it will take from 100000 to 1O,00O,-
600 men in a standing army to prop

attack, the cost of maintaining which
will be almost prohibitive, but we have
an equal number in our citizen trained

and in addition we have all the pene-

the training; this will far outweigh
the cost.
THE benefits of the system advo
Gated by the Chamberlain bill are
generally conceded and the only rea-
son advanced for not putting the law
into effect at once is the fact that
we are now at war. We maintain
that the lesson of our present unpre-
paredness should be used to get the
legislation thru now to go into eff
feet when the new national army has
completed it's training and the can
tonments are available for the pur-
pose. The people are prepared for it;
many thousands of them have so ex-
pressed themselves by resolution and
otherwise as in favor of immediate
action. There is not the least rea-
