Bailey of Texas today made his long
promised speech in the Senate on the
postal savings bank bill. He took a
position strongly antagonistic to the
bill and his opposition was based on
both popular and constitutional
grounds.
''The BILL" he declared in his very
first sentence, ''is subject to every OBJ
lection which can be urged against any
measure"
He then added:
ut is Objectionable in the first place
because Congress has no constitutional

has her full share of alarmists who are
vociferously confident that it is only a
question of time when German fleet

descend on the coast and devour the

an aggregation of airships may be called
will fly across the North sea and amidst

These walls are generally loudest around
election times. but even now Lord
Charles Beresford Is insisting that Great
Britain shall lay down u superdread-
thoughts at once SO that the integrity of
the empire may be preserved.

about these alarms, occasionally, how
ever, few figures are given out to
keep John Bull from becoming too
greatly frightened. Thus Mr. McKenna.
the first lord of the admiralty, has just
issued the following comparison of the
