PRESIDENT WILSON APPROVES
First Years Naval Program Provides
for Wide Aetion-MiIitary
Plans Extensive.

Washington, Oct. 16.-The admin
istration program for national defense.
to be recommended to the forthcom.
ing session OF congress, proposing a
total expenditure on the army and
navy next year of about 100000. 900.
is practically completed.
Secretary Garrison's plan, approved
by the president, calls for an increase
of SIS, 100000 in the war departments
annual appropriation to be authorized
for augmenting the regular army to
100000 men and the creation Of new
continental army of 100000 men,
which together with the militia Of
5000. would give the United States
q military force in time of need of
665, 900.
After the conference between Sec.
rotary Daniels, Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt and the general board.
which adjourned at midnight, 1t be-
came known that the following naval
construction for the first of the five
years, had been decided upon.
Two dreadnoughts. two battle cruis-
ers, twenty-five coast submarines, five
sea-going submarines. twelve destroy
ers, an increase of 5000 in personnel
and an augmentation by $50 of the
naval academy student body.
Personnel Of Continental Army.
There are many hundreds of thou
sands of young men, 1t is said, who
have both the time and inclination to
devote at least two months year to
rigid and intensive military training
and the continental army would be
composed of these, leaving to the ma
tiona1 guard those citizens whose re-
sponsibilities prevent their devoting
more than one night week or 50 to
military service.
For the continental army, the plan
contemplates drawing from the nation
al guard and from educational institu-
lions where military training is COM
pulsory at lest 1000 officers a year
for each Of the first two years.
Eventually, It is hoped that all mil
itary schools in the country can be
standardized as to their courses In
engineering and other military scien.
ces. These courses would become q
speciality, 1t is believed, II given
number Of. ranking graduates each
year were assured Of commissions in
the continental army.
The six-year enlistment contract
would bind him to answer any call to
the colors regardless of any personal
affairs with which 1t might interfere.
While under training, the men of
the continental army would receive
the regular army pay.

ROURKES ARE EASY
FOR ISBELL'S MEN
Tom Blodgett and Franklin johnson
Are Hit at Will and Invaders
Win, Is to 5.
JOE BILLS MAKES FOUR HITS

George Mogridge. who is about the en-
tire Des Moines pitching staff. copped
another victory from Omaha yesterday
afternoon. It was q very frigid victory
and the 500 brave fans who took a
chance saw the Rourkes lose. IS to 5,
and almost froze to death In so doing.
Tom Blodgett started for Omaha and
lasted five rounds, during which time
the Boosters counted five runs and nine
hits. Franklin johnson was given the
job during the remaining four frames
and was nicked for eight runs and seven
hits.
Except for his wildness, which proved
fatal on almost every occasion, Mogridge
hurled a nice game. Not one OF the
Rourke runs was earned, but all came
through errors or walks
The Rourke defense was also quite
wobbly. five errors being committed at
crucial moments.
Bills the SIuERer.
Joe Bills. once of this city. was the
smuggling gent Of the Sabbath matinee.
He poled four blows and walked once in
five trips to the rubber, thus giving
him perfect average. One OF the hits
was. a circuit clout and two were dou-
bles. Joe also made a nice error to
complete his activities.
Dick. Breen was the best batsman for
. the Rourkes. Dicks batting eye came
back yesterday and he nicked Mogridge
for three hits. Breen's batting and the
fading of Thomson and Forsythe were
the only redeeming features Of the game.
Thomason and Forsythe both made two
swell running catches Of drives from the
bat Of Tex Jones, and Cy also con-
tributed nifty peg TO the plate to catch
Mogridge a city block. trying to count
on a hit
