NEED ,OOO,OOO
 MORE FOR EXPENSE OF MOVING TROOPS


 Washington, May 21.-A further urgent deficiency bi1l,' making pro- vision for more than $6.0OO,OOO for the present fiscal year largely on ac- count of the Mexican crisis was be- fore the House today for action. An interesting statement had been pre- pared by the war department to show exactly the approximate amount of the deficiencies in the appropriation for the army.
 The figures show that the fitting up of chartered ships for transporting men and animals cost $110,0o0 All tering the transport Mcclellan for cold storage cost $40,000. The move ment of troops to the Mexican border during April cost $155. .500.
 Among other things the bill meets a war department estimate of $43,- 390 for movement of troops on account of the Colorado strike and $14,715 for the transport of squadron of the 18th cavalry from Fort Meade to Fort Wingate.
 It was set out that the expenses of the House mines committees that in vestigated the Colorado and Mic1i- gan strikes aggregated se.o0o and .000 respectively. An appropria- tion of $5,eoo was authorized for these inquiries and the two commit tees are expected to use it before completing their work.

ADVOCATES PLAN
FOR FARM CREDIT
FORMER RAILROAD PRESIDENT,
NOW IOWA FARM Err, is SPEAK
Err At Big MEETING.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Dec. 11.-Farm
wealth of the United States estimated
at forty billion dollars should be the
basis on which the prosperity of the
country rests permanently, yet there is
no adequate law in existence under
which to finance the farm. This was
the condition discovered here today at
the interstate agricultural congress by
w. c. Brown, former president of the
New York Central railroad, and now
an Iowa farmer.
"The establishment Of farm credits
Is one of the most important questions
now before the nation" Mr. Brown
said. 1.-THE farmer Is now paying twice
the interest he should. Long time
loans at low rate Of interest would
enable the farmer to properly finance
his work. and it is this financing on
which deperis to large degree the
future prosperity Of the country.
Brown said the people should en-
dorse President Wilson's plan for a
land bank, irrespective of politics.
Il. X. Slater Of Chicago, who was des-
cribed as "the friend of the cow" also
spoke.

OPPOSES PUBLIC
MILITARY PROBE
Senator Weeks Says Foreign
Nations Know Too Much
About Army Already
WANTS CHANGES TO
BE MADE SECRETLY
Admits That There Is Need
for Reorganization Of
National Defenses

Washington, D. c., Dec. I1.-Declar-
ing that there has been too much pub
licity of military affairs of the nation,
Senator Weeks of Massachusetts,, in a
speech in the senate today, opposed
agitation for special investigation OF
military preparedness, praised the
strength and personnel of the navy
and urged the organization of an army
reserve.
I'm the European war we have seen,"
said Senator Weeks, the value OF
secrecy in conducting military opera
tions, and there is no reason why We
should spread broadcast what we are
doing or what preparations we have
made. have no doubt every European
country is informed in the most min
ute detail Of our condition both on land
and sea, and if any change in our
methods Is to be made 1t should not
be in the direction of greater publicity
but should be to protect our operations,
even in time of peace from scrutiny
both at home and abroad.
'At this time 1t does not seem to me
that 1t Is wise or prudent to take any
action which will change our policy or
add to our naval equipment except by
an omnibus appropriation which can be
expended under the direction of the
general board of the navy, with the
approval Of the secretary of the navy
and the president. Based on the expert
ence of the past, our naval establish
ment is in class with that of Germany
and France and probably second only
to that Of Great Britain
Senator Weeks maintained that the
army was insufficient and proposed its
reorganization, not for the purpose Of
increasing the permanent active army,
but for the organization of reserve
corps which would make available
large forces of trained soldiers at all
times. "If the military experts are
right" he said, "that the country needs
a force Of 100000 trained men supple
mented by from one hundred thousand
to two hundred thousand volunteers to
give it reasonable chance of protec-
ton against a probable foe, and that
the 100000 men will be needed at once
on the outbreak of war-organized as
fighting machines-it would appear
that the defense provided at present
by congress Is inadequate and practic-
ally worthless, and that them oney
spent on this defense is largely vast.
ed"
In addition to national reserve
force, Senator Weeks would have
similar reserve organized under the
state militias and urged laws to pro-
vide military trainers for volunteers.

GERMAN ATTACKS
LOSING IMPETUS
DEFEATED RUSSIANS GET A
CHANCE TO REST WHILE
THEIR PURSUERS HALT.

Petrograd, Dec. 1.-THE attack of
the Austro-Germa army in Poland
appears to have lost It's impetus with
the exception of General Mackenzen' S
army, which is unoficially reported
between Lowicz and Warsaw and only
about fifteen miles from the Polish
capital.
The other armies are advancing but
little if any and the attempts from
the south of Cracow seem entirely
repulsed, according to reports. Meth.
er the 81. &c of Cracow nof or Prem
ysl has been relieved, it is stated,
which was the main aim of the Aus.
tro-German offensive.
The situation now appears to hinge
on the Russian or German ability to
rush in reinforcements first, since four
weeks of incessant and hard fighting
has told severely on both sides.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 1.-THE
dominating necessity of dreadnaughts
to maintain the strength Of great pow
ers at sea, with submarine boats and
submarine mines as minor essentials,
was emphasized today by Secretary
Daniels before the house naval COM
mittee. He declared that if a foreign
foe came to attack the United States
the battleships would first be relied
on and then would come the submar-
ines and mines.
Mr.. Daniels contended all navy
yards should be equipped to build war
ships. New York and Philadelphia
yards, he said, should be able to build
battleships; Norfolk and Portsmouth
ought to be able to build certain
character of ships at the lowest price.
"We ought to have a place to build
battleships out on the Pacific coast,
he said.

Secretary Daniels Tells of
Needs in United States NdDp

Secretary Daniels said too many
ships were being built by contract and
too few by the navy yards.
What country have you in mind
that we would likely have war WITH"
asked Representative Hensley of Mis-
souri,.
"Dahomey," replied Mr.. Dariels
amid laughter.
1--WE should not consider war with
any country or build against any coun-
try" continued the secretary. 1--WE
should prepare for our defense from
whatever quarter an attack may come;
a defense against any enemy. We
must prepare to defend ourselves in
the very best way we can. Many peo-
pie believe that our navy ought to be
greater than any or all of the other
nations. If any country comes and at
tacks, we must make the greatest de-
Tense we can. If you go into war you
go in to win"
