has taught us. The War Department
has figured out that if we want to be
safe, we must have on hand at the
outbreak Of war against a first class
power, field artillery and field artillery
ammunition to the value of SAL, O0O,-
900. That is a startling sum l admit,
but startling as it is it will provide
only sufficient cannon and ammunition
to see us through the very earliest
stages of the war This year we have
appreciated altogether thirty-flve mil
lions of dollars towards the amount
which the War Department had de-
clared is imperatively necessary. At
that rate of progress over twelve
years must elapse before we attain
the margin Of safety. Meanwhile in
stead of creating a real army or
real National Guard, Congress, under
the influence of the generilissimos OF
the National Guard Association, has
endeavored to fix upon the country
the present absurd plan of forty-eight
different amateur armies managed at
forty eight different State Capitols.
The result Of trying to consolidate
these forty eight armies in time of
emergency is only too visible on the
Mexican border today. Twenty eight
days after the President had issued
his call for troops, the War Depart
ment figures showed that only twenty
five of the forty-eight little armies
were represented on the border by any
troops whatsoever. What the Ameri-
can people want and what they will
have sooner or later is a real National
guard divorced entirely from state
control, trained, disciplined and
equipped by Uncle Sam, and by
Uncle Sam alone. That is what
the country wants and in my
opinion that is what the National
Guard itself wants, but it is not want
ed by the politicians Of the National
Guard nor by the generalissimos
whose rank and pay might badly sug-
fer. After all if we are to prepare, let
us really prepare. If we feel that we
can trust this country's future to
adroitly turned phrases rather than to
strong right arms, why then let us
let this preparedness question entirely
alone. For myself 1 do not hesitate
to say that we need something more
than a navy, something more than
National Guard. I do not believe that
the nation will be safe until we have
taught every young man in the coun-
try how to defend this land against it's
enemies. AS a measure of democracy
as well as Of safety, advocate COM
pulsory training in the duties Of SOL
der Of every young American, rich
or poor, high or low. the greatest and
the least elbow to elbow and side by
side.

the facts straight in the face on this
newspaper men and good many Con-
gressmen began to turn their minds to
the subject Of our army and our navy
Just as soon as the war broke out. AL
most at once the press began question
ing the adequacy Of our defence. Def
mite charges were made to the erect
that our battleships were equipped
with obsolete torpedos, that our sub
marines were worthless, that our tar
get practice was miserable, that our
crews were insufficient, that many OF
our battleships belonged to time
honored vintages Of the remote past.
that valuable craft were decaying in
cold storage or reserve, as 1t was
euphemistically called, and to crown 1t
all that the civilian head OF the navy
and his senior official advisor. Admiral
Bradley A. Fiske, had arrived at great
difference of opinion. AS to the army
the public was told that the regular
troops available for a mobile or field
army amounted to less than 10000
men, which by the way, Is the force
requisite to man just six miles OF
trenches. It was said that we had
practically no reserve ammunition, no
large field artillery whatever. a good
deal less than 700 cannon and field
howitzers and only three quarters OF
an hours supply Of ammunition for the
guns of our coast defences. AS to our
militia Of National Guard as It Is now
called we were informed that there
were on paper just 10000 Of them, but
that Of that number only 1900 enlisted
men had taken the trouble to go to
camp in the preceding year. 10
crown It all we were told that the
modern guns Of the great foreign
dreadnaughts so outranged our own
coast fertilization guns that parts OF
the cities of New York and Boston
could be bombarded without the slight
est danger to the attacking vessels.

ing distributed through the State Ii

the messenger, department offices and
clerks, the secretary Of State, State
boards, commissions and institutions,
the supreme and superior court
judges, Maine colleges. libraries, State
territorial and Canadian libraries,
United States government departments
and institutions on exchange account
and the newspaper correspondents.
The Register this year appears Of
smaller size but actually has more
pages than last year, numbering 1899
for 1867 against 1913 for last year,
with about the same amount Of adj
Vertising pages. The smaller size is
due to the use of a thinner paper.

which he told the latter was that he
had been locomotive engineer on the
train which figured in the two trag-
edies at Thomaston last summer. His
wages were 81 day.
Nobody could be found who wished
to cash his check for $40, but Propri-
etor Smith obligingly loaned him a"V."
Having been victimized on previous &C.
casions Mr.. Smith next transferred Mr..
Sweeney's grip and new suit of clothes
to his own room. He might have saved
himself the trouble, for Mr.. Sweeney
never returned, and has never been
heard from.
Maybe there is somebody who can
solve the mystery.

 The finest thing about it was the spirit of enthusiasm which could be felt in the very air.
