FRIDAY, JUNK ai. mix.
TWO YEARS IiATB.
The war department announces
that It has In contemplation the
arming of 4.000,000 men by January
1. 1S19, says the Portland Oregon
ian. Gradually the size of tha tns.'t
before America enlarge and the vis
ion of the men who have in hand
Americas war preparations expands
We have had to educate a secretary
of war n' well as nio-it of the Amen
can people.
It is too late to cry over Bplit
milk, and loo late to undo the In-
calcuablle damage done liy our mis
taken policy of unpreparedness. Will
any one rise now to defend it any
one except the fatuous and seir-But-lsfled
Creel, who publicly thanks tiod
that we did not get ready for war?
President WIIboii is not primarily
to blame, nor Secretary Baker, nor
George Creel, for our refusal to pro-
pare. The whole American pooplo Is
to blame. Not even some of the vali
ant critics of tho president who are
now loudly deploring his lack of fore
eight had much, or anything, to say,
until the emergency was upon us. Let
that much Be said for President Wil
son. He "kept us out of war" and
he was rowurded by a re-election.
What would liavo happened1 If he had
called the nation to arms In 1914, or
at any time before November 8, 1910,
it Is Impossible even to guoss.
But General Leonard Wood was
not thoib president, nor a candidate
for anything, and ho was free to
speak, so far as a soldier may speak.
He spoke plainly to tho congress of
the United States eighteen months
ago two and one-half years nftor
the European war began and four
months before it became an Ameri
can war. It was also two months lift
er the president had been vindicated
by the people for his policy of "keep
ing us out of war."
The nation-was asleep In tho midst
' of alarniB. General Wood's wan Un
voice crying In the wilderness of the
Judgment day to come; but it wttn
not heard. Yet there are sonio who
think and doclare that wlmt ho li.id
to say then is now only too wall re
membered by those whom hu Im
pliedly criticised.
A part of General Wood's testi
mony Is reprinted elsewhere. It is a
remarkable exoneration of n patriot
who saw what was coming and who
described fearleBBly and bluntly what
should bo done to get ready for it. 11
is both Instructive and prophetic.
General 'Wood Insisted; that the
necessary arms, equipment mid' sup
plies lie Rrranged for an army of 4,
000,000 men. Now wo hear that wo
shall have, on January 1, 1919, an
army of 4,000.000 men.
It Is two years late, hut not, vv
hope, quite too late.

Parents and friends need no fear
that tho bodily wants of their hoys in
France uro not well provided for,
says Fronds Rogers of The Vigil

there was just cauo for complaint,
but, so far as my many opportuni
ties for observation give mo'i right lo
speak, conditions aro now gononillv
satisfactory. Many times I Itavt
shared the soldier's moss and have
never failed to gut a gootl nioal. There
ure no trills about the Hervlce, nat
urally, but all tlie essentials are
thero wholesome food, ample in
quantity and well cooked. Tho form

ih now remedied; our hoys nre fl-elll

Hospital conditions, which last fallj
wero far from sullsractory, nre vast-!

The simple, regular, out-door lire
has done wonders for the health of
tho boys. Their chests broaden,
thoir cheeks grow ruddy, their mus
cles harden, their eyes brighten,
they gain in weight. "Does my hoy
look very fat?" asked the mother of a
boy I had seen a low weeks before.
"Ho writes he has put on twenty
pounds." "No," I answered, "he
wasn't fat ut nil. Ho is now Just the
fine, big, husky lad that nature al
ways intonded hlin to be."
