Says Secretary Garrison in
a Report on United
States Needs
HE WOULD EXTEND
MILITIA SYSTEM
If a Crisis Occurred, We
Would Be Unable
to Mobilize

Washington, D. c., Jan. 7.-Secretary
of War Garrison, in his report to the
House committee on military affairs
yesterday pronounced the present mill
tary defenses Of the United States as
totally inadequate"
He also prophesied the "ehaos" which
a crisis would produce if we were m-
prepared at least to systematic the mo-
bilization of our strength
Mr.. Garrison recommended a regular
army OF l4l 600 men and a continental
army Of 100000 yielding a total of more
than 100000 men for momentary call.
Not only would il be months before
green recruits would be trained for bat
tie, while the enemy was having his way
with us, but in the opinion of Mr.. Garri-
son, under present conditions, it would
even be months before volunteer organ
izations could be rounded up and made
ready to take training-not to speak of
the enormous deficiency in the present
equipment.
In addition the secretary believes in
extending federal aid to the National
Guard on a greater scale than before
and recruiting this up to full compile
ment, but owing to constitutional OBJ
stacles he does not believe that the milf
tia can be used beyond the limitations
prescribed by law. 1t is necessary,
therefore, for the government to have a
capable reserve of its own.
The secretary of war is convinced that
his programme is as adequate as prac-
ticable to offer to the people at this time,
although he hints that in the failure of
such voluntary measures some form of
CONSUMPTION may be found to be in
evitable. But that is remote POSSIBLE
ity. if, in his opinion, Congress meets
the situation along the lines he suggests
One of the most striking points made
by the secretary was that while the pres
ent total of the United States army in
this country, Alaska, the Philippine is
lands, China, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the
canal zone is l05,003, the area to be de
Tended Of the constinental United States

U. S. STEEL COR. RAISES WAGES.
"Great Prosperity Inspires Help for
Employees.

New York, Jan. As a result of the
great prosperity prevailing in the steel
industry Judge Ebert II. Gary. chairman
of the board of the United States Steel
corporation, announced yesterday an I'M
crease of 10 per cent in the wages of
common laborers of the corporation, to
take effect Feb. l.
In other departments wage increases
are proportioned equitably. In the min
ing companies owned by the corporation
wage adjustments are under considera
ton. In announcing the increase Judge
Cary said:
In view of the prosperous conditions
now existing it was unanimously voted
at meeting of the presidents of the
iron and steel companies held to-day to
recommend that there should be made
adjustments of wage rates to take effect
Feb. and at subsequent meeting of
the financing committee it was unani
mously decided to adopt the recommen-
dations of the presidents.
ut is proposed to increase the rates
paid to common laborers about 10 per
cent. As to other departments increases
win be equitably proportional. Adjust
ments in wage rates in mining companies
owned by the corporation are under con-
About 100000 men will be affected by
the increase, it was said at the Office
of the corporation, and it will mean an
addition of more than sl0,000,000 annual
ly to the payrolls.

BEST LIVER AND
BOWEL LAXATIVE
FOR FAMILY USE
"Cascarets" Regulate Women, Men and
Children Without
Injury
Take When Bilious, Headachy, for Colds,
Bad Breath, Sour Stom-
ach

Instead of nasty harsh pills, salts, cas-
tor oil or dangerous calomel. why don't
you keep Cascarets handy in your home !?
Casearets act on the liver and 80 feet of
bowels SO gently you don't realize you
have taken a eathartic, but they act
thoroughly and can be depended upon
when good liver and bowel cleansing is
necessary--they move the bile and poi
son from the bowels without gripping and
sweeten the stomach. You eat one or two
at night like candy, and you wake up
feeling fine, the headache, biliousness
bad breath, coated tongue, sour stomach
constipation, or bad cold disappears.
Mothers should give cross, sick, feverish,
or bilious children a whole Cascaret any
time-they are harmless and safe for the
little folks.--Adv.

WILL START AN
 INVESTIGATION
TRADE BOARD AND JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TO PROBE
 THE INCREASE

Investigations to determine the cause of soaring gasoline prices probably will be conducted simul- taneously by two government agen- cies. Federal trade commission in vestigators, it was learned yester- day, already are at work. and Pe- partment of Justice officials are considering an inquiry.
 The trade commission seeks to ascertain the truth of charges that gasoline prices have risen sharply only at points where the bigger oil concerns have no opposition, and that prices are near normal at com retitive points. Its investigation will turn too, to the supply of crude petroleum to determine whether there is an actual shortage, which has been offered as a cause for price increases.
 The investigators are waiting publication within few days of theegologcal surveys estimate of the 1915 production of crude petrol cum, which they expect to show an increased output. Production in 1914 exceeded that in 1913, and the last bulletin issued by the survey showed production for the first, half of 1915 to be not less than 145,000000 barrels. compared with a total of about 29O,0O0,O0O for the entire previous year.
 The bulletin closed with this statement:
 "The persistent flood of low priced but relatively high-grade oil from the Oklahoma fields prevent ed permanent advance, though tenn porary fluctuations were noted in the market for grade of petroleum from other regions during the half year in review. The corresponding period in 1914 recorded a notable unstable market."- Washington Post

GERMAN WOMEN DIG SUBWAY
(New York Timesl

Loiters about the new Berlin sub way works see a strange sight. The other night some thirty young and middle-aged women, barehead- ed, despite the wintery night air. rhythmicahy tossed shovels of sand into a string of pressed steel dirt cars. They were a small part of the night shift working on the new Berlin subway, which now is being dug principally by women. They toiled ten feet below the sidewalk level and gang of Irishmen or Ital- ians could rot make tho subway sand fly faster. 4 husky fore woman set the pace.
 Everywhere, out of sight. where operations have made greater pro- gress and the ditch Is timbered over, several hundred women were digging just as effic.cn' Still other new uses for women are to be noted with the engineering force which is tunneling the Spree, with out stopping barge traffic.
 Here are women engaged in sink ing shafts, women iron workers, women riviters and pipe filters, women mechanics and women en- gagged in pumping operations. They are directed by men who serve as working models.

AN AMERICAN REGIMENT
Now Being Trained in Canada for
 the Great War
(From the Boston Heraldl

(Irom the Boston Heraldl
 A former mayor of Boston tells of a letter recently received from a nephew m Canada. The young man was accosted on the street of a large city acd urged to enlist. His reply was, T am an American. The recruiting sergeant looked him over and turned away wi.h a sheer. "Well I'm sorry for yoI, then, he sad And that remark .'yr es the young uian i, typical of the Canad- lau attltu ie { ward those .r.m .a,s side of the border-general con- tempt for Americans because We are not joining them in the war that the British world firmly be- lieves is in our defense as well as for it's own. Correspondents in England and France send home the same story. It is not pleasant to know that Germany and its allies hate us because We are doing so much for their enemies, and at the same time Great Britain and France and their allies hold us in con- .empt because We are not standing side by side with them in the ac- tive warfare, it Is the penalty of being unneutral citizens of neu- tral nation. It is situation full of unplasant possibilities of many kinds when peace finally comes a. gain.
 Yet Canada is welcoming many thousands of good fighting Amerf- cans to the big army that it s raising at this time one whole regiment is being traind in Canada, the Ninety-seventh Canadian, of which every individual among it's 1,200 officers and men is a citizen of the United States. If We feel any special degree of satisfaction that this is so, We should remember that it is only the payment of a debt that We have owed Canada for more than half a century. The rec ords at Washington show that nc fewer than 68,000 Canadians enlisted in +.he Union armies. About 2. third of these were in New York regi- ments, and most of the rest in New England regiments. To be sure, large numbers of them came across the border to offer their services after the bounties were alluringly large, and thousands of them ac- quired the unsavory distinction of being ''bounty jumpers,' but many other thousands proved brave and enthuiastis soldiers. What Cana da has done in the past year and a half, and the part played in by young men of our own country, helps throw little light on our own problem of military preparedness.
