about time the city paid less atten-
ton to making macadam for machines,
and gave more time to sidewalks for
mere man. Lessen the expenditures
for roads and put some Of the money
appropriated for improvements on

and vote less for modern macadam
and something for substantial side

1t would be a mistake If the steam
boat lines in New England were taken
away from the New York, New Haven

The freight conditions would also be
crippled more than at the present time,
- this is possible. In one sense the
railroad company cannot be blamed.
They have no assurance what the gov
eminent will do next, and there Is no
object for the company officials to go
ahead and buy more boats with this

Work of Redraftins the Measures May Be Begun Next Week.

Washington. Jan. 24.-Hearings on the Administrations army increase bills may be concluded by the senate miIi- tary committee and work of redrafting the measures begun early next week. Chairman Chamberlain today urged the committee members to devote as much time as possible to the hearings, with view to their completion this week. There is no indication when the house committee will complete it's work.
 Major General Arthur Murray, re- tired, and Brigadier General Crozier, chief of ordnance, were before the sem ate and house committees, respective ly, today. General Murray presented memorandum he prepared several months ago at the request of Speaker Clark, setting forth his views as to what could constitute adequate de- fense. The general said that for the actual defense of the United States territory alone, and without consider ing maintenance of the Monroe doc Urine, or protecting the interests of American citizens abroad, a regular army virtually three times its present size and three strong fleets for the navy would be necessary.

Rear Admiral McGowan Declares They Are the Best Fed Body of Men in the World

 When any of our. men has eaten what's on the mess table," he added, he's had mighty good meal, and he's satisfied
 While the naval ration costs 36 cents per day per man and the army ration about 26 or 27 cents, the admiral de- clared he never would, under any cir cumstances, recommend any lower quality or smaller quantity of food for the sailor
 Representative Kelley of Michigan asked whether the United States suc- cessfully could send 100000 soldiers to the Philippines and properly care for their provisioning.
 tions compared to the much smaller number of men we have to feed in the feet" the admiral replied. but the feeding of 100000 men is no greater problem than feeding 2,000 if we have the same sources of supply and refrig- eration. The distance is no problem" !"
 Admiral McGowan said it cost from $18,000 to s25,000 to educate each cadet at Annapolis, and that the results were worth it. Of the $130,000 appropriated last year for the new naval reserve, only SIC, 900 has been spent, he explain ed, as only 176 men had responded in the first six months of this fiscal year.
 The admiral concurred in a recom- mendation made by Secretary Daniels in letter read by Chairman Padgett that navy uniforms be made in gov ernment factory. The letter said the csr- ro11 1nd Rln inO fn nfn nf bn Brooklyn navy yard did no more than cut materials. MT. Daniels asked for an appropriation of $50,000 from the clothing and small stores fund to alter the plant at Brooklyn and to equip it for complete manufacture of clothes, He said the Charleston, S.

BRITAIN'S TRADING WITH

Vigorous Representations to Be Made
 by the United States.

Washington, Jan. 24-Great Bri- tain's trading with the enemy act IS vigorously opposed by the United States in representations prepared to- day for presentation to the British foreign office. They are expected to go forward immediately The state department considers that grave and unJustifiable injury to American com merce would follow should an attempt be made to enforce provisions affect ing business in this country.
 The trading with the enemy'' act prohibits persons resident in Great Britain from trading with any corpor- atlons or individuals which are en- gagged in supplying the Teutonic allies or have been dealing with them. The proposition of the United States is that aside from a lack of legal au- thority for the proposed interference with trade, the relations of American and German capital and of German capital with American manufacturing industries are such that it would be impossible to successfully enforce it without greatly damaging interests in this country.
