Representative Beakes Sees Need for
New System to Raise Train

Urging that Congress enact construct
i've legislation looking to national defense

Of Michigan. democrat. has made the
following statement:
One Of the greatest problems for the
Congress to settle at it's next session IS
the question of national defense. IT will
not do simply to increase the regular
army regular army increased to an
efficient size would entail burden of
taxation too heavy to be borne by a ma
ton which does not favor militarism.
AS along most other lines, there has

new system of providing a trained citi-
zen soldiery which can be mobilized
quickly enough and be large enough to
furnish effective defense in case of

America Must Produce Evidence.

From he
The German note is courteous in tone
and the hand is out for a settlement of
differences The note does not say that
the American position is untenable. 1t
merely demands that the facts in the
case be first established. 1t takes the
good old American view that the COM
plainant must bring forth the evidence
OF the guilt OF the accused.
Justice for Germany.
From the st. Louis Westlche Post.
The President has the right. after
careful reflection, to dismiss the
grounds submitted to him for a re-
hearing. but first he must accord them
his most respectful attention and. be-
fore all things. must not regard it as
an insult that a nation striving for its
very being seeks to justify Its methods
of war. We as Americans. to
whom the call Of the republic is sacred,
expect toward Germany neither SYM
pathy nor generosity. only justice.
Put Embargo on Food and Travel.
From the Chicago Abendpost.
The American note really was an in
dictment based solely upon British and
pro-Britfsh testimony and asked of
Germany that she admit her guilt and
view of this the German note is all
that was to be expected. The Amer
lean people are not disposed to be rea-
sonable where the lives of their fellow
citizens are concerned. The placing of
an embargo on all munitions of war,
all food. all passenger travel with all
belligerent countries, will best insure
us that safety and peace which we de-
sire. That done. if we are still men,
aced. we should visit a terrible death
upon any foe that attacks us.

We believe that the German govern

If it had been the intention OF the

follow that no one could hold this Of
