WILSON ENDORSES
AIR PATROL PLAN
Approves Movement to Guard
Coast of Maine by Aero
plane Fleet.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Approval was
given by President Wilson tonight to
a movement started in Portland, Me-,
for the establishment OF a system of
aerial coast patrols along the coast
lines of the United States. The move
ment has been started by private per-
sons who propose TO place their services
at the disposal Of the Federal govern
ment In time Of war.
The President was Informed by the
Portland Chamber of Commerce that 1t
had appointed a committee represent
ing the cities Of Portland. Bangor,
Waterville, Augusta, Brunswick. Bath
and Lewiston, to raise $4,000 to pur-
chase hydro-aeroplane and the coup
ment of an aerial coast patrol TO cover
the coast from Portsmouth to the
mouth OF the Penobscot River. IL was
suggested that such patrol was es-
sential for national defence, and that
the step taken in Maine might serve
20 encourage similar action by other
states. through which the entire coast
line would be protected
The President sent the Following
telegram TO the president OF the fort-
land chamber:
az join with the Secretary OF war
and the Secretary Of the Navy In reel
ing very great interest IN the de-
veiopment of the aeroplane service In
this country and in hoping that your
citizens will meet with entire success
in their interesting undertaking.

Lieutenant J. o. Fisher, who was the
first commander Of the K-6, q sister ship
Of the K-2, was called as a witness in

tilted that the Ks, which was also IN

Taft Opposes Plans
for Big Standing Army

Boston, Nov. 5.-EX-President Will
lam II. Taft declined to make speech
on national preparedness this afternoon
nj the luncheon given In his honor at
tho City Club, but he did say that he
did not favor a large standing army,
as he believed Il would result in con-
scription. and plainly intimsted HIS OF,
position to the defence plans framed
by President Wilson.
I'VE are not justified In rushing into
militarlsm." Mr.. Taft declared. The
spirit of the people is certainly, at
variance with the spirit OF militarism.
The financial condition OF the govern
ment will not permit the raising OF a
largo army. You can't have any mill
tary policy that docs not make for
large standing army.
"The navy is not q militaristic In
strument, but is necessary for defence.
A standing army Is an instrument for
aggression. We cannot have large
army without conscription. We are
having all we can do to-day to raise
10000 men In our own army. II you
are going TO induce men TO 20 into the
army in time of peace you'll have to
double the pay"

STATE HAD LESSON
ON UNDERWOOD BILL
Manufacturers Suffered Before
European Conflict Began, As

Edward A. Thurston, chairman OF the
Republican State Committee OF Massa-
chusetts, arrived at the Waldorf-As-
toria yesterday to rest after the ener-
waiting work OF campaigning for Gov
ernor-elect Samuel W. Mccall and said
that the fight in McCall's behalf had
had the tariff as its main issue.
"The attitude Of the administration
with regard to the war did not enter
into the fight in Massachusetts," said
Mr.. Thurston. "If there was any Ger
man vote out against Walsh on account
Of Wilson II was not so announced.
"You see, in Massachusetts, we had
our lesson on the Underwood bill and
its destructive effects before the war
began. Our textile manufacturers had

cheap foreign material upon our mar
ket, and whatever prosperity the war
has been able to bring into the state,

Those Of our industries that have not
been affected by the demand for war
materials offer striking testimony to
the damage wrought by the present
tariff system.
at is significant that wherever a
tariff argument was used by Senator
William Alden Smith, of Michigan,
Congressman Philip p Campbell, of
Kansas, and other national statesmen
who took part in the campaign in Mas

The battleship Arkansas. flagship OF
Vice-Admiral Henry T. Mayo, second In
command Of the North Atlantic fleet,

day. Repairs on the vessel were COM

and the engine trouble that developed

Il was said yesterday that the bat
tleship Florida would remain at the

the other ships Of the frst line. the
Florida was to have left the early part
of the month, but it was found that
repairs would have to be made. The

party in the country, and he has no way
of knowing, until he hears from the
people, whether he has correctly in
terpreted the will of the public. His
appeal is not 20 any party, but, as he
says, 10 men of all shades of opinion.
He asks for the hearty support of the
country. meaning. of course. that he
wants the support, provided the people
favor the policy which he has out
lined. He could not, Of course, ask
them 10 support a policy which they
did not indorse, especially II they con-
sidered the policy dangerous to the
country.
From my view Of the subject. the
plan which he proposes is not only h
departure from our traditions, but q
reversal of our national policy. 1t is
not only menace TO our peace and
safety. but challenge TO the spirit of
Christianity, which teaches us to in
fuence others by example rather than
by exciting fear.
"The President says that we should
be prepared not for aggression but for
defence That is the ground upon
which all preparation for war is made.
Wat nation has ever prepared for war
on the theory that IL was preparing for
aggression? II is only fair 10 assume
that the European rulers who are in
volyed in the present war thought that
they were contributing toward the
maintenance of peace when they were
making elaborate Preparations for de-
fence.
at is a false philosophy. and, being
false, il inevitably leads into difficult
ties. The spirit that makes the indi-
vidual carry revolver and who ever
carries revolver except for defence
leads him not only TO use il on slight
provocation, but TO use language which
provokes trouble. Speak softly. but
carry big stick Is one of the ielu-
sive maxims employed by those who
put their faith in force.
Two Answers, He Says.
There are two answers TO it-hrst

disposition 10 carry club, and II =
man with soft voice is persuaded q

as he begins 10 rely upon the club.

Secretary Calls on Employers to

Washington. Nov. 6--Secretsry OF
War Garrison Issued to-day an official
explanation Of his army reorganization
plan, which provides for raising within
six years a trained force Of more than
100000 men. and for an adequate re-
serve Of munitions and supplies.
The Secretary admits that the scheme
is not all that could be desired from
technical and military standpoint. but
he defends Il on the ground that il IS
all that can be done in view Of existing
constitutional and legal provisions, ey-
listing institutions, and the sentiments
Of the people"
The continental, or citizen army, as
Secretary Garrison prefers to call it, $
devised because the militia is not con-
additionally under the direction Of the
Federal government and cannot be
drafted into service in time OF war.
Secretary Garrison accepts the esti-
mates Of army experts who believe the
United States should have at all times
force Of at least 100000 trained men
available for immediate service.
The citizen army, under Secretary
Garrison's plan, will ultimately consist
Of 400, 900 reserves who have had three
annual training periods Of two months,
and 100000 partially trained recruits.
All these men will be regularly enlisted
In the army, and subject to call in case
of war or mobilization.
Ask More Money for Militia.
The regular army Is TO be increased
over a period Of two years to 141,s43
officers and men. The militia, while
technically remaining In the first line
Of defence, is subject only to voluntary
service. The Secretary believes. how
ever, that it Is a valuable part Of the
military system, and recommends in
