Washington, April 4. Two notable
speeches were made In the Senate to
day on th army reorganization bill.
Senator todge of Massachusetts pre
dicted that sooner or later the country
would have to come to compulsory mili
tary training.
"At this time this country 1 prac
tically undefended," said Mr. Iodgc.
"Our defences now ko Just far enough,
If we were Invaded 1y a formidable,
modern, welt equipped army, to Insure
the sacrifice of many bravo and noble
lives and nothing else.
"Of the two branches of defence, that
which can most quickly te provided for
Is the defence by land the army. Of
course, If we had a navy competent to
meet an attack from tho navy of any
nation In the world the defence by land,
though Important, would be less Im
portant than It Is to-day. We have no
such navy to-day, and there Is no use In
dwelling In a fools' paradise and telling
ourselves that we have."
Senator llorah of Idaho spoke In op
position to the proposed federalization
of the National Guard. The Senator dug
up the history of the performances of
the mllUla In the various wars from the
Revolution down, and declared that they
had not been sat laf actor-.
Increase of the Payroll.
After commenting on the rapid growth
In Government expenditures, due to the
constantly Increasing payroll, sir. uoran
said :
Now- we are about to put upon the
national payroll 880,000 civilians who
will remain In the community In connec
tion with their business affairs and the
tiolltlcs of the country at an expend!
ture of from J50.000.000 to $71,000,000

"Of course. It will never lie less ir we

activity of a large number of men who,
without charging them with bad faith
or Improper motives, will nevertheless be
Interested In building up tneir sirengrn
and widening their power and accentual-
In it iheir influence.
"I expect 1 shall be told that the

against building up at great expense n

relieved of that duty except upon the

"We must taken Into consideration

country after the pieseut war In Purope

Mr. Horuh referred to the activity of
representatives of the National Guard In
defeating a feature, of tho New York
Statu Constitution.

vention In the State of New York last

Senator Lodge In expressing his opo-
nit ion to a proposal to utrlke out the
section of the bill providing for a volun
teer army raid :
"I shall not spend nny time In meet
ing what may be called the 'argument' of
the pacifists. If their argument is sound
It applies to the use of force for tho
maintenance of law or the maintenance
of national security by every community
and every nation."
The Senator said he favored an army
of 3e0,nno men. He denounced the
House bill as helm; practically worth
less and commended the Senate bill, but
said It did not go far enough. The
Senator advocated a regular army of at
leat 250,000 men and ample reserves.

It divides the militia into "active" and

citizens between IS nnd I."., with the
exception -of a few designated classes.
The active militia Is the organized Na

(iovernor could call out Hie organized
mllltla. but under the new law he also
can call out the "unorganized mllltla"
when the quota of the active militia
falls to measure up to Federal requite

Another change Is In Hie method of

are abolished and heieafter officers will

gan said action was specially necessary
in view of the aiitl-preparednesH meet
ing to ho held In Carnegie Hall to-morrow
night.
"The whole town Is placarded with
announcements, Illustrative of the un
derhand methods of tho committee," she
said. "They don't darn to say 'autl
preparedness" they only say 'the truth
alsiut preparedness.' Tticy are getting
people lo Mil meeting under false pre
tences. They will get them there mid
then attack preparedness. With this
spirit lu the city' it Is up to us women
to do all we can for sane prepa redness."
Afterward Miss Morgan declared that
Miss VVaht was "a uohle woman, no
liner woman In this country, but she Is
on the wrong side of the fence."
Hlx barefoot girls, In lllmy draperies,

Wood had spoken, but if there was any
plan for such a demonstration yester
day, It failed. The suggestion of Capt,

from the faculty ami from the Rtu
denis and already more than the re
quired iiumlier for such a company have
agreed to acquire the. training,
Capt. Huzelllne said that New York

Making Friends of Customers
Personality is among the iirst and foremost of
the factors making for successful business dealing.
Take, for example, a standard, trade-marked,
copyrighted or patented article sold at the same
price everywhere; that merchandiser of such goods
will sell more of them proportionately whose
salespeople infuse into their dealings with cus
tomers the pleasantest personality, or who show
most knowledge of the goods, or command some
other important personal factor.
In possibly 75 per centum of sales the goods
are bought but are not sold, in illustration of
which paradox may be cited the story of the ticket
agent at the terminal station of a small branch
line of a railway. His road was the only wav of
leaving town, but it was said of him that by his
intelligence and business ability and good man
ners, he actually sold the ticket which, although
it would have been necessarily purchased, was
bought by the traveler and paid for with pleasure.
Any reader can illustrate this for himself in his
daily dealings with public service servants, shop
keepers, restaurant waiters, and even some bankers.
We all know how much more pleasant it is to
deal with some people than with others selling the
same goods at the same price. The Harrimnn
National Bank uses its best endeavors to make
relations established with customers permanent,
pleasant and profitable: its desire is to make friends
of its customers.
