LOWER COST Of LIVING
DISCUSSED BY WOMEN
Housekeepers' Alliance Gets Reports
on Utilizing the Mails
for Supplies.

The possibility OF reducing the cost OF
living by having farmers of this region
utilize the parcel post in sending eggs,
butter vegetables, etc, direct to city
consumers was discussed at a meeting of
the Washington Housekeepers' Alliance,
held yesterday at the home of Emile Ber-
liner. 1853 Columbia road. Mrs. Guion
Miller presided at the meeting.
Several members of the alliance stated
that they had talked with farmers and
poultry raisers in Maryland and virginia
and that the farmers had declared that
they would willingly cooperate with the
consumers if suitable containers for
eggs, dressed poultry, butter and other
farm products could be had at cost
which would permit their use.
At present it is stated, egg cases that
will travel safely by parcel post cost
about ) cents each, for the one-dozen
size. and farmers feel this is too much
to pay for containers when it is consid-
cred the postage must also be prepaid.
Another kind of parcel post contatner
for mailing eggs, ETC.. which IT was
claimed was absolutely safe, and which,
would cost less than containers now on
the market, was also described.
Proposed School Of Housekeeping.
The proposed school of housekeeping.
to be started under the direction of
the alliance as soon as sufficient funds
shall have been raised, was the sub
ject OF discussion. Reports were made
by the following committee chairmen:
Mrs. Sarah K. Lamb, investigation of
servants; Mrs Frederick Ransom, cor
porations; Mrs. w. D. Bigelow, school
of housekeeping: Miss Ellen vinton,
reference circle; Miss Georgia Robert
son, sanitation in the District.
Miss Constance Leupp made a plea
that a maximum day of eight hours
for woman workers be enacted into law
by Congress.

Ia VARRE, ON STAND,
TARGET FOR QUESTIONS
Denies Intention to Mislead Repre-
sentative Bartlett as to Light
house Bureau.

W. j. La Varre, upon whose charges
the present Investigation of the light
house bureau is being conducted, was
on the stand when the hearing was re-
sumed today, and was the target for a
series of questions by Secretary Redield
of the Department of Commerce. In re-
ply to Secretary Redfield's interrogations
Mr.. La varre stated that he had fur
nished Representative Bartlett with some
of the information upon which Mr.. Bart
lett based statements made ON the floor
of the House.
The witness declared that the day after
Representative Bartlett's speech was
made he went to the representative and
asked the latter to correct certain mis-
statements. Mr. Bartlett, the witness
said, stated that he did not think this was
necessary. Mr.. La Narre declared that
when he gave the Information to Repre-
sentative Bartlett he had no intention of
misleading him. 1t was expected that La
Varre's testimony will be concluded late
this afternoon. and that Representative
Bartlett will follow him. The hearing is
expected to conclude here Saturday. 1t
is to be resumed in New York the latter
part of the month.
Mark Flatly Denies Charge.
Rear Admiral Adolph Mark, U. S. N,
retired. who was chairman of the light
house board until the organization was
changed, fatty denied the charge that he
had made use of a trip abroad to further
the interests of firm from which the
government had been buying many of the
devices used in the lighthouse
service. After some questioning on the
part of the committee, w. j. LIE Varre,
who filed the charge, acknowledged that
his only information on the subject had
come from an unofficial source. and that
he no longer believed the charge true.
La Varre declared, however. that he
was still of the opinion that A. V. Con-
over. vice chairman of the lighthouse
board until 1910, and now secretary of
the company in question, had used his in
luence as former lighthouse official to
benefit his company. Mr.. Conover took
the stand and testified that his company
was selling its appliances to the govern
ment solely on their merits and that it
sold them to the United States govern
ment cheaper than to foreign govern
ments

Has 1ade Investigations.

For months Mr.. Morse has been work.
ing on this matter, investigating all the
circumstances which led up to his con-
viction six years ago Of the national
banking laws and his sentence to the At
lanta penitentiary. ~,
Mr.. Morse was sent to the Atlanta
penitentiary to serve q fiffeen-year SEN
tence. After quiet but persistent fight,
led by Mrs Morse, and backed by many
prominent persons. both in and out OF
Congress. his sentence was commuted to
expire Immediately by former President
Taft. Mr.. Taft acted on the statements
of prominent army surgeons, who de-
clared In a long report that Morse. in OF
out OF prison, could not live longer than
six months. The prisoner was released
from Atlanta within five days OF two
years ago. Shortly afterward he sailed
for Europe. took a cure and then re-
turned to the United States.

charge on which he was convicted. the
making Of false entries in the BOOKS OF
the National Bank of North America, was
more than was done by scores Of bankers
In New York. At the time Morse was
vice president of the bank and the testi-
mony showed that he made dummy loans
and was a purchaser OF the stock OF the
American Ice Securities Company and Of
the stock Of his own bank.

War Would Mean Slaughter of
American Troops, Says
Gen. Wood.
INADEQUATE PROVISION
FOR GUNS AND SUPPLIES
Chief Of Staff Urges Congress to
Appropriate $6,0o0,0o0
for Early Use.

Maj. Gen. Wood. chief of staff of the
army, has informed the House military
affairs committee that s.. 600 should be
appropriated for field guns and ammuni-
ton for the regular army and another
100000 should be appropriated for the
militia. He declared that If American
troops were sent into war as they are
now, without adequate guns or ammuni-
ton, sit would be absolute slaughter.
Gen. Wood insisted that in making his
recommendations to the committee he
was not Influenced by the serious situa-.
tion in Mexico. In his statement to the
House committee he said:
IF called into the field suddenly. we
should have to go with a very small al
1owance of ammunition, even for the
guns in the hands of the troops, and We
should have neither guns nor ammunition
enough for our field artillery forces.
We have neither guns nor ammuni-
ton sufficient to give any general COM
manding an army in the field any assur-
ance of success if attacked by an army
of equal size and supplied with its proper
quota of field artillery.
Evening star., 1914-01-08
Shows Need of Ammunition.

1t is my belief that no modern war
between first-class powers will last
for one year. and unless private manu-
facturers are encouraged to manufac-
ture ammunition for our guns, after
war is declared they will not be in
condition to do SO until after the war
is finished; and the supply Of ammuni-
tion during the war will be limited to
what the arsenals can turn out. At
present this is about 1900 rounds day.
running three shifts, and this ammuni-
tion, under ordinary battle conditions,
would be fired by eight guns in one
day of battle. If the guns are not sup
piled on the battlefield with the am
munition which they can be reasonably
expected to use they are not efficient.
and when guns have exhausted the
ammunition supplied they are worse
than junk. for they must be protected
by other troops.
THE War Department believes after
extended study that in case of war
with a first-class power an army of
100000 men will be needed to give this
country any chance of success against
invasion. and that this force will be
needed at once. To make 1t efficient 1t
must be given its proper quota of field
artillery. To do this. this artillery
must be on hand. for it cannot be sup
piled after war is started.
Evening star., 1914-01-08
All Guns Could Be Used.

Gen. Wood advised the committee that
while there is danger of the field artil-
lery or other large types of guns used
by the army becoming outclassed by
newer guns, there is no danger of their
becoming obsolete. because I'VE are ap-
preaching the limit of strength of ma
terials. both in the velocity of our guns
and in their range, SO far as one can
see" He said the army was trying to
keep sound type of gun which will
lend itself to minor notifications and not
hecome obsolete

While Mr.. Morse has not yet made

Suggests Army Changes.

Gen. Wood suggested that the United
States regular mobile army should be
organized into three infantry and two
caval-. divisions. with an aggregate war
strength of about 5000, requiring 81
batteries or 216 guns.
With the cooperation of the state
governors" he said. the militia could
now be organized into twelve infantry
and five auxiliary divisions, with an ag-
gregate war strength of 2.0O0 men,
needing la batteries. or COG guns. The
entire aggregate of the two forces would
thus be 36I,O00 men, or approximately
two field armies short of the force of
100000 men. These two field armies will
require les guns apiece, or $50 guns. The
United States garrisons abroad have
siXty-eight guns. Noting that the militia
has in its hands about 81 per cent of the
guns it should have" Gen. Wood added,
Ito summarize, for the regular army and
volunteers we would need 596 guns and
for the militia, 696 guns.
Evening star., 1914-01-08
Foe Can Strike Any Time.

You cannot make large quantity of
field guns and ammunition without TAX
Ing months or years to do it. We would
be absolutely helpless if We did not have
them. No country can go into the field
today without a liberal supply of artil-
lery. unless it goes in to be licked And
we are as liable to have war as anybody
else" Referring to the United States
being a rich country, he said. If we
are unprepared for war. there would be
more temptation for a country to strike
us, and if it makes up its mind to do so
il can strike US at any time
The field guns wanted for a force of
100000 men. Gen. Wood declared, would
be used for defensive purposes. as this
country would not start to go abroad
with an army of that size. On the other
hand. he said, it was hardly likely that
any nation would send any smaller army
than 100000 or 100000 men across the
Atlantic ocean to this country, after dis
posing of this country's feet, if ever
such an event happened

sAyAGERY IN COLORADO

That President Wilson was justified
by events, IL not in principle, In send
ing Federal troops to Colorado, and
none too soon in acting, IS evident
from the shocking details OF recent
atrocities. The red men of the west 80
and 35 years ago, in their encounters
with frontiersmen and United States
soldiers, were scarcely more savage,
save as to scalplng, than have been
these white men of Colorado.
To the shame of slaughtered women
and children has been added the un-
speakable crime of the killing of Maj.
p. P. Lester, physician bearing the
Red Cross insignia, while engaged in
open view in endeavoring to save the
life of wounded guardsman. This
incident. moreover, and others in
which 13 lives were lost occurred more
than n day after the president, of
the United States had issued his pEac.l
lamation. 4a5tfa Ia .,,., fr,4i
Thus II appears to be oven more i'm
peratiye, than appeared earlier in the
strife that the Federal authorities
shall proceed with rigorous measures
toward the restoration of,eorderlyl
conditions. This accomplished, it Is
neither the duty nor intention, Of. the
government permanently to police
Colorado. This is a duty of the state
which may not be evaded il it would
make e.. pretanse OF maintaining q
republican form of government; and
1t must do so at whatever. cost in
money or defeat OF trouble-breeding
factions among the population.

party TO adopt for the protection OF
the primaSles the laws OF the state
with reference to general elections.
Mr.. McMahan is an idealist, although
II must be said that his ideals are
high and his purpose lofty and his
life I'm keeping with those ideals. But
he Is, we fear, too far in advance of
the times. 1t was he who in the con-
stitutional convention as far back as
1895 wished to have an ordinance
along the line OF what Is now cons
monty known az "eugenics,--to pre-
vent the marriage OF good. pure
woman to any man mentally and
physically disqualified for the sacred
home. relation. 1t cannot be said
that he was wrong, but that the, world
was not ready to accept such a theory.
And so 1t is, we fear, today. we adj
NIT that we see no bug-a-boo in the
proposition. Nearly every poor man In
the country is registered, II not the
registration machinery is In the
hands of good men who can and will
issue certificates to any white man
who has lived within the state long
enough to qualify. AS q matter of
fact tho men who would be "disfran-
chised, as some have seen fit TO put
1t, are the socalled 'trlch." who
through business cares or for other
reason have failed to get registered
or, have misplaced i their certificates,
we see no harm in the registration
plan, butawe do not think 1t necessary
or expedient at this time. IT will
have to come some day, and we haye
thought this for. long time.
Something must be done to make
ths primary more business like. That
is the only short coming today. The
