 men, and it easy
how much harder it would be to practically
whole army every year, or to get enough recruits to
take the places made vacant by the expiration of
stments every twelve months. The short enlistment,
according to the overwhelming sentiment in Congress,
is impossible and vicious, and it would not

IS LOST IN MID-ATLANTlC

Rome, Nov. 10.--News reached Rome
that the Italian liner Ancona, which
sailed from Genoa a few days ago
with 339 passengers in the steerage
and large number of first-class pas
sengers, has been sunk in mid-Atlantic.
100 Lives Reported Lost.
One hundred lives are reported lost.
Details of the disaster are meager,
and confined to the announcement OF
the Italian ministry of marine that
the vessel has been lost.
The loss of life may have been in
finitely greater than at first reported,
as the ocean lane piled by the An
coma between New York, Philadel-
phia, Genoa and Naples is not greatly
travelled at this time of the year and
ships responding to the Ancona's sig
nails of distress would be compelled to
steam for many miles before reaching
her.
Attributed to Submarine.
\. While the cause of the disaster is
shrouded in mystery, it is believed in
Rome that the sinking was the work
of German submarine The German
U-boats have been at their work Of
destruction off the coast of Spain for
several days, Japanese ship having
been sunk off Gibraltar last week.
These submarines may have been ly-
ing in wait for one of the big Italian
liners.
The fact that the Ancona was bound
for America makes it unlikely that
any American citizens were aboard,
although it is quite possible that some
Americans may have boarded her at
Genoa on the return from Germany
via Switzerland. She arrived at Ge-
noa from New York on October 10.
Captain Massardo was in command
when the vessel left New York.
Owned by Italians.
The Ancona was steel twin-screw
steamer Of $40 tons, with two decks
and spar deck, and fitted with WIRE
less. She was owned by the Italian
line (Societa di Navigazione a Va
pore), and registered at Genoa. She
wassbuilt in Belfast in 1908.
