Suggestions for Army and Navy

Mr.. Arthur Brisbane, editor in
chief Of the Hearst New York dailies,
suggests for the United States self
supporting army and navy. He says
the local editors of the United States
can accomplish any good purpose
that interests them, and for that
reason has addressed his appeal to
them through the American Press, a
widely circulated trade journal.
Mr.. Brisbane's suggestions seem
plausible, and the industrial paid army
during peace times Ito become our
fighting force in the event of war;
would no doubt greatly minimize de-
sertions as well as result in a fuller
development of many of the natural
resources of the Union and husband
ing of others, and that quickly. Not
of less national Importance would be
the seafaring arm of this great force
ever ready and ever a source of
profit to the nation.
That you may read and reflect for
yourself and decide for yourself upon
the merits of the suggestions ad-
vanced by Mr.. Brisbane, we repro
duce below his article in full:
The United States could employ
usefully in neace and in war $50,
trained soldiers.
These men, exercised in maneu-
vering, drilling and the use of
weapons for a few hours each week,
after once being thoroughly trained
could earn their living-a good living
in peace times and be ready to fight
at any moment.
If we spent thousand millions a
year on such an army we should have

There are many German spies in
the United States and many German
sympatbizers who are not spies. AS
the Germans are more than barbarous
in their tactics of making war, we
need not be surprised over unexpect-
ed developments. All over the country
efforts will be made to blow up mu-
milton factories, destroy foodstuffs
that arc stored, blow up railroad and
traffic bridges, cut levees, etc. Don't
become unnecessarily alarmed, but
keep your weather eye open.
