WANTS HEARING ON
QUESTION OF DEFENSE
Congressman \. II. Gardner Asks to
BE Allowed to Quiz Witness
on Bigger Navy.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.-Congress-
man Augustus p. Gardner, of Massa-
chusetts, who stirred congress with
his Wake up, America!" speech a
month ago, asked Chairman Robert L.
Henry of the house committee on rules
in a letter Monday to fix two days in
December for n hearing on his resolu-
ton for a commission to asc -rtain
the adequacy of the national defense.
Congressman Gardner wrote that he
could assure Chairman Henry that
many civ IAN witnesses" would Ies-
tify and tat many army and navy
officers were eager to go upon the
stand to urge the creation of the pro-
posed commission unless the admin
iStration feels that the public interest
requires that officers be forbidden to
comment on the situation at this
time"
The Massachusetts congressman
asked that he be allowed to partici-
pate in the quizzing of witnesses. Be
cause of the intense interest awakened
in the development of the national
defense in the last few months ii is
believed that Rep. Gardeners request
for a hearing on his bill will be al
lowed. If so congress Will have an
array of evidence TO guide il in de-
termining exactly what the navy
needs"

BRITISH SHIPS ON
HUNT FOR GERMANS
Seven Dreadnaughts Racing to- Join
Jap Fleet i'm Pacific
Ocean

NEW YORK. Nov. 10.-Seven Brit
ish dreadnaughts are racing under
forced draught to the Pacific coast TO
join the japanese squadron in ferret
ing out the German cruisers that de-
feated Admiral Cradock's fleet off the
Chilean coast last week. 1t is be-
lieved that the battleships will use the
Panama canal in their voyage TO the
Pacific, thereby saving the time and
coal that would be consumed by a trip
around Cape Horn.
The dreadnaughts, their tunnels
spouting great volumes of black
smoke. were sighted by the United
Fruit steamer SURNAME in port Mon
day from Belize, British Honduras
and Santiago, Cuba, and by the steam
er Can. pisto, a freighter from Brazil
ian ports.
Lieut.. James Cavanaugh. r. y, re-
tired was a passenger on the Surf
name and declared that there could
be no doubt but what the warships
sighted were dreadnaughts OF a late
class.
1T has been rumored in the West
Indies for some time" he said. that
a force Of dreadnaughts would soon
arrive to put an end TO the depreoa-
tons of the Karlsruhe. Kron Prinz
Wilhelm and Dresden. which are re-.
sponsible for the loss of 50 many
English ships of the South American
coast and I expect their arrival has
been fastened by the news Of Admiral
Cradock's defeat"

SCIENCE CAUSE OF
MODERN WARP ARE
Bishop Hickey Says World May
Have Different View When
Conflict Ends in Notre Dame
Talk.

NotTe Danes lecture season opened
yesterday with two short talks The
first was given in the morning Dy
Bishop Hickey OF Rochester. n Y
He took as his subject his trip to
Europe during the summer months.
DR.. Walsh, who lectured in the after
noon, told Of the various problems Of
war.
Science is the cause of modern war
fare said Bishop Hickey, and at the
end OF the war the world may take an
other view Of the present situation.
He stated that men were not shot
down but were mowp down by modern
science. Then he cited the relations
OF church and state in France and
gave examples about how they were
prosecuted a few years ago but now
they are looking to the church for aid.
Bishop Hickey briefly traced his trip
to Rome and his hOmeward trip
through the war zone.
DR. Walsh made his talk exception
ally interesting by giving a large
number of statistics regarding the
war. over 100000 men have been
wounded or killed and the war costs
approximately S55, 100000 a day. If
il continues for another 100 days it
will cost $11,000,0 0O,O 600. He told
why more surgeons are killed than
hers because they must go to the front
to treat the patients. Every article
the soldiers carries is of use to the
surgeon. the gun is used for splints,
the knapsack for bandages and his
water pouch for water TO cleanse the
wound. The surgeon carries nothing
but his morphine kit, and injects NOR
Prime into the arm of the deliriOus
soldier so that he viii not shatter the
courage of his fellows.
He stated that the common belief
that education should be an impetus
among the people to stop fighting was
not enough but il is his will power.
In England nine out of every ten and
even more of the murderers are exc
cuted while in America 80 out of
every 700 are not. He cited that il
was possible for every man to quit the
drink habit and il was not education
that was necessary but will power. In
conclusion he made n strong plea that
the growing generation would try 10
establish world peace.
