REGULATIONS TO MEET
RAILROAD PROBLEM.
Needed to Make Lines More Useful
Servants of Country.

Needed to Make Lines More Useful
Servants of Country.
In the meantime may | make this
suggestion? The transportation prob
lem is an exceedingly serious and
pressing one In this country. There
has from time to time of late been rea-
son to fear that our railroads would
not much longer be able to cope with
it successfully, as at present equipped
and co-ordinated. l suggest that 1t
would be wise to provide for COM
mission Of inquiry to ascertain by
thorough canvass of the whole ques-
ton whether our laws as at present
framed and administered are as serv-
iceable as they might be in the solu-
ton of the problem. 1t is obviously
a problem that lies at the very foun-
dalton of our efficiency as a people.
Such an inquiry ought to draw out
every circumstance and opinion worth
considering. and we need to know
all sides of the matter If we mean to
do anything in the field Of federal leg
isation.
No one, am sure, would wish to
take any backward step. The regula-
ton of the railways of the country by
federal commission has had admirable
results and has fully justified the
hopes and expectations of those by
whom the policy Of regulation was
originally proposed. The question Is
not, What should we undo? 1t is
whether there is anything else we can
do that would supply US with effective
means. in the very process Of regu-
lation, for lettering the conditions I'M
der which the railroads are operated
and for making them more useful serv-
ants of the country as a whole. 1t
seems to me that 1t might be the part
of wisdom, therefore. before further
legislation In this field is attempted.
| to look at the whole problem Of co-or-
dination and efficiency in the full light
Of fresh assessment of circumstance
and opinion, as guide to dealing with
the several parts of it
For what we are seeking now, what
in my mind is the single thought of
this message, is national efficiency and
security. We serve great nation.

peculiar genius. 1t is the genius OF

that there are many millions of bonds

Recommends Early Adoption of Meas
urss Giving Thorn Fuller Justice.
The president recommends the early
adoption of bills for the alteration and
reform Of the government of the Phil
ippines and for rendering fuller polit-
ical justice to the people Of Porto Rico,
which were submitted to the Sixty
third congress. The president refers
to the increased cost of carrying out
the plans for the armed forces Of the
nation and tells of the fiscal problems
confronting the government
On the Both of June last there was
an available balance In the general
fund of the treasury Of $104, ITO, 105.7S.
The total estimated receipts for the
year 1916, on the assumption that the
emergency revenue measure passed by
the last congress will not be extended
beyond its present limit, the 31st of
December, 1915. and that the present
duty Of cent per pound on sugar will
be discontinued after the LIST of May,
1916, will be 70,365, 500. The balance
Of June last and these estimated rev.
enues come therefore to a grand total
of 774,5356O5.7s. The total estimated
disbursements for the present fiscal
year. including twenty-five millions for
the Panama canal, twelve millions for
probable deficiency appropriations and
$5O, 900 for miscellaneous debt redemp-
lions, will be $753, S91 900, and the bal,
ance in the general fund of the treas
ury will be reduced to $2O,644 ,605.7S

would produce during the half year
then remaining about forty-one mil

during the two months Of the fiscal
year remaining after the LIST of May
about fifteen millions. These two sums
amounting together to fifty-six mil

LEGEND OF THE ROBIN.
Indian Story of How the Brave Bird
Got Its Red Breast.

Got Its Red Breast.
When white men first came far
across the sea to this country they
found many birds such as they had
never seen before. But they found one
which they liked best of all. 1t had a
pretty red breast, and they called 1t
robin. for its red breast made them
think of bird back in the old home
which they loved most of all.
The Indians had a story about how
the robin got its red breast. They said
it happened a long time ago, when
there was only one fire in all the cold
far north.
A hunter and his son kept the fire
burning day and night until the father
fell i'll, and the son had to watch the
fire all alone. The great white bear
was waiting for chance to put the
fire out so he could have all the north
to himself. He saw the boy fall asleep;
then he jumped ON the fire with his
wet feet and put 1t out.
But gray robin saw him, and when
he was gone she pecked about in the
ashes till she found tiny live coal
She famed it with her wings until il
blazed out and turned her breast red
Then she flew away to every hut in
the cold north Wherever she touched
the ground fire sprang up. and soor
there were plenty of fires to keep the
people warm. After that the robins
breast was always red instead Of gray

be properly scrutinized and discussed
They seem to me the essential FIRST
present sufficient.
They contemplate an increase of the
standing force of the regular army
from its present strength of 5,O23 Off

services to strength Of 7.136 officers
and 134,707 enlisted men. or al .S43

the addition of fifty-two companies of
coast artillery. fifteen companies Of en-
gineers, ten regiments Of infantry, four
regiments Of field artillery and four
aero squadrons. besides 750 officers re-
quired for a great variety of extra
service. especially the all important
duty Of training the citizen force of
which shall presently speak. 792 non
commissioned officers for service In
drill. recruiting and the like and the
necessary quota Of enlisted men for
the quartermaster corps, the hospital
corps, the ordnance department and
other similar auxiliary services. These
are the additions necessary to render
the army adequate for its present du-
ties, duties which 1t has to perform
not only upon our own continental
coasts and borders and at our interior
army posts, but also in the Philippines,
In the Hawaiian Islands, at the 18TH
mus and in Porto Rico.
By way of making the country ready
to assert some part Of its real power
promptly and upon larger scale
should occasion arise the plan also
contemplates supplementing the army
by a force Of 100000 disciplined citi-
zens, raised in increments Of $4,000 a
year throughout a period of three
years. This it is proposed to do by a
process of enlistment under which the
serviceable men of the country would
be asked to bind themselves to serve
with the colors for purposes of train
ing for short periods throughout three
years and to come to the colors at call
at any time throughout an additional
''furlough" period Of three years. This
force of 100000 men would be pro
vided with personal accouterments as
fast as enlisted and their equipment
for the field made ready to be supplied
at any time. They would be assem-
bled for training at stated intervals al
convenient places in association with
suitable units Of the regular army
Their period of annual training would
not necessarily exceed two months IN
the year.
The president says it is up to the
patriotic young men of the country te
respond to this call.

But armies and instruments Of war
are only part of what has to be con-
stdered If we are to consider the su-
preme matter of national self sufficien-
cy and security in all its aspects.
There are other great matters which
will be thrust upon our attention
whether we will or not. There is, for
example, very pressing question of
trade and shipping involved In this
great problem of national adequacy.
1t is necessary for many weighty rea-
sons of national efficiency and devel-
opment that we should have a great
merchant marine. The great merchant
fleet we once used to make us rich,
that great body Of sturdy sailors who
used to carry our flag into every sea,
and who were the pride and often the
bulwark Of the nation, we have almost
driven out of existence by inexcusable
neglect and Indifference and by hope
lessly blind and provincial policy Of
SO called economic protection. 1t is
high time we repaired our mistake and
resumed our commercial independence
on the seas.
With view to meeting these press
ing necessities of our commerce and

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
FOR GREATER NAVY.
Always Looked to It az Our First and
Chief Line of Defense.

The program which will be laid be-
fore you by the secretary Of the navy
is similarly conceived. 1t involves only
a shortening of the time within which
plans long matured shall be carried
out. but 1t does make definite and ex-
plicit a program which has heretofore
been only implicit, held in the minds OF
the committees on naval affairs and
disclosed In the debates Of the two
houses, but nowhere formulated or for
mally adopted. 1t seems to me very
clear that 1t will be to the advantage
of the country for the congress to adopt
a comprehensive plan for putting the
navy upon final footing Of strength
and efficiency and to press that plan
to completion within the next five
years. We have always looked to the
navy of the country as our first and
chief line of defense; we have always
seen it to be our manifest course OF
prudence to be strong on the seas.
Year by year we have been creating
navy which now ranks very high In
deed among the navies of the maritime
nations. We should now definitely de-
termine how we shall complete what
we have begun and how soon.
The program to be laid before you
contemplates the construction within
Eve years of ten battleshlps. six battle
cruisers, ten scout cruisers, fifty de
stroyers, fifteen feet submarines.
eighty five coast submarines, four gun
boats, one hospital ship, two ammuni-
ton ships. two fuel Oil ships and one
repair ship 1t is proposed that of this
number we shall the first year provide
for the construction of two battleships.
two battle cruisers. three scout cruisers.
fifteen destroyers. FIVE feet submarines,
twenty-five coast submarines, two gun.
boats and one hospital ship: the second
year two battleships, one scout cruiser
ten destroyers. four fleet submarines
fifteen coast submarines, one gunboat
and one fuel oil ship; the third year
two battleships. one battle cruiser, two
scout cruisers FIVE destroyers, two feel
submarines and fifteen coast subma
rines; the fourth year two battleships
two battle cruisers, two scout cruisers
ten destroyers. two fleet submarines
fifteen coast submarines. one ammuni
ton ship and one fuel oil ship, an(
the fifth year two battleships, one bat
tie cruiser, two scout cruisers. ten de
stroyers, two feet submarines, ifteer
coast submarines, one gunboat. one am
munition ship and one repair ship.
The secretary Of the navy is asking
also for the immediate addition to tn
personnel of the navy of 1880 sailors
$500 apprentice seamen and 1900 ma
rines. This increase would be stuff
cient to care for the ships which ar
to be completed within the fiscal yea
1917 and also for the number of me
which must be put in training to ma
the ships which will be complete
early In 1918. 1t is also necessary tina
the number of midshipmen at the NJ
val academy at Annapolis should b
increased by at least 300 in order tina
the force of officers should be NOR
rapidly added to, and authority is ash
ed to appoint, for engineering dutie
only, approved graduates of engines
