BY Edward Keating, Congressman,
Third Colorado Congressional Dis
trict

Washington, D. C.-No one is so
well equipped to defend President
Wilson'S policy of preparedness as
the president himself.
Addressing the members of the
Manhattan Club in New York City
op the evening of November 4th
last, the president said:
mo thoughtful man feels any
panic haste i'll this matter, (nation-
al preparedness). The country is
not threatened from any quarter.
She stands in friendly relations
with all the world. Her resources
are known and her self-respect and
her capacity to care for her own
citizens and her own rights There
is no fear among us. Under the new
world conditions we have become
thoughtful Of the things which all
reasonable men consider necessary
for security and self-dcfense on the
part of every nation confronted with
the great enterprise of human liber-
ty and independence. That is all"
The president then proceeded to
give his views concerning "the
things which all reasonable men
consider necessary for security and
self-defense" He indorsed the plans
of his secretary of the navy and his
secretary of war for the increase of
the navy and the army.
These plans call for the expendi-
ture of about 100000 a year in
addition to the s250,OOO,O0O which
we are now spending on preparations
for war-a grand total of $45O,OOO,-
900 a year
Secretary Daniels believes we
should have navy which will be
easily the second navy in the
wcrld Now the experts are unable
TO agree as to our naval rank among
the nations of the earth. Some con-
tend that our fleets are inferior to
those of Japan and Germany, while
others of equal rank insist that our
jackies could wipe out the fighting
ships of any power, except Great
Britain. Secretary Daniels would
end that debate and make our navy
so large that only England would
be our superior on the seas.
Secretary Garrison says that at
the present time we have standing
army of about 100000 officers and
men. Most of these are required in
our overseas" possessions = those
costly white elephants bequeathed to
us by the Republican party 1t costs
US little over s1OO,OOO,OOO to
maintain this force.
The secretary suggests that our
standing army should be increased to
l4l,000 officers and men and that
the period of enlistment should be
reduced from three to two years,
but that for four years after his dis
charge the soldier should be in the
reserves. subject to call in case of
war
In addition he would increase the
appropriation for the national guard |
from $6.600,000 to $1O,00O.O0O per
annum. thus greatly Strengthening
that branch of the military service,
and giving the nation 10000 fight
Ing men, OF course, the guard |
would continue to be controlled by |

lotal 670,S34 men
After a few years there would al.
SO be very large reserve, composed
| OF ex-members of the various units
In ten years the total would pro-
badly be above one million trained
men of fighting age.
To officer this army the secretary
plans to increase the number of
cadets at West Point and to provide
military training for students at
colleges and universities.
The Strengthening of our coast
notifications and the accumulation
of vast stocks of munitions of all
kinds are important parts of the
Garrison scheme.
Altogether, he wants to spend
100000 the first year, s213,-
100000 the second year and s22S,-
100000 for the third and fourth
years and $1S2,OOO,OOO each year
thereafter.
! hiS 10 on du dllCt Oh from SSU,-
100000 to $12O,OOO,OOO year over
current expenditures, or practically
doubling the cost of maintaining the
army.
The supporters of the president g
plan argue that it will prepare the
nation to resist any hostile force
which could be hurled against us
and, at the same time, does not
commit us to militarism.
That the president believes such
preparation to be needful is evil
denced by this passage in his Man
haitian Club speech:
Il would not feel that / was dis
charging the solemn obligation I
owe the country were l not to speak
in terms of the deepest solemnity of
the urgency and necessity for pre-
pairing ourselves to guard and pro-
tect the rights and privileges of our
people, our sacred heritage from the
fathers who struggled to make us an
independent nation"
Next week we will consider the
plea of the militarists, who declare
that the presidents program is in
adequate and that those who oppose
big army and big navy are molly
coddles and poltroons.

Wilson's Policy Of Preparedness


The secretary's third suggestion is
unique one. He plans the oreani-
zation of federal militia to be
known as the Continental army. The
members of this force would enlist
for SIX years-three with the colors
ana three on furlough. While they
were with the colors" they would
be required to give two months in
each year to their military duties
For the rest of the time they would
follow their ordinary vocations. This
army to be recruited at the rate of
$4,000 men a year for three years.
After that it would be maintained
at the limit of 100000.
If the secretarys plans are APPROX
ed by congress, the nation will have
the following military units:
regular army ...... 141,S34
National guard ...... $4,000
Continental army 100000

Cupid Active During the War


The Berliners, notwithstanding the
war, are still marrying and giving in
marriage at almost their usual rate. In
December the number of marriage IL
censes issued was 1,421, which was
only liz less than for December, 1918.
The number of babies born in Decem-
ber was also about the same as for the
previous year. On the other hand, the
deaths numbered SOC more than in De-
cember, 1918, which was probably due
to the mortality in the numerous mill
tary hospitals located here. Traffic on
the street ears shows only moderate
reduction. AT the savings banks still
more satisfactory showing is made De-
posits amounted IT, $1,420,00O, which
exceeded those of December, 1918, by
some $4,000. The activity of the po-
lice in watching over the people ap-

the previous year, for there was no

Tattered German Flag in London

A tattered German flag, the first
trophy of the kind to be put on public
display in London, has been sent to the
recruiting headquarters of the London
rife brigade by Corporal T. H. Jenkin.
"For seven weeks" writes the cor
poral, "this flag waved in front of the
barbed wire of the German trenches.
Our regiments in the trenches opposite
sent bullets into it. The flag was rid

flew was splintered, but the flag re-

morning, an hour before daylight,
went out to inspect the German sniping
pits, and found myself not far away
from that hated flag Creeping eau

the face of fusillade from the trench,

BIOLOGISTS NEEDED AT THE FRONT

Scientists seem to be assuming very heavy respon-
sbilities in the present war Now that the outcome
of battle depends not so much on the bravery of
vaantly charging soldiers as on the knowledge of
cool-headed men of science the latter have taken
their places in large numbers in the ranks of oppos-
ing armies Mathematicans, physicists chemists
and meteorologsts have been giving their services
to aid in taking the lives of foes and in saving the
lives of countrymen. 1t has now been suggested by
German professor that biologists be added to the
Kaiser's forces the field.
1t certainly seems since the digging of trenches
has become so popular in this war, that geological
knowledge in the various armies would be inds-
pensabe. Trenches cannot be conveniently dug at
any place generals tactics happen to provide for
such excavations, because ground conditions not
always favorable. When Nature fashioned the
earth crust in Belgium she did not take into con-
sderation the future conveniences of army strate-
gists, and consequence some knowledge of her
formations is surely needed by the men who direct
the digging of the trenches
That army commanders should be familiar with
the construction of the crust of the earth at the
of activities is too much to expect Special
lied knowledge such as that of expert geologists is
necessary to reveal the character of land strange
to unscentifc invaders.
Ge0loglcal maps may OF course be available: but
they may be perpexing is the actual territory
which they try to depict, more so. Ordi-
nary generals can hardly get very clear understand
ings of ground conditions with which they must
contend except by procuring the services of men
who have the technical knowledge requisite for the
Interpretation of old maps and tie construction OF
new ones.
There no doubt biologists now at the front
giving valuable advice on locations for trenches
and adding timely suggestions during the digging
many, however, at least not in the German army is
evident from the suggestion of the German pro-
fessor that the services of these particular men
of science be called for careful professor would
hardly advise the of geologsts in the war if
good use were already being made of them and if
he did, his recommendations would not have been
given the wide publicity they have received.
The air raids during the have been depend
ent for their on the calculations of meteor
ologsts; they were not attempted until these scen-
fists gave detailed directions based ON careful
study of the conditions of the atmosphere The
digging of trenches will doubt soon be under the
direct supervision of geoogists who will make care
full preliminary surveys of the land 1t is almost
certain that science will make marked progress as
the meteorologists and the biologists and all the
rest of the oogists" during the continuation of
the conflict draw upon their ingenuities to over
come the unprecedented obstacles which they will
meet in the zones

NIELSEN-CANz RECITAL
World Famous Artists at Chestnut
Street Auditorium This
Evening

1t is an interesting coincidence that
John Mccormack, the famous Irish
tenor, yesterday sang at his tenth
New York City concert of this season,
series of songs composed by Rudolph
CAM, the pianist who will play at the
CAM Nielsen concert at Chestnut
street hall this evening. Mccormack,
who delighted an immense audience
here some weeks ago, never sings any
thing but the very best compositions.
That he Incorporated those of GAM in
his program at Carnegie Institute yes
terday indicates the high standing of
Ganz as composer as we'll as a
pianist.
Few people know that GAM, who
was born in Zurich, Switzerland, in
1877, began his musical career as a
violinist, attaining a high degree of
proficiency on that instrument. Gradu.
ating from that into the company OF
the worlds most celebrated pianists
was long step, but one which he TOOK
easily. He has never lost interest Ill
composition and has composed some
remarkable fine works for the piano
as well as not few songs of high
standard. Into his work on the piano
GAM carries the soul of the violinist
and the poet. While his technique Is
beyond reproach and the envy of his
contemporaries, it is in expression that
he excells. 1t is not for nothing that
GAM has been termed the "pianist
with message "a message his play
ing is, indeed, a message to the human
heart, of love, of tenderness, of high
ambition and of lowly humbleness, of
every sentiment the human soul knows
and entertains. That is GAM, who
plays at Chestnut street hall tonight.
Miss Nielsen, noted the world over
as grand opera prima donna, has had
perhaps the most varied career that
any singer on the stage to-day has ex-
perienced. Her program tonight will
be one of remarkable range and
beauty. She will sing the classic com
positions of grand opera as few in the
world can sing them, and she will sing
as well the dear old songs that have
come down through the generations; !;
the songs of heart interest that never
lose their hold on the public. AS any
one who has heard Miss Nielsen s
talking machine records know, she is
at home in this style of music as much
as in grand opera.
The concert will begin this evening
at S.15. Special arrangements have
been made to avoid crowding going in
and out.

rich metal mines and of the abundant forests that
will be made accessible by the Federal govern
ment s five hundred mile Alaska railroad.
1t has been nearly half century since the United
States made its very fortunate purchase from the
Russian government. The initial cost was insignif-
can't and the cost of maintenance, so to speak, has
been at the minimum. Improvements have only
just begun to be made as they should be made for
the development of the great northwestern corner
of the American continent, the corner which is
secreting SO much god silver, copper, coal, lead,
tin, MARBLE petroleum, and other treasure which
man may have from the earth for the digging
1t is big distance, to be sure, from the mines of
the far north to the centres of industry in the United
States, yet modern invention annihilates distance.
After sufficient capital has been invested in
of transportation between this country and Alaska,
the latter may be no farther from Pennsylvania
than Maine in the colonial stage coach days.
Ready communication between distant points does
not depend so much ON the number of intervening
geographical miles sueh facilities as connect
ing railroad telegraph and telephone lines.
Although the interior resources of Alaska have
been neglected till now, they will be gradually de-
veoped when facilities for transportation to the
seaboard can be taken advantage of. The fuel
stored by Nature in Alaska is needed on the Pacific
coast, and the secreted gold and silver could no
doubt also be used to some advantage.
