Major Allen praises the comments made by President Roosevelt about the army and the needs of the service in his message to Congress. He particularly approves of Roosevelt’s point that the army must be physically ready for battle, and that the standing army should be adequately staffed with trained soldiers to meet a crisis. He will be hunting mountain lions which have been notably scarce this year, and admires the “soldier’s temperament” of Yellowstone Park supervisor General S. B. M. Young, noting “West Point cannot give it.”
