For the Continental Army.

Ever since the Spanish war" he
said, there has been group of men,

season and out of season and always
without any great favor have dinned
the now apparent need for expansion
and improvement of the land forces
of the nation. Today as National

is due to the guard for nursing and
keeping alive in this country an es-
and appreciation of the truths Of mill
tary history when they were most
needed"
In outlining the gigantic task of
icy for the nation. the speaker said
the Swiss military system was not
adaptable to American needs. as the
federal government could not control
the school system of the country and
the Constitution provided for state
troops. while the Ausvalian system
would have taken too. long time
to turn out trained soldiers. Faced
with these problems. he added. the
originators of the policy had fallen
back upon what the President had
defined as "a citizenry trained and ac
customed to arms" and always ready
to take the field. This, he said was
the theory upon which was founded
the plan to organize Continental
army of 100000 men.
Secretary Breckinridge indicated that
new division of the general staff
probably would be created to handle
the affairs of the Continental army.
although many details of its admin
istration would remain under COM
manders of territorial departments of
the regular army. These departments,
he said, would be further subdivided
with states as territorial unit of
administration and by divisions as
tactical units.

Seized by French Cruiser.

The Dacia formerly belonged to the
Hamburg American line. After the out
break of hostilities she was purchased
by Edward N. Breitung and changed
her registry and became an American
ship. Laden with cotton destined for
Germany, she was on her way from the
United States to Rotterdam when
picked up by a French cruiser last
February and taken into Brest.
The seizure of the vessel later was
confirmed by a prize court, and the
cargo of cotton was purchased through
a special appropriation. In August nc
Dacia was sold through the prize court
and her new French owner renamed her
the User.
The vessel was of 3.545 tons gross,
and was built at Newcastle in 1893 She
was 335 feet long, As feet beam and "a
feet deep.
Made Test Voyage.
The Dacia sailed from the United
States for Rotterdam as a test ship
to determine the attitude of Great Brit
ian toward changes of registry after
the outbreak of hostilities. France in
seizing her claimed never to have
recognized changes Of flag during time
of war.
The American government, however,
took the position that while France ap-
piled that rule in the Dacia case, her
practice in the past had not been uni
form and that actually many changes
of registry had been tacitly acknowl-
edged.
1t has generally been considered that
claim for indemnity by the owners
of the Dacia would be supported by the
State Department. The requisitioning
of the vessel for use by the French
government. her change of name and
now her destruction will not affect the
status of such a claim should it finally
be presented. The case now Is in the
stage OF appeal from the prize court
decision.
