The fifth dance of the series of
Club dances to be given this season
will be held at the Morenci Club on
Saturday evening February 14th. The
Martins will furnish music for the
affair. Owing to the fact that the
executive committee has been very
close in figuring the costs of the
dances, they have been more sue
cessful in their persistent saving
than they anticipated and have
enough money to give another dance
in March. The dances during this
winter have been conducted in an
excellent manner and every member
of this dancing club can/we1l ap-
preciate receiving the worth of their
money in six dances for five dol
lars. The affairs have been ordinary
ones with no attempts at decoration,
but the dancers have enjoyed some
extra good times.

The gold mining industry Of the
United States had prosperous year
in 1914 and regained its normal con-
dition, inasmuch as early returns in
dictate an output greater by nearly
$4,0OO,OOO than that. of 1918. Mr..
H. ID. McCaskey, of the U. s. Geo
logical Survey. who is authority for
these figures, adds that the produc-
ton in 1913 was lower than for sew
eral years past and even in 1914 the
output was considerably below that
of any year in the period 1908-1912,
when the high-water mark was reach
ed. For 1914 the preliminary figures

vey and the Bureau of the Mint indi-
cate total gold yield of $2.s23.5OO.
The life savers of the United States
Bureau of Mines have, according to
the statement of DR.. Joseph A.
Holmes, the director, rescued more
than one hundred entombed miners
from certain death. More than this,
he asserts in his annual report that
volunteer rescuers in the employ of
mining companies and trained in res
cue work by the bureau have saved
many other men. As result of
the example set by the bureau, res
cue and first-aid organizations : have
been established at many mines and
more than 1900 sets of rescue apar-
atus have been purchased by mine
owners. These stations are expected
to save the lives of many men in the
future

different from that of the private in- d1V1dual who is free to speak his own thoughts and to risk his own opinions Tn this matter. We are here dealing with things that are vital to the life or America itself. In doing this I nave tried to purge my. heart of all personal and selfish motives For the time being speak as the trustee and guardian of a nations rights, charged with. the duty of speaking for that nation in matters involving her<sov- erelgnty-a nation too big and gen. efous to be exacting, and yet cour- ageous enough to defend it's rights and the liberties of it's people wherever assa1led or invaded I would not feel that I was 'discharging the solemn obligation I owe the country were I not to speak in terms of the deepest so1emnity of the urgency and necessity Of preparing ourselves to guard and protect the rights and privileges of our people, our sacred heritage of the fathers who struggled to make us an independent nation.
 The only thing within our own borders that has given us grave con- cern in recent months has been that voices have been raised in America protesting to be. voices of Americans which were not indeed and in truth American, but which spoke alien sym pafh1es, which came from men who loved other countries better than they
 
 loved America, men who were parti- sans off other causes than t71;tt of America and had forgotten that thciy. chief and only allegiance was tU the great government under which they live. These voices have not been many, but they have been very loud and very c1amorous. They have pro- ceeded from a few who were bitter and who were grievousIY misled. America has not opened it's doors in vain to men and women out of other nations. The vast majority. of those who have come to take adHantage of her hospitality have united their spir- its with hers we'll as their fortunes. These men who speak alien sympa- thies are not their spol esnnen, but are the spokesmen of small groups whom 1t is high time that the nation should call to a reckoning. The chief thing necessary in America in order that she should let all the world know that she is prepared to main tain her own great position is that the real voice of the nation should sound forth unmistakab1y and in majestic volume, in the deep unison of a com mon, unhestitating national feeling I do not doubt that upon the first oc- casion upon the first opportunity, upon the first definite challenge, that voice will speak forth in tones which no man can doubt and with com mands which no man dare gainsay or resist
 May I not say, while am speaking

compared with the other navies of the world is that we should hasten our pace in the policy we have long been pursuing, and that chief of all, we should have a definite policy of development, not made from year to year, but looking well into the future and planning for a definite consunn- nation. We can and should profit in all that we do by the experience and example that have been made obvi-- ous to us by the military and naval events of the actual present. It is not merely a matter of building battle ships and cruisers and submarines, but also a matter of making sure that we shall have the adequate equipment, of men and munitions and supplies for the vessels we build and intend to build. Part of our problem is the problem of what I may call the mob ilization of the resources of the na- ton at the proper time if it should ever be necessary to mobilize them for national defense. We shall study efficiency and adequate equipment as carefully as we shall study the nun Der and size of our ships, and be- Heve that the plans already ine part made public by the Navy Departm ent are plans which the whole nation can approve with rational enthusiasm.
 ''No thoughtful man feels any panic haste in this matter. The country is not threatened from any quarter. She stands in friendly relations with all the world. Her resources are known and her self-respect and her capacity to care for her own citizens and her own rights. There is no fear amongst us. Under the new world conditions we have become thoughtful of the things which all reasonable men con siders necessary for security and self defense on the part of every nation confronted with the great enterprise of human liberty and independence. That is all.
 ''Is the plan we propose sane and reasonable and suited to the needs of the hour? Does it not conform to the ancient traditions of America? :? Has any better plan been proposed than this program that we now place before the country? In it there is no pride of opinion. It represents the best professio ona1 and expert judgment of the country. ButaI am not so much interested in programs as I am in safeguarding at every cost the good faith and honor of the country. If men differ with me in this vital mat ter, I shall ask them to make it clear how far and in what way they are interested in making the permanent interests of the country safe against disturbance.
 propose I shall ask for the hearty support of the country, of the rank and file of America, of men of all shades. of political poinfon. For my position in this important matter is

lege to lay before the congress at its next session. That plan calls for only such an. increase in the regular army of the United States as experience has proved to be required for the per formance of the necessary duties of the army in the Philippines, in E1a- waii, in Porto Rico, upon the borders of the United States, at the coast Qualifications, and at the military posts of the interior. For the rest, it calls for the training within the next three years of "a force of 100000 citizen soldiers to be raised in annual con- tingents of 133 900, who would be asked to enlist for three years with the colo1's and three, years on fur tough, but who during their three years of enlistment with the co1ors would not be organized as a standing force, but would be expected merely to undergo intensive training for very brief period of each year Their training would take placf in immed1- ate association with the organized units of the regular army. It would have no touch of the amateur about it, neither would it exact of the volun-' teers more than they could give in any one year from their civilian pursuits.
 ssAnd none of this would be done in such a way as in the slightest degree to supersede or subordinate our pres ent serviceable and efficient national guard On the contrary, the national guard itself would be used as part of the fnstrumentahty by which train ing would be given the citizens who enlisted under the new conditions, and I should hope and expect. that the Iegislation by which all this would be accomplished would put the national guard itself upon a. better and more permanent footing than it has ever been before, giving it not only the reco gnition which it deserves, but more definite support from the na- tionaI government and a more definite connection with the military organiza- ton of the nation.
 .eWhat we all wish to accomplish is that the forces of the nation should indeed be part of the nation and not separate professional force, and the chief cost of the system would not be in the enlistment or in the train ing of the men, butsin the providing of ample equipment in case it should be necessary to call all forces into the field.
 Moreover, it has been American policy time out of mind to look to the navy as the first and chief line of de- fense. The navy of the United States is already a very great and efficient force. Not rapidly, but slowly. with careful attention, our naval force has been developed until the navy of the United States stands recognized as one of the most efficient and notable of the modern time. All that is need-t ed in order to bring it to a point of extraordinary force. and efficiency as

of this, that there is another danger that we should guard against? We should rebuKe not only manifestations of racial feeling here in America where there should ben one, but also every manifestation of religious and sectarian antagonism. It does not be- come America that within her bor- ders, where every man is free to fc&- low the dictates of his conscience and worship God as he pIeases, men should raise>the cry of church against church. To do that is to strike at the very spirit and heart of America We are a God-fearing people We agree to differ about methods of wor- ship, but we are united in believing in Divine Providence and in worship ping the God of Nations. We are the champions of religious right here and everywhere that it may be our priv 1lege to give it our countenance and support. The government is con- scious of the obligation and the nation is conscious of the obligation. Let no man create divisions where there are none.
 Here is the nation God~has builded by our hands. What shall we do with it? Who is there who does not stand ready at all times to act in her behalf in a spirit of devoted and disinterested patriotism? :? We are yet only in the youth and first conscious ness of our power. The day of our country's life is still but in it's fresh morning. Let us lift our eyes to the great tracts of life yet to be con quered in the interests of righteous peace. Come. let us renew our a1- 1egiance to America, conserve her strength in it's purity, make her chief among those who, serve mankind, self reverenced.
