deadly thing to get into the spirit Of
a nation, and | do not think there is
the slightest danger of its getting into
the spirit Of this nation-only | have
to determine a very practical problem
] have to determine how large an army
is not unreasonable for the United
States.
"The largest army proposed, that OF
the Chamberlain bill, is 100000 men
and as compared with any European
standard that is extremely small IN a
nation Of 10O,000,O00. So that, unless
you regard it as a prophecy, there is
nothing eXtravagant in an army OF
$50, 900 men.
For Powerful Navy.
"The traditions Of the American PEG.
pie have always been for very power
full navy. We have never been
jealous of the navy, even in our most
sensitive moments"
One Of the members of the commit
tee asked if the navy had not been in
creased tremendously.
"Not tremendously Mr.. Wilson
replied. you see, our tasks have in
creased tremendously The amount of
sea that we have found it necessary to
police, TO take care Of our distant pos
sessions and be ready for exigencies OF
the most ordinary kind, quite indepen-
IDENTIFY of war, has increased 'tremen-
dously' So that | earnestly hope that
we may not antagonize reasonable pro
lection in our effort to avoid militar-
ism. | do not think it is going to need
any very great effort TO avoid militar-
ism, because / quite agree with you
that there we have got the sentiment
of a great body of people behind US
and that, after all, is all that we care
about.
"As 70 the general thing we are al
most profoundly interested in-ano
that is peace-we want the peace OF
the world. Now, | do not know,
cannot speak about what | am going
10 speak about with any degree of con
fdence-I do not suppose any man can;
but a nation which, by the standards
of other nations, however mistaken
those standards may be, is regarded
as helpless, is apt in general council
TO be regarded as negligible. And
when you 90 into conference to es-
tablish foundations for the peace OF
the world, you must go in on basis
ineligible to the people you are con-
ferring with"
A Committeeman interposed to say
that he was in London in 1895, at the
time of the Venezuela complications
and heard IL said that if America hac

message would have been regarded as
an attempt at bullying, and unques
tionably would have led to war.
"a Year of Madness
"But this is not the year 1896" re-
I piled Mr.. Wilson. This is year OF
madness. II is a year of excitement

authority and to draw that training
into some sort Of connection with mill
tary organization. IL is not lncon-
sistent with American tradition that
everybody should know how TO shoot
and take care of himself On the con-
trary, that is distinctly implied in our
Bill of Rights, where the right TO carry
arms is reserved TO all of us. There
is no use carrying arms If you do not
know what to do with them.
81 should say il was not inconsistent
with the traditions of the country that
the people should know how to take
care of themselves, but II is inconsist-
ent with the traditions OF the country
that their knowledge of arms should be
used by q governmental organization
which would make and organize great
army subject to orders TO do what
particular group of men might at the
time think II was best TO have IT 90.
That is the militarism of Europe, where
q few persons can determine what an
armed nation is to do. That is what
understand militarism 10 be.
"But a nation acquainted with arms
is not a militaristic nation unless
there Is somebody who can, by an
order. determine what they shall all
do with that force. think we ought
to be very careful not TO let these
different things seem as If they were
the same.
Can't Patrol Mexican Border.
"Whcn you come 10 ask how much
preparation you can make, that surely
is a matter of judgment, and | do not
see how you can find any absolute
standard upon which to determine
that question. Take Mr.. Rastman's
suggestion that we might have some
arrangement by which the border Of
Mexico can be patrolled. There are
not men enough in the existing Ameri-
can army to patrol that border. That
is the mere physical fact. When
things are at skies and sevens in a
neighboring country, as in Mexico,
and everybody apparently a law unto
himself, there are not men enough 20
safeguard that border. And yet it is
obviously the right thing to do 20
keep the disorders Of one country from
flowing over TO disturb the peace of
another country. That is not mill
tarism; that is necessity.

, straint. with reasonableness, without
any kind of misleading excitement, and
yet with energy. and all that ] am
maintaining is this: that we must take
own safety as against the imposition
of the standards of the rest of the
world upon ourselves.
ave have undertaken very much
more than the safety of the United
States. We have undertaken to keep
what we regard as demoralizing and
hurtful European influences out Of this
hemisphere, and that means that if the
world undertakes, as we all hope il
will undertake, a joint effort to keep
the peace, it will expect US TO play
our proportional part in manlfestlng
the force which is going 70 rest back
of that.
"In the last analysis the peace 81 so.
ciety is obtained by force, and when
action comes it comes by opinion, but
back of the opinion is the ultimate
application Of force. The greater body
of opinion says to the lesser body OF
opinion. we may be wrong, but you
have to live under our direction for the
time being, until you are more numer-
Gus than we are That is what | un-
derstand it amounts to.
America Must Do Her Part.
"Now. let us suppose that we have
formed a family of nations. and that
family of nations says the world is
not going to have any more wars OF
this sort without, at least, going
through certain processes TO show
whether there is anything in its case
or not If you say, we shall not have
any war you have got TO have the
force to make that shall bite. And the
rest of the world, if America takes
part in this thing, will have the right
to expect from her that she contributes
her element of force TO the general
understanding. Surely, that is not a
militaristic idea. That is very prac-
teal ideal"
Miss Wald asked if this logically
would not lead to limitless expansion
. of Americas contribution. The Presi-
dent replied:
well, logically Miss Wald, but
have not the least regard for logic
What | mean 20 say is ] think in such
affairs as we are now discussing the
circumstances are the logic. Now, quite
opposite to anything you fear, | be-
lieve that IL the world ever comes 10
combine its force for the purpose OF
maintaining peace the individual con-
tributions Of each nation will be much
less, necessarily, than they WOULD be
in other circumstances. and that all
they will have 70 do will be TO con-
tribute moderately and not indeh-
Litely."

Navy Policy Not New.

Miss Waldo remarked that the Navy
seemed committed 20 policy or huge
increase.
Just let me say there that there
really has not been any material
change" the President said, "the only
difference is this: We have been going
on from year TO year making certain
additions determined upon that year.
all along looking forward TO a series
OF years. Now, all that we have done
is to evolve the rest of the programme.
Ii is not altered TO any extent"
When Miss Valid said there obvi-
ously was an attempt 10 stampede the
country, Mr.. Wilson replied that It
was not working.
As the interview neared a close, one
OF the members of the committee
sked whether the President believed
compulsory military service.
81 did not say ! believed in II. To
use the phrase of a friend Of mine, my
mind is 10 let on the subject. ] would
say merely that that was not contrary

Similarly the glare from dazzling
street lamps is exaggerated by the
Stygina blackness of somber-walietl,
sable-mantled night. This Is contrary
to the common belief that white walls
make light more radiant. For this rea
son great care should be taken to AVOID
the danger of installing arc 1amps and
other street lights in such a manner
as to confuse traffic, bewilder pedestri
ans, and invite automobile and other
street accidents.
The nationwide movement insisting
that DINNERS be placed on automo-
bile lamps was begun by rsycho- -physi-
cists and illuminating engineers. and
