Department In normal times, Mr.. Gar
rison said it had been demonstrated to
him that a mobile force oft50,000 and
10000 coast artillery troops would
serve all needs. Such force. an in
crease of nearly 10000 over the present
army. he said. would be comparatively
inexpensive, would require no addi-
tfonal quarters and could be recruited.
For these reasons he recommended the
addition of ten regiments of infantry,
four regiments of field artillery, fifty
two companies Of coast artillery, ff-
teen companies of engineers and four
aero sQuadrons to the present force,
bringing the enlisted strength in two
years up to 134,707 and the number of
officers to 1886.
The officers and men of the new or
gGnfzations are absolutely essential If
the War Department plan is to be fair
ly tried out" he added. I'm the plan
of the War College division of the gen.
eral staff an army of about 250,oOO is
ESQ distributed that in continental
United States there would be left 121,-
900 mobile army troops. In the War
Department plan these divisions are at
peace strength, so that they are capa-
BILE of expansion. The War ollege di-
vision plan proposes a two-year enlist
ment. with six years in reserve. and
eventually, at the end of eight years,
regular army, of whom $4,000 would
be with the colors and $4,000 in re-
serve.
Those IN First Line. /
'I do not, for one. believe that you
can safely count on a force that is
made of those presently in the service
with the colors plus those who are
through with their active service and
are back in civil life, scattered all over
the country. If the force is to be your
first line. In the plan proposed by the
War Department the first line would
consist of those who are actually with
the colors-that is, those in the regu-
lar army who are actually serving and
those in the continental army who are
actually serving. The.reserves of these
organizations would be available just
as they would be in the War College
division plan, but they are not counted
upon as part of the first line.

WAR DEMONSTRATES
 CHRISTIAN SPIRIT
Only Bond That Has Not Snapped,
 Says Church Report

Atlantic City, N. J., May 1S.-The general assembly of the Presbyterian church in the United States began it's 128th annual meeting on the Steel Pier here today with a program which will continue through until Friday May 26. It is one of the most import ant church gatherings of the year and the reports that have been prepared by various committees for cOnsidera- tiOn during the week reflect some of the new phases of church problems and particularly some of the effects which the great war in Europe has had on church work.
 These reports, compiled in a book of 200 pages. which were placed in the hands of the delegates to the assem- bly, here today, include some optim-
 stic views as to the effects which the war is having and will continue to have on religion. The executive com mission of the Alliance of the Re- formed Churches throughout the world reports:
 Instead of showing the failure of Christianity, this war has revealed the strength of Christianity, for Christian ity has been the only bond that has not snapped because of this war. Out of the present conditions in Europe three facts are emerging that bear on the religious situation. The first is that religion over there has become largely philanthropy. The people have passed from faith to works. All be- come largely philanthropy. The peo- pie have passed from faith to works. All the countries are full of charitable efforts to relieve poverty and suffer ing.
 ''The second peculiarly is evangel ization. The 24,O00,O00 men of the different armies afford a grand oppOr- tunity for the spread of the gospel. The 2,40O, 900 prisoners in Germany, most of whom are Russians, open q great field for the evangelization of Russia. In the camps, in the hospitals, in the prison camps, is an open door of hope, tremendous and mighty that will affect every church in Europe.
 The third feature is personalness, that is piety more than ever has be- come a personal thing. The war is making Europe learn that religion is a personal matter rather than a for nal one. The lines between denom- nations are largely broken down in armies and camps Faith is being pur- flied, sham and unreality are burn ing out Men are thinking straight and centering themselves on Jesus Christ. These characteristics are not going to pass entirely away for Eu- rope ha been too deeply stirred. She is never going back to what she was before the war"
 After the war, the report points out, there may be a great call for Ameri- cans to take up the continuance of English church work on the continent of Europe, particularly in Germany and Austria, where prejudice may mil
New Britain herald., 1916-05-18

on the working of the Dominion Lords day act, the report adds that ninety per cent. or more of the Sun day newspapers published in the United States for distribution in Can- ada on Sunday had been pushed back over the line. The report notes, how ever, that the Sunday newspaper has made serious inroads lately among the people of Scotland, which is tho stronghold of Presbyterianism.
 Sabbath Victories.
 The committee reports number of victories in the movement for obser- vance of the Sabbath, among them the Sunday closing of the saloons in Chica- go for the first time in more than for tv years. The committee is also grat- flied at the stand many employers have taken is regard to Sunday work, and it notes that even in England the au- thorities have found it advisable to ban Sunday work, even in the mun1- ton factories.
 One of the most important of the reports is that by the committee on church cooperation and union which among other things favor the cOntln- nance of the negotiations for the union of all the churches of the Pres bvterian household in the United States, and also conferences with the Church of the Disciples of Christ with a view to closer relations. In the mat ter of evangelization the question is also raised whether the hour has not arrived for "the inauguration and pro- motion of countrywide movement of evangelistic endeavor of such a character as will meet with the ap- nroval and appreciation of the united ministry of our land"
 The assembly's approval is also to be asked of the steps thus far taken in the movement for the worlds con ference on faith and order proposed by the Protestant Episcopal church.

 The Divorce Evil.
 The divorce evil in America, re- ceives considerable attention by the special committee on Christian life and work which points out that the esti mated average of divorces has reached the alarming ratio of about one to every twelve marriages, " showing that is worse than that of any other civilized nation" We must organize the committee says, "as never before, a nationwide campaign of education in behalf of the welfare of the family and the home concern ing the sacredness of marriage and the evils of divorce" The same commit tee discusses the use of the Bible in the public sch oOls and the church is urged to work toward creating 8 pub lie sentiment that will favor and even demand such a course.
 In discussing the observance of the Sabbath another committee submits lengthy report covering many phases of the problem and deplores among other things that in our natlOal cap ital there are social functions of every description on the Lords day
 Modern inventions such as the au- tomobi1e and motion pictures are clted as adding a tremendOuS lnlluellce 'o the com bination of powers already at work to destroy the old fashioned Sabbath. Resolutions are proposed m protest against the operation Of nov ing picture theaters on Sunday and al- so against the use of public school buildings on that day. The faculties of colleges and seminaries, it is pro- posed, should also be urged to omit recitations on Monday mornings so as to leave the Sabbath free from the felt necessity of some of the students to prepare their lessons on that day. An other resolution condemns the Sunday pApes is not necessity. In comment

WHO Il TO RE GAMER?

It is quite evident that Carranza
has provoked the United States TO
/ the point Of war for the purpose of
serving his own ends. and yet it was
not long ago that ne accused Wilson
OF aggravating conditions with self
ish purpose in view. Whatever have
been Wilson's shortcomings. there was
no call for the de facto head To i'm
pute wrong motives to him, except a-
far as the accuscr hoped to cover ul.
his own Vaccinations by crying stop
thief to the other fellow. MIR. VIII
son can hardly be blamed for taking
advantage OF events to forward his
own candidacy. but he is not driven u.
the desperate resort that Carranza
now faces. The MeXicans may be
hoodwinked into believing they have
a hero at their head because he haa.
thrown down tho gauntlet to Uncle
Sam, for It is evident their CHIEF hopes
10 save his face with his own people
at the expense of plunging his nation
into hopeless conflict with a SUI
porior power. As far ms Mr.. Wilson
is concerned. his policy toward Mex
ico has led to this condition and has
encouraged their leader to put up this |

lowed an ideal. not wisely, but sin,

cautioned that II more discreet course, |
though less sentimental, would lead |

Iltical faith who will quarrel win,

now, for the majority OF our people
have long been OF the opinion that
