For 1t is an interesting circumstance
that the processes of the war stand
still. These hot things that are in con-
tact with each other do not make very
much progress against each other.

gentlemen, what new age we have
come into. l should think that it would
quicken the imagination of every man
and quicken the patriotism of every
man who cared for America. Here in
ample of bringing all the world to-
gether upon terms Of liberty and co
operation and peace. and in that great
experience that we have been going
through America has been a sort Of
prophetic sample Of mankind.
Now the world outside of America
has felt the forces of America: felt the
forces of freedom. the forces of COM
mon aspiration. the forces that bring
every man and every nation face to
face with this question What are you
going to do with your power? Are you
going to translate 1T into force, or are
you going to translate it into peace
and the salvation of society? Does it
not interest you that America has run
before the rest of the world in making
trial of this great human experiment

the world Is now about to fall back is
the moral Judgment of mankind.

or to us America did not come out of
the south, and it did not come out OF
New England. The characteristic part
of America originated in the middle
states, of New York and Pennsylvania
and New Jersey. because there from
the first was that mixture of popula-
tions. that mixture of racial stocks.

singular fact about this great nation

dare say that the men who came to
America then and the men who have
come to America since came with
single purpose: sharing some part Of
the passion for human liberty which
characterized the men who FOUNDED the
republic, but they came with all sorts

antecedents behind them, all sorts of

Varying Views of Army Strength.

Estimates vary as TO the actual num-
Der of men the army bill provides,
the maximum to be enlisted under it
depending on the Interpretation placed
on some sections by War Department
officials charged with its enforcement.
AS construed by Chairman Chamberlain
of the Senate military committee 1t
provides for regular establishment
of 211, 900 at peace strength and 236,0O0
at war strength, with National
Guard of 457 900. The peace strength
Of the regulars under an Interpretation
given the House yesterday by Chairman
Hay of the military committee would
be 206, 900.
Besides the personal increases, the
measure provides for a government
nitrate manufacturing plant to cost
not more than s20.00o.0o0: for estab-
lishment of a system of military train
ing camps for civilians paid for out OF
the federal Treasury: for a board to
investigate the advisability of estab-
fishing a government munitions plant,
and for vocational education in the
army liberalization of the National
Guard would be accomplished through
federal pay and through a require
ment making the guardsmen subject to
the orders of the President.

Congress has completed its part in

measure to President Wilson for his
signature.
The House yesterday approved with
only twenty-five dissenting votes the
conference report on the army meas

by the Senate. 1t provides for a regu-

than 100000 men, backed by a federal

To complete the main elements of the
program of preparedness on which the
administration plans to spend more
than a billion dollars within the next
five years, Congress still has to per
feet and pass the naval bill, embodN-
ing the navy increases, and the fortl-
fications bill, which includes provision
for most of the equipment for the in
creased army.
