NAVY PRACTICE
PLANS UPSET
Continued from page 1

Military Committee to-day by Briga-
der General Crozier, chief of ordnance
of the army. He said that the United
States never would have use for guns
similar to the great howitzers with
which the Germans demolished Bel
gums forts, and asserted that the
American field guns were as good as
any in the world.
In ammunition for field guns General
Crozier said the department had 38 per
cent of the estimated needed reserve
on hand for the number of guns avail
able. This he said, he hoped to in
crease to go per cent within the year
The department contemplated a supply
of 1900 rounds for each 3-inch gun.
he said. Under the present ratio OF
appropriations, he said, the entire re-
serve would be supplied in four years.
In time of war, General Crozier estl-
mated, the government plants and pri-
vate factories in the country could
turn out 100000 rounds in six months
and 10000 rounds n month thereafter.
"If you were in war, would that be
enough" asked Representative Avis,
of West Virginia.
"Well, the ammunition plants are
being enlarged right along" said Gen
eral Crozier; they are meeting an in
creased demand"
Are they selling through Canada ?"
asked Representative Kahn.
"They are selling to somebody"
General Crozier said that automobile
manufacturers in this country were
now turning out armored automobiles
which are being sold to a European
power now at war. through Canada.
what" exclaimed Representative
Kahn; eve are asked to pray for peace
and yet we furnish armored cars to
belligerent to further war"
Plans for Aeroplanes.
Four hundred thousand dollars to
equip the newly created aviation d.
vision of the army was urged to-day
by Brigadier General George P. Scriv-
en-, chief signal officer, before the
House Military Committee.
General Scriven said that the ser
vice planned to equip four squadrons
of eight aeroplanes, each with re
serve, which would give the army about
fifty machines. Manufacturers in this
country were severely handicapped, he
said. by lack of demand for their prod
ucts, and he estimated that for the gov
eminent to get one hundred aeroplanes
in an emergency would take year or
more.
"Then we would be in serious con-
dition so far as securing aeroplanes
for use in war is concerned| asked
Representative Kahn.
II should say So" replied the gen.
eral.
General Scriven said that the Euro
pean war had shown the aeroplane to
be the most tremendous instrument for
the gathering of information that war
had ever seen, but that they had so far
shown no usefulness as an offensive
military arm.

of the United States. An adequate re-
serve is a different thing"
Senator Shively expressed the opin-
ion that the United States was deficient
in seacoast defences. The lesson of the
war, he added, was that this country
should have defences which would be
safe from the fire OF the modern long
range guns of battleships.
Senator Simmons said he did not OBJ
iect TO an investigation if it were car
ried on sanely and not made the occa-
sion for undue excitement. Material
increases should be made in the navy"
he said. az have always taken that
view, and do not sympathize with the
policy of doing nothing"
A round of applause followed the
Presidents answer to his own question
What is meant by being prepared p"
when he said that If it meant that the
country was not ready upon brief notice
"to put nation in the field, a nation
of men trained to arms, We are not
ready to do that and we shall never
be in time of peace so long as we re-
tain our present political principles and
institutions" No one joined in this ap-
plause more heartily than did Repre-
sentative Gardner, the author of the
resolution to investigate the prepared
ness of the army and the navy.
The President intimated that any ex-
tensive discussion Of an increase in the
army and navy at this time would in
terfere with his plans for bringing
about peace in Europe.
Interpolated into the message we're
words of encouragement to the bust
ness world.

Economy Imperative.

Before close may say few words
upon two topics, much discussed out OF
doors. upon which it is highly impor-
tsnt that our judgments should be
clear. definite and steadfast?
One of these is economy in govern
ment expenditures. The duty of econ
omy is not debatable. II is manifest
and imperative. In the appropriations
we pass we are spending the money Of
the great people whose servants we are
not our own. We are trustees and
responsible stewards in the spending.
The only thing debatable and upon
which we should be careful to make
our thought and purpose clear is the
kind OF economy demanded Of US.

Davy Crockett, and died with him in
the Alamo. And they were Texas
rangers who remembered the
Alamo" in the great vengeful victory
. over General Santa Annals forces at
San Jacinto. Since then the rangers
have been the terror of the border
bandits and the sole reliable keepers
of order along the 1900 miles of Mex
lean boundary.
Once there were more than thou
sand of them. Now they have dwin-
died to mere handful. When Cover
nor Colquitt threatens to send "a
force" of rangers across the border,
however, he knows whereof he
speaks.
They say along the Rio Grande-
and they MEAN it!-that lone rang
er, anywhere he is put, is equal to a
whole company of state militia" And
the whole company of rangers, as
now organized, constitute very for
midable force"
Stories of their prowess prove it.
Their captain, John R. Hughes, is
considered capable of putting down
any Mexican trouble that may arise.
He has already stified one Mexican
rebellion, single handed! 1t was in
1894. The leader Of the rebellion, Vic
tor Ochoa, bandit and all-around
bad man of the bloodiest variety, ven
tured onto American soil at Fort
Stockton. Captain Hughes of the
rangers met him on the street: Ochoa
pulled his gun. Hughes looked him
square in the eye, laid his hand on
his shoulder and arrested him, with
out a move of violence! But Hughes
knows how to use his gun when need
be, and long is the list of brigands and
smugglers who have fallen before it
in bloody battles in the mesquite, on
the canyon sides and along the dried
up banks of the Rio Grande.
