building program which year after
year We have ignored. The building
program which speak of called for
forty-eisht battleships and It did not
profess to make us safe against Great
Britain. but Great Britain was not
considered a probable enemy. mas
much as Secretary Daniels plan re-
duces the number OF dreadnoughts In
the building program from forty-eight
to forty-six. l am very much afraid the
Old unsound doctrine still prevails. I
am quite confident the American peo-
PIE are unwilling our safety should de-
pend upon the friendliness of any ma
ton upon earth. OF course, we can
defend ourselves on the sea against
Great Britain without attempting to
build a navy equal to hers"
Question: Is that. your principal
criticism of Secretary Daniels plan?
Answer: No. My principal crit
icism lies in the fact that the secre-
tarys building program will take nine
years to execute. l believe this pro-
gram ought to be speeded up. Further.
more. l am good deal concerned at
the TACT that the secretary only rec
commended an increase of eleven
thousand five hundred sailormen and
marines. Admiral Badger and Assis-
tant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt
have both testified the navy needs
eighteen thousand to twenty thousand
additional men before We can properly
man the ships which we already have"
Question: Which plan is the best,
Daniels or Garrison's?
Answer: Heavens knows that all
my prejudices are in favor of Score
tary Garrison. but I think Secretary
Daniels plan would be absolutely
sound If it were not SO long drawn
out
Question: What criticism have you
to offer on Secretary Garrison's plan?
Answer: He doesn't give US any.
where enough regular soldiers. II war
should break out before we have an
adequate navy. We should have moth
Ing to depend on to oppose an invading
force Secretary Garrison's plan will
increase our field army or mobile
array, as it is often called, to sixty
thousand men or less. Sixty thousand
regulars could not make very much of
a showing even with our entire mill
itia of one hundred and twenty thou
sand men alongside them in the
trenches
Question: Secretary Garrison also
proposes an army of four hundred
thousand continentals. as he calls
them. They are to be trained for two
months each year and their period of
active service is to be three years.
What do you think of that plan?
Answer: 1t will be fine If you can
get the volunteers to do it.
Question: Do you think a reluct-
ance to issue bonds accounts for what
you describe as a restricted program?
Answer: Very likely. l believe in
bond issue. If We want to be safe,
let us be really safe, and. let us be
safe as quickly as possible.
Question: Do you agree with the
idea that preparation for war incites
men to war?
=: Answer: Just as much az / agree
that training men to fight fire makes
them incendiaries, or arming police
men with revolvers urges them on to
homicide.

Residents near Lydick are opposed
to transferring Pottawatomie park

prevent the deal from being made.
1t was cOntended by those present
that the property belongs TO the cOun-

in it and that the price offered by
the city is not enough.

taken by the Lydick meeting is being
prepared and will be distributed
about the county. A number of other
meetings are scheduled during the
next few days when the question will
be taken up.

SUBMARINE WILL
SURPASS ALL OTHERS
Uncle Sam Lets Contract For sea
going Vessel-Five TCr-
pedO Tubes.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.--The navy
department Tuesday made a contract
with the Electric Boat Co. at Quincy,

going submarine which viii surpass

tubes with foLr times the number of
torpedoes on board of any other sub
marine. These it can discharge prac-
tically in any direction.
The radius OF sailing Of this subma-
rine is about 5000 miles. The ordi-
nary submarine has a distance limit
of about I 900 miles AS the best sub

displacement Of about $50 tons or 400
tons, experts say that, taking every
thing into consideration. the American
seagoing submarine viii have about
40O per cent value over any now built

by reason of its long distance possibil-
tiles under water. il can launch an at
tack very fer from any object and

when il first submerges.

alleges, he failed to provide for her,
often beat her and also committed
adultery. She finally left him and
went to live with relatives at Michigan
City.
While at Michigan City her brother
showed her clippings from Detroit
papers and from a Michigan City pa
per relating how her husband had
been killed. She says also that the
mans mother and sister went into
mourning for him believing that he
had been killed as related. Soon after
that she married Homer Brantlinger
and moved to South Bend where she
lived until her husbands death.
IL was about two years ago that
she again married. Her last husband
was Bernhardt Weber and they lived
together until their marriage was an
nulled Tuesday by Judge Ford. Mrs.
StrattOn declares that the first that
she knew that she had two husbands
was few days previous to the annul-
ment when she was in Chicago. AS
she was walking down Chicago street
she saw the man whom she supposed
was dead. She says that when she
discovered that he was still alive she
at once gave up her home with Weber.
It is said that Weber does not now
feel that his wife attempted to mis-
represent matters TO him. II is not
thought however by those who know
him that he will care to remarry the
woman whom he has just become sep
arated from.
