Our Little Army

THE proposal that the army be cut to $4,000
men finds justification neither in economic or
international considerations, for if adhere to
the idea of raising great force of citizen fighters
in case of another the machinery of the
General Staff must be preserved intact, nor is our
present handful of divisions before ther conference
OF Washington, as arc the submarine and battle
ship.
1t is hardly conceivable, declares the Kansas
City Times that Congress will give any serious
thought 10 the sIashing proposal. For, this paper
continues:
Unless it is proposed to abandon the training
of officers no worthwhile saving be made by
the reduction OF the enlisted strength OF the army
to the size of police force. There is no reason
to suppose the country has so soon forgotten the
lessons OF the 70 consent to Commit hast
lily raised army to the hands OF unframed officers
If the staff organization is to be retained the
listed strength of the army must be in proper
proportion to it. The former will be retained if
safe counsel prevails. as it promises to- and that
organization calls for enlisted strength OF ap-
proximately 10000.
"The size OF the United States army is not
engaging the attention of the Washington confer
and has relation whatever to the subject of
the limitation OF ornaments Pacifsm may have got
a mistaken idea about that Mitarism does not
speak of an army OF 10000 in a country of
100000 population. We not therefore NOR
ally otherwise bound to reduce our army for the
sake of an object lesson to anybody, or by way of
backing up the conference If VIC had army like
the French the British there might be some
force in such a demand, but the American army is
the mcrcst skeleton organization it is To cut it
in two would be virtually to disarn,, and that with
out producing tho slightest effect upon the military
policy OF any other country
incidentally, the developments OF the Wash
ugton conference do not disclose such peace
loving frame OF mind in the world as to Justify
this nation in throwing its guns into the ocean and
disbandng its forces"

Christianity and Righteous
ness.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
Kindly permit me a few words to
Americas and the many thousands
of other readers OF your valuable
paper.
Righteousness and Christianity
are not the same things. Righteous
ness is perfect moral and physical
health. Christianity is Gods plan
to restore both to all flesh; the earth
also. Righteousness was the origi-
nal condition in which the earth and
all that was created in IL was made.
1t is the natural normal estate of
everything that hath life. All the
treasure Of Heaven and earth is de-
voted daily to the attainment of il.
Christianity is simply Gods method
of restoring il to man, and through
man to everything else. All I'M
righteousness is sin. and sin came
into this world by the act of man
and no one else.
Therefore Christianity has to do
with man and no one else. The
church is the great sanitarium of
Christianity. but this church is not

the period. In the famous hardwood districts
OF Bavaria there has actually been considerable
increment in wood volume due, no doubt, to the
cessation during the of furniture manufacture
and similar industries requiring high grade woods.
:"The German army got all its timber from the
forests of Northern France and Belgium, which in
most cases it cut clean; and while, no doubt,
hitherto unequalled demands for pupwood for the
manufacture of cotton and linen substitutes called
forth increased output, the general principles OF
conservatism in forest treatment not de-
stroyed
Germany can readily meet the demands of
France and the other allies for lumber reparations.
Some of her most broadminded foresters whom |
met only admitted this but actually stated that
such policy might react to Gcrmany's own beneht:
Some OF the richest and most productive soil in
Germany, they said, IS contained within the limits
OF her state and communal forests, and in many
instances policy of destructive dcforestation,
which would permit the utilization OF additional
land for food production is actually desirable
To-day, practically every factory of the South
German area is working at capacity. The paper
and mills in particular are operating twenty
four hours day. (Thrce eght-hour Shifts for the

There is little or no unemployment in South

victor, and the industrial leaders seem to pride
themselves that in military defeat German industry
is better off than that OF the victorious allies. Ono
prominent lumber manufacturer, however, stated
that another with France would be necessary
to readjust Germanys status quo, and while such
opinions still openly given the allies must
realize the spirit of miltarsm is not yet dead"

Prohibition to Continue.
the Editor. The Washington Herald:

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Referring to G. w. Ms commu-
nication in the open Court letters
of December s, / first want to state
that ] do not believe the letter was
consistent with the ideas of your
paper" even though that and space
were the conditions under which
he requested you to publish it. To
be sure. prohibition, as yet, does not
absolutely prohibit. However. in
the minds OF people who reason and
think. there Is not the shadow of
a doubt that II will eventually COM
pletely prohibit; yes, and that in
the near future.
Even now, regardless of the prop
uganda to the contrary, there is
much less Illicit drink made and
sold than before the enactment IF
prohibition. In the mountainous re-
gions of the country, as also in the
cities and other places. where the
moonshiner and bootlegger used to
work under the protecting wing of
the government distilleries ana
warehouses (perhaps without the
proprietor's consent or knowledge
they now must furnish their own
smoke screen, which fails to pro-
vide anything like the cover ano
protection they previously enjoyed,
consequently the business is too
precarious for any but the most
venturesome and brave, and even
they, under the constant eve of the
law. will finally lose courage, be-
come dishearteneu and quit the
business for one more honorable
even though a little less profitable,
and instead of being criminals will
become honored and respected citi-
zens.
Prohibition Is here. and to stay
fact known to everyone except
those too bullheaded to admit de-
feat, or whose judgment Is biased
by either the longing for or tho
profit in disbursing drink. Why
then, waste money for propaganda
that can only add to the cost OF
enforcing and giving the criminal
less respect for the law which mus;
and will be obeyed? Prohibition
would long since have been abso
lutcly prohibitive had none but dry
officers been appointed to enforce
the Nolstead act. Let honesty and
justice take the place of politics IN
appointing these enforcement on.
GERS. and the country will be dry
in less than two years, and that at
a nominal cost. But, whatever hap
pens, Congress must and will ap.
propriate money sufficient to en-.
force the present prohibition laws
be 1t 100000 or $1,000. zoo, 900
for prohibition is cheap at any
price.
God help the best thinking poo
pie Of America IL G. w. Ms state
ment is true. 1, for one, do not be-
lieve. that the only result of pro-
hibition will be "crime, death, and
desolation and an utter disregard
for the Eighteenth amendment by
a large majority of the best think
ing people of America" No; not
even by a small minority.
