TO URGE STEPS
FOR ADEQUATED DEFENSES
Secretaries Garrison and Daniels
Will Not Ask Extra Expenditures
of Congress, However.

No extraordinary expenditures have
been asked for by either the War or
Navy Department in the annual esti-
mates fled with the appropriation
committees of Congress, but the heads
of those departments in their reports
will discuss in great detail the best
methods of obtaining a mobile and
adequate army and a powerful and eff
cient navy.
Secretary Garrison will endeavor to
concentrate the attention of Congress
and the country-on the necessity for a
definite national military policy, eX-
tending over a period of years. Secre-
tary Daniels will recommend two bat
tleships and probably will ask Con-
gress to give the Navy Department au-
thority to expend lump sum for sub
marines without fixing the number.
Last year Congress appropriated an
aggregate of more than $4,000.00O for
the building of submarines, and speci-
fed that one of them should be a sea
going vessel, practically twice the size
of those used in coast patrol. Such
submarine will be the largest and
most powerful in the world, able to
accompany the fleet everywhere.
Increase III 1eTSOuAtl OcS1Icu
One OF the chief recommendations
the navy will make to Congress will
be an increase in personnel 1t is es-
timated that $4,000 more men will be
required to man the present feet, in
GLIDING ships now under construction.
The army and navy each viii maze
an appeal for more ammunition. The
shortage in torpedoes, shells and other
munitions have been pictured to Con-
gress for many years without much
success, but there is every indication
that not only ammunition but more
field artillery and 16-inch guns for
coast defenses will be pressed for with
renewed vigor.
What Secretary Garrison will chiefly
seek to obtain from Congress is a def
mite settlement OF the lndch-debated
problem of an adequate regular army
with the progressive development OF
policy analag gous to that formulated BY
the general board for the navy' = decade
ago when the program of two battle
ships a year was adopted. The gen
eraI staff has long been at work
plan for d reserve army. Details of
the plan that would tend to build up
the desired reserve force are expected
to be discussed by Mr.. Garrison in his
forthcoming report.

ing T. Bush, president Of the Bush Ter
minal. where the Christmas ship is re-
ceiving her cargo, said today that the
total number Of Christmas gifts to go
on the Jason will be more than one
| million. The gifts include everything
ina ginable that will contribute to the
comfort of the stricken sufferers of the
war zones. A Pittsburgh newspaper
sent as a part of it's contribution
enough wool blankets to cover seven
acres of ground.
One of the women workers, a Red
Cross employe. said today:
"I never imagined there were SO
many stockings and SO many suits of
underwear as I've seen going into the
Christmas ship
Soldiers Volunteer Their Aid.
Mai. +. H. Lawton of the quartermas-
ter.s department IS in charge OF a de-
tail of seventy-five soldiers from Fort
Jay and Fort Hamilton, who ere work
ing as volunteer stevedores in the load
ing OF the big collier. A detachment of
100 bluejackets and marines from the
Wyoming and the Florida, under COM
mand of Lieut.. w. D. Bungert, u. S. N,
is also at work, and these details are
only a part of the big force engaged at
the Christmas ship. More than 200 wom-
an workers for the Red Cross, with as
many men, are asserting and packing
the gifts ready for shipment, and Presi-
dent Bush has assigned pretty nearly all
his regular force of men to the JOB of
hustling the cargo aboard the Jason.
Even New Workers, accustomed to see
ing the biggest of everything, declare
they have never seen anything like the
heaps, stacks, piles and mSuntain ranges
of packages, boxes, barrels and bundles
which have been contributed for the
sufferers from the war. They look at
the immense quantities of clothing, toys.
foodstuffs-because several New York
firms have contributed rice. -four. beans,
etc, by the hundred bags-and throw up
their hands. 4,
Nothing like this ever happened in
New York before they declare.
May Not Sail Tuesday.
Lieut.. Commander c. Z. Courtney,
who is to command the Jason on her
trip across the Atlantic, said today
that there is a possibility the big ship
will not sail Tuesday.
Il don't see how in the world the
huge piles Of goods can be safely
slowed away in the time that remains
between now and Tuesday," he said.
II expect the sailing date will be post
poned until Thursday. which will just
about give time to get the stuff now on
hand safely into the holds.
1t is. going to take hustling to get
the work done, even if the Jason does
not sail until Thursday. That's what
the superintendents and foremen at the
Bush Terminals piers say, and they
ought to know. And. the gifts are still
coming-the gifts contributed by the
warm-hearted girls and boys and wom
en- and men of this land Of ours, to the
destitute. innocent sufferers in the

becomes necessary for them to sleep
with the bride in their hands to keep
their horse from being stolen.
Then when an army entrains, or the

II is necessary for the correspondents
here to engage automobiles a half

up hundreds Of dollars a month among
the correspondents in this city.
On an average there are more than
10000 words Of telegraphic matter

decked plains TO the city. Long, lean.

half starved, and he is about half

Travelling with an army on forced
