A twelve-year-old girl told John ID.

by some OF Us boys aud girls. who each
subscribed 10 cents to the capital stock.
We buy school supplies-pencils and

GARRISON.
gress at the mex session for approx
mately $2J0.Oo0.o0o for the use of the
army.
When Secretary Garrison appointed
a committee of ranking officers To go
into the questions they presented the
various needs of the army from their
viewpoint and then advised the head of
the department that 1t would require
needs.
The secretary took the plans and an
alyzed them piece by piece until he has
finally cut the cost by S~350,O00.0o0.
As now worked out the plans provide
for an army built along the following
lines:
An immediate increase of between
25.000 and 10000 men and 1000 ofi-
GERS.
The present enlistment terms to be
changed to the short enlistment. with
a reserve provision which requires the

consist of 100000 trained men-125.0 900

The theory upon which this plan was
worked out was that the American
standing army should be for defensive
purposes only. In other words, it was
prepared upon the assumption that the
navy will be increased to such an ex-
tent that it can for a long enough time
protect the two coasts against attack
to give the army a chance to build up
a tremendous force with the 100000
men as a basis.
The plan provides for the enlarge
ment of the most important coas for

guns at the principal points.
