 Why cannot tho United States deal with tho Colon ban reparaton treaty in the spritf Not only is there an admitted wrong against Colombia to be right ed Not only is there to be cultivated this new Amer can international policy" which break with Colombia would endanger There also canal possibilities in that direction whose domination by the Uurnted States is as important in the of Nicaragua and whose aleniation to OldWorld interests will not be made any the less danger through the continued ilwh toward us of that country.

tional. BY what standard shall the
Guard be judged at the present time?
What is the nature OF the test il must
undergo in the mobilization camps on
the frontier and in Mexico If it should
be used as a reinforcement of the
regular army? Plainly the Guard
must be judged by the opportunities
il has had for improvement under the
provisions Of the Dick bill of 1908,
and the amending law Of 1908. II has
been uniformed like the regular army
and its equipment has been made the
same; further, it has been drilled and
manOeuvred by officers of the army in
association with regulars.

still another thing to be said. Mobi-

complete equipment and the use Of
It. Now, IL would be idle to say that
even the New York Division is well
