Wanted Longer Army Detaili.
Military men are reaching the con
clusion that one of the next steps that
should be made for the improvement
of army efficiency is the lengthening
of the details. Since the war with
Spain it has come to be the rule .to
limit the assignments of officers and
men to any one post or field of activity
to three years. As a consequence the
army Is ln an almost conttnuoua state
of motion and commotion.
The original reason . for. the three
year detail waa supposed to be a hu
manitarian desire to shield the soldier
from the extremes of temperature,
particularly ln the tropical Philippines
and frigid Alaska, by moving him to
more temperate zones before the heat
or cold should tell upon him too
greatly. It has been learned by ex
perlence, however, that there is no
three-year limit to physical endurance
in the tropics, and as a matter ot fact,
by an occasional change of posts from
season to season, the troops in the
Philippines can have all the benefits
of balmy ocean breezes in winter and
cool mountain atmosphere in the sum
mer without traveling any distance,
The civil officers in the Philippines, as
well aa elsewhere, although aubject
to no three-year rotation, show no
effects of hardship, and certainly trop
ical or Arctic climate can be no worse
for soldiers than for civil officers.
If the reason for shortening the
army detail has disappeared, or never
existed, the reason for longer details
are real and pertinent. Aa it is now
an army officer scarcely becomes lo
cated before be begins to figure on his
next move, and the certainty of its
close proximity takes away from him
the incentive to get his bearings and
settle down aa for a steady Job. Tbe
army ninder this ayatem, both officers
and men, must lack the Steadiness that
helps toward discipline, to say nothing
of the tremendous transportation cost
ot this almost continuous exchange be
tween widely separated stations.
A powerful plea could also be put
in for the wivea and families of our
military men. With no prospect of
abiding in one place longer than three
years, the havoc such perpetual mo
tion makes on the family exchequer
the achooling of the children and the

Peace Through Faith.
In his opening address as presiding
officer of the Lake Mohonk conference
on international arbitration, President
Nicholas Murray Butler ot Columbia
university lays special emphasis on
the idea that world peace la to be
achieved through faith the faith ot
each nation ln the good intention
and sincere purposes of every other
nation. Dr. Butler puts the thought
In most attractive form. "The his
tory of civilisation might be written,
he declare!, "in terms ot man's prog
ress from fear to faith. Aa he has
ceased to fear his neighbors, and as be
haa come to have trust in them, he has
been able to build up Institutions that
have lasted. Just as the individual
haa substituted faith ln his fellow r
tor fear of him,. so nations may well
divest themselves of fear ln favor ot
faith in the other nations of the
world."
That we have made groat advances
in thia direction in recent years, and
that the United States has been a
leader in educating world opinion
toward peace ia a further gratifying
assurance. The very example of the
United States with its popular form of
government, covering an area as great
as Eutope, maintaining ita divergent
sections and varioua elementa at peace
through faith in the triumph of Jus
tice and exerting its influence every
where against war and strife, could
not but be most potent factors in the
larger movement. The governing
power with us is intelligent public
opinion. Why not, asks Dr. Butler,
