Tbe United Slates army it not a ry large, powerful or Imposing organiza tion in comp&fUton wouh any of tbe arm tea maintained by tbe loading powers of Europe. It i a curious fact that tbere are In tbe aerrice of this govern ment more than twice at inuuy posl inttaters, for example, an there are en lilted soldier, lu other worths, the UuluM States has not an uniiy large enough to permit of a policy of plac ing one aoldier at every pout otl!oe in the United States in time of koiuo Midden emergency, and even if the strength of the army were doubled its force would still be Insufficient for such a pur pose. This condition of affairs ia not pleas ing to military men generally, nnd I army officers have many times consid I ered the advisability of the adoption of some system oy wuicn ine Birengin at the army in some sudden emergency could be Increased. Tbe prize essay of the military service institution for this year, for example, deals with the ques tion of establishing a system which In time of need would be utilized in rais ing a volunteer army for almoat imme diate service. The essay is at kast In teresting, although naturally it Is written from the point of view of an army officer. According to this away, tbe best sys tem to provide for any sudden emer gency of wwr would be one which had been mapped out in advance, and for the proper working of which some preparation hod previously been made. Tbe emsy proposes in effect that the regiments of tbe volunteer army shall be raised on ft system which allows one regiment to each congressional district, and one also to each territory, exclu sive of Atnekn. Such a system would call for a force of about 435,000 men, or 361 regiments, each regiment hav ing 1,200 men. Of these 301 regiments the greater part would naturally be infantry. It is proposed, for example, that 235 regiments of Infantry, CI of heavy artillery, 30 of light artillery end 4 of cavalry would repre sent a fair apportionment. The officers of these regiments woulS be commis sioned under federal law, tbe colonel of each regiment being a regular, with a rank not above that of major of the active list of (the army, and bis service requirement being restricted to not more than one month in each year. I5y some such system as this, it is olaimed that, when war should break out, at least the officers of the different regi ments would be men of some experi ence in military affairs. The proposi tion Is- somewhat original, but it is not likely to be adopted in This country so long as the present system of the na tional guard Is in existence. lloston Advertiser. AMERICAN VS.

Tbe Engineer of London does not, we are sure, intend to pose as a humorous journal; but, nevertheless. It is some times quite amusing, particularly when trying to demonstrate to its own satis faction, and to make its readers be lieve, that things regularly done here in Amerlcn are, as n matter of fact, "im ponsible, don't you know." In its Issue of September 10 is pub lished the official record of the fast run between Phlladerphla nnd Atlantic City, X. J., for the month of July last, this record showing the time, from start to ittop, to average 48 minutes for the ii't miles the figures varying slightly on different doys. The table was fur nished by the Uuldwln locomotive works, and sliowed the performance of the train In detail for every day of the month, while accompanying it was a profile of the road, showing the grades traversed. One would imagine such Information from such a sorce to be nntitlcd to ac re pt a nee In a respectful manner, and, In fact, for the time being, the figures were allowed to go unchallenged, end In its ifcsue of October 22 the Engineer even published a letter from E. K. Clark, of Leeds, testifying that be made the trip on the locomotive of the train on a day when tbe distance was covered In 47 minutes. In its Issue of November 10, however, tbe paper returns to the subject in a leading editorial, and, re ferring to the official record before pub lished, It sayst "Beyond all question, that official record is quite fallacious. It is not true either in substance or in fact. It is a record of .mechanical Im possibilities. Nevertheless, wj think we have actually got the scientific troth in Clement Strstton's letter, which will be found in another page." Reference to Mr. Stretton's letter, shows that tt relates to a run made in 1893, when the time made was 6Sy4 min utes. There ia not a scintilla of evi dence against the record of 1807, but because of the slower time in 1803, the record for the last season "is not true either in substance or In fact," Now the question Is: Does the En gineer really believe that because a cer tain rate of speed was not attained ia 189S, therefore It cannot be In 1807, and that anyone who claims it can be is mendacious, or does It deliberately In tend to resort to mere pettifogging methods to deceive Its reader ? We must confess that we see mo other al ternative. Nevertheless, the Engineer is forced to admit from Mr. Stretton's) figures of the run as made' four years ago thaA American locomotives do make faster time than English ones. Americas Ma chinist.
