CITY OFFICIAL
..LET US NOT SWALLOW According to an Associated Press dispatch
MILITARY FAIRY TALES from Washington, "for the first time in
hitsory Uncle Sam is in readiness, at a moment's notice, to arm and equip
500,000 men in the event of war."
Reading further we discover that a "plan" for doing all this has been
"worked out during the last six years through the systematic and unremitting
labor of Lieutenant Colonel J. T. Thompson, under the direction of Brig
adier General William Crozier."
We know nothing about Colonel Thompson. On the face of the record-
he must be a studious officer." General Crozier is an ordnance specialist of
international reputation. But when we read still further we are compelled
to doubt the statement first quoted.
For we read that under the "plan" the regular army "would be in
creased" to its maximum strength, the "entire organized militia" would be
mustered in "at full war strength," and the remainder would be raised by
the "enlistment of volunteers."
All of which shows that the government is not "in readiness, at a
moment's notice," to put 500,000 men
regarded as a good "plan" for doing it.
The plain truth is that we haven't,
"short notice 500,000 soldiers or anything like that number. The present
strength of the regular army, in the mainland United States, is 55,000 men.
These are "ready for service," so far as they are actually in the army and are
not rather recent recruits.
Now that the talk in Washington is again in the direction of interven
tion in Mexico the Washington correspondents gather hints of an expedition
ary force of 30,000 to 40,000 men.
compelled to suppose that the 16,000 coast artillerymen will be drafted from
their posts of duty and sent into Mexico as infantry!
We don't suppose for a moment that the war department or any responsi
ble man in it authorized such a delusive statement as that first quoted above.
Probably some second assistant deputy clerk gossiped about the "plan" to a
Washington reporter and he put on this gossip an interpretation not justi
fied by the facts and productive of a dangerous self-complacency.
Army officers are practically forbidden, by somewhat silly regulations, to
talk about service matters for publication. But if their statements in private
conversation may be trusted the United States has neither artillery nor am
munition for it, nor even small arms and cartridges for them, ready to
"equip" an army of 500,000 men at "a moment's notice," and couldn't do it
under several months.
Furthermore, it takes about a year properly to train an infantry soldier,
at least eighteen months to train a cavalryman and his horse and three or
four years to make a competent artilleryman.
When we permit ourselves to forget these vital facts and our minds to be
filled with such fairy-tale inferences as are quoted in the first paragraph
above we encourage congressmen in the attitude of almost criminal neglect
of the army out of which we will some. day draw such military reverses as
will fill the whole nation with rage and shame.

GOVERNMENT OF Secretary of War Garrison is now on the Isthmus
THE CANAL ZONE of Panama studying the question of the permanent
organization and government of the Canal Zone a question that in view of
the approximate completion of the Panama canal is coming insistently to the
front. Thursday he was taken through the Gatun Locks and went through
Gatun Lake and the Culebra Cut as far as the Cucaracha Slide. He has also
made an inspection of the fortifications of the Atlantic end of the canal.
The Canal Zone situation is rather complicated and in any scheme of gov
ernment three vital facts must be considered. These are:
The Canal Zone is a colonial possession for which some form of govern
ment must be established and maintained by the United States.
The Canal Zone is also a great business enterprise that must be managed
in the best possible way.
The Canal Zone is also a military post which must be under absolute con

Two plans have been brought forward for the government of the Canal
Zone upon the completion of the canal.
the hands of a commission of three men, each with an equal voice. The
other calls for a centralized government organized o. military lines with t
responsible head. Governor Metcalfe
Goethals has put forward the latter.
Generally speaking, a good way to judge the future is by the past. What
is the lesson of the past of the Panama canal?
In 1904 President Roosvelt under the Spooner act appointed a canal com
mission of seven men. The commission was a failure. The commission of
1905 was also composed of seven members, but the control of affairs was
vested by executive decree in three men a civil governor and a chief engineer
in the zone and a chairman in the United States. In 1907 Chairman' Shonts
resigned and the offices of chairman and chief engineer were consolidated
and given to Mr. Stevens. He resigned one month later. A third commis
sion was then appointed, so constituted as to put the responsibility upon on.e
man, Colonel Goethals. -
There is no question of the honesty and ability of the various members of
the several commissions or of Mr. Shonts and Mr. Stephens. There is no
need to set forth what Colonel Goethals has accomplished. The story of
the Panama canal is simply the story of gradual concentration of responsibil
ity. Governor Metcalfe is our old friend the editor of Mr. Bryan's Commoner,
lie has been in the Canal. Zone since last August. His views therefore have
the freshness and originality of first impressions. . .t
