Labor Federation Heads
Protest Against Increase
of Country's Defenses

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1s.-A firm
stand against increasing the defenses
OF this country was taken by the
chief officers of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor today. This action
was provoked by the report of the
retiring head of the United States
army, General WotheTspoon, who
counseled that the United States
army be increased to a million men,
trained after the German style.
II am emphaticaJy and uncompro-
misingly opposed to any scheme tc
enlarge the United States army and
navy" exclaimed Samuel Gompers,
president OF the federation. Il be-
lleve that those who wish to abolish
war must lose no opportunity to I'M
part the ethics of humanity and TO
make the sacredness of human life
part of the thought and action Of
the nation.
James Duncan. first vice-president

ment in his opposition to General
Wctherspoon's advice.
Duncan said: 1T would prove a
serious mistake TO continue TO i'm

precipitated the greatest conflict of
al ages, catastrophe tnat VIII per-

HERMAN R|DDER
|NDORSES SHAW
Declares 1t Was Left to an
freshman to Tell Truth of
British War Policy.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1S.-George
Bernard Shaw's article on Common
Sense Abont the War che first sec
ton of which was published in the
New York Times, is hailed enthusiast
tically by Herman Ridder in the
Stats Zeltung today as the truth"
about the origin of hostilities. He
says:
After hundred days of English
explanations, distortion and hypoc-
risies and all the other instruments
of casuistry which can be employed
by O. government to justify it's con-
duct in a most ambiguous position,
it remained for an Irishman to per-
nit himself the luxury of telling the
truth.
~ have never maintained that Ger
many has told all the truth; that she
has any claim to all the right In the
present conflict, or that ali the justice
is on her side. ! have simply given
expression to a suspicion, all along
entertained that England has not
had monopoly of the truth, right
and justice. / find this suspicion
ably sustained in Mr.. Shaw's article.
THE position adopted by Mr. Shaw
Is a distinct step forward. II offers
q real neutral ground on which we
all may meet and discuss the true
character of the struggle going on
before our eyes. That the American
people, through their many editors,
did not hit upon this idea is strange,
to say the least. 1t is one which
should have appealed to all true
democrats from the outset.
"Of course, Mr.. Shaw viii not be
taken seriously in England. He
never has been. Very few Irishmen,
in fact, are taken seriously in Eng
land until there is room for them at
the front. And no man who talks
common sense in England or in Ger
many, for that matter. will be lis
tened to while the war is on. Com
mon sense may follow peace, but it
will not precede it. But while he
win not be accepted in England, Mr..
Shaw will be read. and ii amuses
ME to picture the "upholders of little
nations" and the defenders of
the democracy ands civilization Of
Europe choking with impotent rage
at the playwright who has dared to
speak what they have striven so
hard to forget

UNITED STATES NEEDS MORE SOLDIERS
SAYS MAJOR-GENERAL w. w. WOTHERSPOON
Declares Country Unprepared
for Invasion or to Defend
Foreign Possessions.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-America
badly needs more soldiers. General
Wotherspoon, who retired as United
States army chief of staff this week,
made this claim in positive terms in
his annual report made public today.
Not only is the country unprepared
TO resist invasion Ny first-class
power, he held, but it is likewise in
no position to defend the Philippines,
the Panama canal, Alaska or Hawaii
from hostile attack. Moreover, he
eQntendedi the probable value of our
coast defenses is questionable.
To relieve these alarming situa-
lions Wotherspoon counselled that the
country's standing army be raised
from 100000 men to 205, 900, and that
in addition there be a mobile army Of
100000 men of the first line and 100000
of the second line. That America
would do well to draw from. Ger
many's military training system was
his broad hint.
In clear gut language this rscog-
nized military expert held that this
nation with its present military
strength cannot possibly assemble

Distribution Of forces on wide front
was advised. because OF the wide
choice of landing. places open to an
enemy. ~
For the first line mobile force of q
half million men Wotherspoon would
have thoroughly trained men equip
ped. with provisions and supplies for
six months. These would be REIN
forced by a second line of 100000
drawn from the organized militia and
similarly provisioned.
Troops now distributed in foreign
Possessions, or to be distributed un-
der the present organization plans

of these outlying districts, says Cen

wise the Panama canal cannot be
protected against foreign invasion. by
the present garrison or by proposed
additions thereto unless the army is
SO equipped that these troops could
be rapidly reinforced from the United
States. OF Alaska, he said that the
500 garrison there vergcs on the
ridiculous, unless ii could be rein
forced at the very earliest stages of
an impending conflict by forces
from the States. The same criticism
he felt was applicable to Hawaii.
Ger1nany's system of training sol
diers was limited al as the best means
of providing the mobile forces that
he recommended. -
In any scheme to create such q
force OF mobile troops as contem-
plated above the report said. I'VE
cannot do better than to follow the
example of the master minds In mill

Tense. The policies developed in this
direction all include, among others,
the primary plan of using the stand
ing army as school for the training
of men, who, on graduation from
that school, pass into the reserve and
constitute the real national military
strength. Experience has shown that

sible limit of time within which tho

just issued record the deaths of two
generals and the wounding of an
other. General Alfred Won Vrieien

General Won Lepel is the other com

the field of battle. General Won
Lepel was in command of the reserve
infantry division. General Stenger,
commander Of the Fifty-third Ger1
man Infantry Brigade, is listed as
having been severely wounded.

this account, that the governor, with
his adjutant, approached Kutno in

posals OF the directors, which We're

stated, by the demands of war and
by earlier engagements of the works,
purchases of coal fields and SO forth,
which locked up considerable capi-
tai. The new stock issue Will, as
usual, be taken by the Krupp FAM
