U. S. the Most Militaristic Nation

The United States, with its notori-
Ously small and inadequate army,
spends more on pensions than all the
great military establishments of Europe
put together. Taking our annual
budget for military purposes that we
are the most militaristic nation in the
world. We spend Oh the army and
navy, including pensions, more than
half of our national revenue. Our ex-
penditures. exclusive of the postofice-
which need not be considered, since this
appropriation is reimbursed by pc staI
receipts-amouht to about $3.50, 600, 600
a year. OF this the items for army,
navy, and military pensions amount to
about $3.50, 200, 0OO-much more than
half.
Prussian militarism shows nothing
comparable to that: on the other hand
hand, Germany gets something for her
expenditures, while a considerable part
of urs goes TO the account of a wal
that was ended fifty years ago. Up to
1912, when the new army law went into
effect, Germany was spending about
5000, DOC, 900 a year on her military
establishment. American expenditures
for the army, intending pensions,
amounted to more than $500, 900, 900.
That is, based on expendi, ures, We are
more militaristic than Germany.
In Europe every workman is said to
carry a soldier ON his back; in the
United States he must carry at least
two. We pay these enormous taxes
for about $4,000 men; Germany gets a
peace army of 800, 000 men and a war
footing of several millions. = The

former allegiance. --,-.--.

Between the two wings of our party
there is no difference as to the route

There is no advantage In three

tricks and trades Any man can make
his influence felt in any party, but he
cannot translate 1t into an active force
for good laws and good government
unless that party Is powerful enough to
put its policies into effect.

either to a failure to appreciate the

to hope that no serious damage would

Turkey. in an effort to draw within

a result of the last Balkan war, has
decided to grant them the same bene-
fits and exemptions as heretofore were
accorded only to Mohammedans. An

The advantages and exemptions" I"
said the announcement. consist Of ex-
ceptional facilities for having access
into Ottoman soil. the ACQUISITION of
Ottoman nationality and immunity. for

During the last century the Ottoman
government has accorded these facili-

Of Piracy.

The Department Of Justice is expected

criminal section OF the Sherman anti
trust act.

such as to justify presentation to a

there could be a restraint OF trade bv

Decision Hangs Upon Study
Now Being Made of
Private Bids.
ONE YARD is EQUIPPED
NOW FOR CONSTRUCTION
Secretary Daniels Believes, However,
Two More Can Be Made Ready
at Little Expense. J.

Whether construction of the two
Congress. bids for which were opened
at the Navy Department yesterday.
shall be undertaken at government
plants depends upon the result of a
careful study by naval officials of flg-
ures submitted by private shipyards.
Private bidders apparently failed to
keep their proposals within the $780,
600 limit of cost fxed by Congress for
hull and machinery Of each ship. The
government plants, on the other hand.
including those at New York, Phila-
delphia and Mare Island, all submitted
estimates within the limit, most Of
them being below 100000.
All Proposed Notifications. .
Bids submitted by the private plants.
including the Fore River Shipbuildi g
Company, the New York Shipbuild ng
Company and the Newport News Ship
building Company. all proposed mod "a
cations to the departments specifica-
tions.
Careful study is being made to deter
mine the exact cost of the ships under
each bid. If it is found that all the
private BIDS are In excess OF the fmll
fixed by Congress, it Is likely that the
ship companies will be asked to reduce
their figures before deciding to give
the entire work to the government
plants.
Secretary Daniels is convinced of the
need for equ1pping two more govern
|ment yards for battleship building. At
present only one yard-that at New
York-is so equipped. Those at Phila-
delphia and Mare Island, however,
could be prepared for such work at
small cost.
War Sends Up Prices.
The result of the European wars de-
mands on domestic markets is shown by
the fact that the hulls and machinery OF
the new Mttleships Mississippi and Ida-
no were contracted for at s7,115.000 and
81, 7,250. 900 respectively year ago. while
yesterdays private bids for virtually iden-
tical ships ranged from s7,229,000 to ST.
IT'S, 900, with various qualifications, such as
ST pulation that the government assume
all insurance charges, pay for test trials
and supply much por. able material and
providing for the substitution of cheaper
grades of steel and nber than specified.
