STAFF OFFICERS ON PLANS FOR DEFENSE Give Conclusions Before House Military Committee NEED A MILLION MEN Country Should Whip an Enemy at the Waters Edge Declares Major
 Would Materially Re-
 duce Chances of War
NEED A MILLION MEN

Washington, January S.-Conclusions of the army general staff officers as to the countrys requirements for adequate defense were delineated by it's members today before the house military commit tee, which is considering the adminis- tration army increase measures They held that 1,000,Go0 men-500,000 regulars and 500,000 reserves-would be needed along the Atlantic coast and gulf. from Penobscot, Me, to Mobile Ala; that it takes a year to train soldier; that ar senals and supply depots should be sit uated well in from the coasts at least 200 miles away from Canada to Mexico; that the Philippines were not essential to national defense, and that the danger points from foreign expeditions were the North Atlantic cities, San Francisco and
 Puget Sound There was no fear of at tack from southern ports.
 AT WATERS EDGE
 "The United States should whip an en- emy at the waters edge' Major Andrew
 Moses told the committee If a foreign
 power believes we can do so, the chances of war are less. There should be 1OOO.- coo men prepared as a defending force for protection of the coast against invasion. prepared against possible loss of control of the sea. Great Britains navy would so outnumber us now that we would lose control of the sea very soon With a combination of the navies of two power- ful governments against us we would not 1 be able to hold the sea 30 days Major Moses and the other general staff of ficers favored universal training in peace time and universal service in war time '"In event of war;, said Capt. c. E. Kilbourne, 'it is not likely that there will be any landing of troops simultaneously with the outbreak of war. If we had war with England we would have very little time; Germany longer time, France whose navy is little ahead of ours we'll we'd have hopes Frances navy might never arrive. Now and for sometime to come the regular army is the only de- pendable military asset of this country" Captain Kilbourne said that the general staff had not been working out the
 problem of defense from a foreign at tack on coast Notifications from the
 rear. The Pacific coast problem of de-
 fense, he said. was less difficult than that on the Atlantic, for Oregon and Washington probably would not be in vaded because of lack of railroads. The general staff disagreed as to Alaska, but said there was no fear of attack of southern ports.

MILLION A DAY

Maj. P. D. Lockridge explained that the war college plans for increasing the army meant a cost of S1 100000 a day when in operation, and that an adequate force could not be built up for less.
 Captain Frank Cocheu held that while retention of the Philippines was not es- sential from military standpoint, strong bases should be maintained at Oahu and the Panama canal. He said a careful study of the situation had shown that Puget Sound, California, and the north Atlantic states were the critical areas"
 If any or all of these areas should be occupied by an enemy" he said they could be retaken only after appalling sac rifices.
 Manila bay cannot be defended by a force smaller than 60,000 strong, but the holding of Oahu and the Panama canal willsaid materially in home defense and both must be held.'
 Several members of the American Medi- cal association, including it's president, Dr. William S. Rodman of Philadelphia, urged the committee to approve the rec commended increase in the medical corps. Before the House commerce committee another feature of the preparedness pro- gramme was taken up, Secretary Gar rison appearing in favor of a proposal to broaden the dam act to encourage water power development and consequent manufacture of nitrates from the air.

Assuming that all war is wrong and unnecessary, do YOU believe it

When you accept a lot OF favors you must expect that the time viii
come when you will be called upon to return them.
Unless are willing to do o you should ct become indebted.
There are some people however, who do not figure this way. They
seem to think that every time they are favored in any way that they are
just that much ahead.
Such people soon find they are left out of many good times that
they might otherwise enjoy, but don't understand the reason TO their
declining popularity.
They become what is known IS the "human sponge"
Yet they would be insuHed If you told them that they are dishonest.
But they are Cheats" unwilling to do their share of the work; unW1l
