Lincoln Post, G. A. R., and the Loyal
Legion will have charge of tho cere-

Maj. Reeve, who resided in this city
for many years, was prominent in of
fetal circles and had an interesting
war record. Directly after the close of
the civil war Maj. Reeve resided at
collector for the city, receiving a
unanimous vote of the people of that
place. He was nominated by the re-
publicans and Endorsed by the demo-
cratic party. and served as postmaster
in 1874, having been appointed at the
Came Here in 1875.
In 1875 Maj. Reeve came to this city
federal government During the time
he made many friends because Of his
kind and considerate treatment of those
who were employed In his division, and
his death Is mourned by them.
Maj Reeve enlisted in the army April

Company B, Sd New York Infantry;
was promoted to the rank of second
lieutenant a year later, and was made
captain September 80, 1864. He was

increase Of 10 900 trained coast artil-
lerymen and 900 officers to man the
coast defenses properly.
Third, an increase in our regular
mobile army of $4,000 troops and a
quadrupling Of the supply Of educated
military officers. We should also adopt
a reduced term of enlistment, with in
ducement to the formation of reserve

$150,000,O00 to $4,000 900 of a deficit
still to be provided for either by cut
ting down expenses or by addlt1onai
taxation"
Mr.. Taft suggested that expenses
could be cut down by giving authority
and responsibility to one body OF men
to consider the whole field of govern
ment income and expenditure:
A large sum. he said. would under
any circumstances have to be raised by
taxation. AS a republican, he said. ne
believed that change of pollcy TO
higher protective tariff would serve
most satisfactorily, but that he would
not urge it because:
Practical Suggestions, He Says.
"I am trying to make practical sug-
gestions and not partisan speech, and
be demanded of patriotic democratic
Congress, in view of the present i'm
perative need of increasing our ma
tional income and their anti-protection
views.
1.-The imposition of small tax on
small incomes asks a sacrifice from our
patriotic citizens that they will be will
ing to make If our politicians have the
courage to impose it and explain the
imperative necessity.
THE payment of tax, however small,
makes a man a better citizen. To as
sumo that the plain people are unwill-
ing to pay increased taxes in case of
national need is to distrust them and
to ascribe to them the lowest motive
for political action.
Let US exclude politics from the ques-
ton of preparedness. Let US accept the
cost. Let US insist that Congress and
the administration manifest the cour-
age to incur the odium of unthinking
and unpatriotic men. who would resent
contributing to such a cause. Let us
insist that the Congress and the admin
istration shall defer to the judgment
of real expert naval and army officers
and boards as to how we should pre-
pare, and shall not allow the danger
GUS little knowledge Of committee
ant of our needs, to obstruct the work
of proper national defense"

Urges Elimination of Politics.

After outlining the naval and military
preparations which he considered neces-
sary for this country to make, Mr.. Taft
estimated what the preparations would
cost. indicated how the money might be
raised, and made plea for the exclusion
of politics from the question of prepared
ness and for. the employment of expert
advice.
In summing up what he regarded as
necessary preparations, he said:
First. an increase of our navy tonnage
as rapidly possible by 80 per cent and
an immediate increase of the personnel
of the navy by nearly 10000 sailors and
900 officers.
Second, an increase in ammunition
for our great coast defense guns, the
making of few sixteen-inch guns and

at San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, September g.
William Howard Taft advocated pre-
paredness for war yesterday, illus
trated it's necessity and detailed the
means to that end in an address at the
Panama Pacific exposition, delivered at
Taft day" exercises.
In the ceremonies preceding the ad-
dress Mr.. Taft. who, while President of
the United States, broke ground for the
exposition four years ago, took in hand
the silver spade he used then and
planted a California redwood tree in

He reviewed portions of the United
States coast artillery at the Preside
of San Francisco, and later he address,

where they made their first public
appearance in company formation.

grateful remembrance of his unfalling
friendship and the fulfllment of his

Mr.. Taft's Address.
The acquiescence of Germany to the
United States contention for the rights
of non-combatant citizens on COM
mercial liners of belligerents should
be the cause of profound rejoicing by
every patriotic American and the oc-
casion for congratulation to the Pres
ident," said Mr.. Taft.
The very recent news from Wash
ington," the former President said,
Shows that the firm attitude of Pres
ident Wilson in maintaining the rights
of our non-combatant citizens on COM
mercial liners of belligerents to be
safe from drowning without warning
and an opportunity for rescue has been
acquiesced in by Germany.
This must and should be the cause
of profound rejoicing by every pa
triotic American and the occasion for
congratulation to the President.
at must relieve the strain between
the two countries. The shadow of a
serious breach passes.
1T should not. however. lead our people
away from their. duty Of reasonable
preparation. The incident, though closed.
as we all hope, except as to indemnity
for the lives Of those already drowned.
shows how near, as neutrals, we are to
the war. 1t shows that we must be care
full to insist upon our rights as such, that
we ought to be reasonably prepared to
defend against their invasion by any bel
ligerent powers"

Plans Made for Formation
of an Extra Reserve Force
Under the Navy Department

Plans have been prepared at the Navy
Department for the Organization of an
adequate naval reserve, in addition to
the existing naval militia and the regu-
lar reserve created by Congress at it's
latest session. The main feature of the
scheme is the mobilization of yachts
men and power boat owners and their
craft with navy reserve ships in
training SQUADRON
Under the present law. the coast
guard. which includes the old revenue
cutter and life-saving services. auto
matfca1ly passes under control of the
navy In time of war. 1t is proposed
that the lighthouse and the coast sur
vey service be added to that list. and
that state nautical training schools.
harbor police and similar state or city
services be prepared for national serv-
ice when needed.
Acting Secretary Roosevelt's Views.
1T Is believed" says Acting Secre-
tary Roosevelt. that the reserve of
personnel should total $4,000 officers
and men. What Is particularly desired
is not merely numbers. but individuals
who will he capable of doing the highly
specialized service which exists in mod
ern naVies. For instance. in war time
the navy would need the services of
possibly 1000 additional radio opera-
tors: IT would require local pilots for
inside waters, helmsmen. gunners, gas
oline motor experts. sienalmen. etc
besides. or course. first -class seamen
The department has had manv let
tiers asking whether an opportunity
could be given to individuals to take
courses of training In these snecla1ties
and II the general plan is approved, II
Is hoped that next summer courses OF
instructions can be started using re-
serve or other available ships. and piv-
ing TO those who desire three or Sour
weeks of training. so that thew could
become Of some definite use II called
upon.
