MERELY TRAINED SERVANTS"

I'VE soldiers and sailors are merely your train
ed servants" said General Wood to the Lake
Mohonk conference on international arbitration.
The statement is the simple truth. Be It said
to the honor, of the army and the navy of the Unit
ed States that the idea Of the superior importance
OF the military and naval man to the mere civilian
has never taken root either.
We have the unique distinction among great
nations of having military that is not militarism-
a navy whose officers and men regard themselves
in the same light that civil officials regard them
selves as servants of the great American people
called TO discharge special duty.
1t is this essential psychological fact which rem
ders il possible for the United States to 90 far as
reason and necessity suggests in the way Of nsurlns
the national defense without the slightest fear o
any of the unfortunate social consequences from
which Europe suffers.
Servants, not masters, are our soldiers an'
sailors but servants willing to give as full a meas
ure of devotion to the country as any product OF Eu
ropean militarism Chicago Herald.

SENATE ADDS $s,ooo, GOO
 TO THE NAVAL BILL
Votes For Sixteen Instead of Eleven
 Submarines.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Congress worked away steadily today and to- night on it's task of cleaning up sup ply bills which must be out of the way before adjournment on March 4. The senate passed the naval bill. S152. 100000, the fortihcatton bill $6, ,00O 900 and the diplomatic bill $420o,OO0 while the house spent the day in debating the general re1ciency measure, with interruptions now and then to dispose of conference reports.
 The senate added about $8. .00c, COG to the naval bill as it passed the house, providing in the two battleship con struction programme for five sea going 2 submarines instead of one, for 16 instead Of Il coast defence submarines, for gunboat and a hospital ship and adding $100O,000 for an armor plant and S500,000 for a projectile factory.
 Senator Shoot vainly sought to have authorized the construction of fifty ea-going and 25 coast submarines de- claring the mo man can tell when the European disturbance will involve this country in difficulties"
 This precipitated a general riscus- sion of the war, in which Senators Lewis of Illinois, Jones of Washington. Thomas of Colorado and Townsend of Michigan joined.
 The Notifications bill was passed without amendment, so it now goes to the president for his signature Some S250.000 was added to the dip- lomatic bill and paragraph calling on the president to collect from Cuba S6, 300 GOO the expense of the American army of pacif1cation in 1909, was stricken out on a point of order.

CLYDE SHIPBUILDERS
 REFUSE WAGE INCREASE
Government Has Ordered Employers and Employees Work Must Proceed.

London. Feb. 26, S.41 p. m.-while labor conferences were being held to- day to decide what action should be taken regarding the refusal of the Clyde shipbuilders to grant an increase of cents an hour in wages to the shipyard engineers, some of whom al- ready are on strike, the government made a dramatic move in sending a letter to both employers and workmen, ordering the resumption of work on Monday and promising that arrange ments would be made for the dispute to be referred to a court of arbitra- tion. The letter was signed by Sir George Rskwith, chief industrial con- missioner.
 Sir George pointed out that fin con- sequence of the delay in reaching a settlement the requirements of the nation were being seriously endangered and that h had been instructed by the government that important mu- nitions of war, urgently required by up by the present cessation of work and that they must call for a resump- tion of work on Monday morning March l." The court of arbitration which is to be convened will have power to fix the date from which a settlement shall take effect.
 Had the unrest been allowed to spread, one hundred thousand men would have been involved. The unions had not authorized the strike but the men already had refused the em- plOyers offer of a cent and a hall an hour increase and were about tC vote for an official strike. There has been some unrest among the dockerS and other workmen, but generally they have expressed satisfaction with the increase in dages to make up for the higher cost of living.

PRESIDENT OF RAILROAD
 GOT $45o,ooo TO RESIGN
L. P. Loree of the Rock Island and
 Pacific Railway.

Washington, Feb. 26.-L. F. Loree, chairman of the executive committees of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pa cif1c Railway company of the Frisco system for ten months in 1904, tes- tified before the Interstate Commerce Commission today in the investigation of the financial affairs of the Rock Island during the regime of the Reid Leeds Moore group in control of the railroad from 1901 to 1914.
 Mir Loree said that he had been guaranteed S50o,000 by Mir Leeds when he left the presidency of the Bal tinore and Ohio to take the new po- sitions. This was in addition to the annual salary of $37,500 which he re- ceived from the Rock Island and a similar sum from the Frisco. At the end of ten months MT. Reid asked him to resign, the witness said, saying that the directors faced the necessity of sustaining his actions and losing the services of several other officials, or of parting with his services. Mir Loree said he resigned on the spot and in settlement on his agreement with MT. Leeds, received $450, 600 in Rock Island railway bonds.

Strange Tale Of
 Illicit Passports
STEGLERS TRYING TO tMPLICATE
 GERMAN NAVAL ATTACHE.
IA THREATENING LETTER
StegIer Has Told the Federal Authori. ties That Captain 5oy- Ed Wanted Him to Act as Spy in England.

New York, Feb. 26.-Char1es H Grihths, attorney for Richard P. Stegler, the German naval reservist arrested here Wednesday on the charge of fraudulently obtaining an American passport, announced tonight that he would place in the hands of the federal authorities tomorrow an anonymous typewriter letter received by Mrs. Stegler, which would be com pared with letters alleged to have been written to Stegler by Captain K. Boy-Ed, naval attache Of the German embassy at Washington. Stegler, ac- cording to MT. Griffiths, has told the federal authorities that Captain Boy Ed wanted him to go to England as a. spy.
 Threatening Letter.
 The letter, which Captain Boy-Ed today denied having written or know ing anything about, read as follows:
 Reading today's New York Ameri- can, allow me to tell you that it is your fault that your husband has been arrested and will have to go to jail for many years and will always be looked at as a scoundrel. Accept the advice to keep your mouth shuit and do not open it before you at first consult a lawyer. Besides you put your country in a bad position because your case will only increase the ill-feeling of the Germans against the Americans and you know that a war with the Germans would be the greatest disaster for the Americans"
 Had Earmarks of Other Letters.
 MT. Griffiths said that both Mrs. Stegler and Stegler himself, to whom Tombs prison, had declared that cer- tain characteristics of the typewriter he showed. the letter today in the Tomos prison, had declared that cer- tain characteristics of the typewriting and other peculiarities resembled the letters Stegler had received from Captain Boy-Ed now in possession of the United States district attorney. The letter was mailed in New York yesterday and was addressed to Mrs Stegler at her home 25 St. Nicholas ] Terrace. MT. Griffiths said that "St 1 Nicholas" was spelled 'St. Nikolas'' | as in the letters sent by Captain Boy ! Ed and that it bore the stamp of the same postoffice station. He added that Mrs Stegler was called up nthe tel ephone last night by four persons who 1 advised her to make no efforts to get her husband out of prison.
 Denial by Captain Boy-Ed. This thing is too ridiculous to an 1 swer," said Captain Boy-Ed, when i asked today if he wrote the letter 1 All the letters that have gone out 1 of this office have been addressed by ] by stenogra pher and I suppose there must be thousands of typewriters like i the one she uses. I have been accused of so many. things that ! would not be surprised of they trie0 to fix the ] Rosenthal murder on me or the re- | sponsibility for the next subway ac- cident."
 Captain Boy-Ed strongly reiterated | his denial that he had anything to do with Stegler other than try to help him get a position.
