which would fit them for useful
service in the professions and trades
OF peace, and incidentally qualify
them to act as officers in an army
OF volunteers, should it ever be
necessary 10 organize one.
Another strong argument in favor
OF this plan is its economy. 1t would
cost the government $2400 to give
each of these students a college edu-
cation and at the same time TO make
d we'll qualified officer in case or
war. The estimated cost of battle
ship is from $l5,000,0O0 to $18,-
100000, besides the heavy bills for
its maintenance and the expense of
its crew. For 100000 the war
department could give 1900 young
men four years college course and
at the same time train them to be-
come efficient military officers. Elk
perience has demonstrated that in a
few short years the most powerful
and up-to-date dreadnaught becomes
obsolete, Long after these $1S,OO0.-
600 battle ships have gone to the
scrap heap, these military students
would be rendering useful services
as citizens and, i'm case of war, as sol
diers.
Such preparation for defense
would not arouse the suspicion and
jealousy of other nations, as would
the building of mighty navy and
the recruiting of powerful standing
army, nor would it force them to
engage with us in never ending
race for naval and military suprem-
acy.
The best preparation for national
defense is to eliminate the profits of
private individuals from war; to
eliminate graft and extravaganza
from the expenditure of naval and
military funds; to maintain, as in
the past, a moderate sized but highly
efficient army and navy; to treat all
other nations with consideration and
fairness; to attend strictly to our
own business; to develop the in
ternal resources of the country; to
give the people such a good govern
ment that they will be willing and
| glad to offer their lives in its defense
and to afford to as many young men
as possible the opportunity to secure
the advantages of a college education
to lit them for useful citizenship,
with an incidental military training,
sufficient to prepare them to make
efficient officers and soldiers in case
of need.

\ SANE PLAN OF PREPAREDNESS

A powerful navy would be essen
tial to the waging of war of aggres-
sion by the United States. 1t would
be a great help, but not a necessity,
IN the defense OF the country against
invasion by any foreign power. The
people of this nation will never toll
crate the maintenance of a navy and
regular army large enough to abso-
lutely insure immunity from attack.
They will continue to place their
chief reliance for defense on the vol
unteers who would, in case of need,
flock to the colors. There are in the
United States enough men outside of
the regular army and the National
Guard, who have been drilled and
trained in the rudiments of military
tactics, to form powerful and. with
a lew weeks OF preparation, an ef-
ficient volunteer army. There would
be, however. a lack OF sufficiently
trained men to officer this army and
whip 1t into shape in the shortest
possible time But this deficiency
can be remodied without any tremen-
dous expenditure OF money or the
adoption of militarism.
One of the best preparedness plans
YET suggested provides for this very
contingency This plan, briefly stat
ed, calls for the enlistment each year
in every state of a fixed number.
say 200, of yonug men between the
ages of II and % years, who shall
be designated as military students.
Such students to enlist for period
of 10 years, four years of which
time are to be spent at an educa-
tional institution in the state where
they enlist to which a regular army
officer is attached and the curricu-
lum of which provides for military
training. The students so enlisted
TO receive from the department of
war such pay and allowances as are
established for privates of infantry,
amounting approximately to $500 a
year, out of which they are to main
tain themselves. The terms of en-
listment to obligate such students to
take at least one hour of drill or in
struction in military subjects each
day. Sundays and holidays excepted
and 10 spend their vacations in in
struction camps or army posts, as
ordered by the department of war.
They must also obligate themselves
10 serve six years in the Army Re-
serve after the completion of their
college courses, but while so serving
would not be subject to perform
ance of any military duties except in
case Of war In the event that any
students conduct or class standing
should not be satisfactory to the au-
thorities of the institution which he
attends or to the secretary of war
such student to be discharged from
the service.
The strong argument in favor OF
this plan is that instead of trans
FORMING citizens into regular soldiers
It would primarily give to thousands
Of poor but ambitious young men an
opportunity to secure an education

Pullman this fall indicates that the

fact that so many firms are seeking

WEEKLY COTTON GOODS.

more inactive in cotton goods markets this
week. but prices have held very steady.
Two leading numbers of A bieached cot
tons were placed at value preliminary to
an advance, after active sales were made

dising movement looked for in the trade is
the naming of prices on cotton blankets
for fall Of 1915. The year went out with
stocks Of these goods cleaned up in first
hands.
As wool blankets will be very dear for
next season because of the high price Of
wool and the active demand for export of
army grades, cotton blankets bid fair to
be Ia good demand. They will be cheaper
because OF lower cotton. Mills engaged on
print cloths and staple convertibles are
less inclined to sell contracts at prices
they will accept for spots. Southern staple
%ginghans have been advanced from the low
points and futures orders are being taken
subject tc ability to secure dye stuffs.
There has been a steady search in al
quarters Of the market for job lots Of cot
