WAsHiNgToN, Oct. 15--A startling state

prepared for war and that II is high time
that the American people are advised ~

I'm my opinion the effect of the vast
sums OF money spent by Mr.. Carnegie in
his peace propaganda has been to blind
Americans to the fact that our national

public statement.
we are the most prosperous nation on
earth and TO the south OF us lies the Won
derful South American continent which
we have closed TO European COLOMBIA
ton by the Monroe Doctrine. I simply
cannot understand how any intelligent
student OF history can fail TO sec that
we are impotent TO defend ourselves and
to enforce the Monroe Doctrine by moral
suasion and financial might alone.
The time has not yet come when the
United States can afford to allow the
martial spirit OF her sons to be destroyed.

Il second Breach.
Only once before has member OF the
House given expression to his sympa HES
since President Wilson issued his procla-
nation of neutrality. This was when
Representative Barthodt OF Missouri de-
clared that Information had come into
his possession that mupitlons Of war were
being shipped from this country 10 the
allies and that II was the duty of the
Government; to prevent such shipments.
Mr.. Bartholdt, who is native Of Ger
many, made II plain that he was praying
for the success of the Kaiser's army.
President Wilson's attention was di-
rected to-day TO the Gardner resolution.
The President made II apparent that In
his opinion the conclusions OF com
mission such as is proposed would DE
dependent almost altogether upon the
point OF view OF those composing such a
body.
Chairman Hay OF the House Committee
on Military Affairs made the statement
that no action would be taken on the
Gardner resolution
at was never contemplated that we
should have armies approximating those
OF European countries" said Chairman
Hay. 1T costs us about $3.50, 900, 900 a
year TO maintain an army OF less than
100000 men. II would cost US 5000, 000,-
600 year to maintain an army OF 5OO,-
900 men
The American people would never toll
crate the taxation that would be neces-
sary incident to the maintenance of such
large military establishment. We are
In better state OF preparedness for war
