NATIONAL DEFENSE tContinued form Pag* 1 1 president “What Is meant by being prepared ? If it means that we are pot ready upon brief notice to put a nation iu the field, a nation of jneti trained to arms, of course wo an* not ready to do that; vl we shall never be in time or peace so long at we retain our present po litical principles and institutions And ■what i« It that ta suggested we should be prepared to do? To defend ourselves against attack? We have always found means to do that, and ■hall find them whenever it is neces sary without calling our people away from their necessary tasks to render compulsory military service In times of peace. From tho Fir*t. » From the first we Imv* had a clear and settled policy with regard to tit - I ltary eatsMlehment*. We never have j had. and while we retain our present I principles and ideals we never shall have, a large standing army.

Th* Only Thing. "Let us remind ourselves, therefore, of the only thing we can do or will do tVe must depend in every time of na ttonal peril, In the future as in the past, not upon a standing army, nor yet upon a reserve army, but upon a citieenry trained and accustomed to arms. It will be right enough, right American policy, bated upon our sc* Our Sales in f Augusta arc \ lIUYLER’S COCOA, LIKE HUYLER’S CANDY, IS SUPREME ciiatomrd principle* and practices, to provide a system by which every cit izen who will volunteer for the train ing may be made familiar with the lino of modern arms, the rudiments of drill and maneuver, anil the main tenunce and sanitation of camps. We should encourage such training and make it a means of discipline which our young men will learn to value. It is right that we should provide It not only, taut that we should make it its attractive as possible, and so induce our young men to undergo It at such times as they can command a little freedom and can seek the physienj development they need, for mere health's sake, if for nothing more. Every means by which such things can be stimulated is legitimate, and such a method smacks of true Amer i lean ideas. The National Guard. "It Is righl, too, that the National Guard of the States should be de veloped and strengthened by every means which is not inconsistent with our obligations to our own people or with the established policy of our government. And this, also, not be cause ih*> time or occasion specially calls for sudi measures, but because ii should be our constant policy to make these provisions for our rational peace and safely. A Reversal. "More than this entries with it a reversal of the whole history and character of our policy. More than this, proposed at this time, permit me to say, would mean merely that we had lost our self-possession, that we hud been thrown off our balance by a war with which we have nothing to do, whose causes cannot touch us. whose very existence affords us opportuni ties of friendship and disinterested nervier which should make us asham ed of any thought of hostility or care ful preparation for trouble.

A Powerful Navy. “A powerful navy we have always regarded as our proper and natural means of defense; and It has always been of defense that we have thought, never of aggression or of conquest. Hut who shall tell us now what sort of navy to buildT We shall take leave to he strong upon the seas, In the fu ture as In the past; and there will bo no thought of offense or of provoca tion in that. Our ships are our natu ral bulwarks. When will the exports tell us Just what kind we should con struct—and when will they be right for ten years together, if the relative efficiency of craft of different kinds and uses continues to change as we have seen it change under our very eyes in these last few months? It Is Not New. 'But T turn away from the subject. It Is not new. There Is no new need to discuss It. Wo shall not alter our attitude toward It. because some amongst us are nervous and excited. We shall easily and sensibly agree upon a policy of defense. The ques tion has not changed its aspects be cause the times are not normal. Our policy will not he for an occasion. It will be conceived as a permanent and settled thing, which we will pursue at all seasons, without haste and and after a fashion perfectly consistent with the peace of the world, the abid ing friendship of states, and the un hampered freedom of all with whom we deni. I.et there be no misconcep tion. The country has been misinform ed. We have not been negligent of national drrfense. We are not un mindful of the great responsibility resting upon us. We shall learn and profit by the lesson of every exper ience and every new circumstance; and what is needed will be adequate ly done.” Peace in Europe. To peace In Europe the president referred briefly. "We are the cham pions of peace and of concord." he said," he said. "And we should be very Jealous of this distinction which IHE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. we have sought to earn. Just now we should be particularly jealous of It because it is our dearest present hope that this character and reputation may preserltly, in God’s providence, bring us an opportunity such as has not been vouchsafed to any nation, the opportunity to counsel and obtain peacar in the world and reconciliation and a healing settlement of many a matter that has cooled and interrupted the friendship of nations. This is the time above all others when we should wish and resolve to keep our strength by self-possession, our influence by pre serving our ancient principles of action.” French Casualties Pari*. The French war office does not Issue lists of war casualties. A correspondent, by inquiry in various quarters, estimates the French dead up to November 10 at something un der 100,000 men. The number of wounded and sick being cared for in French hospitals November 19 appears to have been about 400,000. The Swiss government’s bureau for the exchange of prisoners has the names of 90,000 French prisoners In Germany. These figures added put the total losses of the French army at about 690,000 men. The French estimate the number of Germans killed in battle on this fron tier as considerably exceeding 100,000, because German tactics have been more continually os the offensive. Ttw French military administration does not share in the popular view that the German losses have been enormously in excess of those of the French. Neither is credence given to reports of bad provisioning of the Ger man army and of soldiers of the fam ished and driven by overwork to ex haustion. French commanders find German prisoners defiant and confi dent and there is no indication of starvation except where troops have been cut off from the main bodies.
