he remembered that two years ago
last December, this company was mer-
ged with the Nevada Manufacturing
company of Nevada. Iowa, In the for.
nation of the Nevada Truck and Auto
company OF that city. Mr.. Rosenberger
is director of that company. Mr.
Rosenberger yesterday received very
interesting letter from w. F. Witten-
berg, manager OF the company. The
letter is dated on June Q at Nevada,
Iowa, and reads in part as follows:
1--WE have made a connection with
CASTOR. Williams & Wigmore, Inc, OF
New York city, the largest importing
and exporting company i'm the United
States.
I'VE have contracted with these
people. making them a promise to do.

September Is in the three-ton size.
THE writer expects to leave again
Saturday evening and be I'm New York
city Monday morning to demonstrate
the first truck to the Russian war de
partment Representatives. who are in
New York city, ready to see the dem
onstration. The CASTOR, williams G
Wigmore company has these people In
charge.
After the demonstration has been
made of the first sample truck II will
be put on steamer and rushed TO Lon
don, England for the English govern
ment to inspect and try out, and from
there Il will be taken on through tc
Petrograd.
1T Is not a question OF how many
we can sell. but of how many we car
build. II Is through this firm that the
Clintonville people are connected uT
with their order for 1870 trucks"
Mr.. Wittenberg wrote to Mr.. Rosen-
berger primarily for the purpose OF
getting his help in raising $4,000 to
finance the concern at Nevada, Iowa

'"The It -tcmcn, Of Assistant Secre-
tary EaCsnvnlt that we need $4,000
men. is unionEtcdly true. The navy
is detericri'ins r3r lack of men. The
target rracti;c this last year is no
better than It was ten years ago.
Congress Is negligent in not having
established Il national council of de-

lied naval reserve of $4,000 expert
enced men.
I'm calling attention to these de-
fects. ! have not done so for the sake
OF criticising the present head of the
navy. for although feel that he must
be held RESPONSIBLE for the democrat
lied condition Of the personnel, ard
the decreased efficiency of the navy
at the present time, yet the lack OF
any definite naval policy for many
years. except in the general board of
the navy. and the failure of the people
and congress to recognize the ne
cessity for uch policy, has, placed us
in q position of inferiority, which cir
cumstance may lead us to war, or
cause US great embarrassment, as well
as discredit to the country.
The National Defense.
The investigation of our national
defense and comprehensive plan for
the future should be an obligatory
matter I'm our next congress, for the
navy belongs to the people of the
country, and they have a right to
know its conditions and how IL is be-
ing managed. The mere 'appropria-
ton of vastly increased sums would
not be instrumental I'm bringing about

only be accomplished by an investi

mand for needed changes in the way
OF military reforms. which would be
forced upon congress by an enlight
ened public sentiment
This investigation and knowledge
has been denied to the people by the
leaders OF the party in power. II is
deplorable that there should be an in
fluence to deceive the people in a
matter OF such vital importance. We
have reached n period in the worlds
history when it must be recognized
that II we are to maintain peace, and
safeguard the interests of our people
we must be prepared to defend our
selves. Let us not forget-as the ma

Former Navy Secretary Speaks
His Mind On Subject

New York. June ls.-George Won l..
Meyer who was secretary of the navy
in President Taft's cabinet, address
ing the Peace and Preparation Con
ference Of the National Security
league at luncheon today, asserted
that the American navy is deterior-
ating, outlined the respects i'm which
he believed such TO be the case and
urged that investigation of the ma
tional defense and comprehensive
plan for the future should be made
obligatory upon the next congress.
Lack OF battle cruisers, airships,
armed aeroplanes and men, lack of a
naval reserve OF experienced pen,
lack of n comprehensive policy OF ma
; tional defense. lack Of general public
knowledge of the navy's condition, re-
duction Of compliments OF some ships
to man other and newer ships and
general appropriateness on the part
of many battleships and other fight
ing units were enumerated as in
stances of naval inferiority. Mr..
Meyer said, in part:
Twenty one Fit For Service.
"Of the thirty three batteships we
have only twenty one that are fitted
for service without long delay. Fur
thermore, we have about seventy mis-
cellaneous fighting ships not prepared
for service i'm case of emergency.
I'VE lack battle cruisers, airships
and armed aeroplanes.
Our submarines are I'm a crippled
condition.
The complement of all torpedo de-
stroyers has been reduced from fif-
teen to twenty-five per cent to get
men to commission new boats. This
reduction in personnel is serious
handicap, reduces the efficiency of
, the destroyers. affects contentment,
and prevents the boat being kept in
good condition.
"The Atlantic feet alone needs
: 5000 more men.
The reserve fleet at Philadelphia
was largely depleted in order to get a
crew for the Alabama when she was
ordered to Hampton Roads to enforce
neutrality.
Review Poor Imitation.
The review I'm New York this year
was poor imitation of previous re-
views, I'm that the reserve feet was
absent II was a mere parade, not a
mobilization. Il did not indicate the
true condition of the navy because
the people did not know the whole
truth.
For lack of men, ships are laid up
at navy yards. where hey rapidly de-
teriorate. like a vacant house. All
small ships and all cruisers now laid
up for lack of men are needed in Mex
leo and elsewhere, and should be
ready for an emergency call to pre-
vent the employment OF battleships at
gunboat duty. The complement of en-
listed men at shore stations and train
ing stations has been cut down, with
a decided loss of efficiency: and
greatly to the discomfort and discom-
fort of the men.
ITO enumerate the ships in the
navy and make list OF new ships
authorized gives no idea whatever OF
the true condition OF the navy as to
its readiness for war. Ships without

Death From White
Plague Are Reduced

Seattle. Wash. June 15.-Tubercu-
losis in all it's form carried of during
the year 1913 over $4,000 victims In
the United States. which signifies the
presence OF approximately 1,430,OOC
Consumptives with an economic loss
of at least 14.5OO. 900 per annum, ac-
cOrding TO the figures given by the
president OF the National Association
for the Study and Prevention Of Tu-
bcrculosis, DR.. George NJ. KOber oil
Washington- y. C., In his annual adj
dress al the meeting here today.
Great and grave as the problem
may appear" he said, there is GER
tainly' hope when we consider that
the death rate from this disease has
been reduced from 326 per 100000
population In 1880 to 1876 in 1913
which means that If the former rate
had been continued the number OF
deaths from this cause would have
been 22.027 instead OF $4,000 i'm 1919
equivalent TO a saving Of 1907 dur
ing one year. While much has been
achieved more remains to be done in
the prevention of the direct and pre-
disposing causes"
For Immediate Action.
Among the recommendations for i'm
mediate action on the part of the Ma
-tional association. DIR. Kober made The
following:
"One. In view of the fact that
from six to seven per cent of the
samples OF the average market milk
contain bovine tuberclc bacilli, lei
us urge, by education and otherwise
that all milk, unless derived from tu-
berculin tested animals. be pasteur-
lied or scalded.
Two. Since the mortality from
tuberculosis among inmates OF un-
sanitary homes is often double and
treble that of the general population
il is our duty to see that the building
regulations are so modified as to pro-
hibit the renting of houses unfit for
human habitation.

nearly one-half of the $4,000 deaths
from tuberculosis I'm 1913, occurred
among the industrial workers who
Constitute about one third of the pop
ulation, we should strongly urge the
enactment and enforcement of laws
for the removal of dust and fumes
the foes of industrial life"
The Special Measures.
Among the special measures to be
taken for the prevention of tubercu-
losis by states and municipalities. DIR
Kober emphasized the following:
"One. Compulsory notification oil
cases to the health authorities as
soon as the disease is recognized. The
health authorities should also resort
to disinfection OF the home and per-
sonal effects, especially upon the
death of the patient or vacation of the
premises.
Two. The enactment OF enforce
ment of laws against expectoration
coughing into the faces of persons
and the common use OF individual
drinking cups are called for. Pro-
visions should be made for individual
drinking. cups or fountains, and for
suitable spittoons and their disinfec-
ton in all public buildings. The pub
lie should not cultivate an exagger-
ated fear, but has right to insist
upon clean and decent precaution.
