Washington, Nov. 29.-Representative
James Hay, chairman Of the House
Military Affairs Committee, declared
to-day that he was opposed to any in
crease in The army. Mr.. Hay says that
in the first place the present time Is
not ripe for large increase in the
military arm Of the government and
that in the second place such an in
crease would be impossible unless Con-
gress provided a conscription law TO
gee the men. He also says that the
people would have to submit to enor-
mously increased taxation TO pay the
bill should this country adopt the new
military policy calling for large
standing army.
Mr.. lay declared his belief that when
the present European conflict was ended
none of the powers engaged in it would
be in a position to wage war on the
United States for many years to come.
Therefore, Mr.. Hay said, he believed
that this country should wait a while
before jumping to the conclusion as to

EVERY GERMAN A
SOLDIER 2S YEARS
Each Subject to Military
Duty from His Seven
teenth Year.

Berlin, Nov. 14.--As a result OF the
injuries which have arisen abroad as
to the manner in which Germany could
recruit the army Of 100000 men
which it is reported she can put in the
field, the following statement shows
the military service which every Ger
man subject is expected TO render:
every German from his seventeenth
YEAR until his forty-ffth year is SUB
iect to military duty. He cannot Cd
tain a substitute in his place. Those
who are disqualified through their state
of health or are of insufficient bodily
dimensions. as well as all who nave
been in prison, are excepted.
"The period of active duty is two
wears for the infantry, the field artii-
iery and the commissariat; all the
other arms, which require a longer
training, three years. Who ever can
prove higher education or has specially
excelled in any field of human activity
does active service for only one year.
after fulfilling his duty of active
service the soldier enters the reserve,
active duty and reserve together last
ing seven years. Then he enters the
Landwehr for twelve years. The hrst
lew extends from the age of twenty
seven to thirty-two, and the second levy
from thirty-three TO thirty-nlne. From
the age of thirty-nine to forty-hve the
citizen belongs to the Landsturm, who'
howeyer. are sent to the front only In
extreme emergencies.
when calling in the Landwehr and
Landsturm the unmarried men are, as
far as possible, sent to the front hrst.
Then the married men without chill
dren, and, finally, the others according
to the number of children.
"As long as the soldier belongs TO
the reserves he has to undergo military
drill for two weeks every year. The
officers do three exercises OF elght
weeks each. The first levy OF the
Landwehr are trained twice, fourteen
days each time.
6The pay for the active private
amounts TO So cents for ten days. The
food, which is very good, IS provided
IN the barracks. where the soldiers have
IN live In time Of war the pay for
officers and soldiers is doubled. In
times of peace family and business
matters, etc. are taken into consider
alton in calling out the reservists or
the men belonging to the Landwehr for
drill.
"During the drill and the grand
mannuyres the wives and children of
the older men are supported by ap-
propriate allowances. Every non-eom-
missioned officer who has served for
twelve years has the right to cash
psvment of / 500 marks when resi5ning

Canadians Looking for
Secret Store of Arms
and Ammunition.
PICTURES
USED AS A BLIND
Concrete Factory" Gave Ac-
cess to Isle of Orleans,
Opposite Quebec.

Ottawa. Nov. ga secret store OF
arms and ammunition is being
searched for on the Isle Of Orleans, in
the ST. Lawrence River, just of Que
bee. A concrete base, upon which a
siege gun could be mounted, already
has been found there.
A German two years ago bought a
tract of land on the lsle OF orleans
and established there a plant for the
manufacture of concrete blocks. IL Is
upon this property that the concrete
foundation has been found. II COM
mands the defences of Quebec and OF
the St. Lawrence channel. Last sum-
mer a motion picture company, the
leading officials Of which were German,
spent the summer on the Isle OF Or
leans, reproducing the battle OF the
plains of Abraham and making hlms
Of it. q,
They employed several hundred
young men of the vicinity, uniformed
them and provided them with arms
which they borrowed from local mill
tary authorities. They had both
cannon and rifles and fred a large
amount of blank ammunition IN tneit
operations. The firearms which they
borrowed were returned TO the au-
.horities, but it has been reported
that they took advantage Of the oppor-
tunity to land guns and secrete them
in pits, which were carefully covered.
The Canadian military authorities
have regarded information they have
received as serious enough to warrant
an investigation. The concrete founda-
tion has been destroyed and excava.,
tions have been made in search OF
buried guns. SO far none has been
found, and as the island is twenty
miles long and seven miles wide the
search is likely to prove tedious. AT
its nearest point the island is four
miles from Quebec. As far as the
Canadian military authorities have
been able to learn, the films last sum-
mer were never shown.

WAR FILMS SHOWN HERE
Battle Scenes in Belgium
Seen for First Time.

Moving pictures of the war-scenes
of the fighting taken on the battlefield
in Belgium-were shown for the hrst
time in this country at the Thirty
ninth Street Theatre last night. The
films are the first pictures of actual
warfare to reach this country.
The pictures were taken by Edward
F. Weigle, who had contract with
the military authorities of Belgium:
Half the proceeds of the exhibition OF
the films is TO be devoted to the Red
Cross.
The use Of smokeless powder by the
belligerents gave the camera a clear
feld of vision and resulted in excellent
and gripping pictures. Men are shown
fishting side by side in the trenches,
Killing and being killed. Throughout
the scenes the Red Cross ambulances
are prominent. galloping over the bat
tleHelds to do their work among the
wounded.
The dogs of the Belgians, trained TO
hhul the light artillery and to answer
bugle calls, came in for large share
of interest. There was no applause.
New-York tribune., 1914-11-30
military conditions arising out Of the

military conditions arising out OF the
present war.
Mr.. Hay's belief is that the people
ere not willing TO assume the enormous
military tax that increasing the size
Of the army would entail. II a stand
inc army OF 100000 men were to be
raised. he saws, the cost in additional
taxes would approximate $3.50, 100000
a year. which, he said, was nearly the
equivalent Of q 100 per cent increase
in taxation.
Once an army Of this size has been
recruited In peace times, Mr.. Hay says,
il can never be maintained at that
figure unless a compulsory military
service law is passed. He takes the
view that the American young man in
large numbers is net inclined toward
military life and will not serve in the
army unless compelled to do so. He
also declares il to be his belief that
Congress would never pass a compui-
sorry military act in time Of peace.
Representative Hay also says that
the hue and cry of unpreparedness are
not new. Oficers Of the War Depart
ment have for years been gong before
the Committee on Military Affairs and
making such plant, ne declares, Ihis
evidence, he adds, has been printed in
public documents for years.
The Military Affairs Committee does
not handle the coast artillery end Of
the War Department, and consequently
Mr.. Hay would not take any response
bility for any lack of proper defence
at that source. He believes, however.
that this country is not as badly off
in the matter Of field artillery equip
ment and ammunition as has been rep
resented. pointing out that during the
last four years every recommendation
made by the War Department experts
for field artillery equipment and am
munition has been approved by the
House committee and the money ap-
propriated by Congress.

Near Furnes, also in Belgium, the
French we're being forced slowly bacK
from their trenches, and in a despeT-
ate charge the Germans had surround
ed an entire company of zouaves.
Three-fourths Of the company re-
fusing TO surrender we're shot down;
About thirty survivors were grouped
around the flag. Suddenly a Tying
wedge was formed, the flag bearer In
the centre, and a rush was made for
a seemingly weak point In the enemy
lines. The attempt failed, and the Few
heroes left decided to destroy their
flag. The bearer tore tho colors into
ribbons, each man taking small piece,
and then, bayonets down, final rush
was made to try to break through the
circle Of death.
Two men alone survived and were
made prisoners, but the flag had not
fallen into the enemy's hands.
The two survivors were retaken
few hours later by British lancers.
At Sens the German trenches are but
three hundred yards from the French.
II is cold and wood is scarce for the
building of campfres. Midway be-
tween the trenches stood little palm
tree. The Germans sent man with
saw to cut the tree, and in a hail of
bullets from the French the soldier
crawled to the place. The entire
morning the man. who seemed to bear
a charmed life. crawled back and forth,
saving little each time and retreat
ing when the firing became too strong.
Finally the tree came down and the
brave German, still crawling, began his
way back to his trench, dragging the
tree after him. This time he was hit.
Two of his comrades sent TO fetch him
back were killed. Two more met the
same fate. The French in their
trenches were betting on the result
This battle for a tree lasted several
hours. Finally the tree reached the
German trench, but twenty-three men
had been killed.
The Germans had taken the village
