MARTIN ION
PREP PAREDNEsS
Senior Virginia Senator
Strong Advocate of
Coast Defenses
FORT AT CAPE HENRY
Naval Experts Say Hostile Flee!
Could Now Push Into Virginia
Capes and Go North

Richmond, Oct. 12.-- United States
Senator Thomas S. Martin, who az.
rived in the city last night to attend
the unveiling of the Tyler monument
this afternoon, expressed himself IL
favor of ample coast defense at Cape
Henry as the most important step IN
preparedness" on the part of the
United States.
The Senator would rot discuss tt
what extent he would indorse 'pre,
paredness' during the next session @!
Congress, but asserted that he was
not in the least inclined to hysteric!
over the danger of the United State:
being plunged into war with any for
e;gn power. He made it plain, how
ever, that he considered coast defenses
particularly those at the Virginia
capes, almost imperative. He had
urged appropriations for this purpose
for years and he hopes to see Cong
ress accept his views.
A hostile fleet. unnampcred by :;
sufficient naval force, would have nt
trouble in passing the Virginia Cape.
and being at the gates Of Washingto'
or Baltimore, within two weeks, tho
Senator said he had been informed
by naval experts, He thought it OF
the utmost importance that steps
should be taken to safeguard the ap.
uroacn to the National Capital WIZ
its navy yard. as well as Phllade!-
phia with its navy yard, and private
shipbuilding plants, as well as the
city of Baltimore with its wealthy
environments.
Senator Martin is not in favor OF
a large standing army, but believes
in more h;Srty support for the Ma,
tional Guard of the country from
the Federal government. To MAINTAIN
a large standing army would enta!
so great burden on the taxpayer,
that it would not meet with approva
while to provide for volunteer force
for emergencies would cost a great
deal less, and at the same time an
swer the purpose.
He declared himself in favor of ar
adequate navy, ard for the improve,
ment of the field artillery branch o.
the United States Army, which he
considers inadequate.
In addition, the Senator is Of the
opinion that there should be more op
portunities for training officers TO
both the army and navy by increas
ing the number of cadets at Wes
Point and Annapolis, as well as pro
viding for the training of competen
young men in other institutions as
reserve force of officers.

PREDICTS A SEVERE WINTER
Rev French Meteorologist. Says IL
Will be Like That of 1901.

In view of the near approach OF the
winter season and the effect It's com
ing will have on the military cam
naigns. interest has been aroused oy
the prediction of Augustin Rey, the
naturalist and meteorologlst, that the
winter will be an exceptionally sew
ere one.
NJ. Rey, has communicated to the
French Government, the reasons on
which he bases his opinion. He points
first to the premature snowfalls IN
the Alps. which began early and reach
ed to low attitudes, and to the be-
hayior of vegetation, such as the fact
that the beeches began to lose their
leaves in August, while heather bios
SONS have contracted at the base Oh
the stem, which he states IS an IN
dication of an early and hard WIN
ter. Animals, too, says the mountain
eer naturalist, have begun to prepare
for the winter, field mice having dug
themselves in at the heights of 1,O0O
wards as early as August 20, instead
of late September, or early in Oc-
tober, as ordinarily. Birds, too, have
been migrating in aGvance Of the or
dinary season.
"My conclusion" says the natur-
alist, "is that the winter Of 1915-1G,
by its earliness, length and the low
temperatures it will bring, will re-
semble the winter of 1S70-7l.' The
latter winter has been remembered
for it's extreme rigor.

evening, at which there was only .
small party, including the Secretary

,;kelv that the wedding Of the Presl-
