FOB STANDING G ARMY OF 200,000 AND OBLIGATORY TRAINING Hotel Mecting Endorses Demand For Compulsion and 48 . Dread. noughts and Battle-Cryisers. New York, Jan. 6.--The tvioney" of the National Guard for actual military service, the 'useless. ness'" of the "Continental Army", re- commended by Président W#son, and the "necessity" for a programme of immediate preparedness to include 48 dreadnoughts and battle-cruisers, # standing army of 200,000 men, and obligatory military training of "all fit citizens were-the chief points emphasized yesterday by Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and others who "'ineffi- | "No volunteer 'sbldier is worth anything until he is trained. 1 was in the National Guard three year: and was no better {ha anybody slay and if I had been in a fight I woulc have made a better fight than any of the members of the.

Guard except under Federal control Jt must be made what its name im plies --a national and not a state foree." d oy Calonel Roosevelt added, accord ing to the report, that the Govern. ment should appropriate no more money for the National Guard until it. was brought under féderal con trol. Speaking next of the Continental Army advocated by President Wil son, Colonel Roosevelt, according tc spoke at a luncheon-conference in the Biltmore Hotel between the) Board of Trustees of the Americap | Defense Society and the soclety's ad- | visory board. At the conclusion of | « discussion that lasted two hours or | more, those present unanimously en- | dorsed a formal statement prepared | by Henry Reuterdahl, the naval ar- tist, which, embodied the specific | platform of preparedness advocated | by the speakers. It was after Colonel Roosevelt had | gone that what purported to be. a summary of his speech was made public unofficially, According * to these reports of the speech, Colonel | Roosevelt bégan by strongly urging | "obligatory" military service by all] fit citizens. "Suffrage, the Colonel | was quoted as saying, "means the | obligation to defend one's country If we can get Vincent Astor and eo | man from_ Mulberry street--or one from Roosevelt street, for that is the worst street in New York--under a | dog tent together in training, it will | be good for both of them. Military | training means greater cohesion and each of the men would learn some- thing from the other and be the bet- ter for it." Volunte erin Colonel, Roosevelt next pointed | out according to the reports, "the | fallacy" of depending upon volun- teers for the defence of the country He wags represented as saying: "In England they say, 'Be a sporty and join the army!* You'd laug h at such a pronounciaments as 'be a! 2 Fallacy. | | i Grippeand Colds Cannot remain in the same "house with Dr. Hickey's Speedy Cure and Dover's Cold Break- ers.

Four years ago he hought from the the Sutherland estates, with an an- nual rent-roll of £2,600, which among other things included Mr, Stewart's birthplace, a tiny coituge At Drumbeg, in the parish of Assyat. A few months later Mr. Stewart bought from the Duke for £66;000 a further large tract of land in the par- ish. of Assynt, which included house property, a deer forest, a shedp farm, and Sali holdings, with a rental of 4100. Yet it is not since Mr. Stewar with just 10s. in his pocket. was afterehe had tried farming no engineering in Scotland, and decided that the Colonies offered him more Scope. for the realization of his ambi- tions. Obtaining work as a farm on a Frénch-Canadian farm, he ultimately settled down In British Columbia with the money he had saved, where he found work on. tle railway.

Paris, Jan. 6.--The order of the day issued by General Joffre, the French cominander.in-chiel to 'the army on New Year's.Day, has just reappeared in an army bulletin. "Soldiers of the Republic," says the order, "at the moment when this | year of war is terminating, you may consider your work with pride and measure the grandeur of what you have accomplished. In the Artois, in the Champagne, in the Woevre, and in the Vosges, you have inflicted upon the enemy resounding blows and caused him sanguinary losses, losses incomparably greater than 'otirs. The German army still holds out, but sees its numbérs and re- sources diminishing each day.
