R. P. HOBSON
LEADING
The Jingoes in Congress
Knocking For Big Appro-
priations for War.
BY United Press Wire.

BY United Press Wire.
Washington, Dec. 17-Charging
Representative Tawney with having
violated his confidence, Representa-
tive Richmond Z. Hobson this after
noon issued a statement defending
the action of the secretary of war
and Representative McLachlan in
their efforts to cause publication of
the facts regarding the weakness of
the national defense. Hobson said in
part:
MY attention has been called to
long statement by Mr.. Tawney IN
which he blames Representative Hob
SON for the controversy over the
report of the secretary of war, in
answer to the McLaChlan resolution.
In his statement he speaks of mis-
representative about preparedness for
war; but fails utterly to point out
any inaccuracy whatever. The truth
is that the statements made in my
lectures and the statement i'm the
secretary of wars report are abso-
lutely accurate and incontrovertlble.
"Mr. Tawney has been recklessly
misleading the public on this subject
by stating that over six per cent
of the total revenues are devoted to
purposes of war; knowing that the
public would think that he meant cur
rent appropriations for the army and
navy, while he included the enormous
pension bills, one of which alone
this year amounted to $i53,0O0.000.
"Mr. Tawney refers to an alleged
conspiracy or plot during the present
sc sson to secure an increase of APP
preparations, for the purpose of ma
tional defense, whereas his whole
movement is clearly one to prevent
the American people from knowing
the facts.
He has fought every movement for
developing national defense since
have been in congress and perhaps
for a decade before that, and he Is
preparing now to fight the adminis-
| trations to fortify the Panama canal.
He fought Roosevelt's recommenda-
ton for $30,0000OO to fortify the Pa
ciic coast after the Pacific coast in
cident.
"Mr. Tawney Is the person most
| responsible for the present utter lack
of unpreparedness. 1t is natural that
| nc SlOulu BO W bltdl tNNlthtS W
prevent the facts from becoming
known to the people.
'He refers to the nations resources
and to the spontaneous outburst OF
patriotism that would prove our
! chief defense in permitting of ade-
quate expansion in time of war. We
called out a half million men in 1912,
but 5000 English regulars burned the
city of Washington. We called out a
quarter of a million of men in the
| Spanish war and most of them never
| faced the enemy but fourteen died OF
preventable diseases for everyone that
was killed in battle because of our
unpreparedness. In 1S70-n Germany
struck France. Patriotism i'm France
burned at "a white heat, but Ger
many's preparedness won the war in
q few months. In 1904 Japan struck
Russia. The Japanese never approach
ed within 5000 miles of Russia, but
japanese preparedness won in a few
months.
Modern wars are a contest of pre-
paredness and not of resources. A
man who would leave his country's
welfare thus unprotected is either
superficial in his knowledge, or his
patriotism is blighted by ms person.

OBITUARY.

Miss Emma F'ralch was born in
Big Island township Marion county,
o., January Goth 1888. Departed from
this life after a short illness of only
four days at the home of her par
ents, Dec. 18th 1910, at the age 70
q years 10 months and 90 days.
She was member of the Marion
Methodist church uniting with that
lchurch some four years ago. She was
true and faithful worker in all
church affairs.
Her greatest ambition was to help
tighten the burdens of those that
were in sorrow and need. In her
last hour of life she made inquiries
about the sick of which she knew.
She was of a pleasing and lovable
disposition and loved by all who
knew her. She was ready and pre-
pared to meet her master saying just
few minutes before death occur
red that she was going home to eter-
nal rest and happiness.
The sudden death was a great
shock to her immediate relatives and
friends.
The deceased is survived by father
mother and four sisters and three
brothers. The sisters are Mrs. Will
liam Adams of Columbus, o.; Mrs.
and Mrs. II. j. Whlteman of Toledo
o.. and Miss Bertha at home.
Three brothers are Charles, of
Springfield, o., Frank, and w. II.
Fralich who are at home.

turning from church. In addition to
the above two victims, Mrs. Charles
Webber was so badly injured that she

NO TRACE FOUND OF
TEN MEN ENTOMBED

Denver, Col Dec. 17-No trace has
yet been found of the ten men en-
tombed in the Leyden Coal COM
pany's mine at Leyden, though res
cuers equipped with oxygen helmets
have been searching the tunnels of
shaft No. l for twenty-four hours.
The men have been entombed over
sixty hours, and few believe there
is any chance of rescuing any of
them alive. The bratticinggang has
made slow progress in shaft No.
owing to the presence of deadly
gases.
Governor Shafroth announced today
that the next legislature will be ask
ed to pass new laws governing the
conditions in coal mines.
