STORK PAYS TWO VISITS
TO CAPITAL OFFICIALS
Baby Boys Arrive at Homes of Assist
ant Secretary of State Phillips
and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

New blood is rapidly being injected
into President Wilson's Cabinet, two
members of the official family having
been added in the past few days.
On Thursday, Assistant Secretary of
State William Phillips and Mrs, Phillips
announced to their friends the arrival
of another member of-their- household
a baby boy. All yesterday MIR. Phillips
was receiving congratulations and as,
surfing his friends that both mother and
son were doing nicely.
Three days ago Assistant Secretary
Of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt and
Mrs. Franklin. Roosevelt received visit
from the stork. 1t was a boy-the
fourth in a family of five children. Con-
gratulations have been flying thick and
fast at the Navy Department for the
last two days.

tionaL Guard. those who have served
therein. and the graduates of educa-
tional institutions having military train
ing should be considered as only par
tally trained"
Figuring on this bases, the Secretary of
War estimated that the number of
trained and partially trained men fit for
service in the country today would ap-
proximate f73.7o0 men.
''The passage of the House army bill
would Increase the regular army by 1000
men in period of three to four years.
would make a net Increase of the regular
army reserve by about 1900 men in
period of about seven years, and would
also increase the National Guard and
therefore the number of partially
trained men available in the country. but
to Just what extent 1 am unable to pre-
dict" the letter added.
Representative Gardner, in discussing
the bill. said:
This bill makes a noise like prepared
ness, but 1t isn't a noisy noise. 1t Is
about as loud as the tick of a watch or
the still. small voice of conscience. 1t
hasn't even walked up Henry Bord Reg
ular army men is exactly what we want
and need.
There is nothing on earth that comes
within gunshot of being practically as
good as the regular army man. NO
amateur soldier can any more compare
with professional soldier than an anna
teur plumber can compare with pro-
fessional plumber. The lawyer who
spends six days a week lawyering and
one day a week soldering is pretty GER
tain to be six times as good lawyer as
he is a soldier. This is the fundamental
trouble with your militia.
Doesn't Want '.Hns-Beens."
Il
away with the idea of an army of has
ms or reserves as they are called
i is to say. an army largely made up
OF men who once upon a time have done
a real turn at soldering. 1t may be all
right to have a supplemental army of
ex-soldiers: but I have a notion that the
cheapest thing in the long run will be
to maintain a good-sized regular force of
about 100000 men and then train our boys
so that they will know something about
how to tight IL need be.
Il think nothing at all of the alleged
liberalization of the militia provided in
the Hay and the Chamberlain bills. You
can't really federalize your militia so long
as the States appoint the officers, and
confess that don't see the logic of
Uncle Sam paying soldiers that some one
else commands.
Think of it: This Hay bin. and the
Chamberlain bill also for that matter,
actually proposes that the State govern
ors shall continue to command these
forty-eight armies while the nation pays
n big share of the bill Suppose that
some governor were to order out his army
to suppress a strike. don't you think that
Uncle Sam ought to have the right to
say Halt If he didn't approve? Well,
II you pass either one of these bills,
Uncle Sam will not have a word to say
about it. He can pay the piper, but he
can't name the tune
