‘THE NATION 18 SHOCKING:
RY UNPREF RED.
It is apparent that we are
shockingly unprepared. There is
‘no room for controversy on this
point since the object lesson on
the Mexican border. All our
available regular troops (less, I:
believe. .than 40,000) are there
or in Mexico, and as these have
been deemed insufficient the en-
tire national guard has been or-
dered: out. That is, we are sum-
' moning practically all our mov-
able military forces in order to
prevent bandit incursions. In
view of the warnings of the past
three years, it is inexcusable
that we should find ourselves in
this plight. For our faithful
guardsmen, who with a fine pa-
triotism responded to ‘this call
and are bearing this burden, 1
have nothing but praise. But 1
think it little short of absurd
that we should be compelled 10
call. men from their shops, their
factories, their offices and their
professions for such a purpose
This. however, is mot all. The
units of the national guard were
at peace strength, which .was
only about one-half the requirei
strength. It was necessary to
bring in recruits. for the most
part raw and untrained. Only a
small percentage of the regiments
recruited up to war strength will
have had even a vear's training
4n the :uutional guard. which at
the maximum means a hun-
dred hours of military drill, and.
Men fresh from their peaceful
employments and physically un-
prepared have been hurried to
the border for actual service.
They were without proper equip-
ment, without necessary sup-
plies; suitable conditions of trans-
portation were not provided. Men
with dependent familles were
sent, and conditions which should
have been well known were dis-
covered after the event. And
yet the exigency, comparatively
speaking, was not a very grave
one. It involved nothing that
could not readily have been fore-
seen during the past three years
of disturbance and required only
a modest talent for organization.”
That this administration while
pursuing its course in Mexico
should have permitted such con-
ditions to exist is almost in-
credible.—From Mr. Hughes’
Speech of Acceptance.

to place 5,000 sheep on Pennsylvania
farms on a profitsharing plan, has
met with hearty response from the
farmers who have made requests for
7,000 sheep thus embarrasing the
Agricultural Department which is
without funds to buy the sheep. Pew-
