1aft advocated preparedness for war
today, illustrated its necessity and de-
tailed the means to that end, in an ad-
dress delivered at Taft Day" exercises
at the Panama Pacific Exposition.
A silver loving cup, inscribed in
grateful remembrance of his unfailng
friendship and the fultillment of his
confidence that San Francisco knows
how" was presented to him by En-
position officials.
After outlining the naval and mill
:ary preparations which he considered
necessary for this country to make,
Mr.. Taft estimated what the prepara-
tons would cost, indicated how the
money might be raised. and made a
plea for the exclusion of politics from
the question of preparedness and for
the employment of expert advice.
In summing up what he regarded as
necessary preparations, he said:
First an increase OF our navy tom
mage as rapidly as 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 defence guns. the
completion of the defense of Chesa-
peake bay at Cape Henry. In addition.
an increase of 10000 trained coast artil-

lerymcn and 800 officers to man the
coast defences properly.
Third, an increase in our regular mo-
bile army of $1,000 troops and a quadru-
Ming of the supply of educated military
officers. We should also adopt reduc-
ed term of enlistment with inducement
to the formation of reserve of trained
men,
He then pointed out. however. that.the
treasury of the United States is not in a
condition to warrant such expenditures.
THE program l have proposed he
said modest as it is, will certainly IN
crease the annual army and naval ap-
propria ton perhaps s15oC0e.o00 for each
of the years and probably more. 1t
could be partly made up by the renewal
of the war tax and of the sugar tax.
Welding say l25,o0o,00n. There would be
left a deficit still to be provided for
either by cutting down expenses or by
additional taxation.
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 il and explain the
imperative necessity. The payment of a
tax however small, makes a man bet
ter citizen. To assume that the plain
people are unwilling to pay Increased
tax in case of national need is to detract
them and to ascribe to them the lowest
motive for political action.

DETR0|T'S GOLF
STARS FAIL TO
SURVIVE ROUND

Detroit, Sept 1.-Two heart break
ing battles resulted in the defeat of
Detroit's star survivors today in the
third round Of match play for the
National Amateur Golf Championship.
Three fasteners and one winner from
the west are left to compete in the
semi-finals tomorrow.
Max r. Marston of Springfield. y.
j., and Howard b. Lee. of Detroit
played the poorest golf, but took part
in the longest and most desperate
match. Marston after seemingly
beaten on the home stretch. came up
from behind and wrested victory from
his opponent on the 3Sth hole. James
D. Standish, Jr., of Detroit, after be-
ing far behind Sheriff. Sherman Of
Utica, compelled the New Yorker to
play So holes before the latter won,
IL up. Robert A. Gardner of Chicago
and Yale former national champion
gave Ned" Sawyer of Wheaton. His.
bad defeat-the count being : up
and 6 to play. Nelson Whitney of
New Orleans lost to John G. Ander-
son of Mount Vernon, n. V. 3 and >.
The semfinals tomorrow will bring
together Gardner and Marston in what
is expected to be the feature match.
Anderson will oppose Sherman.
The decisive manner in which
Standish won from Champion Ouimet
yesterday had made him an over
Whelming favorite today. Sawyer. too,
had been popularity picked to win.

acted as caddy for his conqueror. The
New Jersey youth was one up from
the forenoon and the out half of their
afternoon game was a grinding task
for both men. Not one of the nine
holes was halved.
Sherman played probably the great
est game Of his modest career. He was
one hole behind Standist in the fore
noon, but after the three first holes OF
the second half We're played. he was
two up. Twice he holed his putt to beat
Par by stroke. Sawyer. four down
in the forenoon. won only two holes
during the rest of the tilt with Gard
ner.
Gardner went out in 81 in the after
noon and Sawyer took 40, The latter's
uncertainty and weak putting were re-
sponsible for his poor showing. Ander-
sons steadiness and the erratic nature
Of Whitney's short game brought vic
leans player was forced to trail all the
afternoon and the strain told on his
nerves. Anderson had a margin of one
hole this forenoon. He went out on his
second round in 3s and was three up on
the turn, after Whitney had won the
26th and 9th holes. Each won a hole
coming back, before the fight ended on

PRESIDENT ASKED
SEC'Y DANIELS AND
GARRISON FOR PLANS

Washington. Sept. 2.-President Wilson
tonight made public letters he wrote to
Secretaries Garrison and Daniels last
month asking them to form ulate for him
definite programs for strengthening the
national defences in order that he might
make recommendations to Congress in
his next annual message.
The President told the two secreta ries
he wanted them to confer with the best
informed experts of their departments
and submit plans formulated in very
definite terms. Whether the entire pro-
gram could be proposed to Congress inn
mediately, he said. would have to be de-
termined after further study.
In accordance with this request Secre-
tary Garrison and Secretary Daniels have
been al work on their reports for more
than a month and now have them vir-
tually completed. They will soon be SUD-
mtted to the President. Then he will
discuss them with the chairmen of the
military and naval affairs committees of
Congress.
