OUR CHANCE IN CASE OF WAF
Is the United States at the Mercy of
Any Invader?

(From the New York Commercially
If this great nation is at the mercy
of any invader, as some former army
officers are saying, why is it that three
real invaders-Russia, France and
Great Britain-are unable to crush
poor little Turkey and capture Con-
stantinople right off the reel? They
are on the ground. A great ocean
does not lie between them and their
feeble prey, yet the road to Constan-
tinople, short as it is, is no joy ride.
New York and Boston are defended
by better and heavier guns than the
Turks possess. In spite of all that our
alarmists say, a hundred thousand
soldiers cannot be landed quickly or
easily at any unprotected point along
our coast.
Ocean transports need ocean ports.
Before an invading army can be land
ed in this country. suitable port must
be captured.
No great power except the British
Empire can drive our navy from the
seas, and we hold Canada as a hostage
for peace in that quarter. War with
Great Britain is the remotest of all
possibilities. With her neutral, no
other power or combination of powers
could get near us except in the Philip
pines. We are to have combined army
and naval maneuvers near New York
this summer. Let the experiment be
tried of landing troops from ocean
going ships at some undefended point
along our coast and let the newspaper
reporters see it done. When the time
is recorded and the number of men
landed is counted, we will stop worry
ing about finding an army of hun
dred thousand horse. foot and artil-
lery dumped on our coast overnight
If an army did land in this way at
some unprotected point and storm
came up, il would starve in a week
No foreign power will ever take the
risk.
Our army system should be reform
ed by doing away with interior posts
Our regulars should be kept where
they can do the most good and our
militia system needs reorganization;
but these things do not entail added
expenditures; they simply call for the
honest and wise spending of the pres
ent appropriation of a quarter of bill
lion dollars year for defense. That
is large Sum-more than this coun'
try ever spent in the past except in
time of war-and we should be getting
better results If 1.-THE of what some

Isn't it about time for you people
to be thinking about your season
ticket to the chautauqua? You young
people have time to attend every en-
tertainment of the whole week about
thirty in all, and you will get lasting
store of help and entertainment from
them. You will have better idea
and appreciation of good music, a
wider understanding of literature, and
nobler conception of life.
When the average cost of these
entertainments is only seven or eight
or nine cents apiece it would be re-
grettable to miss them. The way to
get them at this price, rather than pay
fifty cents to dollar for some OF
the best ones that you will attend
anyway. is 10 get season ticket be-
fore noon of the opening day.
While that is some time away, now
IS the time to get busy. Cut out some
thing here and there and you will soon
save the money ticket will cost
Some of you men can smoke one cigar
a day less and besides being better
off for it you will have saved the
price of a season ticket for yourself
and your wife. The young people can
practice some economy and attain
The same result. or hustle a little
harder and make extra money.
Be assured that you will want that

you will have it.

SILoS ON THE BOISE PROJECT

The shortage of clover due to win
ter killing and the possible shortage
of water is making many project
farmers anxious for their forage sup
ply for the coming year. In some
cases these conditions are going to

ttable, since corn that has already
been planted on old clover ground
may not be able to mature with the
amount of water available. while it
would make valuable feed if put into
