American coast defenses and those not covered by fortresses, and urged that the organized militia be developed to a strength of 300,000 men. Rapid Reinforcement. "It is manifest,” General Wother spoon asserted, "that the great water way of the Panama Canal cannot be protected against the operations of a first-class military power by the pres ent or proposed garrison we contem plate placing there without the power and ability to reinforce it rapidly from the United States. Outlining his view of the army’s first line requirements, General Woth erspoon said: “Careful consideration of our needs would indicate the advisability and necessity for having at all times avail able at home, and in addition to the necessities in our foreign possessions In the first line of our military es tablishment a mobile force of at least 500,000 thoroughly trained and thor oughly equipped fightng men, with adequate supplies for the operation of this force for a period of at least six months. A Second Line. “This is a conclusion that seems to have been reached by all those who have given careful consideration of this question. It is also agreed that we should have as a second line a thoroughly equipped and trained force of organized militia, of not less than 300,000 men properly proportioned as to its staff and several arms with stores and supplies necessary for its ON THE INCURABILITY OF BRIGHTS DISEASE Suppose we agree with those whd believe Bright’s Disease incurable and use the term “life prolonged.’’ Now let us cite three cases. It was 22 years ago that the daugh ter of the late N. W. Spalding, then Mayor of Oakland was at the end of a long siege of Bright's Disease with dropsy and looked upon as hopeless. It was 24 years ago that Mrs. M. Em pey of Steiner. Street was in such a condition due to Bright’s Disease and dropsy that “two of our best physi cians” gave her up. It was 14 years ago that “the most noted analyst in this city” passed on the genuineness of the supposed incurable case of Bright's Disease of Editor R. M. Wood of this city. A 1 of the above are pursuing their daily avocations at this writing, Jan uary, 1914. The ability of Fulton’s Renal Com pound to reduce albumen in many cases of Bright’s Disease is not a matter of opinion but a FACT IN PHYSICS and we will mall formula for albumen test that will show the percentage from week to week.

General Wotherspoon outlined the plan through which he would double the strength of the regular army and create the reserve. The enlisted men would serve a short term with the colors, then pass into the reserves for periods of five years or more, being at all times under obligation to re spond in case of national need. General Wotherspoon contended that the proposed system would be econ omical inasmuch as the reserve offi cers and men would receive pay only during their active service and on be ing called to the colors. He said he saw no reason why the same princi ple as to reserves should not he ap plied to the organized militia. In that connection, he says: Organized Militia. “It must be admitted that unless there be a material change in the laws governing the organized militia, which will bring about a greater reliance upon and an increased control by the general government, that branch of our military establishment cannot be regarded and depended upon as a re liable force.” BRITSMI GERMAN STORES London, 7:53 a. m. —A Rotterdam dispatch to the Daily Mail says: “The British fleet received informa tion Monday which led them to carry out a vigorous bombardment at Knocke and Zeebrugge on the Belgian coast.
