ultimatum to the steamship companies

In the meantime the companies have

Although representatives or the
steamship companies declare they viii

mistic and confident that there win be
an eleventh hour settlement. The
steamship companies understood that
the first attempt Of the strikers Will be
to tie up the big transatlantic lines

no threats to make the strike national.

said Mr. TaWney- The United States

OF i-lulJ men, IS exDending only a little
less than England with an army Of
214,30O men and navy of $4,000 men
The United States is exPending for this
purpose only q few millions less than
Germany with her army Of 100000 and
Ter navy OF 62,000. The United States
IS expanding for this purpose in excess
o. me amount expended by France
with her army of $4,000 men and her
1aTr OF $500 men.
Expenditures Exceed All Others
A further comparison Of the sums
expended by these countries on account
OF preparation for war and on account
Of past wars, shows the startling fact
that We are expanding more than any
other nation in the world for both OBJ
