The recant throat of “unploas antneoa* with Germany brought bouse ton haanly our inability to meh into a war that might bo protracted far eav oral years. Ono feature of the Garrison achemo to to brook up the army posts in the interior and establish them in various coast or border towns, where the troops would be available for immedi ate use in case of invasion. As they are now, there would be the necessity of moving them across the country, which would mean a waste of time and money. The interior of the coun try is in no danger and therefore Credit Furniture XX/HY disturb your capital! You can furnish your home out of your income. There are many people today who are very anxious to buy new articles|of fur niture, and who are not disposed] to spend their savings or disturb their cap ital yet are in need of new furniture. These are the people we want to take advantage of our easy payment plan. A large number of mighty nice people are buying of us this way, and all seem satisfied with our terms and treatment. A.

This is apparent to the most casual student of the situation, and yet the removal of these army posts is one of the rocks that lie tn the path of th* Garrison plan. These posts are just money-makers for the towns in which they ar* situated, for the wages of men and officera go largely to the trades people of the locality. Natur ally these people are loath to give up a good thing like a steady business of that sort. Therefore, they com plain to their congressmen, and these, seeing their political prestige threat ened, are interested to save the posts as they are. And here lies the dan ger to the plan of removal; it may be sacrificed to the selfish interests of individuals, unless there is a sufficient sentiment aroused to put patriotism ahead of local advantage. The Garrison scheme in its entirety is not yet generally understood, but enough tom tame to light to arouse discussion, and it to said that congres sional leaders have expressed them selves as opposed to anything that looks like a makeshift in either of the war departaMOto—army er navy.
