was still an absolute necessity for its
use, if we could find nothing to re-
place it, it would then be we'll to at
tempt to conceive of something bet
ter. l am opposed to the use of wood
in any form in freproof' buildings and
the law ought not to permit its use.
Wooden floors, wooden window
frames, doors and castings burn and
help other things to burn; wooden
trim and bases burn-everything that
is made of wood burns and helps the
fire to spread.
Eliminate Wood.
Eliminate wood-remove the cause
and you have precluded the posi-
bility of fires.
I'VE have no department of our gov
eminent devoted to the matter of fire
protection. Our laws on the subject
are not specialized to completely cover
any particular building or business al
though they could be made broad
enough in their general application to
go a great way toward partly solving
the problem.
1T is my firm conviction that the
United States government should es-
tablish a department, founded some
what on the lines of the pure food law,
for the purpose Of establishing labora-
tories whose business it should be to
test and classify various materials
used throughout the construction of
freproof buildings in order that the
public may be provided with a sched-
ule of standards of known safety"

+ARMY MANEUVER CAMPS
USELESS WASTE OF MONEY
Such Is Verdict of General
Bliss Who Says Present
System Is Wrong

WASHINGTON. Sept. 22.-The man-
euvers camps OF the army under present
plans are sharply criticised by Brig.
Gen. Taslxer II. Bliss, commanding the
Department of California, IS falling to
accomplish their primary purpose. Of
training the soldiers under, simulated
war conditions.
In a report to the war department
General Bliss also points out tfat there
is a ''wastefuI and indefensible use or
the nations money" in the trs.nsporta-
ton to these encampments OF military
organizations which have not received
the preliminary training ESSENTIAL TO
participation in the broader nlaneuver
instructions.
Orders published weeks or months in
advance. General Bliss says, announce
the general details for the movement
of troops AMI scope instructions. Quar-
termasters, commissaries and other
staff officers of the regular army are
thus enabled lelsureIy TO establish what
in time OF war would be considered :
temperament camp.
General Bliss urges that the man
euver camps be developed TO AFFORD more
practical training under campaign con-
ditions for the regular army and real
test of the efficiency Of the organized
militia.

ment in both the north and the south
was that of creating an adequate navy
with which TO prosecute the war along
the coast and at sea.
The necessity on both sides was urg-
ent. The north had the task of block
aiding 1900 miles of southern coast
line. The south hoped to cripple it's OPP
ponent by destroying its merchant ships
and their cargoes.
The south's program imposed on the
north the necessity of sending out fast
cruisers to chase its commerce destroy
lers, thus depriving it of the services OF
much-needed vessels with which to
maintain the blockade.
Furthermore. the north had need of
Ia great number OF river craft 1t must
create .fiotillas for the Mississippi, the
Ohio and their larger tributaries. 1t
must have numerous vessels of light
draft and peculiar build TO navigate the
rivers or Virginia and he shallow sounds
and bays of the southern coast
Its task. therefore. was great. for when
the war began the u. S. navy so far
as its immediate effectiveness was con-
cerned was scarcely more than a name.
There was this. howver. IN favor OF the
Federal government: IT had unlimited
means with which TO create the naval
force IL needed. in money. in shipbuld-
ing plants, In material, in men and m
an extensive merchant marine from
which to acquire ships by purchase.
The situation OF the south was far
different When the war began it did not
possess single war vessel Less than
half a dozen revenue cutters in southern
ports had been seized. but these were
small craft.
With no merchant marine from which
to draw vessels by purchase. the south
had no shipyards in which TO build them,
no large force of mechanics. such as
could be gathered at any point in the
north. and practically no shipbuiiding
material, except standing timber.
The age of iron and steel in warships
was just coming in. but there were oniy
three rolling mills in the Confederacy
fitted for heavy work. Two of these
were in Tennessee and one in Atlanta.
There was a foundry at New Orleans.
but the Tredegar iron works at Rich
mond was the only plant capable OF
casting heavy guns. Iron was extreme
~ scarce and very high, and. owing to
the blockade, was destined to become
much scarcer and higher.

Champ Clark Predicts Victory
of His Party at Next Gen.
eraI Election
CIV Associated Press. J

KNOXVILLE, enn., Sept. 22.-Speaker
Champ Clark was the honor guest of the
Appalachian exposition Thursday ind
the welcome he was given by the ASSEM-
bled thousands there showed that he is
held in high esteem by the people of the
Appalachian region. e
Introduced by United States Senator
Robert L. Taylor, as 'sthe next nominee
of the Democratic party for the presi-
dency and the next president" Speaker
Clark spoke for more than one hour, his
remarks being general in nature. He re-
ferred to the early history of this section
saying that he had always had a warm
place in his heart for Tennessee for it
was from this state that the largest
number of early pioneers of Missouri
came. He discussed the richness of the
Appalachians and then spoke of the gem
eral pT lgress of the nation. At the same
rate of increase as at present he pre-
dicted that this nation in the year 1000
would number 2,0O0,OOO.OOo of people and
its total wealth would be 5000, 900. 000, 000
FAVORS UNIVERSAL PEACE!
He spoke in favor of universal peace
doctrine but denounced the imperialistic
policy of holding the Philippines say ing
that he hoped the FIIipinos would never
re considered American citizens
He believed, he said, in maintaining
the Monroe doctrine at all times. Dis
cussing present day corruption in poll
tics, he expressed the hope that 1t would
soon disappear forever. for it was his
belief that every tendency now was to-
ward publication.
During a reception rendered the speak
er last night in exposition pavilion by
organized Democracy, Speaker Clark
made a brief address outlining the work
Of the past congress and predicting as to
the future. He stated his belief that the
democrats were never closer to one
another, while the Republican house ia
divided unto itself and shows signs of
disintegration.
Though declining to refer in auv way TO
his own chances of nomination as his
partys standard bearer he freely pre-
dlcted that T>rI ocratic success in .s.2
was eiready assured.
