Will Meet Needs Of the Country.

Washington, Nov. S.-Here are the

This is to be called the Continental

Acquisition of reserve material, in
cluding ordnance and other supplies,
to cost $104,326,261, and purchased
within four years, by an annual ex-
penditure of $26,0S1, 1920.
Development of seacoast fortifica-
tions to cost $S1, ,677 900, the annual
expenditure being $20,O00,000 a year
for four years.
TIC OA6ll1lAokAOh Va oAA INV
resources Of the nation in trained
civilians, including engineers, bridge
builders, railroad men, etc., to aid
the army in time of war.
The military policy proposed by Mr..
Garrison calls for a total appropria'
tion of $1,O34, 1896, ,234.sS by congress
during the next five years under the
heading Of the army. 1t will make a
total of over $4,000, 100000 called for
by the national defense plans for
the next five years for both army
and navy.
If congress adopts the administra-
tion's program the following new Or
ganizations will be added to the
army:
Ten regiments of infantry.
Four regiments of field artillery.
Fifty-two companies of coast artil-
lery.
Fifteen companies of engineers.
Four aero squadrons.
Mr.. Garrison declares that the pol
icy determined upon is one which rec
ognizes existing constitutional and le-
gal provisions, existing institutions
and the sentiments of the people in so
far as they concern the vital portions
of the system He believes the plan
presented is one which has the least
objections and which will meet the
needs of the country.
1T has been proposed" Mr.. Garri-
sons statement says, ito make avail
able in time Of need the services of
those in certain kinds of employment
requiring special knowledge and skill,
such as railroad men, bridge builders,
engineers of all descriptions, etc, and
leading men in these lines and pro-
fessions have been collaborating with
the war department in an endeavor
to formulate, by legislative or admin
istrative action, an acceptable and
useful plan with respect thereto.
I'm this connection, and because Of
the patriotic spirit thus displayed, 1t
seems desirable to say that if those
who are the employers of the young
men of the country cannot by reason
of age or situation in life give their
personal service, they can do that
which will be equally useful by en-
couraging in every way the participa-
tion of those in their employ in the
plan of national defense"

U. S. ENVOY TO RETURN
BRAND WHITLocK, MINISTER TO
BELGIUM, COMING HOME.
III Health Is Assigned as Reason
Was Active In CaVeIl Case-i1it
by German Press.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Brand Whit
lock, United States minister to Bel
GUM, is returning home. This an
nouncement was made here on
Wednesday.
The reason given for Whitlock's re-
turn is i'll health. His physician, 1t
was stated, has advised him that he
would be unable to regain his health
If he persisted in his strenuous du-
ties at Brussels.
Although 1t has been known for
some time that Minister Whitlock has
been in i'll health, the announcement
that he was returning at this time
caused a sensation.
The fact that German newspapers
have criticized in the most severe
terms Whitlock's activities in behalf
of Edith Cavell, the nurse spy, whom
he tried to save from execution, some
even demanding that his recall be
asked, aroused considerable specula'
ton.
That he has been summoned home
by the state department after Ger
many had protested against the max
ing public of his account of the Cavell
execution, was the belief in some
quarters.
He indirectly charged breach of
diplomatic confidence against the Brit
ish foreign Office for making public
the report from Secretary Gibson OF
the American legation at. Brussels.
Whitlock in his report said that the
publicity caused him serious embar-
rassment with the Germans.
At the time Miss Cavell was SEN
fenced to death, Whitlock was con-
fined to his bed, but made an effort
to save her by using his secretary and
securing the aid of the Spanish min
lister.

When men and women die, and are

then the rule is: Speak no evil of

German AUidfOrS
Continue Activities

LONDON, Jan. l3.-Aerial activity
continues TO be the chief feature OF
the reports from the lighting front In
France and Belgium. German, aviators
are particularly active. in the north.
They pay daily visits TO Dunkirk and
the towns In that vicinity, and drop
bombs promiscuously. AS a result a
number of civilians are known to have
been killed. The rigid censorship
makes il impossible to obtain details.
The Germans are known TO have
established Zeppelin and aeroplane
base at point on the-eutskirts of
Client. They have taken extraordi-
nary precautions to protect their
hangers which are reported OF a new
construction with nets 40 placed that
explosive bombs dropped by hostile
aviators will be diverted and the
sheds and their contents saved.
II Is believed certain that the first
big attempted Zeppelin movement will
be from this base AS result extra
ordinary precautions have been taken
both here and in Paris to meet II
when IL comes. The lights of both
cities have been greatly dimmed while
details or airmen with armored planes
mounting rapid-firers are stationed at
strategic positions.

bly, met, half dozen armored French

Mayor Marx is still OF the opinion
that the interests of the city can be
better served by extending the term
OF elective officers from two to four
years. The people failed TO ratify a
charter amendment TO this effect In
the fall election. but the mayor said
il was his belief that the wording on

feat, and suggested that the PROPOSE
ton be submitted again In the spring
election with a sane and workable re-
call attached as safeguard. Ere
