URGES AN INCREASE
IN MILITARY FORCE
Representative Kahn Delivers
Address at Banquet of
Loyal Legion.

Representative julius Kahn of Cali
fornia delivered an address advocating
increased military preparedness for the
United States last night, at the thirty
fourth annual banquet of the Com
mandery of the District of Columbia of
the Military Order of the Loyal Legion
of the United States. Other addresses
at the banquet, which was held at
Rauschers, also touched OH the same
Wesley L. Jones of Washington. Sena-
tor c. f. Townsend of Michigan and
Capt John A. T. Hull, former Repre-
sentative in Congress from Iowa, but
the address of Representative Kahn
was the principal speech of the even
ing. and he took up, amid the enthu-
siastic applause of the diners, num-
Der of questions which have been pub
licly discussed recently, outlining, he
said. the views of a number of his
friends in Congress as well s his own.
Brig. Gen. Edward A. Goodwin. L. $.
A., retired, commander of the District
of Columbia branch of the legion. was
POSTMASTER. and before the speeches
began the colors were paraded through
the banquet hall by Lieut.. Thomas H.
Mckee. L. S. V, recorder of the COM
mandery, and received at the guest ia
BILE by Gen. Goodwin, while those at the
banquet stood and sang THE Star
Spangled Banner" in great outburst
banquet room were covered with gar
rison flags of the United States and
the colorS of commands which won
fame in the civil war
The United States stands alone
among the nations of the EARTH" Rep
resentative Kahn said. I'VE haven't a
single friend, with the exception of
China. and. China. having followed a
policy of disarmament for centuries, is
today helpless and impotent.
No Fear of "Hyphenated Citizen"
Mr.. Kahn predicted that Congress
will be obliged to pass legislation in
creasing the strength of the army and
navy of the United States. and he de-
clared that if the time comes when
the United States needs the help of all
citizens he has no fear of what has
been called the hyphenated citizen"
In the first place. he said. he did
not hyphenate himself. The politicians
did that. Every hyphenated American
is ever threatened, and shed his last
hearts blood in defense of his coun-
try"
Senator Jones. Senator Townsend and
capt Hull also spoke with commence
of the country's future, taking lessons
from the stories of the civil war vet
Grams who were present.
LAS you stood the test" Senator
Jones said to the veterans, so will
those who come after you stand it.
We trust war will never come to this
republic of ours. No man, can do more
for his country than to do his best
to keep the country out Of war, and
that is the ideal in this couptry now.
But if war should come. not one drop
of blood will ever be shed by the peo-
pie of this country on the altar of
greed, selfishness or commercialism."

SAY MARCH COMPOSER
| HAS BEEN M|S|NFORMED
Three Members of Congress Reply
on Receiving Music Based
on National Defense.

Among a number of replies received
the theme of national defense, from
representatives in Congress to whom
copies of the march and a letter on
the subject of military preparedness
for the United States had been mailed,
are three which express radical opin-
ions contrary to the advocates of fur
ther preparedness.
In reply Representative Warren
Worth Bailey of Pennsylvania wrote:
Your favor leads me to believe that
you have been very easily taken in by
the munition makers and war traf-
fickers. who have been telling us that
our country is utterly defenseless, in
face of the expert testimony of Ameri-
can naval officials to the effect that we
have a navy second only to that of
Great Britain, and of similar testimony
from the Secretary of War to the effect
that. man for man and gun for gun,
our army is equal to that of any other
on the face of the earth. / do not
know anything about the quality of
your National Defense March, but I
cannot believe that it is possible for it
to be so hopelessly discordant as the
views of the preparationists, which
range all the way from the thought of
the President, that we are in no danger
from any quarter, to the frenzied out
bursts of those who tell US that the
COLLINS will get us if we don't watch
out. When the defense question comes
up before Congress 1 shall seek my
inspiration elsewhere than at the founts
of hysteria.''

Representative +. w. Saunders of
Virginia said, in his reply:
Il note what you write about the de-
fenseless condition of our country. You

contrary. it is fully prepared. with it's

SAYS MORE LANDAT
CANAL IS REQUIRED
Gen. Edwards Thinks More
Territory Essential to De-
Tense of Entrances.

Acquisition of more territory at both
the Atlantic and Pacific entrances of
the Panama canal has been recommend
Gen. Edwards to increase the safety of
the waterway and strengthen its mill
tary defenses, at conferences with Act
ing Secretary Breckenridge.
The general said it was needful that
additional sites be acquired for the
establishment of new defenses. The in
creased distance and ranges at which
modern artillery is being used, he said
made it necessary for the United States
to broaden the territory now covered
by the Notifications at the two en-
frances of the canal.
Could Attack Twenty Miles Away.
1t was pointed out by the War De-
partment officials that when the ten
mile canal strip was acquired it was
thought to be sufficiently wide to per-
NIT protection of the canal by fortif-
cations on the zone itself 1t is said
the canal could be attacked by an
enemy force operating with long-range
guns some twenty miles away.
Gen. Clarence Edwards was form
merly chief Of the insular bureau of TIE

fore the Senate committee on military

HOLDS MR.. P|NCHOT
A VICTIM OF ERROR
Senator Underwood Replies to
Former Forester's Criticism
of Shields Bill.

Senator Underwood of Alabama to-
day made public a reply to the state
ment given out by Clifford Pinchot,
president of the National Conservation
Association. and published yesterday,
i'll which the latter attacked pending
water-power measures in Congress. The
Alabama Senator says he believes Mr..
Pinchots objections to the Shields
water-power bill are based largely upon
a misunderstanding of the actual pro-
visions of the bill.
"One of Mr.. Pinchot's main objec-
TONS" Senator Underwood says. in his
reply. lis based upon the idea that if
the bill passes it will enable great cor
poration to mpnopolize the water
powers of the country.

Security for Monopoly.

''If it is true that there is monop-
oily of the water powers OF the Cn1ted
States today, which l do not recognize
TO be fact, the failure to pass leg1s-
lation only makes that monopoly more
secure in it's actual vested interests
because the competition is throttled by
the failure to develop the water powers
on the naviSable streams OF the
United States.
There has been no development OF
the water powers on navigable streams
under existing legislation in the last
decade, and if the obstructionists who
have endeavored to prevent legislation
that will bring about the development
of the water powers of the navigable
streams of the country would succeed
in their efforts to block legislation
there would be no relief from the mo-
nopolh they complain about.

Under Government Control.

THE Shields bill does not grant
rights or privileges to any one, but
merely places in the hands of the Sec
rotary of War, acting through the gov
eminent engineers. the right to grant
permits to build dams for the purpose
of aiding navigation and the produc-
ton of hydro electric power on such
terms as the government in its Wis
dom shall agree to.
II am not prepared to agree to a
statement that implies that our gov
eminent. acting through the Secretary
of War and the engineers of the United
States, would agree to permits that
would continue or produce a monopoly
of the hydro-electric power of this
country.
Il cannot at this time go into a COM
plete analysis of the Shields bill. but
am of the opinion that any one who
will read the bill and compare it with
Mr. Pinchot's statement will find that
there are very few of his statements
that are sustained by the provisions of
the bill

HIS HARD TASK.

A friend once asked an aged man
what caused him to complain so
often at eventide of pain and weari-
ness. Alas" replied he, Il have

are my feet, which / must keep from
walking in the way Of sin; two hawks

serpent is my tongue, which | must

AND vENTILAT|NG OF ST. PAUL CATHEDRAL

A very complete and self-contained
modern steam-heating and ventilating
system with modern boiler plant is
installed for heating and ventilating
the st. Paul Cathedral and the two adj
joining parochial residences. The
boiler plant which is we'll ventilated
and we'll lighted is located about 100
feet in the rear of the Church and is
equipped with high pressure steam
boilers, smoke consuming devices, and
all other necessary modern ,auxiliar-
les to make the complete plant. The
boilers supply steam through piping
carried in tunnels through the Church.
A hot water converter supplies hot
water to heating systems in the two
residences. The boiler plant is
quite large and is built SO that
generating equipment for supplying
current for lighting the Cathedral and
residences can be installed at any
future date.
The piping system for heating the
Church consists of a through pipe
modern system of vacuum heating
with drain traps at radiating units,
indirect units and drip points. The
piping is so arranged that all con
densation drains from the Church to
in the boiler room.
The Cathedral proper is heated by

CAT TALES.

Two stories Of the intelligence and
sympathy Of our feline friends are
told in connection with London
Tower.
Southampton was prisoner in the
Tower with the Earl Of Essex during
Elizabeths reignJh In some strange
way or by some llnrecognized faculty
a fayorite cat of his found his abode
and suddenly appeared to him, having
made an entrance down the chimney.
After his release by James J., South
ampton had his picture painted with
his faithful friend at his side. The
portrait can be seen today at Wilbeck
Abbey. Isl

The other tale is of Sir Henry Wy
att; who was committed to the Tower
during the reign of Richard III, and
suffered much from want Of clothing
and food. He would have persisted il
cat had not come. down into his
room and warmed him by lying on his
breast and saved him from starvation
by bringing him an occasional pigeon
caught on the leads. Although the
keeper was under orders not to inn
prove his food, he agreed to cook
anything which Sir Henry provided,
and the pigeons which the cat brought
saved his life. He also had picture
painted showing the cat Offering a
pigeon through the bars Of his cell.

Every woman should know that
Minnesota" macaroni, besides being
so delicious, is also four times as
nutritious as beef steak and six times
as nutritious as potatoes.
Minnesota" macaroni cont ain S
more proteids than most foods and is
therefore more strengthening and
less fattening. II it is served often
in place OF meat the whole family
will be much healthier. And besides,
it will reduce the cost Of living as
Minnesota" macaroni costs only one
cent dish.
There is a big difference in maca-
ROM as sold in the stores. Insist on
Minnesota" macaroni, made from
genuine Durum wheat with all the
wonderfully nourishing Gluten left in.
You can get it in long pieces or cut
into uniform short lengths.
