THE STANDING ARMY OF THE
UNITED STATES.

If there were nothing more to be con-
sidered than the necessities arising in
the United States, it would probably be
possible to demobilze the standing army
of the country down to the 10000 which
is proposed by the national House; but,
unfortunately, there are other considera-
tions which must enter into the dis
cussion of what forces should be kept
under arms. The United States is no
longer an isolated nation, standing
proudly aloof from the world and world
politics; nor was its work done when it
entered the war and turned the balances
of battle in favor of the allies. There is
still a great obligation resting on the
United States and an obligation which
will remain for all time, albeit the urg
ency of the cause may diminish as the
passions sink in the increasing years. To
be prepared to meet that obligation the
United States cannot demobilize to the
point where the standing army win be
little greater than is needed to act as
police protection for various parts of the
United States and our possessions The
former size of the standing army is out
of date now. There must be a greatly
superior force from now until such time
as the relations between nations become
composed and the war spirit is complete
ly wiped out. An army Of 100000 or of
10000 men will not fill the bill.
Therefore, it would seem to be wise
for Congress to enact legislation which
which call for a standing force during
the next fiscal year considerably larger
than the House has fixed upon. 1t may
be that the Senate has requested too
great an army for the needs of the sit.
ustion developing from July l, 1919, but
if the United States is to maintain a
force of 100000 in Germany for an in
definite time, it may be entirely neces.
sary to authorize an army of 53T 600
officers and men. There is some likeh-
hood that the American army of occupa-
ton will be reduced during the fiscal year
to a point much smaller than the 100000
men, in which case the requirements
would not demand an army of $4,000
But the uncertainties of the situation
make the Senate figures for a standing
army more reasonable than the figures
fixed upon by the House.

CURRENT COMMENT
Daylight Saving in Peril.

If the farmers of the country have
their way, our beautiful institution of
daylight saving, which last year brought
health to all classes Of this community,
except farmers, than any device, appli-
ance or medicine ever tried before in the
history of the race, will be lost 10 US
henceforth. The agricultural committee
of the United States Senate, acting un-
der the pressure of the farming inter
ests, has unanimousl y7eported in favor
of the repeal of the daylight law,
and it is understood that a similar report
will be made in the House As the farm
ers are in a majority in this country, and
as the congressman are especially anx-
ious to please them, there would seem TO
be a good chance of repeaI--although it
will have to make Roadway against the
favorable personal experience of every
senator and representative.
1t is surely unfortunate that a device
which brings so much benefit and pleas
ure to everybody else except the farmers
should not also be convenient for them.
However, the farmers have to look out
for themselves; they say that if they
do not, nobody else will. In order that
the activities of the hired man and the
arrival of the hour of six in the morning
shall synchronize with the drying off of
the dew all the rest of us may be com
PEELED to forego this delightful arrange,
ment. What a pity that the farmers
cannot remain on their cd eo'ar SEIZED
ule and leave others to the enjoyment of
the daylight saving plan. Tran
