WILL SUBMIT NEW
ARMY PLAN WHEN
CONGRESS CONVENES

Washington, Dec. 29.-1n an effort
to build up at once the national de.
fense. Secretary of War Garrison is
spending the week at his home in
New Jersey preparing means and
data to expedite the plan through
congress.
A resurvey Of the military situa.
ton Of the nation made but short
time ago, is said to have shown a
hopeless state of unpreparedness, is
declared to have determined the de.
partmnt to embark upon a campaign
for immediate action to build up de-
Tense. While universal service is ad-
mittedly the ultimate goal of the ad'
ministration plan, it is said this for
the present will take a secondary
place to measures designed to pro-
vide immediate defensive necessities
and outline definite military policy.
When congress reconvenes Tues
day. Secretary Garrison will be ready
to submit facts, figures and argu-
ments in support of the plan.
When the secretary left Washing.
ton, he took copies of every depart
mental reports and official docu-
ments, bearing on the problem. He
believes. it was asserted tonight, by
an official who has had much to do
with framing the plan that a correct
statement of the problem can lead

London. Dec. 29.-ln order to give
time for possible reconciliation OF
conflicting opinions OH the recruiting
uuestios. cabinet council which was
called for today has been further
postponed until Friday and there is
very great hope that it will then be
found that the cabinet is in practl-
cal agreement on the acceptance OF
Premier Asquith's proposals..
It has become known that the
prime minister found much greater
support than had been supposed
some of the an:i.conscriptionist min
listers having realized that peculiar
situation calls for exceptional treat
1nent. Among these are A. j. Bal
four. first lord of the admiralty
whose influence is very great, and
Arthur Henderson, who, however,
will be guided by the views of the
labor party.
Earl Kitchener. the war minister,
also has at last defended his opinion
that the time is ripe for compulsion.
Much depends now on the attitude of
Reginald McKenna. chacellor of the
exchequer, and Walter Runciman,
president of the board of trade, both
important members of the cabinet.
But there is tonight hopeful feel
ing that they may yet be induced to
support the premier in the interest
of ministerial unity.

N. w. LEAGUE
WILL FINISH
1915 SEASON

SEATTLE, July IL. -
Owners of all six clubs of the
Northwestern league met i'm
Seattle yesterday afternoon
and again decided to finish
the season, despite a poor
season. This action floors all
rumors that the circuit might
drop two clubs. Every club
in the league expects to dis
pose Of ut least one player to
a major league club this fall
and by this means recoup
losses.
Seattle turned over KILL
Hay, center fielder; Spokane,
Pitcher Ed Kelly, and Aber-
deem, Murphy to the vancou-
yer club, to strengthen the
Beavers because of the loss of
seven players a few weeks
ago. Brown will give Me-
Quarry to Aberdeen.
