The reported dispproval by President Wilson of the gen
eral stall plan to have the regular army increased to 220,000, to
provide for a reserve of an equal size made up of former regular
soldiers, and to increase the state militia by federal aid to 220,
000, thus making the military force of the country aggregate
660,000 men, has the thrown the war department into confusion
and the question of national defense fro mtlie viewpoint of the
department is said to be entirely up in the air.
President Wilson has called for a revision of the war de
partment plans and has also invited Chairmen Chamberlain and
Hay,, of the senate and house military committee, respectively,
to confer with him in regard to legislation for army increase.
Chairman Chamberlain has been quoted as favoring liberal in
crease in the army and Chairman Hay, while known to be op
posed to any considerable increases', has been quoted as saying
that he would support the wishes of the President.
Chairman Hay is said to have a plan which contemplates
a satisfactory solution of the question through legislation at the
coming session of eohgress. His plan involves conferences in
which the higher ranking members of the house and senate mili
tary committees shall take part, with a view to deciding upon a
course of legislative action to be embodied in bills to be present
ed in both bodies when congress assembles. If this plan should
materialize, the members of the committees likely to be asked
to confer before the assembling of congress are Senators Chain
berlain of Oregon, Hitchcock of Nebraska, Lea of Tennessee,
democrats; Warren of Wyoming, Du Pont of Delware, of tht
senate committ(*e, and Hay of \ irginia, Dent of Alabama and
Fields of Kentucky, democrats, and Kahn of California and
Anthony of Kansas, republicans, of the house committee,
These members have had much experience in military legis
lation and it is believed they could evolve a plan of militarj
preparedness adequate for the needs of the'country, at. the sauu
time keeping the expenses within the bounds of reason. Sucl
legislation, it is believed, probably would appeal to the Presi
dent, who, it is said, does not want to gd befrr* > tlm country tc
ask for a bond issue, which would' be necessary should an ex
pensive scheme of army increase be adopted.

Capt. von Papen insists that the English, by failing to print
all of the letter to his wife, in which he used the expression
“idiotic Yankees,” put him in a false light. The term, he said,
was applied only to some of the New York editors. With this
modification, we are perfectly willing to agree with him.
