states, and no effort is being made to compel a
state to accept a law undesirable to it.
Upon the statute books of all states are laws
sufficient to punish for any offence committed,
and Georgia is no exception to the rule Hav
ing the remedy, it should be enforced, and
where the commonwealth fails in its duty the
Federal authorities should be permitted to in
tervene to enforce those laws.
Riots and lawlessness existing in one state
have their effect on those citizens of other states
similarly inclined, and thus place in jeopardy
the peace and happiness OF the various men,
bers of the Union. Encouraged by the mac
tivities of the Georgia officials, rioters might
be tempted to repeat the offence elsewhere.
This possibility should be prevented, and
would be were power vested in the national
government to intercede and bring justice to
the vioators of the law, the state failing in
that duty.
Ever ready are we to charge foreign coun-
try with the offences OF political division
thereof, never stopping to consider the posi-
bility of the lack of jurisdiction in the ma
tional government &c. also, DO some foreign
'ers charge to the entire American people the
crime of the Georgia mob. Shall the entire
citzenry of this land be compelled to bear
that criticism, without power to remedy the
evil? Abroad we are viewed as one nation,
not as combination of forty eight republics.
Greater responsibilities are falling upon the
Federal government and greater power should
be granted it, not only to repel invasion of
foreign enemies but to bring to justice local
offenders.
Under the present system OF government,
where city or county officer fails in the per-
Torrance Of his duty, the state intervenes and
exercises its jurisdiction to compel the en-
forcerent OF the laws. 1t is reasonable 70
suggest therefore. that where the entire state
fails in its duty the nation should be privileged
HAS CONGRESS POWER?
1t is matter of some query as to whether
or not the Congress of the United States has
the power under the present Constitu-
ton to interfere in the situation which has
been occasioned in the State OF Georgia. Sec
ton of Article Nv in its provision guaran-
teeing to the various states a republican
form of government confers on Congress
the power of determining whether such
a republican form of government exists. The
law is we'll settled that Congress is the sole
arbiter Of that question. Even the courts are
without jurisdiction in such matter. In the
old case of Luther VS.. Borden, How, /, the
Supreme Court of the United States said:

cannot be convened) against domestic vio-
lence."
The trainers of the Constitution apparently
had in mind the possibility of an occasion
arising when local situation may get beyond
the control of the state officers, and proposed
that in such an emergency the Federal govern
ment should be permitted to lend its assist
ance. Our distinguished forefathers with all
their great foresight, as evidenced by the
wonderful structure erected in the preparation
of the Constitution, did not foresee the posi-
bility of condition arising wherein local vio-
lence against the laws of state and morality
might be perpetrated when the STATE itself re-
fused to bring to justice those who might be
guilty of such breach, or when whose officers
in fear of personal injury or political disfavor
failed to rigidly enforce the laws and ascer-
tain the identity of the lawless
INHUMANITY SANCTIONED.
II cannot be oontended that the recent cpl
sodc in the history Of the State Of Georgia
reflected alone upon the good name OF that
state, but its result, also, was to hold the en-
tire American nation up to ridicule and dis
trust before the nations of the world. This
is true because of the great policy Of humani-
tariansm which has been proclaimed by this
nation since its inception. We cried out against
the tyranny Of Great Britain because of its
inhunan laws against the coonsts. We re-
fused to permit the slave states TO secede be-
cause OF their desire TO violate the laws of
humanity. We stretched forth h.lping hand
to oppressed Cuba in the same cause. Yet,
with all this, we find under the very eyes and
with the apparent sanction OF officials the vio-
lation Of the laws OF Georgia and the laws OF
God and man. Has there been an honest and
conscientious effort made to secure the arrest
and punishment of the offenders, or if an hon
est effort has been made, has it developed
that the same is beyond the control and abil-
ity OF the said authorities? What else can
this be called but domestic violence2 Why
should the people OF the United States be
compelled to sit idly by permit its fair name
and honor to be held up to ridicule and abuse
and be prevented from interfering because
neither the Legislature nor the Governor OF
Georgia will ask for assistance? II the Con-
stitution permits the state to appeal TO the ma
ton for assistance, should not that same docu-
ment give to the government Of the United
States the right to force its aid in the punish
rnent Of those guilty OF domestic violence.

fuses to call for such assistance2 The sug-
gested change in our fundamental law may
seem to some RADICAL measure. but should

strated in their writings the errors that in
part led to the mishandling Of the French
mobilization: and it is doubtful if an initial
error of this kind can ever be neutralized.
Their ideas Of the conduct OF war went back
to Napoleon and Won Clausewitz; they had
net discovered Won Moltke, leave alone the
men who have followed and some beyond him.
Turning to England, the accumulation OF
forces which she has had to make on small
frontages, whether for the defensive, or, as
at Neuve Chapelle and Gallipoli, for the often
sive. shows clearly enough what immensely
greater number of men the improvised army
led by amateur officers requires. In recent
article in the Infantry Journal" have given
table Of efficiency in these terms. very
roughly estimated from the mutilated data
that reach US. But the upshot is put into the
briefest terms. that such an army as the Brit

be, has very little chance even by massing

with questions Of economic development.
There is nothing new about this. What is new.
however, is tire conception Of the conduct of
war by the armed nation, which demands as
its foundation the economic mobilization of
the whole nation, and the most careful meas
urirg Of the military work done in terms Of
money. The cost per yard Of front held,
whether defensvely or Extensively in terms of
men and in terms Of money will determine the
issue The table l have already referred to
shows, as a very rough approximation, every
yard front held defensively by Germany and
England, as costing respectively S. and $50
per day Multiply that up by few hundred
miles and few months and the result is
startling
The war work Of nation, therefore, de-
mands economy above all things, economy Of
effort and economy of cost. And it is the
highly trained professional soldier who covers
the case who performs the most work at the
least cost. In terms Of the professional soldier,
our present day problem is comparatively
slight; in terms Of emergency armies Of the
armed citizenry type our problem is insoLble
in terms Of war work, and might well involve
bankruptcy in terms of finance. But before
coming to that, few remarks as TO the Swiss
militia system. covering the ground of some
interesting questions put 10 ne by the military

ground.
The Swiss system is well adapted to the
needs of Switzerland, but has no particular
significance with regard to our oonditions'
With neiehbors who can each mobilize soldiers
bv the million on her border. Switzerland re-
ouires universal service system, ana even al
that has none too many men. On the other
hand. she must reduce 10 the minimum the
expense of maintaining such large army.
This she does by making Of it a purely de-
fensive militia. great reliance being placed on
teaching the individual citizen to handle rifle
from his school age. The mountain positions
OF Switzerland are so strong that TINS army
might we'll put up a successful defence against
superior numbers. But as mobile field force
it lacks both the training and the artillery
power OF French or German armies. Its mus
kerry would tell because rifiemen in mountain
work cannot be subjected TO artillery hre IN
the same way as in fiat or open country.
Troops that have been subjected to artillery
fire are reckoned 10 lose about 81 per cent OF
their craftsmanship. SO that training our
schoolboys to handle rifles would in reality
serve little purpose An automatic blunderbuss
would probably be lar more practical than our
present infantry weapon.
Suppose the United States relied on Swiss
system with which to meet a we'll organized
European army, what are some OF the points
at which il would break down? In the first
place, it may be noted that the Swiss system
would be excessive. The problem is to face,
inside of three weeks, at some point within
radius Of say $50 miles OF New York, force
Of let US suppose, from one to three hundred
thousand men. BY the Swiss system we should
have over twelve millions Of armed men.
One-half of twelve million men could not be
modified within the time. The concentration
Of even a quarter OF the number in the neigh
borhood Of New York is almost unthinkable.
Assuming you got an eighth Of them any
where within reach OF the invader within the
requisite time, they would still be too numerous
for any practical use. Whatever number could
be collected or supplied would be useless for
