What the Country Really Needs
In the Way of an Army
lFrom the New York Tribune.l

In his speech at the Republican
Club on Saturday Secretary Garrison
amplified to some exDnt the recon-.
mendations which lie made i'm his
recent annual report. He said that
the country needs as a first line of
defence an army of from 100000 10
100000 men. Most of this strength
would be. of course, in the regular
army reserve, since it is the Secre-
tary's idea that the regular estab-
lishment does not need to be en-
larged much above its present legal
limit of 100000. But the creation
of genuine, efficient reserve of 250.-
600 to 100000 men is, in his opinion,
the essential feature OF any rational
scheme of army reorganization.
II is not surprising to find Mr.
Garrison. whose ideas on military
policy are always intelligent and
practical, cutting away from the
theory that the United States can
afford to depend for protection on
its "citizenry." hurriedly summoned
to arms That is the theory which
has proved so costly in all the wars
OF the past. An adequate trained
army, available at the beginning Of
a war, is worth much more for mill
tary purposes than an army two CT
three times its size recruited in dis
order and not available until six
months or a year after hostilities
have begun.
AS the conduct of war has become
largely a matter Of scientific organ.-
zation and the quick assembling of
vast resources, preparedness counts
more heavily than it ever did be-
fore. If we had to meet an invader
capable of landing good sized army
on our coasts. the success or failure
Of the invasion would probably be
determined within three months.
Some of our cities would certainly
f8ll into the hands Of the enemy il
we had lost control of the sea, since
the mobile army now available, sup
plomented by state militia organiza-
tions, could not be concentrated in
sufficient strength at any point 20
rcpel a well conducted attack. We
might create vast armies later and
recover the ground lost. But prac-
tically all the damage which we have

EDITORIAL OPINION

late Mr.. French did not put a high
value upon peace. The reputation
he achieved was a source of pride 20
him, although there are many per-
sons who would not have so regaT-
ded it.
There was nothing. apparently,
which he enjoyed more than the du-
bious conspicuousness which was his
as a result of his having been the
leader of the faction which bore his
name in the French -Eversole feud.
He referred TO il as a war" and ap-
parently regarded himself as its Ma
poleon.
A CHEEKY little man. full of anec-
dote and Jest much inclined to COM
pany and fond of doing his share as
an entertainer Of company. he en-
ioyed life as fully as anyone. If any
thing lay heavy upon his conscience
as a result of his participation in
"War"-he sometimes called il my
war'-the bearing of the weight was
not apparent in his demeanor. Upon
one occasion he told group of news
paper correspondents that the only
csonts of his life which caused him
twinges of conscience was that he
once as a small bay, drowned a hen
by trying to teach II to swim. He
thought often, in later years, how
cruel he had been. But at the time
he was confident that if he persisted
and the hen realized the necessity
for swimming. the lesson would be
successful. and the only aquatic hen
in the neighborhood would be proud
OF her peculiar accomplishment.
Nothing. he asserted. that ever hap
pened TO an Eversole was of such
nature as to cause him a moments
worry.
The substantially of the peace be-
tween the French and Eyersole fami-
lies which followed the reduction of
the Eversole strength to a point at
which the probabilities of continued
conflict we're such as to discourage
the thoughtful tactician. was a mat
ter of pride to the retired leader of
the Trenches. A former Eversole
partisan kept a barber shop in Jack
son. and one of his regular patrons
during the Jett-White trial for the
murder of James p. Marcum, and
[ the subsequent trials involving Judge
Hargis, was B. Fulton French. A
! standing invitation issued by Mr..
/ French and smilingly seconded by
the barber brought a good many

tacle of a former leader Of Perry

I BARRIERS chair while a former BUSH
whacker for the Eversoles deftly
passed the razor over the trusting

To Keep The People Informed
CFrom The New Yort SUM

Why should there not be a perma-
ncnt commission to keep the people
OF the United States informed about
the strength and equipment of the
army and navy for defence? Mr..
Lodge in his exhaustive speech in

commission of nine to inquire into
the state of the military forces, for
the information of the country, three
members to be appointed by the

in whose ability. honesty and go0d

COMMISSION.
From the Providence Journal
Another fool commission with

thus an observer hastily passes iudg-
mont on the perambulating Federal
commission on Industrial relations.
Critics should restrain themselves.
The commission is one of the agen-
cies of an administration devoted TO
the service of mankind-though in
partial extenuation, it Is fair TO re-
mark that the second Taft Congress
created it. Let us wait awhile,
though The industrial relations in
vestigators are engaged just now in
oxpending an appropriation OF only
a quarter million dollars. They may
hope to cost the country many mill
lions before a Congress comes in
that has spunk enough TO abate them.
When the work of the commission
is concluded, if it ever is. shall we
not have more than five foot shelf
OF bulky volumes which will explain
all our industrial troubles, and tell
us how to settle them? That has
already been explained and told, to
be sure. in countless official reports
and documents. But the capacity of
the government printing Office has
not yet reached its limit.

both services and strengthen tenn
porarily the national defences; but
how long would it be before the in
terest of Congress in the matter
waned and the people were lulled
into the old false sense of security?
At this session there will be a GER
tain amount of army and navy legis-
lation i'm response to urgent recon-

that publicity has exposed alarming
deficiencies. but it will fall far short

to fear from foreign invasion would
have been done by that time.
The only way to guard against the
probable disasters of a war with a
first class military power. whose
feet is capable of defeating our
fleet, is to create an adequate first
line army. That is not the work Of
a single year. Therefore MIR. Garri-
son aims at getting, first, an addi-
tion TO the regular army of 25,OOO
men and 1000 officers. Then he
wants to make a start at establishing
a real reserve, which will grow as
men from the regular service arc
shifted into it after short enlistments.
Material must also be accumulated
with which to fit out the reserve in
case of emergency. But material
can easily be acquired while the re-
serve is forming.
The Secretary has had the good
Judgment to insist on the short term
of enlistment as the best means Of
increasing our military efficiency. If
the regular army is used as a train
ing school. and men with an interest
in military life can quit after they
have learned the business of soldier
ing. the stock of available reserves
will be quickly multiplied. The long
term enlistment is good only for the
purposes of a small standing army,
and Congress has clung to it only
because it mistakenly thought that
it was rejecting public sentiment in
keeping the army small and cutting
it off from contact with the COM
munity in general. How much it is
cut off is shown by the fact that tho
present army has thrown off a re-
serve of just sixteen men.
That vicious. old-fashioned idea Of
segregation must be fought if Mr.
Garrison's plans are to bear fruit
He has brought persuasivoness and
common sense to the administration
of the War Department, and there
is no reason why Congress should
not follow his recommendations HC
Is discreet enough not to try to ac-
ccmplish too much at one stroke. but
nevertheless he has in view that very
radical reconstruction of the military
system which is absolutely needed tC
guarantee our national security.
