bic of rapid expansion into a well
trained and disciplined army of such
size us may be needed to bring the
war to victorious conclusion.
! submit that the new citizen Army
of the United States, although ske1-
etonized during peace, is capable of
rapid expansion in war. We must see
to it, however, that the skeleton forces
are strong enough in peace auf so
trained that they can accomplish the
expansion mission that would be theirs
in an emergency.
There is q great difference between
a nation that believes in preparedness
and nation that is actually prepared.
The measure of the difference is the
size and kind of a peaCe-tin1e 'estab-
lishment maintained.
I have recommended and still insist
that adequate preparedness for the

Regular Army of $4,000 officers and
$50 900 enlisted men, Thoroughly
trained, as our first line of defense and
as instructors of our civilian soldiers.
Our National Guard should consist of
at least 200. 900 officers and men, thor
oughly organized and trained, as our
second line of defense and capable of
reinforcing the small Regular Army
without delay. The Officers Reserve
Corps should be made up of $4,000 to

capable of organizing y divisions of
the Organized Reserves during an
emergency. for these must bring vic

Corps in schools and colleges should

them must come most of the 200,0
officers that ma jor emergency would
require. Our citizens military train
ling camps should train from $4,000 to
100000 young men each Summer.
From them must come large numbers
of commissioned and non-cc,uuissioned
officers that would be needed by the
Organized Reserves during war and
the soldiers that would be immedi-
ately needed in an emergency for the
expansion of the Regular Army and
the National Guard.

citizen should take over as citizen

That is the antithesis of milttarisn.
The advantage of these Summer
camps in national health alone Is
worth many times the money ex-

citizenship that they inculcate into
our sons means in future more active
citizenship during peace. The Army'S

She Married a Prince
By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

ri ERHAPS we have all thrilled over the
III story of beautiful Elizabeth Patterson of
Baltimore, whose childhoods ambition was to
become princess.
And, sure enough, one day there came rid
ing into her town Jerome Bonaparte, brother Of
the illustrious Napoleon, and in due time the
two were wed.
But right here the thrill goes out of the
story, for Elizabeth was princess in name only,
because the naughty Bonaparte family never
recognized the American girl and her husband
finally left her with young son and married
an obscure European princess, Catherine Of
Wurtemberg.
And from that time forth Elizabeth Pat
terson, like great many other people, went
about disdaining the true, good things of her
life and pulled up over the false Until her
death at the advanced age Of "a, she never
could forget that she had been welded to
petty royalty and she never looked at her life
except through eyes that saw first of all the
stupendous fact that she, an humble American,
had borne son to French Bonaparte
Her father, good and great man, one of
the pioneer builders Of America, was over
Swallowed in her mind by the unfaithful jerome
and his strutting warrior brother.
Pride very often makes people lose their
sense of values like that. It is very fine thing
to be able to count among your ancestors some
one who has performed great deed or lived a
noble life and we are all, to certain extent,
Influenced by our progenitors, but it is very
foolish indeed to allow ourselves to become
naughty for the reason that we have sprung
from family that was powerful by right of
might alone.
For in nine cases out Of ten, the blue blood
in your veins does not give you half as much
character as that bestowed by the good red
corpuscles of some far-off peasant ancestor The
princes of the earth, as whole, have con-
tributed more of devastation and wickedness
to humanity than any other class, and that
thing which we are often wont to call heroism
is SO often merely braggadocio. We should be
proud of our forefathers, but we should take
great care that we are proud Of the things
which deserve pride instead Of those qualities
which merit only condemnation.
