HARD WINTER PREDICTED.
Britain Takes STEPS to PrOpcrI,
Care for Troops.

LoNDoN. oct. 26.-At the request ~
the army authorities, IA Government me
teorologist has drawn up "a forecast Of
the weather for this coming winter. ac-
cording to the Paris correspondent of the
ran NdH Gds'tte, in which he propllr-
sics that the season viii be the worst
ever known.
The meteorological visited the Alps
and obtained the views of experienced
mountaineers. The latter told him that
the Alpine field mice, instead of burrow-
ing some ten or twelve inches. as usual,
in order TO pass the winter comfortably,
have gone down fully three feet. Trees
and plants point to the same conclusion,
the ash aud heather being particularly
emphatic in their weather signals.
The army authorities already have
acted on this advice In preparations for
clothing the troops during the cold
months.

COULD NOT DEFEND NEW YORK
Congressman Gardner Tells House
Military Body More About
the Army and Navy.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Representativ
Gardner, urgingthis proposal to inves-
ttgate the military preparedness of
the nation, told the house military
committee yesterday that the entire
field army-militia. regulars and all
--of the United States would just
about garrison Paris, and the United
States today owns little more than
half Of the number of guns Russia had
at the battle of Mukden."
Mr. Gardner had a series of lively
passages with members of the COM
mittee. which he. arraigned for not
'summoning Major General Wood and
Brigadier General Crozier to get their
views on preparedness.
He quoted figures at length to show
that the combined force of regulars
and national guardsmen would fern a
battle line siXty-five miles long,. two
thirds OF the way around Greater New
York, and that, compared with Euro
pean nations, the equipment of field
guns Of the United States army was
negligible.
Mr.. Gardner said he understood
confidential report at the war depart
ment from one of the observers In
Europe said some of the French field
guns shot 800 or GOO rounds a day.
Eight American field guns, he said,
could shoot away ammunition as fast
as government arsenals could make
It.
Secretary Garrison, he said, had d.
rected army officers not to volunteer
any statements and that he doubtless
was ACTIN in sympathy with "the
White House IDEAS"

peace of righteousness.
This means that they shall by sol.

That they shall agree that all other
questions arising between them shall
