'They go to neither extreme, but advocate a course of proceedure which will keep down the cost Iand yet will furnish an armed force adequate to meet all emerg encies. They want to avoid war -but realize fully that war may, -be forced upon us whether we want it or not. they realize, -too, that in modern warfare the man with the besf, gun bags the game. The people have been ex pressing their sentiments in the newsj:.pers, and in public places and have been writing to their senators and congressfnen, with the result that congress ia at last getting down to business and preparing legislation necessary for the protection of the wealth and the people of our country. But congress is by no mea nsj a unit in wbat to do and ho w to do it. ,There are extremists in congress as well as among the mass of the people. But these appear also to be in the minor ity. In both the senate and the house a very strong sentiment prevails in favor of increasing the navy and the regular army and providing a reasonably strong force of volunteers as a second line of defense. The most mooted of all ques tions appears to be that of the volunteers. The president and a small following in congress and the country at large. favor the continental army scheme in preference.- to increasing the - size of the National Guard of the several States. Others are opposed to the pro posed continental army. They do not consider it practical for a country operating under a re publican form of government, and unhesitating state that it is a dangerous weapon of offense to place in the hands unreserv edly of any president. They take the the position that we have no means of knowing who our future presidents may be, -and to place such a force in their absolute control would be to surround thiem with a wall of bayonets that might tempt them to assume dictatorial powers that would be immnicable to the best interests of the people. tProbably a majority of the representatives in congress an d of the people favor increasing the navy to formidable propor -tions, recruiting the regular U sure and Pri .d public in g ts and entran aer Boycean< Drgy to furnish up those si Ness. are well known bro, g, and with pride, we claii in the past, we not only us pull together for the b W HAVE e of our trade for the benefit of ou e market for snaps in merchandi petition.

Thus the president would I have at his command a federal force of 150,000 the 250.000 men at all times. The governors of1 the several States would have subject to their orders a force ofI a million men in time of peace, 1 while in the event of a threaten- ' edaasion this force would an- c tomatically pass under the con trol of the president without 1 further legislation. This force of guardsmen should be divoced C from the necessity of perform- t ing strike duty during labor 'l roubles, leaving -that to the E Sheriffs and police officers. Increasing the National ~dard E in this manner would supply the 9 tecessary force in time of war.

"The idea is beginning to penetrate the Teuton's head that this is not a war of victories but a war of extermination for his species' writes Mr. Kining. The idea is beginning to penetrate the head of the world that Great Britain is attempting to make it such.
