those of former President Taft. Samuel
Gompers and John Mitchell. 1t IS, OF
course. impossible that Secretary Car

were asked. and if he desired General
Wood 10 notify US in advance what we
were expected to say or leave unsald. 1t

until Yesterday General Wood had no
more idea than Secretary Garrison
what | was going to say. In the speech
not only did never mention the Presi-

ministration. spoke purely OF the
nation, of the people OF the United
States.
~ spoke on the assumption that the
men who paid their expenses IN order
to 70 10 this camp were citizens deeply
interested in the welfare OF their coun-
try. men who know that the greatest
value of this camp lies not in the
months training to each of the TO
or three thousand college students ana
business men. but in the object lesson
afforded in teaching our people what
this nation should do fer all her sons
by teaching them in time of peace now
TO do their duty by the nation IN time
of war.
"If the administration had displayed
one-tenth the spirit and energy IN hold

of this country.
General Wood issued orders that at,
tendance at my speech was not required
of anv man. that it was optional TO
come or not. orders which at once es-
tablished the fact that he had no re-
sponsibility for the speech. IL was
delivered outside the line OF tents ano

Wants u. S. Navy All
Submarines and Mines

Washington, Aug. 26.-Taking the
stand that the United States in the
event of war would only have to pro-
tect her coast, Representative Claude
Kitchin. of North Carolina, declared to-
day that he favored spending millions
for submarines and mines, but very
little for the army and nothing Tor
battleships
Mr.. Kitchin, who succeeds Oscar '"
Underwood as floor leader and chair
man of the Ways and Means Commit
tee. said he would fight vigorously a
big navy and army propaganda. The
cost of one dreadnought, or $20,OOO,OOO,
he said, expended in submarines and
mines would amply protect the coasts
of the country.
after this war no European nation
will be in a position to fight u.s." re
said. THE protection of our coasts is
all that is necessary, and it won't take
any $5O,OOO,OO0 or slOO,OOC'OOC to in
sure that protection"
This declaration Of Mr. Kitchir
came as a surF-ise to friends of the
administration, especially in view Of the
high position which the North Carolina
man holds 10 Congress- Wonder was
expressed if this foreshadowed break
with the administration. although the
President has never indicated just what
line he thought the preparations for
national defence ought to be. In his
last speech before Congress, in which
he alluded 10 the statements OF Con
gresham Gardner, President Wilson
expressed approval of having plenty OF
battleships, but said no one could tell
what kind of ships TO build, or what
kind would not become obsol ete imme-
diately after being launched.
On the army issue it is regarded as
almost certain that the floor leader
will be at odds with the President, Mr..
Wilson having called on Secretary Gar

TURKEY SAFE
FROM BULGARIA
Treaty Between the COun-
tries To Be Signed, Is
Report from Berlin.
BY GORDON GORDON-SMITH.
[Rr Cahle TO The Tnbune.l

Zurich, Aug. ga great sensation
has been caused by dispatches from
Berlin saying that the Bulgarian Min
lister had informed the correspondent
of the National Zeitung" that Bull
garia had concluded a treaty with
Turkey. The Sofia correspondent of
the "Vossische zeitung" telegraphed
that the treaty would be signed in
Constantinople on Friday.
BY this treaty Bulgaria agrees TO
abandon her claims on Kirk Kilisse,
receiving in return Karagatch and GER
tain territory along both banks of the
Martha. The new Turkish frontier
will therefore run along the Tandcha
River to where it runs into the Ma
rita, then from Kuleli Bulgas, or Di
motika, to a point about ten kilometres
east of the Martha.
The National Zeitung" publishes
an interview with a neutral Balkan
diplomat, supposed to be NJ. ReZof,
Bulgarian Foreign Minister. The lat
ter declared the diplomatic pressure of
the Quadruple Entente had reached its
highest point and would be unsuccess-
full.
If this interview, as generally be-
lieved, was given by the Bulgarian
Minister, it will excite no surprise, as
he is known to be intensely pro-Ger-
man. When Minister at Rome before
the war with Austria Rezof made such
propaganda for Germany that he was
regarded as a kind of understudy for
Prince Won Buelow. In fact, he was so
compromised that when the German
and Austrian Ambassadors left Rome
he had to be transferred to another
post and was sent to Berlin. The ut
terances by him are intended to aid
the German cause by causing a distrust
of the Balkan States among the Allies
and may be part of German eleventh
hour bluff intended TO confuse the
issue.
Washington, Aug. 26.-Unofficial ad-
vices to representatives OF the Balkan
nations here say Bulgaria has signed
an agreement with Turkey which in
cludes the provision that she remain
neutral and that the attempt TO form
a Balkan league has failed.
News of the formation of the new
Cabinet by Minister Venizelos reached
the Greek Legation to-day. 1t is said
here that the demands of the Allies
on Greece were unsatisfactory and
that the Hellenic government Will an
nounce its intention of remaining neu-
trial, for the present at least.

the people at large what the nation

The former President was chiefly
concerned in contemplating the effect

War Revenue Bill Again.


Senator Simmons was asked in view
of the daily decrease in the net balance
on hand at the Treasury Department.
and the growing deficiency, what ad-
ditional sources of revenue would be
availed of by the next Congress. Sen
ator Simmons shaped the present tariff
bill in the Senate, as chairman of the
Finance Committee and also the war
revenue tax bill.
Probably the war revenue bill will
have to be re-enacted at the opening
Of Congress" he replied, land very
creases in il. There was strenuous OPP
position before il was passed to the in
clusion of a number of articles which
ought to have gone into 1t, and these
will probably be included next time.
However, | am not anticipating any
trouble about revenues. The income
taxes on corporations and individuals
will probably bring IN a much greater
sum, many millions greater, than they
Welded this year. This will be caused
by the fact that The country is much
more prosperous now than ii was a
year ago. The enormous earnings of
many corporations working on war or
ders will help to swell corporate in
comes ana therefore corporation taxes,
while. due to the rapid disappearance
Of the unemployment problem, the
earnings of ordinary corporations Will
be vastly increased.
"Then the revenues from liquor and
tobacco are coming in very satisfactory
". as well as other forms of revenue.
Only the customs receipts are tagging,
and these | fear will continue low.
"But all through the country pros

while due to the European situation we
will have TO take low prices for cot

late, still we raised this crop more
cheaply than has been the case for
years. We used less fertilizer and due
to the dry spring the cultivation was
less difficult and required less labor.
eve will probably have to take a
lower price for our tobacco this year,
too. but not as low as last year, and
there again we raised the crop more

anywhere for the calamity howlers.'
