PACIFIST PLAYED
 BY MAJOR GENERAL WOOD

Major General Wood, stirred by criti- ci5n of compulsory military service in an address at banquet of the Economic Club in New York recently turned cn the speaker Rev. Adolf A. Bere, widely known as lecturer on educational topics, and declared that the doctrines he preached "meant the murder of our sons and the di<honor of our women"
 General Wood had addressed the diners earlier in the evening. He asked for 6 second hearing after Dr. Berle had arraigned the advocates of compulsory military serv- ice and asserted that with three months training he could hold his own with any army officer i'll the field"
 Dr. Berle had said that preparedness had been "harped upon by every secretary of war for thirty years and added that he saw no reason to become hyseric2l and al tempt to organize an army in fifteen min utes larger than the Prussan 2rmy before the war, which required 100 year, to per feet.
 General Woods reappearance brought the diners to their feet with cheers.
 "Of course We want volunteer service. just as we want voluntary morality, just as we want everything that is good as- serted General Wood, "but none but fool expects to get it,
 General Wood appealed to the women present by saying The preceding speech is full of those principles which insure the useless sacrifice of life-,the death of your sons It is a wicked and absurd doctrine, full of untruths and falsehoods."
 Then, turning 10 Dr. Berle General Wood declared: We have boys who are willing to serve; we ase wiling to die. But hope we are better prepared to die than you are"
 Mayor Mitchell and a number of others crowded around General Wood and shook hands when he finished end the diners cheered again

TWENTY MILLION MEN COULD BE MADE AVAILABLE
 FOR UNITED STATES ARMY

The available organized land forces of the United States amount to approximately 265, GOO officers and men, made up of 125,-
 GOO regulars and 140,oOO national guards men, including both those still in the fed eral service and those under state control. The exact figures are known only to the war department at Washington, but recent reports give a close idea of what the or ganzations represent in fighting strength. In his last annual report Secretary of War Baker stated that the actual strength of the regular army on June 30, 1916, includ- ing the Philippine scouts, was 1O7,64l ot1l- cers and men. In the year beginning July l last, by the national defense act of June 3, 1916, the army was to be increased to l38,S97 officers and men, divided as fol

In my adventures through existence met not long since q man who had good conscience, q good wife, a moderate for tune a very fine taste in the arts and some skill in one art A fellow, 1t seemed en- tirely after my own mind, and one who surely should be reasonably content.
 But in the course of conversation it ap- peared that in his opinion the world, in cluding himself, had gone wrong He saw weakness and vanity in most human crea- tures and little else in them. And in him self he saw slow degeneration. He held nc hope of improvement. He said he was con demncd to utility And after a while h. let slip the dreadful word "neurasthenia He knew that he was neurasthenic, and ht was 1 told him that neurasthenia was susceptible to treatment but he shook his head; he would not admit it. he would never admit it. His profoundest conviction was that, with all his exterior advantages he was done for in a declining world We talked much, and he talked admirably, about the arts, and then he departed carry ing his tragic woe and futility to somebody else.
 I sympathized deeply with his wife whom l did not know. But certainly I sympa- thized still more deeply with him

Army Organization

The commander in chief of the army Gas of the navy also) is the President of the United States. His representative, who carries out his wishes, is the secretary of war. Newton D. Baker.
 The directing force of the army is the general staff. Major General Hugh L. Scott is now chief of staff, and his assistant Is Major General Tasker H. Bliss Grouped about them in Washington are army experts of various ranks, who are supposed to do the thinking about general problems for the whole army Should the United States send a military expedition abroad the commander would undoubtedly be one of the seven active major generals. These are given below, with their present headquar- ters:

Exceptional difficulties have been found in carrying out this program for increasing the army. On account of the remarkable activity of the country, recruiting is and has been since the increase was authorized at very low ebb. It is therefore prob able that the estimate of l25,000 as the strength of the regular army errs on the side of optimism, and 5000 may be closer the true figure.
 The strength of the national guard in federal service on September 90 last was I35,737 officers and men. The United States marine corps is independent of both army and navy, and its small strength should perhaps be added to that of the two main services when estimating the totsl organized beIHgerent power of the nation. The authorized strength of the corps t l5,627 officers and men of all classifcations and the ranks are nearly full

Vast UnorCanized Forces

While the present organized forces are minute, the reserve man power of the United States is more vast than that of any white nation except Russia Accord ing to the census of 1910, since when the increase has been great, the reserve militia of the United States, by which is meant the males aged between IS and fl years not included in the organized forces, amounted to 20,538,34 men. This total does not include the men of the insuIar possess;ons except Hawaii, These could produce another 2.0C0OG0 men of military age.
 France is said now to have one person of every six in her population serving in the army CT navy. If the United States and her insular possessions ever made such an effort, taking the present population as I12,000 900, the President would have at his disposal no less than 1S.66GC66 men. This is probably more men than Germany, Austria Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey to- gc;her have in the field today.
 Various schemes for argly reserve bodies were incorporated in the national defense act of last year, but these provisions have not been in force long enough to produce results of importance For instance, of 5O,000 reserve officers provided for, total
