DEFENSE DEMANDED We demand adequate national defense; adequate protection on both our Western and Eastern coasts. We demand thoroughness and efficiency In both arms of the service. It seems to be plain that our regular army Is too sman. We are too sreat a country to require of our citizens who are engagfed in peace-, ful rocations the sort of military service to which they are now called. "As well insist that our citizens In this metropolis be summoned to put out fires and police the streets.

We do not count it inconsistent with our liberties, or with our democratic to have an adequate police force. With a population of nearly one hundred millions we" need to be surer of ourselves than to become alarmed at the prospect of having a regular army which, "can reasonably protect our border, and perform such other military service as may be required, in the absence of a grave emergency. I believe, further, that there should he not only a rea sonable increase in the regular army, but that the first citizen reserve subject to call should be enlisted as a Federal army aid trained under Federal authority.
