He proposes to adapt military' methods to economic production, thereby creating a sort of territorial economic militia which will be at the tame time a basis of a war-time militia. According to the report, Ienine in a speech de livered the latter part of January thbi vrar said: "We must now adapt our war ap paratus to new work." and later In the sinm speech: "We must create armies rf labor; we must concen trate our forces on the labor front with the niKXl'.ini of tension, with a tnilv military' si irit of Implacable: der is '.on." j The report further says: j "It M'cms that the pian of action . elaborated by the povernnient con templates two f's terns.

WS Garfield Duild- änt. üetroit. Mca. S i James Monroe. boned boy of eighteen, and left William and Mary's n liege to enter the Iievolutien. Monroe remained in the public service until 1S25. when ho retired from the White House a wrinkled, care bent. impoverished old man. In those 4 3 years, he hail been a minor military officer under Washington: repeatedly a member of the legislature, a member of the Continental congress and of the na tional senate; twice governor of Vir ciria; minister to France. Fngland and Spain: secretary of state and war at the s-ime time and finally president for two terms. Without wealth or family In fluence, with a slow, commonplace mind, with no pifts as a speaker: with a modest awkward presence and plain, unpolished manners, this very ordinary man plodded up the ladder of ambition to its topmost rune. How? Hy sheer force of his rucked. courageous, industrlou. honest loyal character a triumph of the homely virtues. Although b" f illed in some rf his most important tafUs. Monroe's failures were forplven because they were honest mistakes. The ridicule and tho disgrace brought upon him by the most spectacular episode of hU undramatic life would have bur led forever a man more brilliant and b-ss sincere. This remarkable scene was l -acted on the highly theatrical staue of th national convention at Paris directly after the vJcign of Terror and the fall of Itobespierre. when France was the outca.-; among na tions. At that moment. Monroe ap peared as the envoy of the only sis ter republic a-d. to let all the world see that the . volution had at least one friend left on earth, the presi dent of the convention melodram atically folded the. rustic Virginian in his arms. After two years, he was recalled for his zeal, und came home In a rage of indignation. Passing by tho ate of Mo'unt Vernon without pay ing his respects to Washington, he paid them Instead lr. ,"00 pages which he published in defence o? himself and in denunciation of the administration.. Nevertheless, the discredited diplomat was Bent to Paris again by Pres't Jefferson In a few years, when he came away cov ered with success. and with 1 e treaty for the purehasti of Louls.ana under his arm by a fitting preluda Sept. 2. 1920.
