The Presidents Army Plans


In his speech at the Manhattan Club
last night President Wilson added lit
tie to the knowledge which the public
already had of his and Secretary Gar
rison's military preparedness pro-
gram. How the details OF the adj
ministration plan will work out no
one can tell just yet especially as
there is some chance that Congress
will amend the scheme in the parts
in which it is weakest. The Presi-
dents point of view may not control
in the end But it is pretty clear from
what he said last night that he has
not advanced, so far as army reor-
ganization is concerned. very far be-
yond the point at which he stood
when he wrote his annual message
to Congress a year ago.
This sentence is. perhaps, the key
note of Mr. Wilson's program: I'm ac-
cordance with our American traditions
we want and shall work for only an
army adequate to the constant and
legitimate uses Of times of interna-
tional peace" This means, trans
lated i'm legislation, provision for
only such an increase of the regular
army as will enable it to perform
routine peace duty in the Philippines
Hawaii, Alaska and the Canal Zone
and in Continental United States
Secretary Garrison asked for an in
crease of $4,000 men a year ago, be-
cause the mobile force in the United
States proper had been reduced to
24.6O2, a little more than twice the
size OF the New York police force.
He thought then that its total OF eff
fectives should be raised to 10000;
and that is all that the adminlstra-
ton program aims at now.
To supplement our little trained
army the President wishes to raise
a half trained or quarter trained
Continental army of 100000 men,
while retaining the services Of a third
body Of second line troops-the ma
tiOnalized militia-about equal in size
to the regular army The misconcep-
ton which underlies this preference
for raw or half-raw material to really
strained material corps out in this

GOOD FOOTBALL WORK.

Measured by that standard the Baltmoreans should
have been able 10 send to this city team that would
experience little difficulty in showing the local
players all over the field To the surprise of every
one the High School boys fought the visitors to
standstill and sent them home bruised and battered
and without the consolation OF having scored at any
stage OF the game.
The situation is that augurs i'll for the Chester

Protection is ground in the grain OF
Republicans, even including those who

1912, pressed it eagerly to the front

The Progressive Party
Iron the Washington Post)

In an official statement given out at,
the national headquarters of the Dem
ocratic party. it is admitted frankly
that the Progressive party which
brought about the election of the Dem
ocrats in 1912, and upon a smaller
scale in 1914, has at last vacated the
political field. The argument is adj
vanced, however that Democracy has
made large gains from the Progressive
ranks. II is pointed out that this is
indicated in Massachusetts, where
Gov Walsh polled the largest vote
ever given to a Democrat in this
State. while Mr. Mccall, the Republi-
can candidate, ran away behind the
normal vote given to Republican
nominees in recent years.
What is far more significant, how
over, is the fact that the Republicans
steadily have been regaining their
lost ground. Four years ago the de-
feat OF the Republican candidate for
governor in Massachusetts was fore
gone conclusion. The Republican
party was woefully divided. The Pro-
gressive party's candidate for Cover
nor. Mr.. Bird, this time actively sup
ported the Republican candidate and
the Progressive ticket received only a
few thousand votes. The great fun
damental difference between the Re
publican AM Democratic parties to-
day is the difference in their views
on the tariff.
This policy, affecting the prosper
Evening journal., 1915-11-08

is stigmatized as something profess
sional, something which ought TO be
set aside from the militia bodies as
not part of the nation" From either
the military or the political point OF
view that ancient heresy is the great
est possible menace to sound sys-
tenn Of national defense.
Instead of treating the standing
army as a mere body of mercenaries
il should be honored as a national
agency of the first rank. The entire
army should be nationalized, not
merely the more amateur parts of it.
It would be vastly better If we had
one coherent, co-ordinated national
army, instead of three armies differ
ent in quality, makeup and training
and incapable Of amalgamation except
after much friction and long delay.
TIL President said further: 1.-THE
chief cost of the system would not
be in the enlistment or training OF
men, but in the providing OF ample
equipment, i'm case il should be neces-
sary to call all forces into the field"
Here. again, the fallacy OF the ad-
ministration's plan is apparent. IL
puts the cart before the horse For
what would be the value of costly
equipment, supplied to masses OF only
partly trained troops, if there we're
no trained officers available to handle
those troops?
The crucial deficiency in our mill
tary system is its shortage OF trained
officers Everything else should be
subordinated to creating an ample
corps of educated officers, and it is
obvious that the porest possible way
to build up such a corps is to hold
down the strength Of the regular
army and at the same time TO or
ganize a much larger army of parti-
ally trained men, less than three
months in the field in any year, and
led by officers left for nine months
without professional employment.
The administration scheme would
be of far greater benefit to the coup-
try If il tried to make the regular
army as much "a part Of the nation
as the Continental army is expected
TO be, and if it altered the proper
lions of the two bodies so that the
regulars would number 100000 and
the Continentals 225,0O0. We earnest
ly hope that Congress will amend the
/ administration plan in those respects
