Two Million Men by January

THE Secretary Of War has indicated Td
4 committees Of Congress that If the pres
ent program Of the War Department Is car
ried into effect, not less than 100000 men
VIII be under arms by the end of January
without calling out the second 100000 con-
tingent under the selsctive draft law
This announcement will surprise many
people. They did not realize that the present
military establishment was susceptible of
expansion to that extent without the employ-
ment Of the full 100000 men authorized
under the draft. At the time the draft law
was enacted, we were informed by the army
experts that it gave us potential military
strength Of 100000 of men, should the
regular army and the National Guard be re-
crulted to full war quota. 1t now appears
that this elastic measure, coupled with the
older national defense act, known as the
Hay-Chamberlain bill. In reality authorizes
the President to raise an army of $500. 900
men without further resort to Congress-
Moreover, the War Department is proceeding
with its plans upon that basis, and promises
to achieve fighting force before the end
OF another year greater than the combined
strength of the Union and Confederate
armies at their maximum. More than that.
1t is tho fixed purpose Of the administration
to dispatch fully 100000 men to France
by spring. and half that many more before
the beginning of the second winter. The
country, for sufficient military reasons, is
not advised of the detailed arrangements for
the transport Of such vast army abroad,
nor are we told how many Of our men are
now on French SOIL If both pieces Of In
formation were made public, another sur
prise no doubt would be In store for US.
There is genuine comfort in the statement
which the Secretary Of War has made to Con-
gress 1t shows that our military machinery
Is working superby. 1t shows that this
country, once war is forced upon it. Is
capable Of meeting it and capable Of winning
It, 1t convnces the remainder Of the world
that America may be good friend in time
OF peace, but is a dangerous enemy in time
OF war. 1t answers the sneers from Berlin
to the effect that are a big overgrown
baby OF nation without force or decision

The State Democratic Committee has
wisely determined to wage a vigorous and
aggressive campaign to increase the usual
majority OF the State ticket in the coming
election. The ticket chosen in the August
primary. in addition to commanding tho
loyal support of all Democrats on the indi
sYiduai merits of the nominees and their
favorable attitude toward policies of gov
eminent which have been approved by the
electorate as whole, is further fortified in
strength by its heritage of the .party's un
elemlshed record OF thirty years service in
promoting the best interests of the Com
monweslth-a period of progress in every
line OF effort conducive to the general well
fare. The Republican scheme to create dis.
#anection by the injection OF a dead Issue
into the campaign has found no response
among voters, and the waging Of vigorous
Campaign for an increased majority would
seem to hold out every prospect of creating
the necessary enthusiasm among voters to
insure the fullest realization of that mr.
pose. Let the Republican organization be
