Washington. Oct. 15.-Inquiry
TITO, the .prenArc1nesS of the limited
States for war Offensive or defen-
sfve" by national security commits
sion was proposed in n joint resolu-
tion introduced in the house today
by Representative Gardner of Mas
sachusetts, who recently returned
from the war zone in Europe.
II have introduced this resolution
to investigate the military status of
the United States" said Mr.. Gardner
in n statement ACCOMPANYING the
resolution, because I know n pub
lie search will open the eyes of
Americans to a situation which is
being concealed from them. The
United States is totally unprepared
for war, defensive or offensive
against a real power. In my opin-
ion, the effect of the vast sums of
money spent by Carnegie in his peace
propaganda was to blind Americans
to the fact that our national secur-
ity from military point of view is
undermined.
Nearly every army and navy Of
ficer to whom | have spoken tells me
the same story of inadequate secur-
ity. | have yet to speak of single
member of either the commission on
naval affairs or the commission on
military affairs of the house Of rep
resentatives in whose judgments I
have confidence who does not in pri-
vate make the same statement. Yet
all the gentlemen seem to consider
it their duty to refrain from any pub
lie statement.
Mr.. Gardner. referring to the
prosperity and peace OF the United
States and to the wonderful South
American continent which We have
closed to European colonization by
the Monroe doctrine, declared that
ne could not understand how any
intelligent student of history can
fail to see 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 Mr..
Gardner asserted, when the United
States can afford to allow the mar
tial spirit of her sons to be destroyed

peal OF the tolls provision of the Pam
anna canal act. This led to an align
ment which placed the president and
some of the party leaders on opposite
sides. Among those who took issue
with the chief executive being Speak
er Clark and Majority Leader Under
wood. Speaker Clark's defense of his
opposition to repeal furnished one of
the most spectacular climaXes in the
history of the house.
The president appeared before
joint sessions of the house and sem
ate on five occasions. He delivered
his general legislative message De-
cember .. Subsequent messages were
on antitrust legislation, the Mexican
situation, pleading for continuation
of "watchful waiting" the tolls re-
peal bill and the necessity for war
revenue bill.
Most important of the laws enacted
by the congress since December I i,
1913, were:
Federal reserve act creating 12
regional reserve banks. and federal
reserve board of control and reform
ing the currency system.
Federal trade commission act ere
ating commission of five members
and absorbing the bureau of corpo-
rations to investigate organization,
conduct and practices of Industrial
corporations; inquire into unfair
competition and alleged violation of
antitrust acts: to aid the depart

losses.
A wireless message from Berlin
says that it was officially announced
there today that the battle to the
east of Wirballen in Russian Poland
continues after II days of fighting,
favorably to the Germans, repeated
advances of the Russians having been
repulsed with heavy losses.
Paris says that the fighting con-
tinues along the frontier from War
saw to Przemysl, but gives no de-
tails.
A Russian advance in East Prussia
is suggested IN a dispatch from Am
sterdam, which quotes German cor
respondent at Rastenburg as report
ing that the civilian population of
Goldap has evacuated the town for
military reasons and precautions. y
Goldap is in East Prussia, 10 miles
from the, frontier and about 35 miles
north Of Lyck, where the Russians
were recently reported.
A news dispatch from Rome says
that fire in the Austro Hungarian ar
senal at Trieste virtually destroyed
a dreadnought and damaged six tor
pedo boat destroyers. Several work.

Washington, Oct. 15.-The first
regular session of the Sixty-third
congress which began December l.
1913, is about to be concluded. Be-
gun as an uninterrupted continuation
of the special session called by Pres
ident Wilson a month after his inau-
guration, it is the longest sitting OF
congress in the history of the nation.
The work, including that OF the
special session for tariff reform and
income tax provisions, represents the
Legislative achievement of the first
Democratic congress since March 4.
1897. The chief enactments include
the new currency law, antitrust leg
Fislation, repeal of the toll exemption
provision for American coastwise
ships in the Panama canal and the
provision to build government rail
|froad in Alaska.
The congress was remarkable for
1.-THE fact that in less than two years
it had to deal with conditions arising
from two foreign wars-the revolu-
tion in Mexico and the European
was on the verge of
facing a war between the United
States and Mexico. Both of these
situations demanded emergency leg
islation, some of which may have far
reaching effect upon the future
course of the nation in It's foreign
affairs.
AS a rule the utmost cooperation
between Democratic leaders In con
gress and President Wilson marked
the session. although one notable
break occurred in the party over re-

The Gardner resolution proposes
