GREATER ARMY AND NAVY
Our old friend, Allen Steven, says
some very nice things on military
training ip The Day Book, and I
hope Jas. H. Dolsen~ will now come
back with another article. 1t is a
question that I would like to see ar.
gued in the The Day Book.
believe if we had the Swiss sys-
tenn of training we would be all right,
as it is very efficient. Mr.. Steven
should remember that it is Ger,
many's overwhelming numbers that
would enable her to "clean up Swift
zerland in less than six months" and
not because her system is any more
efficient than that of Switzerland.
It seems to me that we should de-
sire a large navy first of ALL one that
would allow us to maintain as many
first class ships Of all kinds in the
Atlantic as England could put there.
And, besides that, we should have a
Pacific fleet, not only large enough
to guard our coast, but strong
enough to go to the far east and
hold our possessions there if Japan
should try to take them.
When l hear some Americans say:
ooh, we would probably lose the
Philippines and Hawaii in the begin
ming of a war with Japan, but we
would take them back again later
on" it makes me feel pretty sore.
Why should we be in position that
would allow yellow men to take our
property? If we do not want to pro-
tect our island possessions, for the
love of Pete sell them and save US
the humiliation Of having them
wrested from US.
With such a navy we could get
along with, a good standing army of
half million or so and a second line,
of defense, composed Of reserves
who have had, let US say, about one
years compulsory service (eVery one

riders hat whirled from his head and
he pitched sideways out Of the saddle
as II struck by lightning.
A moment later the report OF the shot
reached Marie. She glanced over her
shoulder and saw Hardy outstretched
on the ground, fiaccid and inert.
With O suddenness that almost threw
her pony Off his nimble feet, she
wrenched him around. The mare had
stopped within two strides. and twist
cd her head about to look ut her fallen
master. The manner In which he had
fallen showed that the shot had come
from up the coulee. Flinging herself
from her pony, she plucked Hardy's
rifle out of its sheath and leveled Il
across the saddle. But she could see
no sign of the assassin. and no Sec
ond bullet came whirring across the
coulee. Without a second look up the
coulee. she bent over to rip the hem
from her underskirt. This gave her n
bandage. Her own and Hardy's hand
kerchiefs served for a compress. Swift
ly she bound them on the long wound
above his temple aEd stopped the
bleeding.
When at last he opened his eyes. his
head was In her lap. He gazed up into
her down.bent face, his mind still In
n daze. A frown OF pain creased his
forehead. He murmured, In the queru.
lous tone Of a sick child: Mother
mother !"
Tnstinctively her soft hand began to
smooth away the frown with a gentle,
caressing touch. His eyes closed In
restful contentment. The girl con-
tinued to stroke his forehead. Sud.
denly his eyellds lifted. and he looked
" with the clear. bright gaze OF full
consciousness. He saw the womanly
compassion In her beautiful face. Her
eyes were tender and lustrous with
sympathy for his suffering.

shot? In the head1" He lay still,
considering this. Her look had not
altered under his gaze. From her utter
lack OF self-consciousness he OWNED
that she thought him dangerously II
not fatally wounded. After Il pause, he
began to speak with the calmness that
sometimes masks the most profound
feeling:
