BELIEVE GARRISON
ANTICIPATES WAR
Secretary's Report Shows Wide
Differences in Cabinet on
Peace Question.

The belief that the United states may
vet he forced to send armed forces into
Mexico, is believed to have inspired
Secretary Of War Garrison's earnest
plea in his annual report against the
adoption, at this time, OF any policy of
disarmament.
Secretary Gar-ison's emphatic argu-
ments along this line indicate wide diff
ferences of opinion in President Will
sons Cabinet. With Secretary Garrison
protesting against any thought of de-
crease in the army, and with Secretary
of the Navy Daniels urging Congress
10 authorize two of the largest and
most powerful dreadnoughts ever de-
signed, Secretary OF State Bryan Is I'M
reserved and unqualifying in his in
dorsement OF naval holidays" and
other voluntary moves toward interna-
t,onal peace. '.--.
"As a peaceful and unfHiBtary- people
cngrossed in the settlement and up
building of our vast territory and in
the DEVELOPMENT OF the wonderful re-
Secretary Garrison. I'VE are but dimly
I'VE are but dimly impressed with the
impressed with the fact that just as
agriculture and commerce are the foun
cations OF our great national prosperity
so with equal truth our military and
naval forces are its bulwark and de-
tense.
while I believe that there is a world
wide and growing sentiment for the
settlement without bloodshed or all dis
putes between nations, just as even
now there is a provision Of law for such
settlement Of difficulties between indi-
viduals, / recognize the fact that the
time has not yet come when a nation
can wisely disarm or siacken its efforts
for preparedness in case OF war.
THE army Is not a luxury; it Is a
public necessity. A nation that Is opu-
leiS. enterprising, and unarmed, as Of
old. still invites aggression-if not dis
aster. I hope to see in the time of
peace a growing sentiment Of increased
pride in our army that will make the
uniform respected always and every
where"
Contrary to what was expected, the
Secretary makes no reference in his
report to the proposed plan of elini-
mating the posts now maintained by the
Government in remote and almost in
accessible territories. He does, how.
ever. follow UP his suggestion, made
several months ago, Of revising the en-
listment contract. in order that the
army may be made more attractive to
recruits. In this connection he suggests
that the department be given authority
to honorably discharge an enlisted man
whenever his superiors are convinced Of
his proficiency In military tactics. In
this way, too, the Secretary believes
that the trained reserve may be built
Up more rapidly.

ROADS SAY WAGES
JUSTIFY HIGH RATES
Hearings on Proposed Freight
Increases Are Continued Un-
til After the Holidays.

Hearings of the testimony supporting
the contention of the Eastern railroads
that they should be granted permission
to advance freight rates per cent. have
been continued until after the holidays
when executive officers OF the roads
will present their claims. The real
fight will come later, when Louis Bran
deis. counsel for the Interstate Com
merce Commission, and representatives
Of various state railroad commissions
and shippers organizations will cross
examine the railroad witnesses in op-
position to the rate advance.
The wage question was brought into
the case in support of the railroads,
contention that increased operating ex-
penses make a rate increase necessary.
John G. waIbor, of the executive staff
of the Baltimore and Ohio. declared
wage advances to be one Of the largest
items in increasing rail expenses.
Mr.. Walbor declared that as a result
of the wage increases, twenty-nine of
the thirty -eight companies now asking
an increase In rates are paying Sis.
S1Ssz2 more for doing business In 1918
than they were in 1910. The witness
declared that the cycle of wage in
crease demands had not been completed.
citing continued demands by different
organizations at intervals during the
last few years.
An evidence that the contentious OF
the roads will be strenuously contested
by shippers was given when protests
against the proposed advances were
presented by scores Of manufacturers,
miliers. and wholesalers. In addition,
State railroad commissions are repre-
sented at the hearing to participate in
the proceedings and fight the rate ad-
vances when they are given their in
ming IL they then conclude that the
proposed advances would be prejudicial
10 the interests OF their States.

WANTS APPEAL FROM

Sarah Bertch has fled a petition in
the superior court for permission to
appeal from a judgment for 500 in
favor Of Theodore Mund. real estate
dealer. which was rendered by Jus
tice John W. Mitchell Of Washington
township on Sept. IA 1912. The
judgment was for a commission
claimed by Mund for the sale of one
and one-half acres of land near Bris-
tol for S1.400.
In the petition it is alleged her
husband secured the judgment. for
the alleged reason that Mrs. Bertch
was never served with a summons TO
appear and defend the suit. The
claim is made that the property sold
was owned Jointly by herself and
husband and that she never author
lied her husband TO enter into an
agreement with Mund for its sale. as
1t IS shown he did in an attached
col of the agreement
That notice of appeal was not
given within the 30 days prescribed
by statute was due to the fact that
she did not know that a Judgment

NEW YORK. Sept. IA peculiar
problem in ethics was presented in
w. seth St a few mornings ago.
1t was $3.50 by Daniel Monahan's
watch, when he passed the door of
No. 2O4. Mr.. Monahan was on his
way home. Where he had been is Mr..
Monahan's own business and is not
germane to this narrative
A fresh breeze was blowing up from
the North river and it whisked Mr..
Monahan's hat off his head and car
ried it into an open window on the
ground floor of No. 204, which is a
theatrical boarding house.
Mr. Monahan pondered. He dis
liked extremely TO abandon his per
fectly good hat. A policeman stood
at the corner Mr.. Monahan went to
him and stated his case. The police
man suggested that he wait till morn
ing and then call upon the inhabitants
of the house and ask for his hat.
