BURNETT RENEWS
/. FIGHT IN HOUSE
/. ON BATTLESA|PS
Lining Up Little Navy
Men to Oppose Fund
For War Craft.

The antI-battieship fight Is again or
I'm the House. Congressman Burnett oi
Alabama is moving systematically
among his colleagues In tho endeavor
10 prevent any appropriation for bat
tleships at this session. and Is "circu.
iarizing'' the members,
Mr., Burnett's antipathy TO rppropria-
tions for battIeships Is an echo OF the
fight OF last session. when the Public
Buildings Committee, of which Mr.. Bur-
nett was acting chairman. and the Ma
val Affairs Committee engaged In leg
islative duel for three months. The eau
Gus declined to permit the bringing in of
a public buildings bill. commonly known
as the pork barrel and the Bur-
nettites adopted the slogan:
Have Not Forgiven House.
You can't have battleships IL we
can't have public buildings"
The Democrats of the House held four
caucuses and finally compromised, upon
the insistence of the Senate, on an ap-
preparation for one new ship.
The Public Building Committee Is now
drafting a $SO,0oO.0OO pork barrel bill. but
Mr.. Burnett and number of his col
leagues have not forgiven the House
leaders for the partial defeat Of last
year. Partly In consequence OF the
former struggle and also because Mr..
Burnett is opposed to the customary
authorization for two battleships each
year. the Alabama member has inau-
gurated a campaign to prevent a bat
tleship appropriation during the pres
ent session.
No Caucus Probable.
1t is not believed that the Democrats
will again make Dartv matter of the
increase Of the navy, and no caucus on
battleships is probable. This; however,
does not interfere with the plans of Mr..
Burnett, who hopes to sign up a suf-
ficient number of little navy" men
to put up a stiff fight against the naval
appropriation bill, in the event the
committee recommends two new ships.
The suggestion by navy officials of
the need Of three new ships sends shiv-
ers down the back of Mr.. Burnett, who
redoubles his effort at the very thought
of such an appropriation.

The Military Scandal in Germany.

Germany's military scandal grows with
fresh developments. When the other day

German hostility for the purpose of in
creasing the sales of arms to the govern

lions were grossly exaggerated. 1t now
appears that they We're on the contrary
mildly stated. and later disclosures in
dicate that there has been an amazing
propaganda in behalf of the arm manu-
featuring interests. 1t is alleged that
these concerns have supplied funds for
the organization of military associations,
have engaged retired military officers to
deliver lectures and to write articles
showing the need of increased armament
for Germany, have maintained agents in
France to secure the publication there of
articles indicative OF increases in the
French armament and have even assisted
in the fermentation of the anti-German
spirit ON the French side in order to lead

No Muzzle for Marshall.

Notwithstanding renewal of the New
York demand, Vice President Marshall
Will not go into what may be called a
linguistic retreat On the contrary, the
probability is that during the coming four
years he will deliver more public speeches
than ever before in the same period of
time. As The Star suggested the other
day. the very protests against his appear
ances will multiply the number of his in
citations People will be the more eager
to hear him. The lovers favor with the

thority. Lucky Mr. Marshall
Until now. no popular orator has occU-
pied the vice presidency since John C.

orator from a state of orators. But in his
day political speaking was not the indus
try il now is. and Mr.. Breckenridge held
forth but seldom.
Today there is little rest for the orator.
lie is in the greatest request No occa-
sion is complete without a good speech.
and the mail of an orator who has
proved his quality is heavy with cards.
Mr.. Marshall has humor. and INDUCES
in epigram. Dangerous things. both. in
thought and obscurity of expression go
with important station. Still there are
bright and able men who offend. And
some have been punished.
Mr.. Marshalfs critics are misleading
him He is not urging organization
against thrift. but reciting for the atten-
ton of the thrifty some of the notions
now abroad among the uniformed and
unrefiecting about wealth and it's respon-
sibilities to the state And he seems to
want 10 hear from the men under fire.
In a way. this is playing the part of
the Devils Advocate. which is not of
course. playing the part of devil of an
advocate. Mr. Marshall is not a member
of the subterranean bar.
Maybe TIE Vice President is indulging
himself with the greater pleasure for the
information-which comes straight from
Indianapolis-that Thomas Taggart has
no present aims on the senate. A report
had circulated that Mr.. Taggart would
offer for the seat now occupied by Mr..
Shively. and Sc challenge the Marshall
Shively organization. This is denied. Mr..
Taggart has other plans. and Mr.. Shively,
in the event of another democratic legis-
lature. will probably succeed himself.
Relieved. thus from anxiety about home,
Mr.. Marshall turns his attention to the
state of the Onion. and talks about re-
forms. 1t is the day of such talk

theater being paid employees of one OF
the gunmaking firms of Germany. On
the other hand, it is stated that the mil
itary party III Germany has profited

others. and the charge is made with per
suasive definteness that the government
Of new journal devoted to the propaga-
ton of the military spirit and prac-
tically compelled the large arms corpora
tons to advertise in it at high rates.
The first result of all these assertions
and disclosures is that in the budget COM
mittee of the reichstag yesterday large
majority voted to cut down some of the
military appropriations and to drop the
posts of commandments at four of the large
cities. At the same time resolution has
been presented to accompany the mil
itary budget asking the chancellor to APP
point a committee to investigate all
armament contracts. 1t is possible that
this reaction against the military pro-
gram Of the government may result in
ministerial crisis In any case. the
prospect of the governments armament
program is decidedly dimmed. and it Will
not be surprising to find the reichstag
rejecting both the army enlargement
and the increased taxation proposals.
Throughout the empire newspaper eX-
pressions of amazing frankness are APP
pearing in denunciatiOn of tie actions OF
the armament concerns and the failure OF
the government to discover or to check
their war-provoking enterprises. A note
of Indignation against the government
as possibly itself guilty of these fomen-
tations is sounded.

The President in Local Politics.

Mr. Wilson does business in his own
way. His attitude toward precedent does
not exactly square with that of the late
| William Fl. Vanderbilt toward the public,
| but it shows good deal of the same in
dependence. The President is q church
man, and does not dash anything or
anybody.
| The third departure from custom is just
scheduled. First came the address to
Congress in person. Then came the visit
to the Capitol to confer with senators
about legislation. Now the days are
fixed for two stump speeches the Presi-
dent will make in New Jersey in support
of measures he advocated when governor.
but which failed after he left that office
and took up his duties here.
Strictly speaking, Mr. Wilson is within
his rights in the matter. He is citizen
of New Jersey. The measures he is So
licitous about were on his card when he
ran for governor. and might have been
enacted into law if he had not been
transferred to Washington. When he re-
Taxed his hold at Trenton his opponents
bristled up. and in his absence had their
way. He is returning now. with the
added prestige of the presidency, in an
effort to recover the lost ground.
Mr.. Wilson takes some risk. The leg
islature which refused his wishes at the
session just closed is the one he is APP
peaiing to for compliance at the special
session called for May. The questions
proper remain unchanged. If the legis-
lature shows change; if it does next
month what it declined 70 do last month.
the new position taken will be attributed
to the throwing into the scale of the
great power of the presidency.
But if the legislature at the special ses
sion withstands the Presidents influence
and again rejects his program, there may
be more in 1t for him than personal dis
comfture. He may suffer little here In
his national leadership and purposes.
The Smith machine has not gone to
the scrap heap yet. Its owner and oper-
ator still has hopes. He is a seasoned
politician not easily discouraged. Mr..
Wilson defeated him for the Senate: then
for control of the New Jersey delegation
to Baltimore; then achieved the presi-
Dental nomination over the opposition OF
those with whom Mr.. Smith was acting.
But Mr.. Smith survives, and is under
stood to be the leading spirit behind the
movement in New Jersey which Mr.. Will
son is now comba ting.
Mr.. Wilson is assured of crowded meet
ings. OF the thousands that will gather,
many will be unable to get in sight of
him. But will all who are fortunate
enough to see and hear be convinced by
him. and use their influence on the legis-
lature when it assemblies? The important
element of curiosity is to be reckoned
with Mr. Bryan knows all about that.

entertainment The sport is now free
from the faint of dishonesty or gambling.
But with g great increase Of expenses in
cident to the opening of all the ranks to
competition it is to be feared that un-
desirable means would have to be resort
ed to by club owners in some cases to
make good the cost of maintenance The
players would not benefit by such a sys-
tenn, outside of a few OF the stars, and
those only for while. The majority of
the players are today much better off
under the present contract system than
they would be with no options or reserves.
and probably Ty Cobb himself could tell
those members of Congress who are now
talking of championing him many things
convincing them, if he were SO minded, that
the worst thing they could do for the sake
of the base ball players of this country
would be to destroy the present organiza-
ton of the game and substitute a go-as-

services and unrestrained bidding for SAL

present state of prosperity. cleanliness
and value as a means of public entertain
ment through the adoption of rigid prin-
ciples and the regulation of the competi-
five spirit 1t is true that base ball
players are bought and sold in the
sense that their playing services are pro-
cured by system of exchanges and
trades in which they have comparatively
little to say But there is real and active
competition for the services of the young
er players whose development promises
to be satisfactory Some years ago the
courts were appealed to by dissatisfied
players and the old reserve clause"
whereby players were bound from season
10 season without signing new contracts,
was declared illegal. Then tn, new con-
tract was devised. the players signing
an agreement to give their services for
a single year with the option of another
wear of service. This contract has never
been formally and finally tested, but it
is believed il would hold in court test.
II serves the purpose of preventing dis
ruptions of the ranks OF clubs, which
under a free system of competition would
be broken from year TO year. with a con-
sequence of complete failure OF all team
system, and temporary soaring Of sal
aries leading to- the almost inevitable COL
lapse of the game as a means of public
