PICTURES INVASION
BY ARMY OF 100000
Capt. N. f. Hanna Talks at
Union League Club on "Na.
tiOnal Defence"
SAYS WE LACK BIG GUNS

The possibility Of an invasion OF the
united states by foreign army OF 1oo.-
600 trained soldiers and Of an attack on
New York city by warships was pictured
wildly with the probable results last
evening by Capt. Matthew T.. Hanna. who
resigned three years ago from the United
states army. when he was a member Of
the General STAFF. He presented to the
members OF the Union League Club in a
discussion on National Defence" a pic
ture Of what he termed the inadequacy
Of the United States army and nation to
cope with an invading force.
Much interest was attached to Capt.
Hanna's speech owing to the fact .aat
he told OF the consideration given by the
General STAFF when he was member OF
1t to the possibility of an invasion. He
went on to prophesy that in the event
Of such an attack New England would
be the Belgium of the United States be-
cause Of its vunerablity.
He said that three years ago the Gen.
eral stan tried in every possible way to
create situation such that We could
be certain that the invasion OF the
United states by dominant European
Power was not a possibility. We could
not reach that decision"
He went on to say how the conclusion
had been reached that an army OF
100, 900 could be landed in New England
and soon would be near New York city.
He called our coast Notifications a mis-
homer because they do not protect our
coasts, but simply protect certain har-
bors. He said the coast defences are
only half manned. with ammunition
enough to last through an engagement
of only an hour or an hour and a half.
The guns are now outranged by the
guns on the latest types OF battleships,
he said.
on our coast would be an easy operation.
He pointed out that we have a standing
army OF only 10000. spread all over
the globe; that we have only 10000
militiamen on the rolls. He then
went on to say that there is projec,
on foot which calls for loo field guns
OF the inch type. but tina,
If the Government should want 500
such guns and every factory that is
equipped to build them should go &c
work night and day 1t would take a
year and half to All the orders.
He said also that the regular army
could use up in a day and a half all
the ammunition that il now available.
Msjor-Gen. John r. Organ. head OF
the militia force of this State. said the
country was not past the possibility OF
war. He said arbitration does not
provide definite and certain substitute
for war.

Bold Attempt at Burglary Frustrated.

A rather bold attempt at robbery was
nipped in the bud at Rutland Wednes-
day evening when four men working
together were disappointed in their at
tempt to obtain the valuable wedding
gifts of Miss Beulah M. Wilkinson as
she was being united in marriage with
the Rev. Edgar D. Brown at the Meth
odist Episcopal church.
The wedding was set for So'clock and
only one woman was left in care of the
house of Frank A. Wilkinson, father
of the bride, on West st. The woman
went to the front door in answer to the
door bell and found there two men who
kept her engaged in conversation. On
hearing a slight noise behind her she
shut the door in the mems faces and,
going to the room where the wedding
gifts were displayed, found two men,
each with large piece of cake in his
hand, in the act of going over the pres
ents.
When they found they were watched
they beat hasty retreat through the
back door. The sum of 500 in gold ly-
ing upon the table was undsturbed and
none of the presents were missing.
1t is thought all four were tramps
working together and at the time of
their entry knew nothing of the wedding
gifts

Jack didn't see it was false-and fash
ing teeth. Poor boy! 1 felt so sorry
for him. She was not a good woman
at least, if she were good she
wouldn't have worn false hair and
been so terribly overdressed.
After that never went to Flavin's
again. l began to think more of Jack.
Was 1t my duty to try and save him
from that creature, at any personal
secrifice?
Before l had decided a terrible
thing happened. The empty Office of
our floor was rented. One day | saw
that the painter had put up a new
name on the brass door. Whose do
you suppose it was? Jacks. He had
rented that office for his business
of course, to annoy me.
And the next day l saw him. l
had known that we would meet, and
| planned to show him my complete
Indifference to his prosecutions. l
resolved to pass him without the faint
est sign of recognition, especially
after his brutal conduct in Flavin's.
We passed. held my head high, but
Jack didn't notice me at all He
passed me as If l were a stone. Pos
ltively, the man seemed Brute,
heartless, uncultured clod. What an
escape had had!

ed to close his office the same time
Mr.. Stevens did, but l always took
the other elevator. | think Sam, the
colored elevator man, understood our
antpathy, for he always smiled so
sympathetically at me, and looked so
sternly at Jack.
1t was think, on the fifth evening
after Jack had rented the office, that
a dreadful experience happened to me.
| had been working late, and every
body had left the building-or nearly
everybody. l was happy that night,
because | knew that Jack would have
gone home long ago. 1t must have
been eight o'clock when finally laid
aside my work, put on my hat, and
went out.
/ pressed the elevator bell and Sam
came up Just as | saw his grinning
face behind the grille who should
come along the passage but Jack!
He had been working late, too. |
hesitated to believe that he had been
waiting for me just to prosecute me.
He stepped toward the elevator, and
of course l stepped aside. "I'n take
the other" l said
Sorry, miss, but the other eleva-
tors out Of order" said Sam sympa-
thetically.
Well, there was no help for 1t. |

on Jack, who got in and took the other
corner
The elevator began to go very slowly
and jerkily, and all at once It stopped
between two floors Sam looked at
me with frightened face.

said.
