don Military Ideas

NORFOLK, Va. Dec. s.-Brigadier
General Tasker H. Bliss, Of the U. S.
A, addressing the National Guard assoc
citation OF the United States here today.
declared that certain college presidents,
professors and others. moulding the
manhood of the rising generation. had
taken a stand against the incubation of
the military spirit in the youth of the
nation that had tendency to rob the
country of the power and force IT would
some time in the future need for self
preservation. The general stand taken
to remove the military spirit looking to
universal peace was wrong. He urged
with great force "the keeping alive Of
the military spirit upon which the honor
and existence OF our country must sure
ly depend"
General Bliss declared that while
western nations were looking to univer-
sal peace, millions In the eastern ma
lions were keeping alive the spirit Of
war, and that sooner or later there was
bound to come a conflict between the
peoples Of the two hemispheres. He
said trained armies would be required
so that the United States might main
tain national honor and preserve its
dominions.
General J. c. Foster, of Florida, was
named as one of the vice presidents

TO CHECK
0USTING OF THE MOOSE
Presidents Removing of Dis
loyal 0fficehoIderS Criticised,
Mrs. LOngStreet'S Case

WASHINGTON. Dec. s.-There are
indications that the Democrats in con-
gress-particularly I'm the senate-will
eagerly seize upon the war President
Taft has declared against Roosevelt
supporters in office as a pretext for
holding up nominations and saving
vacant federal offices for Democratic
appointments after Governor wilson's
inauguration. says special to the
New York Times. Hard upon the an
nouncement that three Bull Moosers in
Texas have been dismissed for the
good Of the service comes report that
thirty-eight other Progressives, hold
ing various postofhces in that state
win be shortly replaced, on the ex-
piration OF their terms. by loyal sup
porters Of Mr.. Taft.
Democrats have bitterly resented the
presidents action in putting all fourth
class postOffces under the civil setv-
Ice rules. and several Democrats have
denounced the president for attempting
thus TO secure the tenure Of his friends
after HIS own administration ends.
SUPPORT MRS. LONGSTREET.
This resentment has received keener
edge from the report that Mrs. James
Longstreet. widow OF the famous Con-
federate general. is to lose the postmis-
tressship OF Gainesville, Ga, as a re-
suit Of her "pernieious" support OF
Colonel Roosevelt. An active move is
already afoot among Democrats in con-
grsss TO save her from being busted.
The move against the widow Of Con-
federate general seems to have called
the attention Of the Democrats to their
opportunity in regard to other vacan-
cfes which Mr.. Taft is said to plan TO
al with his own supporters. They have
charged all along that the president s
civil service order was a political move.
and they now say that his punishment
Of Bull Moose 'ofilceholders smacks OF
the same motive. They argue. therefore,
that they will be justified IN lighting
President Taft's nominations and block
ing combinations until March (.
CAN HOLD UP, ALL NOMINATIONS.
How far the Democratic senator's will
go in a movement of this sort is uncer-
tain. Most Of the talking so far has
come from Democratic representatives,
but IL is known that enough senator's
sympathize with them TO hold up all
nominations through the short session.
Many Of the older Democratic senators.
IL is said, would be reluctant to use
their. rlght TO ADVISE ana consent 70
nominations in any obviously political
way. But among the younger senators
these scruples sit more lightly, apd
only a few voices are needed to make
good a filibuster in the short session.
With congress in session tomorrow,
President Taft will have no opportunity
TO make recess appointments. Every va
cancy he allows or creates. therefore,
can be kept as a vacancy for Democratic
appointment If the disgruntled Demo-
Gratis adhere to the plan they are dis
GUESSING tonight. Yesterday they were
merely amused at the dismissal of the
three Progressives in Texas, but tonight
they view the situation seriously, and
some Of them, like Senator Mark Smith,
OF Arizona, are saying openly that the
Democrats viii not vote salaries for
further Republican appointments.
