LOCKING HORNS ON PREPAREDNESS.

Current dispatches from Washington that
the senate military committee has decided to
report Che Chamberlin military bill virtually as
it stands, emphasize the possible split be-
tween upper and lower house over this chief
of the "preparedness" measures.
The Hay bill, which is the house bill, pro
vides q maximum army strength of 10000,
whereas the Chamberlain bill, the senate meas
ure, aims at 178,0O0 peace strength within five
years, with war strength of 225000.
The chamberlain bill is interesting also be-
cause il is very largely along the lines which
Secretary Garrison considered SO essential that
he resigned when presidential support was
withheld from his plans. Senator Chamberlain
has provided for a federal volunteer force, but
the troublesome subjects of enlistment, train
ing, reserve, ETC., are left very much to the dis
cretionso of the president. Senator Chamber
lain's plans for industrial reserves are the
most far-reaching yet proposed in any official
form. These industrial reserves will be so ar
ranged that in time of emergency large num-
bers of men could be modified and set to work
along the lines of their professions or eallings,
either at the 'front.' along the lines of communi-
cation, or engaged in munitions manufacture,
etc.
The Chamberlain bill makes full provision
for liberalization of the national guard under a
pay provision, and for officers training corps
While it was regarded with some misgiyings
by army men on its first appearance early this
month, there seems to have been steady
growth of sentiment in its favor.
lnaslnuch as the senate will probably put
forward the Chamberlain, bill as against the
Hay bin of the house, the debates and parlia-
mentary skirmishings of the next few days
should be very interesting to Hawaii, where
few question the need of the country for mill
tary preparation much superior to that of the
present.

the submarine situation clearly and concisely.
The maze of notes, rejoinders, memoranda and
other diplomatic exchanges has grown so com
pIieated that the average citizen long ago lost
track Of the exact status of the general ques-
ton, and in fact, some of the diplomats appear
to have done SO also. Few people could tell
of hand just where this armed merchantmen

realize IS that the Teutons appear to be pro-
ceeding just about as they have done ever since
February Is, 1915, when the submarine cam

CONGRESS TOO WISE FOR TIE EXPERTS

Without SO much as a." Pardon me, Mr.. Dan
iels," the house of representatives last week
voted down the appropriation urged by the ma
tional administration for a government plant
to take nitrogen from the air.
This is one of the few pieces of legislation
fostered and backed by the naval advisory
board. 1t will be remembered that when Sec
retary Daniels propounded the idea of this
board and succeeded in getting to serve upon
it Edison and many others, the idea was Landed
far and wide Congress, it was pointed out,
could now get the perfected ideas of the brain
lest inventors, chemists, physicists in the
United States. And here at the proverbial first
crack out of the box, down goes the naval
boards plan for nitrogen plant, which is
start toward preparedness.
