No one else personifies the. issue
which the Republican party must
make as he personifies ii. No one
else presents so effective an antithe-
sis to Wilson as he. If We are Ameri-
cans, real Americans, the Colonel is
our man. While timid politicians were
consulting the census hooks and
counting the German vote he spoke
and the country hardened. He is
the leader in the fight for Ameri-
canism, and We don't believe in
changing leaders when we are going
TO the front.
We are for Colonel Roosevelt In
spite of the fact that We were
against him four years ago. No one
fought him harder than we. No one
will fight harder for him. 1t has

WILL REPRESENT BOARD
IN MICHIGAN TEST CASE
M. C. Elliott Goes to Lansing to
Defend as interviewer Attack on
Federal Reserve Act.

Milton c. Elliott, counsel for the fed.
eral reserve board, is to leave for
Lansing, Mich. tonight, to represent
the board at the hearing Thursday be-
fore the supreme court of the state in
the case to test the right of national
banks to exercise the powers of trus-
tee, executor. administrator or regis
trar of stocks and bonds under the au-
thority given in section II of the
currency law. While the First Ma
tional Bank of Bay City is the respon
dent in the case. brought by the attor-
ney general of the state in the interest
of several state chartered trust COM
panes which attack the constitution
ality of the provision of the act. the
federal reserve board has interviewed.
brief has been prepared by Mr..
Elliott, in conjunction with Joseph r.
Cotton, associate special counsel for
the board. The contention is that the
state courts are without Jurisdiction
to Gust corporation organized under
the laws of the United States, or to en-
join such corporation from exercising
any or all of it's franchises within the
border of the state.
The constitutionality of the provision
of the currency act is defended as a
well settled right of Congress to incor-
vide for their preservation by vesting
them with powers deemed necessary
for their existence as corporate
identity; and it is set forth that the
provision attacked is not an unreason-
able exercise of the discretion of Con-
gress.
Maintaining that the federal law is
supreme within its sphere, 1t is also
contended that there is no invasion of
state right by the provision.

Agreement of Entente Allies.

The right to declare a formal block
ade of the central powers by a more
rigid application of the ultimate desti
nation doctrine has been agreed upon
by the entente allies, according to in
formation in diplomatic circles here to-
day.
The doctrine is expected to be pro-
claimed in the near future. the delay
being attributed to the reluctance of
France and possibly Italy to enforce SO
broad an Interpretation of the rights of
a belligerent in this respect.
Exchanges on the subject are taking
place between the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of the allies here and, in an
informal way, between the diplomats
and State Department officials. The
object is to sound out public sentiment
in the United States.
1t is regarded here as virtually GER
tain that application of the blockade
to neutrals will result in the United
States opposition being supplemented
by the protests of Holland. Denmark
and Sweden and possibly Norway. 1t
is pointed out by one of the interested
diplomats here, however, that the pro-
mitigation of blockade really would
not very materially change present
conditions so far as the admission of
American goods into the Teutonic
countries is concerned.

Mistaken Idea.

The idea has prevailed that if we
give man a gun and put uniform on
his back we will have soldier. But
I say to YOU that if we give man a
gun and uniform and send him to the
firing lines we come very nearly COM
hitting murder of our own people, if
that man is not trained.
More and more | come to the conclu-
sion that the only efficient way to es-
rablish reserve force that can come
to the relief of the United States in a
time of national crisis or peril is by
the institution of system of COM
pulsory military training. We should
let our young men understand that
service to the country is something
each man owes. not something for
which he is entitled to money"

All traffic over Aqueduct bridge may

bridge resulted in his report to the
War Department that he does not con-
slider the bridge safe for the traffic

The District Commissioners are more
concerned over the Aqueduct bridge
problem than at any time since the
question of its safety has been under
consideration. They are convinced tina I
the piers of the structure are in such
condition that they might give way
during an ice flow. and the chances are
they will follow Col. Flagler's advice
If there is an ice movement of any
magnitude.

One day last week one of the Peters.

woman of the village. Naturally she
was trying her best to find out just

also found accommodation. Finally she

he continued.

Renewed Interest Follows.
That was all the information the fair
fnauisitor could get out of him. But
Quantico people who go down to the
station to see the trains go through
and that includes almost all of them
watch the express trains and the Pull
mans now as they whiz through and
say:
"Nevah you mind: befo' summah gifts

Ample rail facilities and deep water
right up to the wharf make Quantico
an ideal place from a shipping point or
view. At high tide the water in the
Potomac is about thirty feet deep at

To a point some distance above the

twenty to twenty-five feet deep, and
residents of the village say this can
easily be dredged to a thirty-foot chan

May Further Limit Vehicles.

Another recommendation of the army
engineer which the Commissioners have
under consideration is that further
reduction be ordered in the weight of
vehicles permitted to use the bridge.
Recently the Commissioners began
strict enforcement OF regulation re-
stricting use of the bridge to vehicles
weighing six tons or less.
This action evoked strenuous complaint
from merchants who had been operating
much heavier trucks over the structure
Col. Flaglers advice is that in the in
terest of safety. the ma ximum weight of
wheeled vehicles permitted on the bridge
be three tons for anmal-drawn vehicles,
exclusive of the animal, and four tons
for motor vehicles. Adoption of this rec
concentration may be ordered, it was
said today by member of the board Of
Commissioners.
The Commissioners are so impressed
with the necessity Of safeguarding traffic
lover the bridge that regulations greatly
restricting its uses may be looked for
In their estimates they have asked
for $4,000 for plans for new bridge,
but this was before the Flagler report
was made. Had the results of the
tlagier investigation been known when
the estimates were being prepared the
Commissioners, 1t is learned, in all
proba bility would have asked for an i'm
mediate appropriation for beginning
work on new bridge. instead of sub
hitting a recommendation which will
involve years delay in the prepare
ton of plans
