Senator Weeks Asks
For Army Reserve

Washington. d. C., Dec. II. - Declar-
ing that there has been too much pub
licity of the military affairs of the ma
tion, Senator Weeks. of Massachusetts.
in speech in the Senate to-day opposed

military preparedness praised the
strength and personnel of the navy and
urged the organization of an army re-
serve.
ANY one may learn about our mill
tary or naval establishment by read
ing the reports of the secretaries of the
departments and the reports of those
who are conducting the different bu-
reauS and branches of the strvice," said
the Senator. 1T is an open book TO all
our citizens and there need be no doubt
about our relative position or our capa-
bilities IL one is disposed to study re
ports instead of seeking notoriety in
the press.
in fact. there is and has been al
together too much publicity in such
matters, in my judgment. We have
had a demonstration during the present
European war of the value of secrecy
in conducting military operations, and
there is no reason why we should
spread broadcast what we are doing or
what preparations we have made. :
have no doubt every European country
is informed in the minute detail of our
condition both on land and sea, and if
any change in our methods is to be
made IL should not be in the direction
of theater publicity. but should be to
protect our onerations. even in time of
peace from scrutiny both at home and
abroad.
Would Not Change Policy
AT this time" he continued. 1T does
not seem to me that it is wise or pru-
dent TO take any action which will
change our policy or add to our naval
equipment, except by an omnibus ap
propriation which can be expended un-
der the direction of the general board
of the navy. with the approval of the
Secretary of the Navy and the Presi-
dent. Based on the experience of the
past. our naval establishment is i'm a
class with that of Germany and France
and probably second only to that of
Great Britain"
Senator Weeks maintained that the
army was of sufficient strength, and
proposed its reorganization, not for the
purpose of increasing the permanent
the active army. but for the organiza-
tion of a reserve corps which would
make available large forces of trained
soldiers at all times eff the military

asked Representative Hensley, of Mis-

"Dahomey," replied Mr. Daniels
amid laughter.
I'VE should not consider war with

we should prepare for our defense
from whatever quarter an attack may
come; a defense against any enemy.
We must prepare to denfend ourselves
in the very best way we can. Many
people believe that our navy ought to
be greater than any or all of the other
nations. IL any country comes and at
tacks we must make the greatest de-
Tense we can. If you so into war you
go in to win"
Secretary Daniels. replying to a
question, said the United States ought
not to acquire another foot of terri
tory.
Secretary Daniels said the Navy De-
partment had official information from
London that the Audacious positively
was lost, despite reports that she had
been raised.
"If this European war continues
without the frst-class battleships tok-
ing part, do you think. il necessary to
continue to build battleships?" he was
asked
Certainly, it is necessary replied
the Secretary. THE Germans always
have their ships ready to go out. The
English are now using their ships to
control commerce on the sea, but they
are always potentially in readiness for
action"

dominating necessity of dreadnaughts
to maintain the strength of great
powers at sea, with submarine boats
and submarine mines as minor essen
tials, was emphasized to-day by Sec

committee. He declared that if for
eign foe came to attack the United
States the battleships would first be
relied upon and then would come the
submarines-and mines
Mr.. Daniels reiterated that the Eu-
ropean war so far had demonstrated
the wisdom of the naval program out
lined for this session of Congress.
"Battleships. he said, ARE the only
ships we can rely on to command the
seas"
Secretary Daniels continued to-day
speaking. on the constructive program.
He testified that emergency battleships
could be built at various places and
that while thirty months now was nor
mally required for shipbuilding COM
UanY to turn out q battleship, it might
be possible to cut down the time to
two years. He said there were facili-
ties at the Newport News. Cramps,
New York and Fore River Shipbuild-
ing Companies.

BRANCH BUYER FINDS PRICE OF
WOMEN'S GARMENTS SLIGHT
LY ADVANCED - DOES NOT
GUARANTEE FUTURE PRICES.

BENZ. Glazier returned Sunday night
from Chicago, New York and other
eastern cities where he spent three
weeks. Mr.. Glazier occupied most Of
this time in selecting q stock of wo-
mems and misses ready-to-wear gar
ments for the Branch, some Of which
have already arrived.
Mr.. Glazier learned good many in
teresting things about conditions brot
about by the European war, which
stand a good chance Of revolutionizing
American merchandising, for the pres
ent at least. Garments have already
advanced considerably in price and Mr..
Glazier looks for them to 60 still
higher. The bright colored garments
are apt to 60 especially high, as prac-
tically all of our dyes come from Ger
many. He selected large stock fol
the falls business, which he will sell
as reasonably as possible. Present
prices are not guaranteed and he
states that those who buy early will
not make any mistake.
Business is quiet in Chicago, the big
stores apparently doing but little. Mr.
Glazier brings back the very latest
styles in garments and the incest stock
he has yet selected.

URDAY EVENING - MUCH
GRAIN IN SHOCK.

Hail destroyed thousands of dollars
worth Of fine crops north and north
east Of Minot Saturday evening about
six o'clock when terrific storm came
up from the west. It was accompanied
led by severe wind which made the
damage more complete.
The fact that so much Of the grain
was in the shock is all that saved far
greater destruction, but as it was,
many will feel their loss keenly.
The worst storm was but mile
wide, altho some hail fell in this city.
i Seventy-five per cent of the flax
crop on the John Lee farm north Of
the city was destroyed by the hail, and
corn on this farm was badly damaged.

Woelk, Adam Blocher and Ernest
Weed sustained some damage. The
hail was accompanied by very severe
wind, being very destructive.
G. D. Lambert, north Of Surrey, had
finished filling his silo that day. The
corn left standing was stripped. Len
