shape. It now numbers less than 60,000 officers and men when it should number at least one million rank and file. As soon as congress confirms a national guard officer as head of the militia bureau of the war department, which is now in control of certain fossilized regular army officers, it is expected the na- tional guard will soon be recruited to full strength, thoroughly organized and equipped, and prepared in every way to duplicate in the next war the glorious record it made in France.
 While there will be, as a result of cutting down the size of the regular army, great changes in the national defense system which will result in big increases of the national guard and the officers reserve corps, it is considered doubtful if the same policy of reduction will be supplied to the navy. There is no substitute for well trained and fighting navy, such as can be provided in the na- tional guard and officers reserve corps when the regular army is re- duced. The navy must be kept up at the top notch of efficiency, number of vessels, speedy ships, and in gun power and trained personnel. No system can be devised as substi- ute for a navy kept at all times ready for battle on the high seas
 For this reason, and because the navy is the first line of defense" it is believed that the congressional economists will not attempt on any reduction in naval programs now un- der way.

These buoys are used in some Of

of the channels.
The New York State Department
of Public Works has worked out a

Cayuga Lakes. Seneca Lake is deep
enough for barges over its entire
surface, but there is a shallow area
at the north area of Cayuga Lake
The electric light buoys are used
to mark points Of safe passage over
these shallow areas. Each buoy is
equipped with lamps and mechanism
for causing intermittent flashing of
the lights and an Exide battery to
supply the current. The Exides are
reeharged every two weeks.
