Virginia May Get School.

In discussing the probability and
advisability of moving the United
States School of Equitation from Fort
Riley. Kans.. to some point in Virginia.
the Richmond Journal says:
The government already has a re-
mount farm and breeding farm near
Front Royal. where some of the finest
stations in the world are kept with
view of improving the standard of
horses for the United States Cavalry.
and the cavalry officers generally
recognize the advantage of having
these two institutions contiguous"
The Warren Sentinel. of Front Royal
Va. OF June IS. speaking on the same
subject says: The opinion held by Of
ficials of the Front Royal Remount De-
pot is that should the Mounted Service
School be moved East, it could find
few locations having the advantage of
Front Royal. The railroad facilities
are excellent, and the proximity of the
remount depot would be of great bene-
fit to the school as 1t would enable its
officers to select their mounts from
several hundred horses. Moreover, the
student officers would have a splendid
opportunity of finding excellent mounts
at the end of their term and taking
them back with them to their respec-
tive regiments: also. experiments could
be made with various breeds of horses
to determine their fitness and endur-
ance as cavalry mounts. The site for
the school should be on level ground
with plenty of room for outdoor work.

could easily be secured in this neigh
borhood."

no emergency which would compel our
country to take arms against a for
eign foe. even though our land might
be invaded.
TT Is said. Also that IL we busy our
selves with military instruction 1t will
prevent our colleges and those OF us
who represent them from Identifying
ourselves with the peace movement of
the day. I do not believe this. / feel
that if our young men wisely inform
themselves concerning the possible
military duties which they may be
called upon to perform it will in no
wise work against the desire to main
tain peace in our land and to bring
about the day of universal peace for
all the earth. Preparedness and de-
sire for peace are not mutually exclu-
sive ideas. 1t is not only illogical, but
morally wrong to assume that all who
believe in wise preparedness are
therefore naturally to be regarded as
so much inflammable material at the
mere suggestion of war.
"a fourth objection is that 1t Will be
time for us to prepare for an emer-
gency when it comes: that the nation
will prove it's spirit and power in the
time of it's danger. This idea is folly.
All the experiences of the past in our
country and in foreign lands prove
that such fallacy must be paid Tor
dearly in the needless and wanton sac
rifice of the best blood of the youth
Of our nation, to say nothing or the
possible horrors which may come to
our defenseless women and children

Army of 100000 Possible.

Mai Gen. Leonard Wood, L. s. A.,
spoke at the Harvard Club in Boston re.
Gently on military training. He SAID
that there never has been and never viii
be time when the citizens of this coun.
try will fail to respond to call to armf
in national emergency; the great need
of the country in time of war is certain
to be men well enough trained to be Il
once given commissions. The camps ID
be held at Plattsburg. under the direction
of United States army officers, offers the
opportunity for college men to obtain
this training. The camp will give this
men who attend a knowledge of military
equipment. of how to care for their phys
ical condition. of hygiene. sanitation. and
the care of their feet. A man can learn
how to shoot very quickly. and so this
part of the training is not so important
as to know how to march and care for
the body.
The speaker said that already 600 coll
lege men have agreed to attend the camp,
and he urged his audience to investigate
the matter and, If possible. to Co. He
did not urge great standing army. say
ing that at present the United States can
put an army of 10000 men in the field
IN a crisis These men are fairly veil
trained. and in a short time would be
the equal Of any army in the world. In
addition another 500, 900 men could be
trained in a brief interval.
