plans are working smoothly he expects
to have we'll disciplined body of men

vigorous, earnest recruits, would give
such young men adequate training for
the department without expense, and
would provide the Police Department
with a reservoir of likely material
upon which to draw as necessity arose.
Men trained and made policemen by
way OF the police training corps" said
mr.. Wanamaker, "would save the city
three months service and salary for
each man appointed to the police force,
because the men would be trained be-
tore appointments and qualified to go on
patrol when sworn in, instead Of at
tending the training school for three
months under salary, as is now the
practice"
Nelghborhood and business units will
be enrolled in the civilian reserve for
emergency duty in much the same way
that the Home Defence League was or
ganized, although Mr.. Wanamaker's in
tention is to have the same compact
ness and strict discipline in that
branch of the reserves as in the train
ing corps.
Every member of the reserve, to
whatever branch he may be assigned.
must pledge himself to obey police or
ders and enforce and obey police regu-
lations. Every member will have a
numbered badge that he must wear
while in uniform. Promotions are to
be made strictly upon merit, and
neither non-commissioned nor commits
stoned officers may attain their ranks
without passing examinations. Nor are
they to be reduced in rank t'without
full inquiry and an opportunity to be

demanded. "Should we not anticipate
that England, with whom we had a
slight friction as to Venezuela, and
France, with whom we contested as to
Mexico, will, as our friends. demand
that the bars Of the Monroe Doctrine
be Withdrawn as to them in South
America, and shall we not ask if the
policy be withdrawn as to our friends
the same must be W the peace treaty
extended equally to all nations in
volvcd?
"Can we fail to see that as we adopt
closer relations with Asia, benefiting
II we DO, from any service of japan

treaties with Britain or Russia). that
we become in sense of equity in n
position of obligation to listen to any
grievance that these friendly Asiatic
people may have against any policy of
ours which, they insist, disgraces their
nation or injuries their people? If the
demand is made by Japan or her ally.
BRITAIN, to request of us the granting
to Asia privileges of citizenship to the
same extent we grant to Britain and
france, can those nations decline to

The answer to these riddles, Senator
Lewis declared, lay in Woodrow Will

newly awakened America" and in the
united loyalty of the American people.
President Wilson, he asserted; "would
never sacrifice any principles necessary
for the full protection of America for
the convenience or profit of any other

Loyalty to the declared course" he
continued, "devotion to the object to
be attained and united and patriotic
