0est serviee CoIumn In CITY.

The committee on industrial prepared
ness Of the Naval Consulting Board is
Just about completing an inventory OF the
nations war resources.
While the organization which was to
result from this inventory has only Just
been started, the work of lnVesusatloh
done indicates in the clearest manner the
factory strength of this country.
In preliminary report, Howard Z.
Coffin, chairman OF the committee stated
that there are more than 5000 manufac-
turing concerns in the United states
which can render important service IN
the event of war. No plant is included
in this list whose annual output is less
than 100000.
The inventory is in the hands Of the
great engineering societies Of the coun-
try, which have had committees at work
in every State.
The United States Marine Corps is in
dependent of both the army and the navy
and its small strength should perhaps be
added to that of the two main services
when estimating the total organized
belligerent power of the nation. The
authorized strength OF the corps is 1857
officers and men Of all clsssifications, and
the ranks are nearly full.
Various schemes for army reserve
bodies were Incorporated in the national
defense act of last year, but these pro-
visions have not been in force long
enough to produce results of Importance.
For instance, of 5000 reserve officers
provided for, a total of less than 500 has
been commissioned.
The commander-in-chief of the army
(as 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. Maj Gen. Hugh L. Scott
is now Chief of STAFF and his assistant is
Mai. Gen. Tasker II. Bliss. Grouped
about them in Washington are army eN-
perts of various ranks, who are supposed
to do the thinking about general problems
for the whole army.
Should the United States send a mill
tary expedition abroad, the commander
would undoubtedly be one of the seven
active major generals. These are given
below, with their present assignments and
headquarters:

The Patriotic Acre.

The stirring events of the past
week have made new people in the
United States, yet in no condition
wrought by the change does a single
phase stand out so much as that OF
patriotism which, since the reading
of the Presidents ultimatum to the
imperial German government, has
been as cumulative as it has been
timely.
From all parts of the country Of
fers are being made from citizens in
various branches of business, indus
try and private life, that may be OF
assistance to the government should
war be declared. One class which,
as producers, are the vitals of the ma
ton, has not yet been played up in
the newspapers as rushing to the aid
Of the country with proffers of as
sistance. Through no lack of patriot
ism the farmer has remained silent,
probably because he could think OF
no tangibil1ty on which to base his
offer.
This problem, if it is a problem to
the American farmer, has been solved
by Canadian farmers who, due to the
participation OF their countrymen in
the present war, arc two years in ad-
vance OF their American neighbors in
the matter of substantial patriotism.
Shortly after they were called into
the war, through suggestion made
by member >of their association,
each farmer in Canada was asked
to donate one acre of his farm to
the use Of the government or for the
cause Of the allies.
This proposition was received with
suchs enthusiasm that within a few
months more than 5000 acres had
been pledged and the product of the
acres was turned over to the war
fund. Through the medium and un-
der the circumstances which they
were donated they became known as
the patriotic acre." which name has
chung to them throughout the war.

. Since the news OF the diplo-

Lowden has given plain evidences that he
understands the duties when a crisis may
impose. He has acted In accordance with
our best traditions. His prompt message
to President Wilson. which put Illinois at
the head OF the procession of patriotic
American commemorative, and his ad-
dress to the general assembly were both
acts of wise leadership.
