The Dalles Daily Ghroniete. 8DB8CKIPHOSrrKICE. One week . 15 One month 50 One year 6 00 FRIDAY. ...... .SEPTEMBER 23, 189S OUR GREAT MILITARY NEED. We must abandon the happy-go lucky system under which our war department has always been conduct ed. We must have a general staff, such as every armed state in Europe maintains, if we are to be ready when the next war comes. Take, for example, the general staff of the German army, the most perfectly organized in the world. It is a larc body of selected officers the best id the army from major generals to young lieutenants. Its functions are to see that each depart ment of the service is organized and efficient, that all are prepared to act together on the instant, that eyery item of information for which a com manding general might call would be accurately and instantly forthcoming. The general staff knows every day where every fun, every cartridge, every uniform is. It knows precisely how many railway cars, carts, horses, etc., there are at every station. It knows how many troops can be con centrated at a given point within a given time. Best of all, it keeps the several departments quartermaster, subsistence, medical, etc. in perfect touch each with the other so that each will respond at once upon call. All this is what is called "mobilization." What a difference it would have made if we had had some such effec tive means of mobilization as this at the outbreak of the Spanish war! How disastrous the lack of it would be to us if some stronger nation than Spain should suddenly force us into war! President Maso, of the so-called Cuban Republic, calls the American people "our ally of yesterday, our host of today and our friend always." This characterization is all right. The American people have shown a friendship for the Cubans without any precedent in the history of the world. They have expended hun dreds of lives and hundreds of mil lions ot dollars to give freedom to the Cubans, and they did this, too, without any immediate expectation of gain to themselves. They promised to let the Cubans set up an independ ent government if the majority of the Cuban people desire it. This promise will be kept. But there is no reason to suppose that a majority of the Cu ban people want a separate govern ment. When the voting takes place it will undoubtedly be shown that most of the Cubans want to become part of the nation with freed them, and which is able and willing to give them the stability and the progress which they could not gain by a gov ernment of their own. Cuba, by the free voice of its r.eople, will annex itself to the American republic. Dealnes) Cannot be Cared by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eus tachian Tube. When thi9 tube is in flamed you have a rumbling eound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is en tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous sur faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars ; free. F. J. Che.net & Co., Toledo, O.
