are the additions necessary to render
the army adequate for its present du-
ties, duties which 1t has to perform
not only upon our own continental
coasts and borders and at our interior
army posts, but also I'm the Philippines.
In the Hawaiian Islands. at the 18TH
mus and in Porto Rico.
By way of making the country ready
to assert some part of its real power
promptly and upon larger scale
should occasion arise the plan also
contemplates supplementing the e(army
by force of 100000 disciplined citi-
zens, raised in increments Of $4,000 a
year throughout a period of three
years. This 1t is proposed to do by a
process of enlistment under which the
serviceable men OF the country would
be asked to bind themselves to serve
with the colors for purposes Of train
ing for short periods throughout three
years and to come to the colors at call
at any time throughout an additional
"furlough" period Of three years. This
force of 100000 men would be pro-
vided with personal accouterments as
fast as enlisted and their equipment
for the field made ready to be supplied
at any time. They would be assem-
bled for training at stated intervals at
convenient places in association with
suitable units Of the regular army.
Their period of annual training would
not necessarily exceed two months In
the year.
The president says 1t is up to the
patriotic young men of the country to
respond to this call.

Of individual liberty and of the free
labor that supports life and the un-
censored thought that Quickens 1t.
Conquest and dominion are not in our
reckoning or agreeable to our princi.
pies. But just because we demand un-
molested development and the undis-
turbed government of our own lives
upon our own principles of right and
liberty, we resent, from whatever
quarter it may come. the aggression we
ourselves will not practice. We insist
upon security in prosecuting our self
chosen lines Of national development.
We do more than that. We demand 1t
also for others. We do not confine our
enthusiasm for individual liberty and
free national development to the Incl
dents and movements Of affairs which
affect only ourselves. We feel it wher-
ever there Is people that tries to walk
In these difficult paths of independence
and right. From the first we have
made common cause with all partisans
OF liberty on this side the sea and have
deemed 1t as important that our neigh
bors should be free from all outside
domination as that we ourselves should
be; have set America aside as q whole
r6f the uses Of INDEPENDENT nations and
political freemen:'"
Out of such thouEhts grow all our,
policies. We regard war merely as d
means of asserting the rights of peo-
pie against aggression. And we are
as fiercely Jealous Of coercive or dicta-
torial power within our own nation
as Of aggression from without. We
will not maintain a standing army ex.
cept for uses which are as necessary
in times of peace as in times of war.

Increase Standing Regular Force-Four
Hundred Thousand Citizen Soldiers.
But war has never been q mere mat
ter OF men and guns. 1t is a thing
OF disciplined might. If our citizens
are ever to fight effectively upon q
sudden summons, they must know
how modern lighting is done, and what
to do when the summons comes to
render themselves Immediately avail.
able and Immediately effective. And
the government must be their servant
In this matter. must supply them with
the training they need to take care of
themselves and Of it. The military
arm Of their government, which they
VIII not allow to direct them, they may
properly use to serve them and make
their independence secure, and not
their own independence merely, but
the rights also Of those with whom
they have made common cause, should
they also be put in jeopardy. They
must be fitted to play the great role
In the world. and particularly i'm this
hemisphere. for which they are quail

the plans Of the department. OF war for

THE POPULAR BUG SONG.

In these days of indigestion
1t is oftentimes a question
AS to what to eat and what to leave
alone;
For each microbe and bacillus
Has a different way to kill us,
And in time they always claim us
for their own.
There are germs of every kind
In any food that you can find
In the market or upon the bill of
fare.
Drinking waters just as risky
AS the socalled deadly whiskey,
And it's often mistake to breathe
the air. y
Though a radish seems nutritious
Some little bug is going to find yd
some day,
Some little bug will creep behind yd.
some day, l.
Then he'll send for his bug friend
And all your earthly trouble ends
Some little bug is going to find yoj
some day.
The inviting green cucumber
Gets most everybody's number,
While the green corn has system
of it's own; -,
Though radish seem nutritious
It's behavior is quite vicious,
And a doctor will be coming to your
home.
Eating lobster cooked or plain
Is only flirting with ptomaine, 81
While an oyster sometimes has lot
to say,
But the clans we eat in chowder
Make the angels chant the louder,
For they know that We'll be with
them right away.

y OLLOWING Is the message OF
President Wilson delivered. at
Joint session of the senate and

house ut the beginning of the
cixty-fourth congress-:
Gentlemen of the Congress-Since
nst had the privilege of addressing
you on the state Of the Union the war
~f nations on the other side of the sea.
(which had then only begun to disclose
Its portentous proportions. has extend
ed its threatening and sinister scope
until it has swept within its flame
some portion of every quarter of the
globe. not excepting our own hemi-
sphere, has altered the whole face of
international affairs, and now presents
prospect of reorganization and re-
construction such as statesmen and
peoples have never been called upon
to attempt before.
The president tells how this country
practiced neutrality and declares that
he hopes that when the time comes
for readjustment and recuperation this
country will be of infinite service Re-
ferring to Central and South American
problems. the president declares that
we should retain unabated the spirit
which has inspired us throughout the
whole life of our government and
which was so frankly put into words
by President Monroe.
We have been put to the test in the
case Of Mexico, and we have stood the
test. Whether We have benefited Mex
leo by the course we have pursued re-
mains to be seen. Her fortunes are In
her own hands. But we have Mt least
proved that we will not take advan.
tage Of her in her distress and under.
take to impose upon her an order and
government Of our own choosing. Lib
erty is often a fierce and intractable
thing, to which no bounds can be set
and to which no bounds Of few
mems choosing ought ever to be set.
Every American who has drunk at
the true fountains of principle and tra.
dition must subscribe without rescrva
ton to the high doctrine Of the Vir
gjhia bill of rights, which in the great
days in which our government was set
Iss eyeryyghere among us accept.
fh e creed OF free men. That doc
fneTts, ''That government is or ought
- be instituted for the common benc
? ut. protection and security of the pco
pie, nation or community" that of
all the various modes and forms OF
government, that is the best which is
capable Of producing the greatest de.
gree Of happiness and safety and Is
most effectually secured against the
danger Of maladministration. and that
when any government shall be found
inadequate or contrary to these pur.
poses majority of the community
hath an indubitable, inalienable and
indefeasible right to reform. alter or
abolish 1t in such manner as shall be
judged most conducive to the public
veal" We have unhesitatingly ap.
piled that heroic principle to the case
Of Mexico and now hopefully await
the rebirth of the troubled republic.
which had So much OF which to purge
itself and so little sympathy from any
outside quarter in the radical but nee
essary process. We will aid and be-
friend Mexico, but we will not coerce
her, and our course with regard to her
ought to be sufficient proof to all Amer.
lea that we seek no political suzerainty
or selfish control.

!. c. c. TO GRANT HEARING
ON COMMODITY RATES
Evidence From Washington Com
mercial Organizations and Mer-
chants to Be Taken Tomorrow.

Evidence will be taken by the inter
state commerce commission beginning
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock on the
complaint of Washington commercial
organizations and individual merchants
against railroads participating in traf-
fic into and out of the city for not put
ting into effect commodity rates. The
case of Golden & Co. against the ex-
press companies for not providing for
the shipment of cream into the city also
will be heard.
The case attacking the lack of com
modify rates was filed by the Retail
Merchants Association, the Cha of
Commerce and about $50 Individual
merchants. The object of the case is
to force the railroads to put in effect
commodity rates, so that commodities
can be shipped to Washington from
points north and east just as cheap as
the same can be sent to points farther
south.
Under the present class rates goods
can be shipped from points north and
east to Richmond and points south
much cheaper than the same goods can
be hauled to these points and returned
to Washington.
Washington merchants are handica y
ped in participating in this southern
trade because of the high class rates
prevailing into and out of the city.

Trade Organization to Hold Outing
Some Time in June-Merchant
Marine Matter Referred.

Prior to the adoption of a resolution
fevoring the regulation of jitney buses
as public utilities the Chamber of Com
merce. at meeting held last night,
discussed this latest innovation in the
TRANSPORTATION world for more than
was praised by some in the most glow
Ing terms and condemned by others.
Those who supported the jitney idea
declared that their operation will mean
greater growth for suburbs of the city
which have inadequate car service and
those having no such service. They felt
sure that competition with the jitneys
would force the street car companies
to provide better service and to ex-
tend their tracks to obtain more bust
ness. They opposed all efforts to have
the chamber go on record in favor of a
regulation requiring the owners and
operators of iitneys to file indemnity
bonds with the proper authorities in
injury. II the jitney operators are to
be bonded then the operators Of street
cars and all automobile operators
should be bonded. they declared. They
asserted that the agitation in favor of
bonding jitneys has been started by
the bonding companies in hope of max
ing more business for themselves and
by street car companies in hope OF
