Interior Department Head Says Laws
Will Aid Development.

WASHINGTON. Dec 10. Secretary
Franklin X. Lane. Of the Interior De-
partment, in his annual report 10 Presl-
dent Wilson lauds the new conservation
laws and advocates a definite con-
struGtiye policy for the Indian, by which
he may be transformed from q ward OF
the Government to a successful and
integral part Of American citizenship
Secretary Lane asks whether 1T Is for
the benefit Of the Indian himself that
the present almshouse policy should
be continued.
In my report Of last year" says Mr,
Lane, II suggested series of measures
for the development Of Western resources
which i thought consOnant with the ad-
vancing spirit OF our time and would
meet the demand OF the West. There
were five OF these measures; one provid-
ing for a government railroad system in
Alaska, an Alasksn eeal-leasing bill, a
new reclamation act; a bill providing for
a new method Of opening and developing
coal phosphate. oil and potash fields and
a water-power bill.
"Ail these measures have passed the
House OF Representatives ana the first
three also passed the Senate, and by
your approval have become law. / feel
that It Is conservative to say that By the
passage OF these bills the Federal Gov
ernment has given 10 the more remote
States greater assurances OF its interest
Ia their welfare than has been given for
many years.

DANBURY HATTERS' CASE
BEFORE SUPREME COURT
Unions Carry Appeal Against Dam

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O-Final argu-
ments in the famous Danbury hat case,
in which ID. Il. Loewe & Co.. of Dan
bury Conn, won a suit under the Sher-
man law for s252,iS damages against
the Hattcrs' Unions of Danbury, Nor

day in the Supreme Court.
The Circuit Court of Appeals upheld
the verdict Of the United States Dis

pealed.
Judge Alton B. Parker, who won the
Gompers contempt case. argued for the
Hatters' Union, while Daniel Davenport
argued for Loewe & Co. The proceed
ings against the unions were encour-
aged by the American Anti-Boycott As
sociation.
The big judgment obtained by Loewe
& Co. is against 1856 Individual defend
ants, members of the unions alleged to
have been responsible for the boycott.
The legal question In the case that was
before the high court for adjudication
was the extent of the liability OF these
individual hatters.
Judge Parker argued that If the indi-
vidual hatters were to be held liable their
connection with the boycott must be
clearly shown In each individual case
and this could not he proved by mere
hearsay evidence or newspaper publica-
tions. Davenport asserted that the
agents OF the unions were acting within

GARRISON ADVISES
ARMED FORCE NOT
IN WILSON'S PLAN
Militant Note of War Secre-
tary's Report Suggests Dis
agreement With Presi-
dents Ideas of Prepared
ness.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-The report OK
Secretary Garrison to the President, maoe
public today. shows that the head Of the
War Department is not altogether IN
agreement with his chief upon the sub
ject OF military unprepdredness. .,
In the executive message president VIZ
son said 1--WE must depend in every tlme
OF national peril in the future as IN the
past not upon a standing army, nor YET
upon a reserve army, but upon citzenry
trained and accustomed to arms.
Secretary Garrison recommends that the
army be increased Immediately by the
enlistment of % 900 additional men ana oy
the appointment of 1000 officers, saying,
I'VE would then be able % undertake. the
next necessity, which is absolutely I'M
peratlve, the preparation OF n reserve
Indeed the strengthening of the stand-
ing army by virtually doubling its avail'
able force for service In continental
United States, and the creation OF re.
serve army which would insure 5W,0OO
trained and capable men for duty in the
f1rst line should military operations be.
como necessary is the dominant note or
the report. The document, without being
in any sense jing2lstic is militant
throughout.
The addition of 25,OOO men would bring
the army UP to its full war strength OF
i20, 900 men, So 1000 of whom would be avail
able at home. At present the mobile
strength is Sl.000. which Is soon to be cut
In two by detachments to service In the
Canal Zone, Hawaii and the Philippine
Islands
The report mentions the European war
once. the Secretary saying that 1t would
be premature to attempt to draw any les-
sons from the operations at this time
with something like sarcasm Mr. Gar
iison refers to disarmament talk" in his
discussion of the necessity of an adequate
reserve. eternal vigilance he declares
lis the price which must be paid in order
to obtain the desirable things of life and
to defend them"
At this time the full war strength of the
United States including National Guards
men, Is 9S1S officers and 1884 men This
does not take into account men now in
the country's oversea possessions,
This is absolutely ALL" announces the
Secretary. "The only other recourse
would be volunteers and to equip
organize and make them ready would
take at least six months. A pre-
pared enemy would progress so far on
his way to success in six months, IL his
antagonist had to wait six months TO
meet him that such unprepared antag-
onist might as well concede defeat with
out contest"
OF the existing organization Secretary
Garrison speaks in the highest terms.
"ft is unquestionably in as excellent CON
dition as any SIMILAR number OF men in
the world"
The report lays especial stress upon the
Importance of aviation in modern war
fare calling the scouts of the sky the
"eyes of the army" He says aviation
