The Mixup Over the Army.
From the Springfield Republican,

The republican Senate fixes upon 400.
600 men as the right size of the army in
the year beginning July 1. The republic
a House voted that $780, 900 was large
enough. Our "pacifist" secretary of war,
as he used to be called, recommended
500, 900 as the irreducible minimum. In
this t~opsy-turvy world, the cueerest re-
v1rsals are possible and we may yet see
the National Security League demanding
absolute disarmament and Henry Ford
preaching preparedness. Meanwhile, the
real solution of the Washington mystery
Is probably this: The republicans are
trying desperately to cut down expenses
SO as to cut down taXes-a p~raiseworthy
effort-a1d that means cutting down the
most expensive army in the world below
even the figure deemed safe for this par
ttcular period of a "pacifist" secretary.

Where That Spike Went.

Answering a question as to what be-
came of the gold spike that was driven
into the last rail laid In building the Union
Pacific railroad On its completion in 1868,
a subscriber writes: " 1t was first pho
tographed and then melted up and recast
into very small spikes about 15-t6t,s Of an
inch long, and they were distributed to
the more prominent railroad MGR. present.
Among the recipients was my father now
deceased, from whom I received one Of
the photographs mentioned and a minia-
ture gold spike. There are probably very
few OF these now In existence. The orig
inai spike was full size and engraved
with the officers names and titles. Vhe
