If he mes wrong., One need go back no further than the Spanish-American war to find out how readily the American citizen re- sponds to the call of arms. But ther is some sound reasoning in the gen- cral's remarks pertaining to our de- pendence upon volunteers. not depend upon them, army, We must our regular while not to exceed sane pro- portions, should be of such size as to warrant protection to theé country. In the days of the Revolutionary war volunteers were just as good sol- diers as men raised in the profession. In those times every man could shoot and shoot straight. In this day and gouneration, there are few sharp shooters among us, and, what few we have would be practically useless com- batting an enemy equipped with all the modern appliances of war, The machine gun has pragtically ob- literated the rifle. It takes a platoon of well drilled men to -handle a ma- chine gun. Therefore, these men must be trained as part of the regular standing army. At the next session of congress one’ of the big fights will' be waged over the bill providing for a better national defense. It is to be hopea that the congressmen who represent this sec- tion of the country will- have the in- terest of theiy pedple at neart and lend a helping hand to any measure that will make for the betterment of the safeguarding of all that is held dear to the American heart, Our coast defense is a thing that needs atterition and the highest facili- ties should be placed at the disposal of those in charge of our military affairs, General Wood has made the sugges- tion that we should have sixty thou- sand troops for foreign garrtsons and from one hundred and sixty thousand to one hundred and seventy thousand mnobile troops within the continental boundaries of the United States. It would take forty thousand: officers to govern an army of such sigze. Com- pared to our population of one hun- dred million souls, it 1s readily seen that a standing army the size General Wood recommends is not too unweild- 1y, nor too large, nor would it verge on the military. An army this size, coupled with well trained state troops, would do away with the necessity of the raw recruit, the result of frenzied volunteering. In time of danger the country need never fear, however, for the lack of volunteers. Patriotism has Leen instilled in the American breast. All that is needed is an army big enough and capable enough to safe- suard the nation. “Universal peace will be brought about by a deeper sense of harmony, of which the musician is the true teacher,” comments an cminent com- mentator.

Germany gives us a poke in the ribs and England adds a slam in the sides; then, both kick us together— and in a very tender spot.—Philadel- phia Star. When the European war closes, Germany will find it necessary to re- sume relations with other countries. Na nation in this age can maintain an independent economic system, and Germany least of all nations has sought to do so. When she resumes trade relations her danger will be that with current capital destroved, and with no adequate means of providing far -the restoration of usual, business relationships upon the necessary scale she will find herself hopelessly crip- pled.” She cannot lock with success to her past sources of supply in Lon- don and Paris, and she is likely to find relatively little atid available in the neutral countriesx. Germany now depends practically entirely upon her own internal resources, both of cur- rent manufacturers and of capital. Outsiders cannot determine exactly how rapidly she is trenching upon either and residents of the country as alveady noted, are deprived of -he usual standards of comparison. Ier leaders, under these conditions. are likely to come to the end of her strength without much warning, and unexpectedly, both so far as their awn people and the outside world =re concerned. When the German nation does thus reach the limit of its en- Aurance for the present recovery is likely to be much slower and more dificult than in the case of other countries. The ‘“economic laws,” which are said by some to have hecn | successfully over-ridden by German organization and combination have a way of reasserting themselves.

Is This Mr. Relliy? (Meriden Journai.) “Tipper#ry” has ceased to be the popular chant in the British trenches and in its place has come a new song. “Is This Mr. Reilly?” The new song is said to be of American origin although an English composer has Jjust asserted that he wrote the music more than thirty vears ago. The song heard just now wherever the Tommies are gathered together is rothing else than our old ravorite, “Is this Mr. Reilly they speak of so high- ir?" Several months ago it became a craze with the English soldters. In or- der to buy the rights for this country song publishing company set out to learn the source of the song. It was written by Pat Rooney, one of the most pogular of vaudeville com- edians a score or more or years go. His son is now on he variety stage. Pat Rooney was an Irish impersonator and singer, who wrote ‘Is This Mr. Reilly?” in 1883. It was copywrighted. The music company ich had bought outright the Fnglish text used by the Tommies. which is not unlike the original aw the represen- tatives of the family and Lought the copyright, although no- Lody was sure whether it was re- newed. copyright had not been renewed, the publishlers got little from Reoney ' heirs. Thereupon firm put an market, using words written. So it seemed to be established that the song which is the inspiriation of the English soldiers in the trenches tcday was in really written by an Igish American actor thirty-two vears ago. The “Mr. Reil referred to in the text was always supposed to verse: Rooney 50 the another which it had Holliday street the principal theatre in Baltimore. When Pat Rooney went there and made the acquaintance of Mr. Reilly, who inspired him to write the song, he was the star of Tony Pastor's traveling company. But it was the effort of an English {alking machine company to get the rights to use the song that brought out another claimant. This is none cther than Leslie Stuart, composer of “Floradora,” half a dozen other well known musical comeates and endless comic songs. “I wrote the music to the Tommies’ song,”” Mr. Stuart asserts definitely and with the determination to defend his rights, “and T wrote it thirty-five vears ago, Tt belongs to me.” We give these brief racts as gather- ed by the New York Sun. so that when the words issue forth from vour neighhor's phonograph or the Sunday night quartette, you will not make the mistake of assuming that there is a rchearsal of the Thomas L. Reilly Marching club in preparation for the next congressionat campaign Meriden prizes Mr. Reilly very highly, however, and not at all impro- beble that the marching club will be out with its words for the song in due season. wn Then the F social 1t Began.

McVey has pasted printed placards that wo- men in bathing suits would not be atl- mitted to the postoffice. Until this season the residents have gone between the beach and their homes in bathing suits that were cov- ered with long rain coate. = But the costumes are so exceptionally attrac- tive this vear that the women aban- don the outer covering and wear them morning, noon and night, whether they are going for a swim or not. | In fact, the postmaster says many | of the bathing suits, with skirts that look like nohing more than a ruffle, | never have been wet. . There has ben a daily and nightly exhibit of shapely legs in stockings of the brightest hues, and in many instances without stockings and on the board- walk and in the streets. Mr. McVey objects to the postoffice being used for the purpoges of such a display, and he posted printed eards reading: “'As it is a misdemeanor to appear in public in scant attire, no one in a bathing suit will be permitted. in the postoffice hereafter.” Many women in bathing suits of the | end tomorrow, it is not extravagant to | postage stamp variety—small, bright fear that it may evenrtuaily iwelve figures to estimate its and awful total.

ASKS MAKERS OF MUNITIONS FOR DATA War Department’s ' Actton Leads to Some Speculation But All Fears Are Set Aside. Washington, Aug. 12.—Announce- ment that the war department had asked American manufacturers of war munitions for data as to their faeill- ties for furnishing supplies, particu- larly in the event of an emergency led to some speculation here today, al- though officials explained that the action was in accordance with the usual practice both in normal times ag well as in war. The announcement declared emphatically that no pur- chases of war supplice was contem- plated at present. The step, it is explained, was made necessary because of the fact that rractically every private plant in the country is taxed to its capacity filling war orders for the warring nations of Europe. General inquiry has been in- stituted to ascertair whether ex- pansion of facilities has kept pace with the demand and whether the | Bovernment would be certain of a | souree of supply to supplement the output of its arsenals and armories, which ordinarily produee only a part of the supplies needed.
