K|TCHIN
AGAINST WILSON
DEFENSIVE POLICY
Declares Against Preparedness
Program After Visit to the
White House.
WILL STATE HIS VIEWS
WHEN HOUSE coNvENEs
Was Willing to Be Convinced.
Will Not Fight as
Party Head.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Repre-
sentative Claude Kitchin, Democratic
leader of the House, told President
Wilson today. after long conference
with him. that he could not support
the administration program for ma
tional defense and that he would
oppose the program in a personal
capacity only and not as majority
leader.
Mr.. KiIchin was with the president
more than an hour, during which Mr.
Wilson outlined tc him the army and
navy plans for the next session of
Congress and for the next five years,
and sought to influence the majority
leader to be in harmony with them.
Mr.. kitchin stated his views frank
ly to the president. directing his op-
position chiefly to the naval program.
All can say" said Representa-
tive Kitchin, as he left the White
House, is that very much regret
that cannot support the presidents
national defense program. The plans
do not meet with my convictions,
particularly with reference to the
navy"
Mr.. Kftchin was asked his grounds
for opposing the naval program.
Il shall make clear exposition of
my views as soon as Congress con-
venes ia a speech in the House," he
replied. "0f course l shall not at
tempt to oppose the program as the
majority leader, but merely in my
personal capacity"
Mr.. Kitchin said he thought it very
probable that the majority would
favor the defense program.
Before seeing the president Mr.
Kitchin said he approached the ma
tional defense subject with an open
mind, and was willing to be convinced
of the wisdom OF the administration s
program IL the president could give
him what he would consider a salts
factory justification for the proposed
large increase In army and navy ap-
preparations. Later he said the presi-
dent had said nothing which had
caused him to change his mind
Representative Kitchin's definite
announcement of his position VIII
make 1t impossible for him to lead
the fight for the Administrations
program IN the House The burden
of the leadership will devolve prob
ably upon Chairman Lay, of the
military committee; Chairman Pad
gett. of the naval committee; Chair
man Sherley. OF the fortiffcatlons
committee, and Chairman Fitzgerald,
of the appropriations committee.

With the official count showing a
majority Of forty-seven for Alderman
Thomas ]. Lee. jr.. Democrat. in the
Sixth ward. the chances of a recount

jority of fourteen over DIR. George #.
Corrigan.
Neither the Fifth nor the Sixth

termined until tonight, or possibly
late this afternoon. according to the
statement OF Republican leaders. An
other conferences viii be called before
the procedure is finally decided.
The official count in the Fourteenth
ward showed q majority OF fifty-one
for Frederick G. Ross, Republican,
over John Faiss, Democrat. This has
led to some talk Of a recount. but
nothing positive has been announced.

NEWARKER SAYS
GERMANY HAS NO
FOOD SCARCITY
siegmund Manuel, Returned
from That Country, Also Says
Trade Is FIourishing.

Siegmund Manuel, of 40 Thomas
street. for many years a resident Of
Newark, and who has just returned
from long visit to Germany, says
that food is plenty and cheap there,
and that trade is flourishing even
with such far away parts as South
America He formerly served in a
Prussian regiment and on this last
trip visited Berlin, Hamburg. Han
over, Cologne, Bielefeld and Herfurt
Concerning the food prices Mr..
Manuel found the following average
quotations: Potatoes, 100 pounds. 60
cents; cabbage. 100 pounds, IS cents;
beef. per pound. 80 cents: butter, SO
cents a pound; oleomargarine, So
cents a pound; eggs. averaging cents
apiece; lard. "a cents a pound; fats.
27 cents: bacon, raw, 40 cents. and
smoked, 60 cents: sausage, 10 cents;
cheese. 1896 cents a pound: milk, 6-7
cents a quart.
Commenting on the general i'm
preston the country has made on
him. Mr.. Manuel said:
Only actual observation can give
one an idea OF the marvellous manner
In which the country is managing its
inner affairs, while all around the na-
tions are fighting Germany But for
the increased number Of men in uni
form one would not know that the
country is at war.
Life Is running along in the quiet
orderly manner Of any country in
peace. The train service has not ma
teriaIly suffered, accommodations
everywhere are all that could be
asked, the food is good and prices
are normal. Theaters. restaurants
and cabarets are running. My folks
had trouble TO get accommodation at
the seashore resorts.
The stores are making money, the
officers down TO the lowest ranks are
getting danble pay. labor is getting
good wages and therefore the stores
are patronized to the fullest extent
"The general idea OF Germany being
locked from the world By q steel ring
is a fallacy. There is q brisk com-
1nerce with the neatrals. including tfss
South American trade
The Newarxer had also Opportunity
to see some Of the war Zsppelfns. In
cidentally Mr. Manuel noticed that
the big Zeppelin sheds are made un-
recognizable from any great distance,
as the roofs are made to resemble
fields or gardens according to the
environments. The latest inventions.

hundreds of thousands of pounds and

was listened to by representatives of
the Park church. The same night he
preached at the Old First Church of
Bloomfield, and despite the fact
that 1t was a rainy evening he again
attracted a large number of repre-
sentatiyes of the Park Church. All

pleased by his sermons and his per-
sonality.

has heard Mr.. Reynolds at his home
church. He is said to be about forty
