War, MEN, GUNS, DOLLARS
Senator Hale Says Officers Think
Only of Spending Money.
Guns Creased, Wrapped in Canvas,
and Lying UseIesS-In War Would
Have No Men TO Man Them.

Senator Hale. Of Maine, asserted on the
floor of the Senate yesterday that two
thirds of the revenues Of the government
to-day are devoted 10 the payment of in
heritances from past wars, like pensions,
which nobody can stop. and expenditures
in view Of future wars
The Senator's remark was called out in
the course Of a brief speech condemning
the bill to reorganize and increase the
efficiency Of the artillery corps. The bill
was defended by Senator Warren, chair
man Of the Committee on Military Affairs.
who SAID; we have appropriated nearly
a hundred million dollars in carrying cut
the Endicot; boards suggestions regard
ing Notifications Of seacoast lines. We
have expensive emplacements, expensive
guns. and no men TO man them. As an
actual fact. the guns already in place are
three times as many as we have men to
handle and man them
The Senator ought 10 have said that
We have no enemies. suggested Mr..
Hale.
IF we have no enemies. said Mr.. War
rem, and are not TO have any guns or
emplacements. why do we appropriate
from 100000 to S15.O00OOO every year for
fOrtifcauOns? We appropriate for these
guns and emplacements and then they
/ are creased over. sewed up IN canvas, and
lie there perfectly useless. and if we had
war we would have no men to man
them"
Congress, " replied Mr. Hale. has been
treated for years to the proposition: First,
that it IS no use to have an army unless
YOU have guns and Notifications. and
l-ssa Ne appropriate literally for fortifi-
cations and guns, then the army turns
about and says, What is the use to have
guns and Notifications unless YOU have
mem and we travel on with military ex-
penditures in that way. It is a constant
pressure on the part Of the army TO
aggrandize itself, first for men. then for
guns, and then men, and there is no end
TO IT,
Speaking Of the army and navy of
fiCer" Mr.. Hale continued He is seek
ing 90 aggrandize himself and he sees
nothing in the country, in the disposition
of its revenues, except to increase ex-
penditures. OF all the taxes that are laid
and all the revenues collected. nearly
two-thirds of them are expended for the
military in a broad way. We can get no
appropriation for the marine of the
country, for shipping; river and harbor
bills are arrested. public building bills
are arrested because We must spend so
much money. and such a proportion of
the public Treasury for military; and SEN
ators ought 10 appreciate that and realize
| that when they seek appropriations for
other purposes they are necessarily linn
tied because we are devOting so much of
the public Treasury to military expendi-
lures. The officers Of the army and of the
navy are accomplished men, educated
men, and If we had war they would be
good fighters; but they all see but one
thing, and that is the constant. ever re-
curing, everlasting ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
their different departments
