GEN.WOOO SOUNDS
ANOTHER WARMING
Chief of Staff of Army Tells Why
United States Is Unprepared
For War

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-|rhat the
United States is now unprepared for
real hostilities with a first-class pow.
err is the testimony OF Mai. Gen.
Leonard Wood, chief OF stan of the
army before the house committee on
military affairs. made public today.
Gen. Wood appeared during the con-
sideration OF the army appropriation
bill. He explained his plan for reor-
ganizing the state militia; made an
appeal for greater mobile army, and
declared that the ammunition at the
disposal OF the army would not last
through "A single general engagement.
There is no use talking about our
patriotism and about our fighting
qualities" he said We have got
them. but we must remember that this
capital was lost TO a force less than
one-half OF that opposing ii. 1t was
abandoned by our forces. with the
lass of 100 killed and wounded, and
that our forces were composed OF men
living and lighting within a generation
practically of the revolutionary war
and that they were brave troops, as
was shown elsewhere, but they We're
unorganized troops.
In the Spanish war we lost little
over 200 men from the volunteers
killed in battle We buried something
like 1000 who died of disease"
Regarding the artillery, he said
IF welwere called to arms tomor-
row, we are without field artillery and
without field artillery ammunition. So
far as the sea coast goes, we feel we
are we'll fortified, and We do not be
lieve fleets are going up against our
seacoast Notifications unless the OBJ
ject is one of tremendous importance
But these seacoast Notifications
unless we have reasonable mobile
force, are largely useless because yo'
can walk around end get behind them
You must have mobile force neal
them to prevent the position the!
cover from being turned"
Gen. Wood heartily endorsed th'
Hobson bill providing for militar!
council of defense. and declared ina
same such system was necessary.
"At the present time we are aDso
lutely in the air." he said. Il believe
we should strip off all the unneces
sary things and come right down u
men, guns, powder and shot

WILL FIGHT PLAN
TO TAKE BALLOTS
Colorado Suffragettes Are Preparing
TO Oppose Attempt To Dis
franchise Them.

DENVER. Colo. Dec. 27.-What is
sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander-in a suffrage state. Colorado
women are carefully laying plans 10
get back" at mere man this winter
if he dares attempt to take the ballot
from them. Today they threw down
the gauntlet.
If the men introduce a bill in the
coming legislature providing a consti-
tutlonal amendment which shall de-
prive women OF the right TO vote, as
has been threatened, the women legis-
lators will introduce a bill moment
later providing q similar amendment
to deprive man OF the right to vote.
The women are already drawing up
such n bill in full legal form to be
ready for emergency. They assert the
men who are quietly espousing the
cause of disfranchisement Of women,
will plead that women have not done
with the ballot what they set out 10
do.
The women come back" with the
assertion that man. in much longer
period and with much greater expert
ence has also been a failure.
The opposition TO woman suffrage
which has suddenly grown to tangible
proportions, has caused big stir
among the women OF the state, and is
expected either TO bring them togeth-
er in big fight to maintain the bal
lot or split them into two factions.
Prominent suffragetes here charge
the existing sentiment partly to the
recent writings of Mrs. Elizabeth God.
dard. prominent suffragette, against
equal suffrage, and partly 10 the ma
chine" in Colorado TO get rid of the
votes of women.
The suffragettes promise that they
will see To il that the legislator who
introduces bill DISTINGUISHING the
women commits political hari-kari, or
suicide

Calls on Christian Scientists To Join
Her Standard.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Declaring
herself the logical successor OF Mrs.
Mary Baker Eddy az leader Of the
Christian Scientists. Mrs. Augusta +.
Stetson. the accommodated leader,
yesterday issued a statement calling
on followers of the church founder to
join her standard
Mrs. StetsOn challenges the direc-
tors Of the mother church" in Boston
to test of power before the world, the
result to determine the true and only
successor to Mrs. Eddy. She says the
directors are not only in gross error
In their interpretations of divine
science" but are failing TO Danish any
disease, either physical or spiritual.
This is held TO be equivalent TO hurl-
Ing charges of heresy and incompe-
tency.
About a year ago, Mrs. Stetson, then
head OF the First Church of Christ.
Scientist. IN this city. was suspended
for alleged erroneous teachings and
practices, Mrs. Eddy ccnsenting to this

IT'S BACK TO THE GRIND
AFTER TWO DAYS FEASTING
Aftermath Of Christmas Holidays is
Exchange of Gifts That Don't Suit
MANY Poor Fed.

After two days OF feasting and
merry making, the same old grind
was resumed. Tuesday morning. The
lawyer and the business man return
ed 10 their respective Offices, the ar
tisan again took up his tools and the
housewife busted herself at setting
the house in order. for, in the Christ
mas rush, with all its extra demands,
even the tidiest housewife was
obliged 10 leave some things undone.
And now the presents that were
done up so neatly in tissue paper and
sealed with fancy stickers will be
tr,lndled back to the stores again to
be exchanged. Pas slippers don't fl,
and mothers silk skirt is too small
around the waist, and Willie's skates
are too big and so they must all be
taken back. The merchants however,
expect this sort of thing and are glad
10 make things right.
Between exchanges and the de-
mands for bargains that already are
being advertised. the stores were
fairly busy again Tuesday. and things
were moving along in just about the
same old way.
In spite OF its little drawbacks.
everybody agrees that IL was a great
Christmas. II was one long to be
remembered by Detroits poor. Char
ity was dispensed with lavish hand
and very few, il any went hungry
AS result OF the collections made
during the past month by the Ameri-
can Salvation Army and the Volun
reers of America, Christmas dinners
were provided for 1000 poor people
and there was food enough left to
fiji over 100 baskets. each of which
contained enough for five persons.
The former spread tables for 700 in
the headquarters at Nos. 117-119 Ora
tiot-ave., and SO great was the crush
that the police had TO be called to
maintain order After the dinner, 20
baskets were sent TO poor homes
throughout the city. The Volunteers
fed about 300 hungry poor, from ,
until 8. Monday, and sent out 80 we'll
filled baskets.
Members of the Wolverine Auto
mobile club went out in machines
and picked up about 300 children,
Monday forenoon, and took them to
the club rooms in the Griswold house,
where sumptuous, feast was spread.
Landlord Postal saw TO il that the
youngsters had as many helpings as
they could possibly take care of.
