ARMY is UNPREPARED
FOR WAR STIMS0N SAYS

WASHINGTON, Jan. ia compFe-
hensive military plan for the Unfteo
States will be completed BY the war
college and general staff OF the army
at Washington before the end OF the
present session OF congress. according
to a statement made by Secretary OF
War Stimson before the house commit
teet on military affairs tonight
Secretary ,Stimson said the army to
day was unprepared for war becadss OF
it's geographical disposition. The troops
were in state of high sficieney, but
they must be distributed according TO a
tactical plan where their services
could be used to the greatest advan-
tage. he said. The war college and the
general stan have been at work on
plans which are understood to contem.
plate a reorganization OF most branches
of the army service. the abandonment
Of many military posts in the interior
of the country, and the location OF
large bodies Of troops, at strategic po-
sitions.
There has been excellent ground for
complaint" said Secretary Stimson,
that the military policy Of the. United
States has been so disconnected and
changing that 1t could never be pur-
sued to it's full development We are
at work now upon plans that will for
the first time furnish a comprehensive
military policy.

WATERWAY FROM MACON
TO SEA BEING PLANNED
Appropriation of 100000
Asked to Improve Rivers
Throughout. Georgia
by RALPH sprrrR.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. 13.-Con-
gressmen Bartlett. Brantley. Hardwick
and Hughes, of Georgia. appeared before
the rivers and harbors committee this af-
ternoon in the interest Of an appropria-
ton for the development of the Oco-
nee, Ocmulgee and Altamaha rivers.
They made strong showing and have
hopes of getting the 100000 appropria-
ton for which they ask.
The difficulty in their way is the re-
port of the army engineers which rec
ommends an expenditure of only $4O,-
900 on the projects.
The IN for the development Of these
rivers contemplated deep water to the
sea from Macon, Dublin, Milledgeville
Hawkinsviile and other points.
The Improvement Of the Oconee from
Dublin to Milledgeville and its juno
ton with the Ocmulgee will make the
stream navigable, while an expenditure
on the Ocmulgee between Macon and
Hawkinsvllle will improve its useful
ness for navigation purposes.
Both Of these rivers join the Altsma-
ha and the project Of course contem-
plates work on this stream from the
junction points to the sea.
The fact that four Georgia congress-
men appeared together before commit
tee :. nishes further evidence of the
harmony that now prevails in the Geor-
gia delegation and naturally lends
strength to their project.

The Shirt of Winter

The Spirit of Witer is with u.s. max
ing its presece known in many differ
ent ways-sometimes by CHEEKY sun
shine and glistening SHOWS, and some
times by driving winds and binding
storms. To many people it seems TO
take a delight in making bad things
worse, for rheumatism twists harder,
twings sharper, catarrh becomes more
annoying, and the many symptoms OF
scrofula are developed and aggravau-

but there is truth, and 1t is a wonder
that more people don't get rid of these

TEXTILE STRIKERS FACE
LOCKOUT OF ALL MILLS
Unless StikerS Return to Work

tiveS viii Be Barred
cRv Associated Press,

LAWRENCE. Mass, Jan. 13.-Unless
the 1900 or more textile strikers in
Lawrence arrange to return to work by
Monday there will be a complete shut
down OF the mills in this city and $4,000
operatives will be locked out This is
the drastic measure agreed upon by the
mill owners OF this and other cities as
a result of the objections OF the work
ers to the mill owners way Of constru-
ing the new 54-hour law.
The plan. so far as the Everett mill
today. When business stopped at noon
the men and women were told that they
need not return to work Monday-hve
mills would close indefinitely.
That is exactly the plan that has
been agreed upon to break this unreal
sonable strike" declared a mill owner.
Business does not justify paying any
more per hour and we do not propose
to do It. The strikers will return to
work at once or all hands win go out
until such time as they want to re-
turn to work"
The strike could not have come at a
more inOpportune time for either par
ties to 1t. The textile men say that
they have just gone through a hard
siege and were just getting on their
feet when they were hit with the new
54-hour law and the strike of the men
who wanted Sc hours pay for 54 hours
work. Should there be general lock-
out 1t would come at the worst time
in winter when food and heat are high
est and money is most needed by the
workers and their families. The mill
workers are not we'll organized and
could not look for help from the unions.
Policemen and fremen are on guard
tonight and members of the local mill
tia are in readiness for q call in the
event of another outbreak of rioting.
1t is the general opinion here that
there would have been no strike had 1t
not been precipitated by men from New
York, who are at the head of the or
ganiZation known as the Industrial
Workers of the World, an organization
to which many textile workers belong.
Leo Phillips, a member of this or
ganiZation, is under arrest on a charge
Of melting a riot.
He will be dealt with by the courts
on Wednesday.
Other textile cities have their eyes on
lawrence. The result Of the strike here
will determine action In Fall River, New
Bedford, Lowell and other places. 1t is
for that reason in part that the fight
here is hound to he bitter one.
