Speaks Plainly and Directly on Cues
tion of National Defenses.
The other topic shall take leave
to mention goes deeper into the prin-
ciples of our national life and policy.
1t Is the subject of national defense.
1t cannot be discussed without first
answering some very searching ques-
ions. 1t is said in some quarters that
we are not prepared for war. What IS
meant by being prepared? Is ii meant
that we are not ready upon brief no
tice to put nation in the field, na-
ton of men trained to armsf or
course we are not ready to do that,
and We shall never be In time OF peace
so long as We retain our present polit
ical principles and institutions And
what Is it that 1t Is suggested we
should be prepared to do--to defend
ourselves against attack? We have al,
ways found means to do that and
shall find them whenever it is neces'
sary without calling our people away
from their necessary tasks to render
compulsory military service in times
of peace.
Allow me to speak with great plain
ness and drectness upon this great
matter and to avow my convictions
with deep earneStneSs. have tried
to know what America is, what her
people think. what they are. what they
most cherish and hold dear. hope
that some Of their finer passions are in

to this government and which have
made the voice Of this people voice
of peace and hope and liberty among
the peoples of the world. and that,
speaking my own thoughts. shall, at
least in part, speak theirs also, how

this vital matter.

COASTS OF ALASKA
SHOULD BE SURVEYED.
Present Dangers to Navigation Ought
to Be Removed by Charts.

There is another matter Of which |
must make special mention, If l. am to
discharge my conscience, lest it should
escape your attention. 1t may seem
very small thing. 1t affects only q
single item Of appropriation. But
many human lives and many great en-
terprises hang upon it 1t is the mat
ter Of making adequate provision for
the survey and charting OF our coasts,
It is Immediately pressing and exigent
in connection with the immense coast
line of Alaska, coast line greater
than that Of the United States them
selves. though il is also very 1mpor-
tant indeed with regard to the older
coasts of the continent
We cannot use our great Alaskan
domain, ships will not ply thlther, II
those coasts and their many hidden
dangers are not thoroughly surveyed
and cnarted. The work is incomplete
at almost every point Ships and lives
have been lost in threading what were
supposed to be we'll known main chan
nels. We have not provided adequate
vessels or adequate machinery for the
survey and charting We have used
old vessels that were not big enough
or strong enough and which were sc
nearly unseaworthy that our inspectors
would not have allowed private own
ers to send them to sea. This is
matter which, as l have said, seems
small, but is in reality very great Its

SAYS SHIPPING SILL
IS VERY IMPORTANT
lt Should Be Passed to Profit by Open
ed Gates of Trade.


Hence the pending shipping bill, dis
cussed at the last session, but as yet
passed by neither house. In my Judg-
ment such legislation is imperatively
needed and cannot wisely be postpon-
ed. The government must open these
gates of trade. and open them wide,
open them before it is altogether profit
able to open them or altogether rea-
sonable to ask private capital to open
them at a venture. 1t is not question
of the government monopollzing the
field. It should take action to make
1t certain that transportation at rea-
sonable rates will be promptly pro-
vided, even where the carriage is not
at first profitable, and then, when the
carriage has become sufficiently profit
able to attract and engage private cap
ital and engage it in abundance, the
government ought to withdraw.
very earnestly hope that the congress
will be Of this opinion aDd that both
houses will adopt this exceedingly i'm
Dortant bill.
The great subject Of rural credits
still remains to be dealt with. and It
10 q matter of deep regret that the diff.
aculties Of the subject have seemed to
render It impossible to complete bill
for passage at this session. But 1t can
not be perfected yet, and therefore
there are no other constructive meas

RECORDS PHONE TALK.
New Edison Machine One Of the
Greatest Wonders.

Edison's latest invention, the tele-
scribe, which records both ends of a
telephone conversation, was exhibit
ed at the rooms of the Seely Office
Appliance company, ia Liberty
street.
The machine is simple. The desk
telephone is equipped with two trans
mitters and two receivers. The talk
er uses one set and the other set is
hitched to phonograph record
which takes down every sound on
the wire. The phonograph is
started recording and stopped at will
by pressing buttons.
But though the machine is simple
and easily understandable, like other
Edison inventions, it represents years
of experiment. 1t was pointed out
Yesterday that though Mr.. Edison
said of the photograph in 1878 'the
phonograph will perfect the tele-
phone" neither he nor any one else
perfected a mechanism to record tel
ephone conversations in the 36 years
following his phophecy until rhe ap-
pearance of the telescribe.
An important difficulty was the
weakness of the voice at the further
end of the telephone wire. This was
overcome by putting one receiver
against an acousticon, which suffici-
emily magnifed the sound to permit
the phonograph to take it down clear
ly.
It was said that 60 per cent Of all
communication in this country today
is over the telephone. The cfief val
ue of the telescribe is expected to be
in fixing exactly what was said or
agreed to by phone in business trans
actions. One telescribe will serve
for all the business Of a firm. 1t can
be affixed to the switchboard and
used in recording any conversation
wished. The price OF the instrument
has not yet been settled.

VILLA WOULR CONQUER L. 5.
Carranza Makes Personal Appeal to
Wilson.

San Antonio. Texas October IS
Through Roberto Y. Pesqueira, his
accredited diplomatic representative
in the United States, Gen Eenustiano
Carranza tonight sent a personal ap-
peal TO President Wilson and the
State department protesting against
the activities OF George c. Carot1ers
and alleging undue friendliness of
agents of the United States towards
Gen. Villa. The statement. given out
at Constitutionalist headquarters
here is Carranza's first direct appea!
to this country and says in part:
I'VE have every reason to believe
that the accredited representative OF
the American government George
C. Carothers is being Influenced by
Francisco Villa, alias Doreteo Aran-
go. This is his true name. He has
assumed the name of Francisco Villa
only for reasons known to himself.
This fact We would like the State de-
partment and the American public
to know.
"At the very moment that he was
openly declaring friendship for the
United States he was threatening to
invade this nation at Ell Paso and de-
clared to his closest advisers that he
would conquer the nation in few
months campaign. That when a
few months ago Arrange was declar-
ing that the conduct of the U1ited
States was justified in the Vera Cruz
matter he was at the same time
swearing vengeance upon this ma
ton.
81 think that the Washington ad-
ministration and especially Mr.. Will
son himself should know in view of
his Mobile speech and the sentiments
expressed then that the special in
terests that have played such an i'm
portant part in American politics
and sustained administrations Of the
past are in league with this same
Doroteo Arango.'
