first week of next July. Incidentally, this city was given recognition for the activities of it's citizens in Shrine work. MT. Porter has been a direc- tor for many years and his attention has always been turned to the well fare of New Britainites. His has been the first hand to welcome the novice before and after his journey over the sands of the Connecticut desert Many erstwhile novices, mindful of his charming treatment, braved the snows of last evening to go to Hartford to vote for his election.
 Tom Morgan, of Hartford, leader of the Shrine band in the past, was last evening elected to the post of potente, the highest office in the local organization. He has been popular and we'll known to Shriners since his affiliation with the order. The band, built up under his direction, is the best Shrine band in the country. Horace w. Eddy was the other New Britain man elected, or reelected, to cffice. He was chosen Oriental guide, a post which he successfully filled for several years There are of course several local men on the list of di- rectors which Potentate Morgan will announce later.
 There are four representatives from Sphinx Temple going to Buffalo. They are, Henry Strong, past poten- tate; Tom" Morgan, potentate: Henry Toothaker, chief rabban, and MT. Porter The Imperial council is the governing body of all the Shrines in North America.
 Inasmuch as it is planned to have the Sphinx Arab Patrol and band oc- company the delegation and there are several New Britain members of both it is probable that this city will send large delegation to the Bison city in July

NO EXPRESS TRAINS
 ON NEW HAVEN ROAD
Until All Necessary Repairs Have Been Made of Damage Caused by
 the Storm.

New York, Dec. 16.-The Bay State, knickerbocker, and Merchants Linn ited will not be run between New York and Boston today by the New York, New Haven & Hartford rail- road, it was announced here by Ed ward G. Riggs, executive assistant.
 MT. Riggs said that the telegraph and signal wires damaged by the storm early in the week had not yet been completely repaired and while it is safe to operate locals or slow trains under the circumstances, 1t would be far from safe to undertake the operation of fast express trains For this reason, he said, the Boston and Springfield expresses will not be put on again until all necessary re- pairs have been made.
 Thee New York Central announced today that adverse conditions caused by the storm have been materially improved, and all trains are leaving here on schedule time. Arrivals are in most cases on time, and freight is again being moved over the lines be- tween here and Albany, where the conditions were the worst.

Players Demand That Status Be Granted if Plan
 Goes Through.

New York, Dec. 16.-New angles to the baseball peace situation developed rapidly today, and the efforts of or ganized and independent interests to get together on a harmonious business basis may result in far reaching read justments of the entire professional baseball structure. Many of the players, who see in the proposed peace agreement the passing of big salaries and long term contracts, are demand ing that their status be considered in any arrangement made between the various leagues, claiming that they are the real foundation of the game. Leading members and officials of the Players Fraternity have been in close touch with the situation and are pre- pared to make fight if their rights are threatened. ,..
 Close followers of the game both in playing and official positions are said to realize that crisis is at hand and there is more at stake than ap- pears on the surface at this time.

STANDING ARMY OF
 ONE MILLION MEN
Necessary to Defend U. S Against Possible InvasiOns,
 Says Senator Works.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Senator
 Works of California told the senate
 today that a standing army of one
 million men would be necessary to
 defend the United States against pos sible invasion and declared that
 the Pacific coast was completely at
 the mercy of Asiatic attack.
 Senator Works spoke on the sub
 ject of national defense but particu-
 larly to propose as a part of the scheme of preparedness the creation
 of a mobile land force and military
 reserve of 20O,O0O men at cost of i $5O,OOO,0O0 year for ten years I The proposed enlisted men in civil | and military reserve would be set 1 tied, according to the Works bill, with their families in comfortable l five-acre tracts provided by the gov- ernment, supplementing ten months of productive work at reforestatfon. 1 irrigation and flood prevention with two months of military training each year. They would be soldier-settlers under control of the secretary of in
 terior in times of peace and subject to orders of the war department ill times of war
 Pointing to American occupation of vera STuZ dS an 1nQ1CaClOn that war was constant possibility, Senator Works said: "Who can say after this exhibition of ungovernable pas sion, after this slaughter of the in nocent citizens of another nation and the forcible invasion of it's territory for so trivial a cause, that this na- tion does not need to prepare for war? If Mexico had not been weak from internal conflict, we would even then have been at war, for our forci-
 ble entry upon her territory was It. self an act of war.
 There are enough Japanese in California now to man and destroy every line of communication from the east, isolating California and depriving her of all aid in troops and ammunitions. Mexico is open to the entry of the Japanese and once there 1 it is but a step across an invisible boundary into the United States. Outlining the scope of his bill, l Senator Works declared a million fa- ] miles could be recruited from the tenement districts of the great cities 1 alone and settle on homestead tracts ! in the west at a less cost than is l now spent in the annual flood wastes
 of the Mississippi, and with two
 months energetic military training provide a reserve force assuring pre- 1 paredness against invasion but also against the forces of flood and fire.
