SALVAGE Of Empress Of ireland.


The Yankee Salvage Association OF
New York, which has the contract to
salve the Empress of Ireland, sunk In
the st. Lawrence river, was notified
by William Wotherspoon, Arranging
director, that they have succeeded In
recovering the purser's safe contain
ing a large amount of silver bullion
as we'll as other valuables belonging
TO passengers. They have also sue
ceeded in recovering seven bars OF
silver bullion out of total of $3.50, 900
worth consigned to various banking
interests in Canada. Now that the
silver bullion has been located, there
is hardly any doubt that the remain
der will also be recovered. The work
Fof bringing up bodies continues in a
satisfactory manner, considering the
difficulties under which 1t Is being
done, the steamship lying in over 100
feet of water. The divers have also
recovered considerable number OF
mail bags, and it now appears abso-
.lutely certain that all of the mail Will
be brought to the surface. The Cana
dian postal authorities awarded the
contract for the recovery of the mail
matter to the Yankee Salvage Asso-
ciation. ~

Declares Too Much Publicity Is
Given to Military Affairs
of the Nation
IBy Latest MALL

WASHINGTON, d.. C.-Declaring
that there has been too much publicity
OF military affairs Of the nation. SEN
ator Weeks of Massachusetts, in a
speech in the senate opposed agita-
ton for special investigation of mill
tary preparedness, praised the strength
and personnel OF the navy and urged
the organization Of an army reserve,
Any one may learn about our mill
tary or naval establishments by read
ing the reports Of the secretaries OF
the departments and the reports Of
those who are conducting the different
bureau and branches OF the service, |"
said the senator 1t is an open beck
to all our citizens and there need be
no doubt as to our relative position or
our capabilities, IL one Is inclined to
study reports instead OF seeking no.
toriety In the press.
I'm fact there is and has been too
much publicity In such matters, in my
Judgment. We have had a demonstra-
ton during the present European war
ol the value of secrecy I'm conducting
reason why We should spread broad
east what we are doing or what pre-
parations We have made.
Il have no doubt every European
country Is informed in the most minute
detail OF our condition both on land
and sea, and II any change in our
methods Is TO be made, Il should not
be in the direction of greater pub
Lefty, but should be to protect our
operations even In time OF peace from
acrufiny both at home and abroad.
While expressing the hope that the
European war would be the last great
war and that nations would ''see the
folly Of maintaining such great mile
fary establishments as great Euro
pean countries have done and that a
general agreement may be made which
VIII provide for at least q partial dis
armament" Senator Weeks main
tanned II was the part OF wisdom to
consider which course to follow In
case such a result should not come.
AT this time, he continued, 1T
docs not seem to me that II is wise
or prudent 10 take any action which
will change our policy or add to our
naval equipment except by an omni-
BUS appropriation which can be ex-
pended under the direction Of the
general board of the navy, with the
approval Of the secretary of the navy.
and the president Based on the ex-
Derfenee Of the past our naval es-
tablishment IS in class with that of
Germany and France and probably
second only to that Of Great Britain. r
Senator Weeks maintained that the
army was insufficient and proposed
re reorganization not for the purpose
OF increasing the permanent active
army, but for the organization Of q
reserve corps which would make
available large forces OF trained sol
dIers at all times.
IF the military experts are right,
he said. that the country needs q
force OF 100000 trained men supple-
mented by from 100000 to 100000 vol-
unteers to give it reasonable chance
OF protection against q probable foe
