President Convinced.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-.A national
defense program that probably means
an expenditure on the army and navy
of upwards of billion do''ars, in the
next six years, will be laid before
the people iby President Wilson NO.
vember 4, when he goes to Ncw York
TO make his first public address since
the scope of the policy upon which
his administration has embarked te
came known.
The president will speak before the
Manhattan club of New York, on ma.
tional defense and the reasons which
impelled him to improve plans which
about doubled the navy and quadru-
pled the fighting forces ashore within
a few years.
New Expenditures.
With the estimates of the war and
navy departments submitted for the
coming year, the breadth of the ad-
ministration's policy as to prepared,
ness is being realized. 1t shapes as
follows:
"A navy of new ships and increase
in personnel in five years: $5oo,O0O,.
600.
Army-For reserve material EARNS
and ammunition) within four years,
$1O5, 600, 900. S
For new coast defenses and moo
ernization of old force, within four
years, $S1, 100000.
For the new continental army and
the proposed increase in the regular
army, $26,0OO,0OO (This announce
ment probably will be q, continuation
and. if anything, increasing apprcpri-
alton during the first six-year period.
which would make the, total eNpendi-
ture at that tine, $156O00,0o0.)
The grand total of expenditures
t.a,s actually planned would be $S42,-
100000.

Increasing Army

Washington, Oct. ,1S.-A definite
step toward enlarging the navy was
taken today, when contracts for the
construction of % fighting craft Were
let, whicl were authorized by the last
congress. They are six big cruiser de-
stroyers, 32Iknot iboats, each to carry
IL torpedo tubes, 4-inch guns, and two
3-inch anti-air craft guns, and Is coast
defense submarines, each displacing
more chan $50 tons, and each equipped
with 3.inch disappearing rifle for
surface fighting. The day set new
record for the department in the num-
her of contracts awarded.
One destroyer will be built at the
Norfolk navy yard and one at Mare
Island, Cal. Most of the subarines
will be built on the Pacific coast.
Big Fleet Planned.
According to plans laid out by ex
perts of the navy and war depart
ments, these expenditures would pro-
duce by 1925 a first line of dread
naughts and battle cruisers number
ing 43, a fleet of coast defense subj
marines that would fringe the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts, with an almost SOL
i'd line of defense against attacks;
feet of nearly 175 destroyers, and
squadrons of huge seagoing fleet sub
marines, to operate with the battle
squadrons at great distances from
shore.
For the army there would be at the
end of six years a trained force of
100000 men, including a regular ar
my of 100000 and the proposed con-
tinental army and reserves; a. ring OF
fully unnamed coast defenses, equipped
with the largest and most powerful
guns built, and a vast reserve of field
guns, machine guns and howitzers and
big guns and ammunition.
