N0N-PARTISAN
SUPPORT URGED
MINORITY LEADER MANN PLEADS
FOR SOLID SUPPORT OF MIL
ITARN PREPAREDNESS.
Coming On Eve OF Presidents TRIO Re.
marks Are Filled With Sig
niicance-No Partic-
uisr Plan.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.-Unquali-
nedly non-partisan support OF military
preparedness vas urged today by
Minority Leader Mann in a ringing
speech on the floor OF the house. He
was heartily and repeatedly applauded
by both sides OF the chamber.
While it has been understood that
most OF the Republicans favored army
and navy increases, until today none
Of their leaders had spoken on the
subject. Consequently. coming. as il
lid on the eve OF the presidents de-
parture on a preparedness speaking
tour, Mr. Mann's address was regarded
as particularly significant. He re-
marked himself hat he always has
been known as a small" army and
nav man.
Representative Mann based his plea
on the ground hat II behooves the
United States now TO prepare for any
e~ventualities hat may come as a re-
suit OF the European war. He declared
that he saw no immediate danger OF
war and hoped that peace might pre-
vail. but that the danger Of the United
States being drawn into the present
conflict or one that might result from
IL was too great to be d~isregarded.
Il have much more fear in the end
OF war with England than / have OF
war with Germany" he said. That was
his only comment on this phase OF his
subject Later he declined TO elabor-
ate on his remarks.
Mr. Mann urged no particular pre-
paredness plan. He said he favored a
standing army OF 10000 or 300. 600. or
even half a million men, better coast
defenses and a "a navy which will be
able 10 defend US on the sea" He
promised TO 20 into these details at
greater length later.

TO CUT DOWN
COST OF FUEL

WASHINGTON. Jan. 25-Efforts OF
the navy department TO cut down the
COST OF fuel and Jther materials used
In maintenance Of operation OF war
ships were outlined 10 the house ma
val committee today by Rear Admiral
McGowan. paymaster general. He was
questioned at length by committeeman
in connection with the naval appro-
priation bill.
Admiral MCGOWAN said Oil was fifty
per cent more efficient than coal as
fuel for warships. but hat at prevail
ing prices coal was cheaper for the
Auanttc fleet. The reverse was true
In the Pacific. he said. but opening OF
the Alaska coal fields by completion
OF the government railway there was
expected TO again make coal the logi-
cal fuel for the Pacific fleet. lie said
the department paid an average OF
10 cents a gallon for the 500. 600 gal
Ions OF gasoline USED last year. but
that prices now We're soaring.
The paymaster generals statement
that the only coal he knew OF that
was acceptable to the navy now came
from the Pocahontas, New River,
Georges Greek and Pennsylvania
fields drew questions from sever9
committeeman. Representative Oliver
suggested that mines made accessible
recently by Improvement Of the Black
Warrior river I'm Alabama should be
worth considering.
Representative Galloway OF Texas.
asked why If oil was more satisfac-
tory on the Pacific and coal on the
Atlantic the Oil burning ships were
stationed off the west coast and the
coal burners off the east coast. He
replied hat disposition OF the fleet
was a matter outside his province.
