ground and he suffered general
shake-up, but according to reports is
doing nicely.

U.S.LAUNCH
FIRED ON
BY TURKS
Uncle Sam Makes Investigation :
Wilson Thinks Will Not Be
International Affair
Will Mark Time
BY United Press.

By United Press.
Washington, Nov. 1S.-A launch
from the U. S. Tennessee was fired on
by the Turkish land batteries while
enroute from Vurlah to Smyrna, ac-
cording to a report from Capt. Decker.
The navy department has asked for
further particulars. Meanwhile it is
insisted that there is no cause for
alarm. Ambassador lMorgenthau no
titled the Tennessee to leave Vurlah
and the cruiser is now at Chios, a
Grecian possession in the Aegean sea.
The rumor received via Montreal
that Morgenthau had demanded pass
ports is thought to be ridiculous. It
is reported, however that the Tennes-
see and North Carolina viii be re-
called to avoid another mine disaster.
President Wilson has expressed his
confidence that the occurrence would
not be considered as an international
incident. In the absence of full par
ticulars the United States will mark
time
Efforts are being made now to COM
municate with Morganthau and the
American consul at Smyrna. Secre'
tary Daniels thinks the shot was prob
ably fired in order to warn the Ten
nessee Of a mined field. The harbor
Of Smyrna is mined and closed.
Capt. Decker reported that he was
going to ascertain the truth of the
rumors that American interests are il
danger in Smyrna and that foreigner:
are in peril of their lives.

APPLICANTS
SWARM FOR
WAR BONDS
By United Press.

By United Press.
London, Nov. 1S.-There has been q
steady stream of applicants for the
bond of $1,75O, 100000 as war loan.
The indications now are that there
will probably be an oversubscription
for the bonds.
David Lloyd-George, chancellor pro
posed and the house unanimously sup
ported him, that the income tax should
be doubled, but only collected on one
third of the income this year; that an
extra half penny tone cent? per half
pint should be levied on beer and an
extra three pence tsix cents) per
pound on tea.
He explained the expenditures on
the British troops would be higher in
proportion than that Of any other
country in the world, as the pay and
the cost of the army and navy were
greater; there were separate allow
ances to the men and their families
and pensions were on larger scale.
Already two million were serving and
another million were in the course OF
enlistment.
eve are fighting said the chancel-
lor, "an enemy who cannot offer any
terms that we can accept without a
smashing defeat. Therefore il there
is any doubt about the length Of the
war /, as chancellor of the exchequer,
must assume the longer period
He pointed out that during the war
and the period of reconstruction which
which would follow it there would be
no competition in the neutral markets
Of the world except from America and
that therefore England would com
mand those markets.
When that period of artificial stim
ulus was over the country would b
faced by the most serious industria
depression it ever had to face, as car
ital would be exhausted and custom
ers crippled and their purchasing pow
/ er depressed.
He hoped there would be great re
duction in the cost of armament afte
the war but predicted that the cour
try must expect heavily increased il
terest charges on the sinking fund
separation allowance and pensions.

Held Under $2,5OO
Bond on White Slavery

Leon Wilson was before U. s. Com
missioner Hamilton yesterday for pre-
liminary trial on charge of white
slavery. Wilson was represented by
local attorneys. The facts developed
during the examination were such that
the commissioner bound him over un-
der a bond of $25O0 for action Of the
grand jury. He could not furnish bond
and was remanded to Jail
The circumstances surrounding this
case are peculiar. The young woman,

She was placed under tond and is de-
tanned as a witness against Wilson.
Her brother, living at Hobart, tele-

that she and Wilson came here from
Coldwater, Kan, just before they
were taken into custody last week by
the city police department.
She asked the privilege yesterday OF
marrying Wilson, evidently for the
purpose of shielding him from further
proceedings. The privilege, if such il
may be called, was not granted.

Retiring Maj. Gen. Witherspoon in
Annual Report, Reports Need
for Much Larger U. S.
Army
WOULD MAKE 1T
2O5,OOO MEN
Also Favors Revenue System with
Mobile Strength Of 500, ,000--
Would Increase All Forces
Rapidly
By United Press.

~ CAitco ACoo.
Washington, Nov 1S.-The United
States needs more soldiers. Maj. Gen.
Witherspoon, who retired as United
States army chief of staff this week,
made the assertion in positive terms
in his annual report, made public to-
day.
Not only is this country unprepar-
ed to resist invasion by "a first class
power, he declared, but it is likewise
in no position to defend the Philip
pines, the Panama canal, Alaska or
Hawaii from hostile attack. More
over, he contended, the probable value
of our coast defense is questionable.
To relieve these alarming situations
Witherspoon counselled that the coun-
try's standing army be raised from
100000 men to 2O5,0 900, and that in adj
dition there be mobile army of 500,-
600 men of the first line and 100000
of the second line. That the United
States would do well to draw from
Germany's military training system
was his broad hint
In clear cut language this recogniz-
ed military expert declared that this
ltaiton, with its present military force
cannot possibly assemble rapidly
enough a sufficient strength, squipped
for field operations, to cope with an
enemy debarking on our shores. Dis
tribution 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
half a million soldiers. Witherspoon
would have thoroughly trained men,
equipped 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 IN.
der present organization plans, are to
tally inadequate for the needs of these
outlying districts, Witherspoon declar
ed. Effective defense of the Philip
pines is "manifestly impossible un
der present force. he said.
Likewise, the Panama canal cannot
! be protected against invasion by the
present garrison or by proposed add
tions thereto, unless the army is So
equipped that these troops could b'
rapidly reinforced from the United
States.
Of Alaska he said that the garrison
of 500 there 'yerges on the ridicu
lousn unless it could be reinforced a
the very earliest stages of an i'm
pending conflict" by forces from tn
states. The criticism, he declared
was applicable to Hawaii
Germans system of training so
diers was limited at as the best mean
of providing the mobile forces that h
recommended.
