cy appropriation for repairs Of machin-
cry in battleships. torpedo destroyers
and submarines, to increase the sup
ply of mines and, for the first time, to
equip battleships with anti-aircraft
guns was asked of Congress by Secre-
tary Daniels.
Many of our destroyers have
reached an age where renewals of ex-
tensive portions of their machinery
equipment is necessary" Secretary
Daniels said The same is true Of
submarines, both classes OF vessels
making big drain on this years ap-
preparation"
The boilers OF the battleships Geor-
gia and Virginia. both Of which have
been in almost constant service for
ten years. have shown such weakness,
Mr.. Daniels said. as to require that
these vessels be withdrawn from ac-
tive service to haye their boilers re-
placed In addition. the Virginia has
recently broken an important part Of
her machinery. which must be re-
newed, and the long stay Of the fleet
in Mexican waters last year also caus-
ed an unusually repair bill.

SCORES VOLUNTEER SYSTEM
Nothinu More Than Mere Chance
Saws Gen, Wood In Charleston.
Men Must Be Trained.

Charleston.-The volunteer system
was severely scored and characterized
as nothing more than dependence on
mere chance by Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood, u. S. A., commanding the De-
partment of the East in: an address
to a big mass meeting at the Hloern-
ian .all. The volunteer spirit is fine,
he said. but undependable. It has al
ways failed this nation, although not
many know it, because the histories
do not teach us the unpleasant facts,
he continued. Soldiers Of the War Be-
tween the States knew it, and know
that both the North and the South
fell back on the draft system be-
fore many months Of war.
Reviewing the wars OF this nation
to prove the unreliability Of the 7olun-
teer system, Gen. Wood declared that
the United States had never engaged
in war with a first class military pow
er unassisted and that United States
armies had met defeat IN engage
ments with force numbering little
more than half their own.
In advocating federal control Of the
National Guard, Gen. Wood declared
that the movement to put this force
under the federal government was no
reflection on the members or the Of
ficers of the institution and that the
defects of the National Guard were
not the fault Of officers or men, but
were the simple results Of too many
commanding officers. He declared
that the government wanted every Of
fcer and every man Of the National
Guard, rank for rank, in its plans for
military preparedness.
Citizens training camps and their
work were told Of in the latter part
of the generals address. He urged
the people of this, section to respond
to the call for volunteers in the camp
as they had always responded when
the country called upon them. !;

scenes occurred in the Oklahoma
House of Representatives while the
members were voting on a section of
an election law designed to take the
place Of the famous grandfather law"
which recently was declared unconstl-
tutional by the United States Supreme
Court because in effect it disenfranch-
ised the negro population OF the state.
Partisan feeling over the new meas
ure eliminated in near riot precipi-
tated by charges Of corruption and
the passing of the lie between mem
bers, during which ink bottles and
paper-weights were used as weapons.
Arthur H. Geissler. chairman Of the
Republican State Central Committee,
was knocked down and rendered un-
conscious by Representative Lorris E.

N|CARAGijAH TREATY.
RATIFIED By SENATE.
FIVE DEMOCRATS OPPOSE AND Is
REPUBLICANS VOTE FOR
RATIFICATION.
OPTION ON CANAL ROUTE
Also Naval Base in Gulf Of Fonseea
and Pays Nicarauga Government
ss,ooo,ooo.

Washingzoo.-The senate by q vote
Of 55 to IS ratified the long-pendlng
and persistently opposed Nicaraguan
treaty, whereby the United States
would acquire Ss-year option on the
Nicaraguan Canal route and a naval
base in the Gulf Of Fonseca for 3d.
100000.
Included in the ratification resolu-
ton was a provision declaring that
the United States in obtaining the
naval base does not intend to vio-
late any existing rights in the Fon-
SEGA Gulf of Costa Rico, Honduras
and Salvador, which had protested
against the proposed requirement.
Five Democratic senators voted
against the treaty. They were Cham
berlain. MARITIME. Clarke Of Arkansas
Thomas and yardaman. Fifteen Re
publican senators joined the admins
trarion forces in support Of the treaty.
Immediately after the senate had
acted, Senator Chammorro, the Mic
araguan Minister, said he would at
once communicate with his govern.
ment and that he expected ratifca'
ton Of the convention by his gov
ernment would soon follow and ex-
changes made to put the treaty in
force
Senator Clarke Of Arkansas led the
Democratic opposition to the treaty,
while the Republican opposition was
headed by Senator Borah and Smith
Of Michigan.
During the long debate declarations
were made in the senate that Ger
many had offered Nicaragua nore than
had the United States for the canal
route option, and this is said to have
been used as an argument for rauhca-
ton.
Senator Stone, chairman Of the
Foreign Relations Committee, will
call up the Haitien financial portec-
torate treaty next, this to be followed
by the amended Colombian treaty.
Regarding the Colombian treaty there
is grave doubt whether it can receive
the necessary two-thirds vote for rati-
fcatior.
