We have already reached that minfmum. I belleve that now is the time to curb that tendency to cut.

It was our first President who said that ‘to be prepared for war is one of the most tual means of preserving peace.” Officer Corps Needed. Asx one of the first steps to bring about that end, Secretary Weeks said: “We should seize the first opportu- ity to bring the Regular Army back to the proportions which are requir- ed,” and added, “We cannot ever again imake the mistake of expecting good soldiers to rise overnight and good officers to be turned out in quantities in_three-month periods.” z PDeclaring the officer corps “is really the backbone of our military stem,” Mr. Weeks said that security for the future must rest “upon the foundation of our leadership. “I do not belittle the enlisted man— ours is the best in the world,” he continued. “It because 1 appre- ciate him that I emphasize the need for officers to give the soldier his best opportunity to fight for his ntry and for his life “In my last ann report I stated that, with 18,000 officers authorized, we would not have enough to do all fthat might profitably be done.

TAMPA, Fla., December 2.—That former President Wilson, in his greatly improved physical condi- tion, purposes to take an active part in the politics of the demo- cratic party during the next two years and to have a share in shap- ing party policies fof the next presidential campaign, is indicated in a personal letter from the for- mer President to Frank G. Heaton of the Tampa Tribune. “My pulses are quickened by the prospect of battle,”” the former President’s letter said. The letter, in part, follows: “The task of 1924 is to so mob- ilize our intellectual and moral forces as to assure a complete de- feat of the party which has done the country so serious a disservice and to win again for our govern- ment the leadership In the affairs of the world of which the repub- licans for the time being have deprived it, and personally I feel confident this can and will be done.

Failure of the proper authorities to see that the car tracks at 12th and E streets northwest were prop- erly graded, and not careless driving. caused the accident yesterday in which No. 7 engine was wrecked, and its chauffeur, A. H. Wernig, probably fatally injured, according to George Watson, chief engineer of the District fire department. “Wernig was one of the best drivers in the department.” Chief Watson de- ared. “It would be suicidal for us cut down our speed while answer- ing alarms of fire. Whenever a fire department is called out, you can bet there is an emergency, and the orders given to every man in the depart- ment are: “‘Oet to the scene of the alarm as quickly as you can with safety.’ ‘Werniz was driving the heaviest type of machine we have and the maximum speed it is capable of developing is only twenty-two miles an hour. I doubt very much If Wernig's particular _engine could do that now : it is pretty old. It is plain enouzh what happened. Wernig was bounced out of his seat by the un- usuzlly rough places between the car tracl lost temporary control of his wheel and crashed into the oyster truck before he could bring the engine around again. It was an unavoidable accident. Accidents Expected. “The idea of cutting down the epeed of the fire department is a bad one. Last year we had only twenty accidents and you must expect such accidents as long as you have a fire department and automobiles. trouble is that we have too many drivers who are so dumb that they refuse to stop when they hear a fire bell. Let every motorist remem- ber this: When you hear the gong of a fire engine stop dead, look to see what direction it is going and don’t move, unless you are in its path, until you are sure it and all other fire apparatus answering the alarm are past.” In defen@ing his belief that the shington fire department does not 68 alarms of fire since Janu- This. the chief points out, is one 1 the opinion that this vuld make.

We have scarcely the present store of effective planes tHat we would need in an emergency, nor the complete facili- tics for training the personnel that we shall need in war. The national regulation ,of air activities and the provision of a system of airways are matters which are essential to the development of air power. “Some steps in the direction of at least providing an effective plan for our development of air power should be taken at once, and as our finances are improved the actual building of the emergency stores. njuries are not serious.
