NEW COUNTRY CLUB
 AGITATION STARTED
Phillip corbin and ". T. sioper Pro-
 pose Building to Widen Social g Activities of Golf Club.

Jt+ 4 IT {. The erection of a $20,oOO building to replace the present structure o1 the New Britain Golf club at Maple Hill and the raising of the dues from
 $25 yearly to $40 yearly are proposed in a letter sent out last night by Phillip Corbin and William T. Sloper two members of the club.
 The new club, say the leaders in this movement, should contain large central room with hard wood floor for dancing and a large open fire place. Aslarge kitchen with pantries should be located in the rear of this room Locker rooms and shower baths for men should be located on one side and the same provision should be made for women on the other side. A wide roorny veranda is also essential, A heating plant would make the building available in the winter as we'll as the summer. The Golf club house which M. F. Plant has built as an adjunct to the Fort Griswold hotel at New London is model of what is wanted for New Britain
 Mir. Corbin and MT. Sloper know where $10,000 to $12,ooo in subscrip- tions can be obtained for new build ing and they want all the money rais- ed in this way. The $2,500 addition al revenue which would be had by raising the dues would be used for increased expenses and the improve ment of the golf course

CHOkES WOMAN AND
 S SENT TO JAIL
Andrew Ossga Also CelVclcd Of
 Steai.g suIt Of C.0lhss.

Convicted of stealing suit of clothes from Walter Mozenski of 56 Church street and also vf cruelty as- saulting Mrs. Victoria Mozenski of the same address, Andrew Ossga, of 131 Beaver street, was sent to jail for seven months by Judge James T. Meskill in police court this morning.
 Mrs. Mozenski showed many signs Of her recent beating when she took the witness stand ! Her face was puffed and bruised, her arms were tlack and blue and one rlnger was bandaged She declared that on Tuesday Ossaga came into her tene- rnent during her absence and let several parrots fly out ur their cages. He also broke open a trunk, she claimed. When she came into the room she said that Ossaga grabbed her and twisted a heavy strap about her neck, then dragged her into bath room where he choked and beat her. Had not the strap broken she would have been choked to death, she says.
 When the woman shrieked Tn her pain the intruder fled. Yesterday m orning at o'clock Officer James Skelley was sent out to look for him ard after long chase he found him on Lafayette street at o'clock in the afternoon. Much credit is due Officer Shelley for his clever worK.
 Ossga denied stealing the clothes, and when Sam Tarski, a pawnbroker, testified that he was the man who sold the suit to him he explained that ab bother man had given it to him. Cssga also denied assaulting Mrs Mozenski, blaming it upon the mythical stranger. Judge Meskil1 sent him to jail for thirty days on the theft count and for six months on the other.

Japan has a standing army of 400,-
600 men and every male Japanese is
taught to carry arms and that his high
est duty is to die for his country and
his Emperor. On her first expedition
she can transport 100000 men and
land them on our Pacific coast in As
days. Germany can mobilize trained
army of 100000 men in five days and
send 100000 of them across the water
in five days more.
Against these forces we have our
navy and approximately $4,000 men in
the United States Army. OF this num-
ber $4,000 belong to the cavalry, infan-
try or artillery regiments. This coun-
try has $4,000 men in the Philippines,
1000 in Alaska, Panama and other
countries, and 10000 occupy set posts
in coast artillery. This leaves approx
mately $4,000 men foot free to mobil-
ize at any point to head off an inva-
sion.
The National Guard of the various
states provide the only organized re-
serve that we have. These, when COM
bined, can provide a force of about
10000 men, more or less trained. To
put them In the field as an effective
fighting force would take from thirty
to sixty days In the present state of
their strength, instruction and equip
ment.
Almost all the average American
knows about our preparedness to with
stand foreign attack Is that we have
a very efficient navy lot of coast de-
fenses, an army and National Guard.
He is very prone to believe that all
that is needed Is the occasion and

arms, equipment, ammunition, or the
transport wagons and animals neces-
sary to put 250,000 men in the field

it would take five years to form an
army 100000 strong and get 1t ready
for the field.

People will argue and prove conclu-
siyely that war is wrong, and should
be abolished. They will tell you that
preparation for war only breeds de-
sire to fight. On the twentieth day of
the Balkan-Turko war, when it threat
ened to engulf Europe, the fact became
known that England's vast navy was
mobilized and ready to put to sea for
war. What was the result? Immedi-
ately the trouble breeders in Vienna al.
tered their tune and the spirit of war
that Was growing over Europe sank
away. England by being prepared for
war but wanting peace secured it with
out firing a shot. Germany's army
played the same role on land.
People will talk arbitration; but did
not the American people refuse to con-
clude arbitration treaties with England
and France in 1912 because we felt
that there were certain questions so
vital to us that we could not arbitrate
them?
Does not our, Monroe Doctrine keep
Germany from securing colonies or
spheres OF influence" in South Ameri-
ca? Has any European Power ever ac-
knowiedged our right to maintain the
Monroe Doctrine?
How then are we going to act should
any of the above questions become ur-
gent? Submit them to arbitration
when we know that the court is
against us on ground of self-interest?
