Dor Appropriations for Few Years.
Washington, Jan. l6.-ln urging on
the senate the need of commission
to report on military preparedness. or
for a permanent council of national
defense, Senator Lodge declared that
the national defense Of the country
is not only imperfect and unbalanc-
ed, but that IL has grave and i'm some
instances fatal deficiencies He des-
ignated what he termed many OF the
defects and said they are almost
wholly due to congress.
An adequate national defense, the
senator said. could be obtained with
out additional expenditures.

He warned that the ocean barrier
that defended the country in 1875 and
In 1912 had been destroyed by steam
and electricity. Unarmed, unready
undefended, the nation stands an in
vitation to aggression and attack. he
said
Senator Lodge asserted that not
only the regular army but the militia
is highly defective. adding that the
Panama canal was "miserably and
most inadequately protected" against
being blown up and blocked fol
months by agents or spies of a hostile
nation.
He said the recommendation of Sec
retary Garrison for a $4,000 increase
In men is very moderate.
Senator Lodge declared the army
is without sufficient artillery and ar
tillery ammunition, and said available
testimony shows that the guns in the
fortifications are of shorter range
than those carried by foreign war
ships of the latest designs.

Neu Athletic Event

a NEW athletic event has been
devised on the Pacific coast,
where the students of Occidental
College included in the interclass
meet programme a modified broad
figh jump. It's value for general
purposes is that il has the tendency
to make the broad jumpers 90 up
in the air and improve their style
for regular broad jumping. In the
competition three freshmen and
two juniors cleared feet 2 inches.
The conditions called for the COM
