DIG SNOW STORM COSTS
NEW YORK ABOUT 100000
Foot of Snow Falls in Few
Hours and Traffic Is
Blocked
(By Associated Press.)


NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The first real
snowstorm of the winter will cost New
York City about $500, 900. A foot of snow
fell yesterday between a. m. and p. m
and the street cleaning department will
be busy for two or three days carting it
away.
The fall was the greatest here in any
day vsince December 1927, 1880, when
j. inches fell in "a hours.
Traffic Is still blocked today owing to
the shortage of men to clear the streets.
Two years ago 10000 men were enrolled
as emergency snow handlers. One year
ago the rolls of the street cleaning de-
partment carried 5000. But this year
only 5000 emergency men are enrolled
and only half of these answered the call
for work last night. These laborers were
assisted by between 1000 and 5000 stu
dents of local colleges who went to work
at IL D. m and received 80 cents an
hour.
The storm in this vicinity caused COM
paratively little trouble to the steam
railroads and the telephone and tele-
graph companies. The ease with which
the local telephone company now defeats
a big snowstorm was pointed out last
night at a dinner of the engineering de-
partment of the American Telephone and
Telegraph company. 1t was said that in
1882 a small sleetstorm put every tele-
phone line in New York out of commits
sion save one and that one was less than
a block long. The telephone lines here
are0now underground .

GARRISON ASSAILS
CHALLENGES OF
NEED OF DEFENSE
Little Short of Treason to
Question Governments Pow
er and imperative Necessity
to Make Preparation
CBy AssOcr ne. Press.l

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.JTo question
the power and imperative necessity of
the national government to make prep
aration for defense lis little short OF
treason" IL was declared here Saturday
by former Secretary of War Linlney NJ.
Garrison in an address on National
ISM" before the Lawyers club. After
reviewing the passing of many powers
and duties from the state governments
to the national government, he said
that, in the matter Of preparedness. the
central government "fiinched and fall
tered and sought to pass its neglected
duty TO the states" the result being "a
lamentable failure"
From the viewpoint of national en-
tity," Mr.. Garrison said, "nationalism is
the possession of and the exercise by
the national government of every power
and function necessary to perform
properly the collective duties and to
fulfill completely the collective obliga-
tions of the nation from the viewpoint
of the citizen; nationalism is the yield
ing, not in theory, but in practice, OF
his mind and his heart and his spirit to
the welfare of the nation, the contribu-
ton of his material means and his phys
ical force to its preservation and de-
Tense. 1t means service and sacrifice,
devotion and loyalty"
ments threatening the integrity of the
nation" he said, lis that which utilities
the natural and universal adherence or
war as a reason for not preparing for
its possibilities"
"Self-defense is the cardinal duty of
a nation" he said. The national gov
eminent is the only agency that can
make proper preparation. To deny its
power or TO question the imperative
necessity of its exercising that power is
little short of treason.
This is a duty which the national
government has neglected. In this par
ticular the modern tendency has been
reversed. The national government
finched and Saltered and sought to pass
its neglected duty to the states. The
result was bound to be- a lamentable
failure"
Mr.. Garrison went on to speak for
the avoidance by the United States of
European entanglements, saying that
any proposition which requires this
country to enter an alliance with the
other nations of the world land to en-
gage to join with those who side with
the belligerent found to be righteous
against the belligerent found to be
wrongful. should be tested in the fiery
furnace of fierce debate and discussion
before il should be acted upon
If the United States. he said, engaged
as has been suggested in a universal
alliance, "she is perforce party to
every quarrel the wide world over. No
acceptable reason occurs to me which
warrants or justifies the United States
in becoming by its own voluntary act
party to all the quarrels of all the ma
lions of the earth"

is known the Germans had five divis-
ions engaged, from every regiment Of
which prisoners were taken.
1t is reported without confirmation
that several of the German divisions
which took part in the fighting were hur-
ried from Rumania to reJoin the crown
princes army and that they were among
those suffering defeat.
The French losses during the attack
were unbelievably slight. The German
artillery seemed to fire at random, prob
ably disOrganized by the absence of Ger
man airmen, who were kept in complete
subsection by the French aviators.
Snow and sleet fell throughout last
evening, rendering difficult further OPP
erations. The French staffs examination
of the German positions captured de-
monstrates their formidable nature and
their high state of preparedness against
assault.
Thirty German deserters who came in
before the battle began, testify that the
crown princes army had knowledge that
an attack was about to be made and were
confident that they could hold the ground
which during during their nine months
of occupation they had strongly organ
lied. They assert that more Germans
were DESTROYS of deserving but that the
strictest precautions which had been
taken anu the nature Oh the STOuHu pre-
vented them from doing so.
The difficulties opposed to the French
advance may be realized from the atti-
tude of the hills which the troops were
ordered to take and succeeded in captur-
ing. Pepper Hill, which is double crest
ed, is 1,122 feet high; Louvemont is
1,13S feet high, and another hill, I'M
named, behind, is 1,1S0 feet. The wort;
of the French aviatOrs, like that of the
ried out everywhere with almost indie
scribable daring. Dozens of squadrillas
of airmen fitted about observing and
correcting the artillery first and accom-
panying the infantry formation in their
advance, after which they flew rapidly
back to headquarters with detailed re-
ports, thus keeping the commander-in-
chief in closest touch with events.
The clearness of the atmosphere as
sisted the men greatly, while the at
tempts of the German artillery fire to
bring them down were generally abor-
tive, owing to the disorder among the
gunners, brought about by the quickness
of the French aviators
During the entire day not a French
airman was killed. On the other hand
it is reported that they destroyed a
German observation balloon, which prob
ably accounts for a terrific burst of
flame just before noon facing Douau-
mont. That fort was the objective of
the German heavy guns for hours, but
the projectiles did only slight damage
The Importance of the victory is con-
sidered by the French commanders enor-
nous, as 1t compels the Germans to
move back artillery which heretofore
had annoyed the French supply depots
and works on the other side of the
Meuse, and also lays open the flanks of
their position in lie Mort Homme.

Committee Advances

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. ia
subcommittee of the house judiciary
committee today voted unanimously to
report favorably the Hoke Smith bill
authorizing the president to appoint
additional federal judges in districts
where the incumbent has reached the
age of seventy years and has failed to
retire. There are nineteen such dis

The bill already has passed the SEN

tory upon the president to make the
appointment, but leaves the matter
wholly to his discretion with respect TO
the demands of the public business.
