COUNCILS TO STARyE

TO HUMTLIATE MAYOR
Finance Committee, ignoring
Blankenburg's Plea, Will
Cripple Service, but Will
Provide Junket Money
CASH FOR BELLS TRIP

Another big junket appropriation in con-
nection with the Liberty Bell is to be
rushed through by City Councils tomor-
row, while demands OF the Mayor Tor
funds to pay laborers and mechanics to
purchase fuel and food for city institu-
tions. TO repair streets and water mains
and to support juvenile delnquents. are
being ignored
More than a million dollars Is needed
TO tide over the various departments OF
the city until the first OF next year, but
Il Is generally understood around City
Hall today. that the Finance Committee
OF Councils will take no action to pro-
vide this sum. About $4,000 of the
amount is for fuel in the Water Bureau.
Mayor Blankenburg asked Chairman
John p. Connolly, of Councils Finance
Committee, several days ago to let him
know what action is to be taken on the
urgent items. The Mayor had not yet
had reply. Today the Mayor summed
up the financial situation for the closing
months of his administration, and con-
cluded with the following:
Councils would like to have this Ad-
ministration go out showing a big deficit,
and for that reason they do not want to
give the departments the money that is
badly needed for the proper conduct of
city affairs. l nave called attention TO
some of the financial needs. and action is
now up to Councils"
But while Councils is starving the ad-
ministration for political effect by failure
TO appropriate for necessities of the mu-
nicipal government. swift action is sched-
uled for the ordinance to appropriate
$4,000 to bring home the Liberty Bell
from the Panama-Pacihc Exposition at
San Francisco.

PRESIDENT URGES
ADEQUATE MEANS
OF U. S. DEFENSE
Wilson Pleads for Coop
Grafton Before Advisory
Board
EXPERTS HOLD SESSION

WASHINGTON oct. 6.-Presdent Will
son this afternoon struck out straight for
greater preparedness in an address OF
welcome to members OF the Naval Ad-
visory Board at the White House. calling
upon them to unite with the Government
in establishing defense that would
command the respect OF the entire
world"
81 think the whole nation is convinced
that we ought TO be prepared not for
war. but for defense, and very adequate
iy prepared" the President said, The
prepa ra tion for defense is not merely a
technical matter; IL is not a matter that
the army and navy alone can take care
of. but a matter in which we must have
the cooperation OF the best brains and
knowledge Of the country, outside the
official service Of the Government as well
as inside.
For my part I feel that II is only in
the spirit OF true democracy that we
get together to lend each other voluntary
aid. the sort Of aid that comes from in
terest, from a knowledge of the varied
circumstances that are involved in
handling a nation.
'I want you to feel that we have a
very serious purpose, that we have not
asked you to associate yourself with us
except for a very definite and practical
purpose, to get you to give us your best
independent thought as to how we ought
to make ready for any duty that may
fall upon the nation.
II do not have to eXpound IL to you.
you know as well as / do the spirit OF
America The spirit OF America is one
of peace, but one of independence. II
Is a spirit that is profoundly concerned
with peace because 1t can express it,
self best only in peace. It is the spirit
Of peace and good will and of human
freedom; but II is also the spirit of a
nation that is self-conscious, that knows
and loves its mission in the world and
that knows 1t must command the respect
of the world.
URGES COOPERATION.
80 II seems to me that we are not
working as those who would change any
thing of America, but only as those who
would safeguard everything In America
l know that you enter into conference
with the officers of the navy in that spirit
and with that feeling, and it makes me
proud that the busy men OF America, the
men who stand at the front of their pro-
fession, should be willing in this way to
associate themselves voluntarily with the
Government IN the task in which II needs
all sorts of expert and serious advice.
Nothing ought to be done in this country
by any single group of persons-every-
thing ought to be done by all of us united
together and welcome this association in
the most serious and grateful spirit"
