WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Four hun dred million dollars for defense con- stitutes what the president and the ad- visors say should be appropriated by the next congress. President Wilson is giving preliminary consideration to the defense budget, out of which it is hoped he can lay down a stronger naval pro gram than was ever before authorized, and similar and larger provision for military establishment than is custo- mary in time of peace
 If the needs cannot be cut below s400, 900, 900, the increase over last year will be $40, ,OO0 The view in the administration quarters is that a bond issue should be proposed as means of meeting the expense.
 The presidents determination to urge congress in his message for de- fense program to cost about $400. 900, 900 has been emphasized in official quar- ters, following President Wilson's recent speech, saying that the Ameri- can people were convinced that the United States should be adequately prepared, not for war, but for defense.

Another resolu- tion expressed apprehension because of the presence on the navy advisory board of the manufacturers of muni- tion or men interested in the sale of supplies to the belligerentS.
 The congress believed that the warning nations themselves are un- willing to begin peace negotiations but would welcome, at least not op- pose. an affirmative action by neu- tral agency, based on international justice.
 Representatives of the international labor and women's peace movements will be asked to attend a proposed conference of neutral nations. The delegates believed the presence of large labor and feminine representa- tion would tend to influence the dele gates to strike for peace.
 The congress in another resolution advocated the formation of a commit tee of representatives of all forces in terested in the furtherance of inter- national peace. This committee is ex- pected to establish a clearing house for a further campaign of education tending to strengthen the peace move ment.

No Orders to Militia Pend ing Outcome of Fl Paso Conference - Organizers Leave Myers Continues Investigations

Local attention to the Greenlee copper strike centered in the Clifton headquarters of the miners yesuei = day, where a new committe to con fer with the managers, was being selected. Interested parties making their headquarters now in the capl- tai city, sat tight and awaited de- velOpments. Aside from the depar- ture yesterday of Organizers Powell and De Lara of the Western Feeder e. tion of Miners for the south of the state, presumably to Bisbee, and the predicted departure soon of Joseph s. Myers, commissioner of concilia- tion of the labor department for Clifton, there were no developments here.
 Pending the selection of a new set of talesmen from which the confer ence committee of strikers will be selected, Governor Hunt took no ac- ton yesterday. Advices from Clifton kept the state house informed of the progress of the election of represen- tatives by the striking miners. Othe. information proceeding from the dis trict led to the confident belief here that the situation was easy, and that no more troops would be needed there.
 MT. Myers continued his investf- gations at the state house He studied and made notes on corre- spondence on file in the office of the governor. relating to the strike, and read up on all available reports about the causes and cross currents that have been disturbing the Green lee camps. He let it be known he is preparing to visit the strike dis trict, but could not say when he would be free to pursue his inquiries there.
 Adjutant General Harris remained in the city yesterday. He stated last evening that he did not know when ne would return to the strike dis trict
 At the governors office. it was stated that no new orders to the militia would be issued pending the outcome Of the conference at Fl Paso.

The plan. which probably will be pre- sented to congress at the coming ses- sion, proposes an appropriation of soO,- 900, 900 to be expended by a shipping board. composed of the secretary of the navy. secretary of commerce and three members to be selected by the presi- dent. It will empower the board to in- corporate, subscribe stock in the whole or in part and have the authority to vote stock belonging to the United States in the election of directors The board will also have authority to estab- fish steamship lines where American trade needs accommodation.
 It might operate ships or lease them from other parties. have the power to reform navigation rules and regula tions, study shipping problems. make recommendations to congress for legisla- tion tc encourage and develop the merchant marine under the American flag" Further MT. McAdoo suggested that the shipping board have the au- thority for acting in conjunction with the interstate commerce commission and arrange special through rates to foreign ports so that American rail- roads and steamships could meet for eign competition in the markets. of the world. He laid emphasis on the need of naval auxiliaries in the plans for preparedness and defense

LONDON, Oct. 13.-The near east with the Teutonic and Bulgarian in
 vasion of Serbia, the allies landing in Salonil5i, the promised active interven- tion of Russia and the diplomatic pos abilities between Greece and Rumania, continues to hold the center of interest in the belligerent countries. The Ser
 bians, although greatly outnumbered, are making a stubborn defense. While
 the Teuton progress is steady and very
 slow, it will probably become slower when they reach the Serbian stronghold
 in the mountains. Nothing new re-

The Bulgarian Black Sea ports, where the landing might be made, have been strongly fortified under direction of the Germans and protected with mine fields. There is no change in the west. The Russians won an important en-
 gagement in Galicia, routing three Teu- ton divisions at the Stripa river. They pushed von Hindenburg several miles lalIlIltI west or lCNlIlSh anu are dSdll approaching the DVinsk- Wilma railway.
 Trench fighting continues in the west with fluctuating successes. The allies maintain all the larger gains and are pressing the Germans in Flanders and Champagne Activity of the British submarines in the Baltic continues. Germany is conveying all steamers to and from Sweden. The Russians could come down the Daube. which is an in ternaticnal waterway, but it is doubt ful if they have the necessary trans ports, while to come through Rumania, would require the consent of the gov ernment of that country, which al though it is considered as being friend ly to the entente powers, might not wish to risk the displeasure of Ger many. Some disappointment is ex- pressed here at the decision of Italy not to participate.

At Mass Meetings in Cliff ton, Morenci and Metcalf Fifteen Are Named from Which Managers Are to Choose
READY TO START FOR FL PASO
Even Though the Managers Still Refuse to Confer No Trouble is Expected as Turbulent Spirit Seems Entirely Lacking
(5y ERNEST DOUGLAS)

Especial Representative of The Rt publican)
 CLIFTON, Ariz., Oct. 13-From the list of 15 strikers chosen at the mass meetings held in Clifton, Morenci and Metcalf this afternoon the mine man. agers to choose five with whom they will be willing to confer with the ob-
 ject of ending the labor war which
 has tied up the district nearly five
 weeks. These are the fifteen chosen:
 Morenc are Vsidor Larrea, Angus tin Villegas. Antonio Gias, Jack Me Call Henry Daley and William Mitchell.
 The Clifton representatives are J. s. Hughes G. Hollingsworth, Rudolph Schostal, Rafael Holguin and Rudolfo Falacio.
 Those from Metcalf are H. C. Duval. Refugio Garcia, Nolverto Gonzales and Percy L. Osborn.
 The sentiment among the strikers is not unanimous for following the ad- vice of Governor Hunt and sending another committee to Fl Paso. At the Clifton mass meeting a striker named Sellers moved that 10 commit tee be sent outside the district. Chair man C. A. Hotter and other leaders earnestly protested that by meeting every move of the managers the strikers could win sympathy and force the companies to come to an agree ment. There is widespeard feeling among the strikers that the mana gers will declare the entire 15 unsat- isfactory. In that event no trouble is looked for. It is believed that had there been any langer of further dis order it would have occurred last night upon the return of the first con- ferees sent to Fl Paso. The turbu- lent spirit is entirely lacking. The strikers reiterate a determination to settle down for a long period of trench warfare.
 Sheriff Cash returned this after noon from Fl Paso to accompany the committee to the pass city. He is hopeful of an early settlement. He says the managers are in a better frame of mind than since their flight.
 The managers are requested to make their selection as soon as pos sible. It is hoped they will do so tomorrow forenoon. If so a special train will leave in the afternoon with the committee aboard.
 Agitation was. begun today for a s150,000 county bond issue to feed the strikers. The companies pay 91 per cent of the county taxes. This is looked upon as a possible means to make the companies feed their for mer employees and hastening to end the strike. Several lawyers expressed the opinion that a bond issue for such purposes would be illegal.
 Circulators of petitions to incor porate Morenci claim good success. It is not clear exactly what they hope to accomplish, but they expect to les sen the influence of the mining com panies in that camp.
