SAYS DIR. BROUGHTON
German Philosophy Called
Failure-War to Bring Men
Back to Christ.

A notable wal sermon was preached
the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church
yesterday afternoon. He was pastor OF
Christ Church, London. during the nrst
part Of the war and many of his prin-
cipal laymen were prominent In British
affairs.
II hate war. but we are in the midst

world wiser and better in the days to

TO bring blessing out Of even this awful
arnage. For years the leading Ger
nan philosophers have taught the world
that there is no revelation apart from
reason that the Bible contains the word
OF God. but that 1t is not the word
OF ,iod-that whatever In the Bible runs
contrary to reason runs contrary to
revelation that reason is supreme and
has the right to cut the Bible to pieces.

DEFENCES MUST Be
NEARLY DOUBLED
Naval Board and Army Staff
Prepare to Ask Millions
Of Congress.
BIG RESERVES PLANNED

WAsHiNuroN, july l5.-What the
country may expect to be recommended
for increase of the military and naval
Establishments at the coming session OF
Congress has been clearly indicated In
the discussion Of the last ten months
about the defects OF the national de-
fence.
The General Board will undoubtedly
ask FOR four battleships. That is what
II asked for last year when II reported
tleships OF the programme laid out In
1903. Secretary Daniels cut the recon-
m~endation in half, but IL has been the
boards policy to adhere to its own pro-
m as far as seemed reasonable
regardless of what Secretaries have APP
proved or Congress has granted.
For the nrst time battle cruisers prob
ably will be included. There is division
OF opinion about the value of battle
cruisers. the majority of American naval
experts c~ontending that for the United
States a large fleet OF dreadnoughts OF
approximately Identical capabilities In
speed and strength Is better than a fleet
OF VARYING capacities. Secretary Dam
iels favors battle cruisers. however. and
many officers think they have proved
OF great value In the European war.
Scout cruisers will be recommended
probably four. This type OF vessel
has been wholly neglected In the navy
in recent years.

This plan must include "A provision for

also have to be provided for the regu-
lar army, ont only to command the
probable 100 per cent. increases in the
existing arms OF the service. but also
TO provide instructors to direct the con-
templated scheme for building a reserve.
There will also be heavy increases in

Submarines will be asked for in con-
siderable number-twenty is a conser-

The navy is extremely deficient in
