$4,000 CITIZEN
SOLDIERS IN NEW
PLAN OF DEFENSE
Secretary of War Wright Sug-
gests Increase in Number
of Militia.

WASHINGTON Dec. 1O.-Luke e,
Wright, Secretary of War. in his an
nual report to the President, gives the
total estimates of his department for
the next fiscal year as S1S9, 755, 039, IN
increase of about So, 0oO. 900 over the
appropriations for the present fiscal
year.
This increase is largely for river and
harbor work, and other public works of
a civil character, for which purpose
about s24. 900, 900 Is asked.
Having in mind the desirability of be-
ing prepared for any attack tina might
be made on one or both of the coast
lines, the secretary recommends that
the general scheme of national defense
shall provide a force of organized
militia Of approximately 100000 men,
900, 900 of these In combination with
the infantry, cavalry and field artillery
Of the regular army to constitute a
neld army of 4o0,0 900.
He estimates that, about 70 per cent.
of the III, 900 officers and men in the
organized militia would respond to 9
call to arms, and of the number re-
spending a small percentage would be
eliminated probably by physical dis
qualification. 1t is estimated that a
little more than 60 per cent.-that 49,
about 81, 000-would be available ~
pfesent in case of an emergency.
The secretary states that in the event
of war with any hrst-class power we
would need at least $780, 900 men for 4
first line of defense, and that, as the
regular army is limited to 100000 men
IL would be necessary to draw zoo,ooC
men from the organized militia.
He suggests that it might be wei for
the general government to stimulate
this result by increasing the annna
appropriations for h equipment of the
militia and for general m~aneuversSSoi
the militia with the regular army.

THE DECEMBER SMART SET.

Americas next war forms the theme of
the complete novel published in the De-
cember number Of The Smart Set This is
an imaginative romance by Arthur Stanley
Riggs, whose fancy scars to almost as
great heights in dealing with the future
as did that of Jules Verne. In this novel,
''In Quest of Fame" the author cleverlY
interrupts now and then the progress of a
charming love story to draw a very logical
picture of the conditions that may bring
on an ultimate conflict within the next
two decades. The clashing of ponderous
armored fleets, the swift swooping of
aerial craft, great cities crashing down
amid ruin and riot and the thrilling ex-
ploits of the hero make one of the most
readable stories of the month. "a Mes
sage to Angelica" by Kate Masterson, is
story of the New York Christmas-tide,
dainty little conception of the various
currents and cross-currents of life that
beat and flow and mingle In the maelstrom
of the great metropolis. Emerson Hough
contributes great story of the Canadian
Northwest to this issue of The Smart Set.
In this story, THE Warrant" he invests
with peculiar romance the hard, sordid,
practical life of that cold, bleak wilder
ness Every reader of Mr. Hough's pre-
vious work knows the peculiarly virlle,
out-of-doors quality of his stories The
Warrant" is probably the best story he
has written this year. Among other
Smart Set fiction of the month are to be
noted Seventeen Candles" by George
Bronson Howard, an eerie, fanciful tale to
be told by an open fire under shaded
lights; Consequences" by Leigh Gordon
! Giltner, a story of love won after mar
rage; I'm Deep Waters" story OF
primeval passions. by Walter Hackett
Symphonies and Oysters" by Grace

Christian Endeayors.

The annual county convention OF
Christian En1eavors was held Tuesday
evening In the Presbyterian church, at
Burlington. Owing to the Indictment
weather there was not as large a number
present as would otherwise have been.
However, there was good representation
of Christian Endeavor workers, Beverly
having sent sixteen delegates, Riverton
six, Mount Holly ten, Delanco three, East
Burlington twenty-five and other local
societies number.
Mr. Bossart, of New Egypt, County
President of Christian Endeavor work,
presided The exercises opened with a
short song service, led by DR.. P. L. Styer
and was followed by the invocation by
Rev. Mr. Phillips, pastor of the Beverly
Presbyterian church. A short verbal
report was received from each of the
societies represented, giving an account
of the work done during the year. Mr..
Baxter, of Trenton, gave very interest
ing black board talk on Conservation and
Education, the initial letter of each word
standing for Christian Endeavor. Under
Conservation Mr.. Baxter gave three sub
heads Time, Tithes and Talents, and
saying that in order to consecrate our
lives and our societies to Christ we must
give freely of these three things Under
Education he gave: Why. What and
When as sub-heads, speaking at length
and in most instructive way of the why,
Christian work.
Following Mr.. Baxter the State Presi-
dent of Christian Endeavor, j. D. Sproul
of Arlington, N. Y, addressed the meet
ing. He tried to impress upon his audi
ence the need of change, of variety in the
Christian Eudeavor meetings, saying that
a set form of service from week to week
grew tiresome and monotonous, aud that
a change from time to time was needed
to keep and increase the interest of the
young people. Power by prayer was also
a very necessary thing for progress and
only through earnest, sincere prayer can
we expect to gain the needed power. Mr..
Sproul said activity in their work was an
other requirement of the Christian
Endeavor societies. the need for more real
active work, as the tendency is to hold
back and say nothing in the services or to
give some quotation from some book,
rather than real, actual experiences in our
own lives, the latter testimonies being the
ones that are effectual and do an immense
amount of good, Mr.. Sproul made many
other excellent remarks about the work of
which he is president, and dropping now
and then a humorous remark to illustrate
some point, his talk was most enjoyable
one.
After the benediction was pronounced
by Rev. j. Frank Lukens, the friends
were invited down stairs where light re-
suitable for so unpleasant a
nj ght, were served, The convention was
one of much interest to all who were
present and was one of the most successful
of the society,"

Three Rrothers Arrested.


Charged with robberies in the vicinity
of Mount Holly, three brothers, I. V
Chamberlain, IS years old; Wallace
Chamberlain, 81 years old, both OF Jobs
town. and Tuxedo Chamberlain, of Phila
delphia, 90 years old, were taken into
custody on Sunday night in house OF
Brown street. The arrests were made DJ
Detective Williams, Of the City Hal
force; Sheriff Worrell, and County De
tective Parker, of Mount Holly. Al
the Central Station, where the three were
locked up, it was said that 1t was the first
time on local record where three brothers
faced a similar charge.
The prisoners, all of whom, according
to Sheriff Worrell, have served time In
New Jersey State Reformatory, confessed,
the detectives say, to having forced an
entrance early Sunday morning into the
store of L. D. Wetherill, at Jobstown,
where they stole quantity of goods
valued at 5000.
This is the third time within year that
the place had been robbed, and the author
tiles of Mount Holly believe, they say,
that the three brothers are responsible for
the two previous ones. They are also
charged with forcing an entrance into the
jewelry store of Hiram Stanton, at Jobs
town, stealing jewelry and money to the
value of several hundred dollars.
The men were traced to Philadelphia
through clue which was furnished by a
trolley car conductor at Mount Holly, who
saw them alight from car and walk
towards Jobstown, on which road the
Wetherill store is located. He recog-
nized one of the brothers, and when the
robbery was discovered Sheriff Worrell
was informed that he had seen one of the
Chamberlains in Mount Holly late Sat-
urday night. With that information the
Sheriff, together with the county detec-
tive, went to Philadelphia and sought the
aid of Detective Williams. A trunk,
and three suit cases of articles which
we're identified as goods stolen in Mount
Holly were found in the room of the
prisoners.
The officers went to the Brown street
house and walked into the room where
they had been told they would find their
men. One was sitting near the stove
while the other two were playing cards.
where are those things you stole at Jobs
town yesterday" were the first words
spoken, and they came from Detective
Ellis H. Parker. lover there in the
trunk" was the answer, and the officers
went to the place indicated and there
found goods of all descriptions. The men
did not offer any resistance, nor did they
attempt to deny their guilt. A patrol
wagon was summoned and the men and
the booty were taken to the city hall.
Yesterday Sheriff Worrell went to Phila-
d elphia and appeared before magistrate.
The prisoners pleaded guilty and were
sent to Moyamensing to await requisition
papers, W hich will be served in about q
week
