WHAT AILS THE ARMY?
8 was to have been expected. Adjutant Gen-
eral Ainsworth’s suggestion that we must
cut down the size o f the army, raise sol
diers’ pay or else resort to conscription,
has raised a storm o f newspaper protest
throughout the country. Perhaps General
Ainsworth did not intend his mention o f
conscription to he taken seriously, but at any rate it has
served his purpose by directing general attention to the
serious state in which the army tinds itself.
The army is 20,000 men short o f its schedule, and o f
ficers are so few that this year’s class at West Point is
to be graduated six months before its time in order that
some of the vacant commissions may be tilled.
What the reason is for this condition has been often
pointed out. The rate o f pay for enlisted men has not
been Increased for over fifty years, and that for officers
for thirty-seven ; yet in that time not only has the cost
o f living increased greatly, hilt pay in all other occu
pations has risen.
It must not be forgotten that the army o f the United
States is on a different basis from the armies o f Euro
pean continental nations. There m ilitary service is a
part o f the citizen's duty. lie is expected to devote two
or three years to the army, and ail citizens are alike
In this respect. In the United States, however, the army
Is a body o f men hired to do m ilitary service, just as
cities hire street cleaners or policemen. It Is in compe
tition with every other form o f employment, and in time
o f peuce no patriotic feeling enters into the service.
This nation must pay enough to attract men to the
army. I f pay is inadequate, volunteers cannot be had.
The remedy is obvious.
I.et Congress appropriate
enough money out of the nation’s enormous surplus to
Increase the pay o f officers and enlisted men to the point
o f attractiveness.
I f this be done, recruiting stations
will be overcrowded with applicants.— Chicago Journal.

LOWER CALIFORNIA WOULD BE USEFUL TO US.
EKE tlie United Slates ready to buy new
territory, probably lr could at this time
make no more valuable acquisition than
the peninsula of Lower California. Aside
from the value o f the land itself. Its pos
session would undoubtedly add mueh
strength to any position which we might
be forced to assume in relation to international politics
on the Pacific, and would do mueh to augment our na
tional muscles, which, as the President has frequently
pointed out so clearly, must be ready for the regulation
and defense of the Panama canal. A well-protected coal
ing station somewhere within striking distance o f the
Pacific mouth o f the canal Is a necessity which is rec
ognized.

RUSSIA’S REVENGE ON JAPAN.
A P A N w ill do well to observe with keenly
analytical eye the formation o f the Russo-
Japanese Commercial Company. This con
cern appears to be a R ssiau organization,
and from what we gather o f the meager
details sent out, it i-s about to inaugurate
a movement o f infinitely more concern to
the Land o f the Plum Blossom than war.
It api>ears. among other things, that Siberian butter
has long been shipped to Hamburg, repacked and re
shipped to Japan as a German production; so also with
Russian sugar disguised as Austrian; likewise Russian
liquors in a German wrapper. These near-food prod
ucts. so it seems, find a ready market in the Mikado’9
kingdom— their relative cheapness appealing, especially,
to the lower clnss<*s.
Having failed to best Japan in war, Russia perhaps
thinks tills is a much more subtle scheme; and so it is.
Unless his majesty o f Japan gets extremely busy and
has his parliament enact some sort o f a pure-food law
with teeth in it, his people will find themselves face to
face with a monster beside which Mars seems a pygmy.

TO SAVE THE BIRDS.
HE statisticians who foot up the loss to the
country resulting from the killing o f insect-
destroying birds, and from our further neg
lect to intelligently protect and foster these
wir.ged scavengers o f the air, put tire gross
sum at $800,000,000 per year. We do not
know upon what facts or what basis o f
computation this enormous total Is reached; but if It Is
one-tenth part true it is a startling showing. The prop
osition o f the federal government to set aside bird reser
vations and breeding grounds where our feathered friends
might be protected in life, liberty and the pursuit o f hap
piness seems to rest upon sound economical grounds. It
is a measure o f safety for ourselves as well as for the
birds.— Philadelphia Record.
