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

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
