TO DEFEND MN ■■■■■■■ Permanent Military Policy Is Now Proposed. J Important Change Intended to Induce Economy and Increase the Value of Our Army and Navy at Same Time. Washington.—Within the next 12 months there will probably be established in the United States a Council of National Defense. Its primary pur- I pose will be to lay down a permanent military policy upon which this country shall work in the future. In the council will be brought together representatives of congress, the president’s cabinet, the active organizations of the army and navy and the two big strategic institutions, the army and navy war colleges. The civilian or congressional representatives in the council will be equal in number to the combined representation. of the army, navy and cabinet. Under the direction of this council the amount to be expended for the army and navy, the way it shall be spent, the policy to which all military development shall conform and the extent to which the country shall enlarge its defences and its equipment will be thoroughly thrashed out and determined upon before any appropriations are asked from congress. Recent developments resulting in the mobilization of a part of the army along the Mexican border, the fact that every detail of the equipment and preparation of the army for action is now under the closest scrutiny, and the fact that army and navy experts agree that some definite military policy must be laid down by the United States to prevent enormous waste of money, make it probable that the new scheme for a council of national defense will become law as soon as the new congress settles down to work. Positive statements by leading officers of the army and navy make it clear that the United States is spending more than $230,000,000 every year on its military equipment, without any definite policy being followed, and without getting much more than half the value of its money. Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood declares that “no one knows what we are trying to do.” Brig. Gen. William W. Wotherspoon, president of the Army War College, says that the army could be enlarged and made three times as efficient for the money now being spent. Rear Wainwright says that both the army and navy could be greatly improved in efficiency without costing more money. Officials of the army do not mince matters in declaring that a general council to prepare a military program for the country has become an absolute necessity. The “technical men," as the active heads of the army call themselves, are virtually left to prepare the military policy, and it changes as often as their Identity or their opinions change. They carry it to congress and congress may change it again by cutting down the estimates for appropriations and completely upsetting the plans of the men they often regard as “enthusiasts.” Officers of both branches are frank in their criticisms of the existing situation and of the waste of money which is following the development of the army and navy without any general permanent policy to follow. Brig. Gen. Wotherspoon regards the creation of the council of defense as essential to the military efficiency of the country. “The great trouble,” he says, “we find at the War College is in ascertaining what the policy of congress is in regard to military affairs. We can only deduce that from its legislative acts. If we crystallize those into a few sentences it would be this: that congress expects, on the breaking out of war, that the gathering together of untrained, unskilled .and uneducated men will constitute an efficient army for the country. “That has always been the course pursued and until we get some council like this probably it will be continued. The result of that apparent policy has been most disastrous in the past, both financially and from the point of conservation of our human resources. In the .war of 1812 Great Britain had never at any time on this continent a greater force than 16,500 soldiers. We mustered into the service 527,000 men, more than half a million. In 1878 we had a pension roll of 78,000 pensioners from the war of 1812, costing over $500,000 more than the entire regular army cost in 1311. That is simply an Illustration.” The Council of National Defense will not be in any sense a board of strategy in time of war. It will be concerned wholly with the general military policy and will be a continuing body which shall at all times demand that army and navy progress conform to this policy. By such means it is believed that something like full value can be secured from the $225,000,000 annually poured into the national defence of the country. BRYAN SACK IN THE SADDLE. With the Democrats now in complete control of the house of representatives, the influence which William J. Bryan may wield over that body la a matter of public Interest. While Mr. Bryan has virtually eliminated himself as a presidential possibility, he has strongly entrencned himself as a dictator of the party. And this js true, even when his influence in the senate is measured.. A glance at the Hit of Democratic United States

senators elected since January 1 shows a condition important and astonishing. At least six of the seven men chosen to sit in the upper branch of congress are out-and-out Bryan men—men who before the election were his friends and supporters and who, after election, openly acknowledged him as their leader. They are Johnson of Maine, Kern of Indiana, Martine of New Jersey, Myers of Montana, Lea of Tennessee and Reed of Missouri. These, with the Bryan men already occupying seats, will have a controlling Influence. There can be no doubt about his success in the recent senate contests. Johnson, from the Pine Tree state, has been a Bryan man since 1896. He was a strong supporter of Sewell and has been constant throughout in his allegiance to the Nebraskan. Martine of New Jersey prides himself on having been the original Bryan man. He never neglected an opportunity to run for anything on any platform that would Identify himself with his leader. He was the original, unalloyed Bryan man, without guile, price or place, and he Is unqualifiedly for the policies of the Nebraskan today. Myers of Montana is a protege of Bryan. His one asset when he went to the great copper state was a letter of introduction from Bryan. Later Myers studied law and got into politics. He opposed the election of W. A. Clark to the senate and was one of the three legislators who arranged to accept bribes of SIO,OOO each with the purpose of securing conviction, and deposited the same with the presldiiig officer in the joint caucus. In the house of representatives, too, the Nebraskan . will be powerful. Speaker-elect Champ Clark is enthusiastically a Bryan man. Underwood, alsb, the chairman of the ways and means committee, and Sulzer, the head of the committee on foreign affairs, are Bryan adherents. With the exception of Fitzgerald of New York, the chairman of the great committee on appropriations, jpractically all of the chairmanships have been parceled among Bryan men. STOPPING FEDERAL LEAKS. It develops that it was an investigation by a subcommittee of the new majority in congress, headed by A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania,, which resulted in the Democratic caucus deciding to lop off $182,680 worth of salaries in the service of the house. This report has been made public. The committee found that Nena, the thirteen-year-old daughter of Chief Doorkeeper Frank B. Lyon, was on the pay roll as “clerk to the doorkeeper” at a salary of $1,200 a year and getting an extra month’s pay each year as part of the cheerful gratuity that congress is wont to give its employees. The investigating committee was unable to discover any functions which the “clerk to the doorkeeper” could perform worth such a salary. “During the Spanish-American war," writes Mr. Palmer in his report, “somebody’s friends told somebody’s cousin that somebody’s aunt had had some one say that a plot was on foot to dynamite the capital. Thirty-eight extra policemen were added. They have remained ever since.” So the committee is going to lop off the official heads of the 38 policemen. This will save $39,000 a year!. One of the funniest relics of an ancient but forgotten situation was found in connection with the service of two telegraph operators. Many years before the telephone was invented a private telegraph line was established between the war department and! the house wing of the capitol. Two operators were provided for this wire. The telephone came along and nobody used the telegraph any longer. The ■operators didn’t say anything about it, and it never occurred to anybody to ask what they did for their wages. They just drew their salaries. They got $1,400 apiece, which seemed good to them. Now they are going to compelled to learn the Morse cod.e again and do real work, and not with “Uncle 1 Sam.” Away back In 1895, according to the Palmer committee, the clerk’s document room of the house was abolished. With It were—or were intend-ed-—to go all the employees and officials thereunto appertaining. But the clerk’s document room was a good thing-—too good to be allowed to expire thus ignominiously. It went right on drawing its salaries. These amounted to $6,250 a year. Nobody ever undertook to enforce the abolition act. — — -■ ijEX. HE MISSED THE WEDDING. They are telling a right funny story in Washington about the special elevator privileges in the different departments and how they may work epnfusion to just plain, ordinary people. A youhg man employed in the rfavy department got into the elevator at the close of his hard day’s work, being in a great hurry to reach his home and attire himself in the wedding garments to be best man to an intimate friend. A naval lieutenant got into the same elevator, and was taken to the floor below, where the waiting man desired to got off. On Reaching that floor some more lieutenants got in for the top floor, and the poor, plain government clerk in the navy department was taken to ■ the top floor. At the top floor some more shoulder straps got in, and were f |aken to their floor, and so they kept (his up, the government clerk not daring to suggest that he would like ’to get cut until It was too late for him to be best man.

w U| | f£ I TeWtHI HER IDEA OF MUSICAL VOICE Assistant to Entertainer Didn’t Know Difference Between Singing and Sawing Wood. “Ladles and gentlemen,” said tho entertainer, “having blindfolded my partner, I will now proceed to test her thought-reading powers. I have in my hand an apple. Will you kindly tell the audience what it is that I am holding in my hand?” “An apple.” “Correct. I have here a watch. Kindly tell the audience what I have.” “A watch.” “Quite right. You see, ladies and gentlemen, it is Impossible to catch her.” The entertainer produced a piece of wood and a saw and commenced to saw vigorously. “Kindly tell the audience what I am doing.” No reply. ! “This is rather a difficult feat, ladies and gentlemen. I will try again. Can you tell me what I am doing?” said the entertainer, continuing his sawing. “Yes. You are singing.” Loud applause.—Tit-Bits. Patience. Dr. Russell H. Conwell is a great believer in patience, and he recently told a story indicating what he believed to be an example of making a virtue of patience. “A young man was standing at the gate, waiting for his sweetheart, and when at last she appeared he-re-marked kindly, ‘What a time you have kept me waiting’’ “ ‘Oh, dear me, how fussy you are,’ she observed. ‘Why, I didn’t promise to meet you till 7:45 and it’s only two minutes after 8 now.’ “ ‘Ah, Mary, dear,’ replied the young man, ‘but you have made a slight mistake in the day. You were to have been here at 7:45 last evening. I have been waiting ever since.’ ” They Are. “Yes, I witnessed the fiercest battle of the Mexican revolution.” “You did?” “Indeed I did! Saw the flames belching from the mouths of the guns! Saw the men falling! And all of a sudden the insurrectos charged directly toward me! On they came! I could see the whites of their eyes, their wolfish grins, their ” “Gracious! What did you do?” “I went out then. These moving pictures are great institutions, aren’t they?” FORCE OF HABIT. : I II •' Lk j® « A ® I Teacher—He’s always at the foot of the class. Superintendent—No wonder—his father is_a chiropodist. The Brighter Side. Listening without, the beautiful girl’s father could hear the smitten swain sighing exactly like a furnace. “However, he probably eats a good deal less coal!” chuckled the old man philosophically. For though he needs must look forward to having both the young people to support, he could do so optimistically.—Puck. Mother’s Advice. “What are you girls doing?” “Settling our costumes for the Shakespeare ball, mother.” “Take my advice and wait. They may dig up something at any moment to prove there never was such a person, and then where would your Rosalind and Celia be?” —Punch. Their Fault. “The orator we heard last night ’eerned to have sound views, did be ».ot?” “Oh, yes; they were all sound.” Her Material. “That is a queer servant of yours Os what la she supposed to be made?” "She fa maid of all work.”

COULDN’T STUMP SMALL BOY Bully Who Wanted to Kick Empty Bowl Carried by Youngster Is Given Permission. The little boy was carrying home the empty bowl that had contained his father’s dinner, when a big bully appeared. “Do you mind if I kick that bowl?” inquired the b’-.ly. “Not a bit,” said the small boy. “You mean that? Do you mind if I kick that bowl?” “Not a bit.” “For the last time. Do you mind if I kick that bowl?” “No. I should like you to.” “Oh, would you? Then watch me!” exclaimed the bully, as he shattered the bowl to atoms. “Do you mind now?” “Not a bit!” retorted the small boy, edging away. “My mother borrowed the bowl from your mother this morning. You’ll hear all about it wher you get home!” IMPOSSIBLE, jub LJLjA Molly—Jack said he’d spend his last cent on me. Dolly—lmpossible! He spent his last cent on me before I threw bin? over. Singularly Fitting. “They were discussing Brown, his charming manner and his lack of moral responsibility in all matters connected with money. “He means to be honest as the sun,” said one of his friends, “but he doesn’t get around to paying his debts.” “He ought not to have any debts,” said another man. “He ought to havo what my boy in college wrote me for the other day—‘Kathleen Mavourneen’ loans.” “What are they?” asked one of the party. “A ‘Kathleen Mavourneen* loan ‘may be for years and it may be forever.’” said the father. —Youth’s Companion. Thought He Understood. "Now, there’s one thing that I want to Impress upon yon,” said the head of the great corporation after he had formally notified the new general manager of his appointment, “and that is that you are to see that the laws, so far as they apply to the operation of this concern, are strictly obeyed.” “Very well, sir.” "If we can’t do business honestly we will quit.” “I understand. Which bookkeeper do you suspect of harboring an intention to try to blackmail you?” X A Ray of Hope. “I’m mighty glad to see this movement for reciprocity,” said the plain citizen. “It argues for an era of better understanding and’ kindliness.” “You believe it will develop International friendliness?” “I wasn’t thinkin’ about foreign countries. But if Canada and the United States can come to a sociable agreement maybe we can hope that Chicago and New York will yet have some respect for each other.” Running Down Clues. “Ha!” said Burlock Bones, mysteriously. “I have discovered that the man you think so lacking in energy, really has a great deal of push.” “How did you find It out?” asked the admiring friend. > “Hist! I saw him this morning buying a baby carriage and a lawnmower." Would Make Him Care. Juggins—Who was that said if he could make the songs of the people he wouldn’t care who made the laws? Muggins—Don’t know. But If he’s the chap who’s making the songs of the people nowadays I’d just like to have the making of the laws a little while! That’s all. —Red Hen. Not Much Sense. “They talk about horse sense! There isn’t any such thing.” “Why, the horse is regarded as a very sensible animal.” “How can he be, when he evidently does not like the idea of always having a bit in his mouth?” An Odd Outlook. “There is one queer thing about educational institutions.” “What is that?” “A primary excellence in secondary schools to keep them from being third rate.” Skepticism. "A man arrested the other day for ‘mashing,’ says he has an affliction of the eyes that makes him wink.” “Well?” “His excuse made everybody else in court wink.”

MUST FIT PROPERLY MOST IMPORTANT POINT IN MATTER OF GLOVES. • Worn Too Tight, They Will Spoil the Look of Even the Most Dainty Hand—First Putting on Important. Nothing makes a hand more unnattractive than a glove that is too tight. Yet how often one sees women with their hands almost bursting from their gloves, so tightly are they squeezed into them. A too tight glove will make even a Blender, graceful hand look commonplace and pudgy and a hand inclined to flesh almost repulsive. So in choosing gloves one should be very careful to get them large enough, and to have' the patience to have them properly fitted in the first place by a good glove fitter. If they are not fitted properly at first the tips of the fingers never work down and the hand is made ridiculous and dowdy by the pointed tips. If the fitting is properly done the gloves wiki pot twist and wrinkle, and will actually wear longer than if hurried carelessly over the fingers for the first time. If one has to put on gloves without the assistance of a fitter the hands should be warm and the gloves well powdered, then the fingers should be Insinuated into their receptacles, and finally the thumb and the hand should be fitted, but not until the fingers have been carefully worked in. To remove the glove pull it over the hand and do not drag it by the finger tips, for this spoils the shape completely. After removing the gloves and turning them right side again they should have the stretchers used to restore the shape and should be sprinkled again with powdered French chalk. Fresh gloves are a necessary adjunct to the toilet of the woman seeking daintiness, but when they are cleaned they should be cleaned several days before they are to be worn, so that the fumes of gasoline, and no odor is more objectionable to the sensitive nostril, may entirely disappear, otherwise the whole effect of one’s personality may be marred by the disagreeable fumes of gasoline. To Hold Strings. Drawing strings as a usual thing always pull out of undergarments when one is in the greatest hurry. To prevent this sew to each end of the tape a brass embroidery ring slightly larger than the opening in the casing. Buttonhole over with white cotton.

FOR THE BABY. g Q Pique embroidered in satin stitch and scalloped forms this neat little cap, collar and bootees. Fringe Trimmings. Fringes are seen on many of the new lingerie gowns as girdle and tunic trimming. One beautiful variety is of knotted silver braid, very long, and with the strands set very far epart. Strips of cut cloth and leather in Indian fashion trim walking frocks. Coarse crochet has several sizes of email wooden beads knotted into - it. This last gives charming color possibilities in odd, crazy-quilt effects. Bnl the host of these fringe trimmings is that most of them can be duplicatefl by the home seamstress, thus saving money and gaining originality by modification. Small Gift’s Hobble Skirt. There is apparently considerable diversity of opinion as regards the correct position for the belt on the small girl’s frock. Many of the smartest little French dresses show the sash in practically normal place, while on other frocks the belt is so far down as to hamper the tiny wearer in her walk almost as absurdly as does the hobble skirt of the moment inconvenience her elders. The abnormally long-waisted effect obtained by placing the belt almost at the hem of the frock is charmingly quaint on some children, but is uot becoming to every type.—Harper’s Bazar.

TRUE NOTE IN DECORATION Fitness of Useful and Ornamental Articles in Room Must Be First Ccnsideraticn. The true method of making a room beautiful is to make ail the necessary and useful things in it beautiful; so much is this true that it becomes almost impossible to design a really beautiful room that is to have no useful work done “in it or natural life lived in it. An architect called upon to design a room in which nothing more earnest is to be done than to gossip over afternoon teas has a sad job. For a room must always derive its dignity or meanness from, and reflect somewhat, the character and kind of occupation which is carried on in it. For instance, the studio of an artist, the study of a man of letters, the workshop of a carpenter, or the kitchen of a farmhouse, each in its position and degree, derives a dignity and interest from the work done in it. And the things in the room bear some relation to that work, and will be the furniture and surroundings natural to it; as the bench and tools in the carpenter’s shop; the easels and canvases in the studio; the books and papers in the study; and the bright pans »nd crockery in the kitchen. ,All these lend a sense of useful, human life to the room, which redeems it from vulgarity, though it be the simplest possible; and no amount of decoration or ornamentation can give dignity or homeliness to a room which is used as a show room, or in which no regular useful life is lived. For in the work room all things have a place by reason of their usefulness, which gives a sense of fitness and repose entirely in a room, where a place has obviously had to be found for everything, as in a drawing room. New Slippers. Among the new shoes and slippers the latest are those of natural colored linen. A preparation is sold for cleaning these, but they may be worn a great many times before they show a soiled appearance. These would be pretty with the white suit, but with a frock of the same ecru shade as the slippers the effect would be better.
