UR STANDING ARMY.
Not thstandlng the almost univer-
do timent existing in the United
against a large military estab
linht‘nent there doubtless is a com-
Mtively small number of persons
(can give anything like accurate
(ling-es on the American standing
' 1It is probable that very few
1) ate citizens are aware that the
Inimum strength at the standing
army has just been increased by the
addition oi! more than 6,000 men, and
in tact they care very little about it.
The fact is that the minimum
strength of the army has just been
raised from 82,666 men to 68.96], ex-
1111111111. 0135,2013 Philippine scouts, and
._ the 574 men of the Porto Rican 1egl-
inent. The cause for this increase is
the observance of the new law e11-
larging the coast and field at tillery,
and organizing the latter into regi-
111.111.111.11 maximum strength of the
. army; remains, in the discretion of the
C president, 100,000 men according to
. the reorganization law of 1901. This
law gives the executive the powor,
never possessed before, to increase
.‘ or decrease the army within that lim-
it. This provision makes it unneces-
sary in time oi were for the president
nary in time of war for the president
bringing all the regiments up to a
war footing.
Before the Spanish-American war
the regular army numbered 28,500
men,Zlncludlng the West Point cadets
111111 professors. At that time the max-
‘ ‘ lmum strength or the cavalry as 6,611

14.026, while the engineers were cred-
thed With 617 men. At the present
. time the United States cavalry num-
‘ hers 13,020, while the engineer corps
has been increased to 1,294 men. This
shows how materially the army has
.been Increased in the last decade, and
yet how this change has taken place
without the people of the country be-
ing aware of it.
””1. 1n point of numbers the United
States regular alloy is more than
twice as effective and It was prior to
1898, and the improvements that have
been made In other respects serve to
make it much more capable of. meeting
the requirements that would be made

volved in a war.
There seems to be no doubt but that
the governor will sign the bill to do
away with the side rooms or saloons.
Then what? Will the women who ire-
quent these places lino 11p with the
men at the bar or will there be saloons
for women only, or will the hotels grab
the traffic, or will the Women give up
drinking? it the bill docs what It is
intended to do, It will put a slop to 11
