THE reduction in conference OF the size of the
- reorganized regular army proposed in the pre-
paredness program, from $4,000 peace strength,
as authorized in the senate on April lS, to 10000
as forced by the house conferees on Monday, will
be received with genuine regret by those who are
taking the necessity for preparedness seriously
and in the light OF the possibilities The larger
figure decided upon by the senators is by no means
too large, and while it is three times the figure at
which the army has stood during the past several
years it is insignificant IN comparison with the
number that would have to be turned out as a first
line for national defeuse should the bulwark OF
the navy be forced to give way
The regular army should be big enough for
such police work it may be called upon to-
perform-harncring some semblance Of sanity
into Mexico, for lnStance-and, big enough to hold
defensive hne against possible invader until
the nation could rally and prepare to take the field
Should ever come and navy been de
ieated, the first shock OF invasion would have to
be borne altogether by the regular forces. Very
few of the militia regiments today are in such
shape as to be able to take the field without some
preliminary, intensive training. Most of the mill
tia would require six months in training camp
before being trustworthy units along battlefront.
The unframed citizen however quickly he might
spring to arms" could not be put into battle
with justice to himself and to those dependent up
ON him inside OF a year, And, while the militia
was being modified and trained and the vOlun-
teers taught the use of a rifle, entrenching spade
and tent peg, the regulars would have to be hold
ing the line.
\ quarter of million out of nation OF a
hundred million is not too many for the work
they would have to do. The expense of mainte-
nance Of an army which touches the minimum OF
usefulness should not be too great for the United
States, which spends six hundred millions year
on beer, four hundred millions on spirits, seven
hundred millions on tobacco and hundred mil

report as soon as possible;
The committee also took up recent

answer is easy. The Cotton Palace
