BRIGHTER FOR ROADS, REPORT
TrumbuII Tells Wilson Condition of
Carriers Is Improving.

Cheering reports of improvements
in the general condition of the rail-
roads were brought to President will
son yesterday by Chairman Frank
Trumbull. of the Missouri. Kansas
and Texas Railroad and the Chesa-
peake and Ohio. Mr.. Trumbull in
formed the President the effect of the
5 per cent rate increase decision of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
already had been felt by roads in the
territory affected. and that in addi-
tion to this roads throughout the
country generally seemed to be on the
upward trend. The effect of Mr.
Trumbulrs converse tion was to
strengthen the impression already
formed by the President as a result
of other information that the crisis
has been passed in the bad times
which have been upon the roads and
that a continued betterment is to be
anticipated.
The railroad president said he had
informed the President the described
improvements were coming slowly. but
he believed this was the most fortu-
nate way improvements could manifest
themselves at this time-slowly but
steadily and with continued upbuild-
ing OF confidence

1t became known yesterday that the
Democratic leaders OF the House intend

weeks to perfect plans for the orGaniza-
tlon Of the House in the event Congress

believes should be enacted at the earliest
possible date
Champ Clark will be renominated for
Speaker. and it is understood the other
onicers will be retained. The caucus will
select new Committee on WAYS ano
Means. which under the Democratic or
ganization is the one that chooses all the
other standing committees of the House
Present indications are that Representa-
tive Kitchin. Of North Carolina, will be
named chairman of the Committee on
Ways and Means, thus succeeding to the
floor leadership. now held by Representa-
tive Underwood. of Alabama
Republican leaders declare that il a
special session is called early in the year
an adjournment will not be reached until
some time in the fall They say there
is little or no prospect of the administra-
ton ship purchase bill being passed at
this time, and that if the measure is pre-
sented at a special session, it will be
fought from start to finish.

AIR ATTACK PROVES
U. S. NEED, HE SAYS
Aerial Defenses of This Country De-
6cient-Large Appropriations Neces-
sary, Representative Butler Asserts.

The need OF large appropriations fol
the upbuilding of the aerial defenses OF
the United States is emphasized by the
Zeppelin raid upon England Tuesday
night, according to Representative
Thomas S. Butler, of Pennsylvania, Re-
publican. member of the House Commit
tee on Naval Affairs.
THE United States is far behind the
times in the matter of military aircraft -
said the Representative yesterday '"The
warning nations of Europe are invading
every possible market of the world with
offers to purchase aerial craft for war
purposes. Daily reports from the war
zone tell of the important part being
played by aeronautics. In the face OF
these well-known facts, I do not think
the United States is doing as much for
the national defense in this direction as
II should.
The naval appropriation bill, now pend
In the House, contains an appropriation
of a lump sum of $780, 900 for aeronau-
tics. But even this sum, small as it is,
Is not all available for Strengthening the
navy's air fleet during the next fiscal
year. In fact, as I now understand, only
about one-third Of it can be used for that
purpose.
FOR years l have been advocating lib
eral appropriations for military aeronau-
tics. 1t is well understood among the
older members of the House that our
preparations for national defense have
not been sufficient We have continued
to make appropriations without any def
mite policy. To prepare for every emer-
gency means to adopt militarism and a
great increase in the material as well as
cOnscription. I am opposed to such prep
aratlons. I want to await the end of the
European war to see the effect OF the
attempt to limit armament An Oppor-
tunity will be offered then such as we
have never had during the Christian era.
But II no success comes from that effort
then the government must adopt some
definite policy which means increased
armament. I consider aircraft and sub
marines as absolutely necessary for de-
fensive purposes"
