WASHINGTON. Dec. 20. The mil
ft'xt or the confidential report to
Congress, personteel by the Secretary
or War, which declared that the
rnlted states Is unprepared to resist
Invasion, has been secured by the
press. It Is the report which the
Hones refused to receive In secret
and which was withdrawn by order
of the President when this refusal
was made known.
The report declares that the regu
lar army Is deficient In number and
defective ill other enumerated re
spects, ft says that the organized
nillitlii is also deficient In number,
lacklllK 111 eiiulpinenl, too widely
scattered, and otherwise below the
murk. The Const dereuses are de
ficient In equipment ami ammunition,
the report goes on.
Secretary Dickinson declares, in
summing up that "no well defined
policy ns to Hie development of the
military resources of the country In
relation to the mobile army exists,"
so rur as he Is able to ascretaln.
I'ncllle Need J.'t.'i.OOO Men,
Exclusive of Alaska, the Pacific
Const is nbout lr.on miles lone;.
"The defenses already established."
says the report, "require as a mini
mum for their effective operation
neuinst attack from the sea 10.265
officers and men of the Const Artil
lery Corps. To meet this require
ment we have available in all parts
of the I'nlted Stales, as already
stated, a total force of 20,400 coast
.mlllery and 4 200 mllltla coast ar
tillery. "This roree. If Is thought, could
be assembled In the Pacific Coast
lorts In from 20 to 30 days."
The situation on the Pacific Coast
seems to be:
Mobile troops Needed to defend
the coast from attack. 450.000;
available. 11 4. .'.00. Deficiency. 33,1,
.'.00. Coast artillery troops needed lo
man the defenses. 10. 2II.S; available,
20.400. vjk
The Secretary gives It asJw; opin
ion that the Cnlted StatrV should
have available at all times a trained
mobile force of regulars and militia
approximating i:,0,000 men.

useful presents: doll carta that look

HIS GREAT IDEA.
The Tin Plated Tomato and the Moral
That Goes With It.
A pood theory thai won't work Imi,
half as good as a poor one Unit will.
Twenty years ami a young man Jusi
out of college hud a great Idea. He
waa Holms to tin plate tomatoes. There
wns lu be no inure trutililcNomc purine
and cooking mid canning lu preserve
tomatoes throutrliont winters. It would
be necessary only to drop a nice ripe
tomato Into his tinning solution and II
would come out runted wlih tin and
would keep fur twenty yeurs. In fact,
there wasn't any reaaou why it should
not keep forever: The young inventor
figured It would cust hint (ill cents a
gallon to make this tlnnlnit solution
It surely would sell for 2 a gallon.
Every one eaiv tomatoes that Is. near
ly every one. Everybody wuuld eul
them If they cuuld ulwaya have a nice
tin plated tomato lying around. He
ought to aell a nillllou gallons a year.
That would be a prodt of a nil I Hon and
a half dul Well, no tin plated lonm
toes are on the market yet. and the
man who Invented them la silll making
only $15 a week.
The mural of this la that whenever
you bear of a great Idea that Is going
to reform or uplift the world make
sure that It is nut of the tin pluted
tomato brand. ChU ago Tribune.

A Ladies'
J There is nothing nicer for our wife or mother,
nothing they will apprsc'iate and enjoy more, aud
nothing that will give a more lasting reraeaibnuoe
than a nice set of China Dishes.
Don't be like the Geutleman who arrived too late to "
reut an evening dress suit for a banquet of thirty
or one of the 29 guests at the banquet.
A pruuiluent Eiigllskinaa arrived in this couuu-y, and was in
vited to a banquet. His trunks being ekilayed, be tried to rent
a dress suit for tlie occasion, but was iufuruied by tba tiillor
around the corner that all his suits were engaged for the ban
quet that evening in honor 01 .Mr. Ho-aud-Su. Ue appeared in
plain dress, and when called uhiu for a speech, lie arose (in
plain clothes) and said: "(ientlenien, yon will notice I am not
in evening dress, but as I arrived In your city late this arter
110011, yuur tailor informed we that lie had rented all his dre.e
, suits lor this occasion."
Come in now, to "get a nice set of dishes, or a
' single piece or dish. Something useful as well as
ornamental. A Lady appreciates nice dishes more
than anything else. An ordinary meal will have
twice the grace and relish if served on nice dishes.
You can pay more but you can't buy more.
