Is Still Unset
tied.
VOCATIONAL TRAINING
FOR ENLISTED MEN

iously Handicap This
Nation.

Washington, April 7.--Admnistra-
ton leaders in Congress are hopeful
that the army increase bill, first of
the three national defense measures
will enter its final state next week
Indications tonight were that only
the remaining action likely to cause
prolonged debate in the Senate was
the one fixing the peace strength Of
the regular army.
The Senate voted on only one addi-
tion to the bill today, adopting with
out roll call the proposal of Senator
Smith Of Georgia, that enlisted men
in the regular army hereafter be Civ
en- opportunity for Is hours of vo-
cational education month during
their active service in peace times.
Debates on various proposals for
the erection of a government plant
for the tXation of atmospheric oxygen
occupied the remainder of the day.
The pending amendment was that of
Senator Smith of South Carolina, TO
appropriate $l5,00000O for a plant,
site, and process to be determined
by the War Department. The surplus
capacity over the government IS
needs in peace times, under the pro
posal would go into the manufacture
OF fertilizer to be sold by the govern
ment through the Secretary Of Agri
culture.
There is not a Senator here said
Senator Underwood, "who does not
rea ]ize-, thess4 deploEable condition, o1
this country would be in because OF
a shortage of nitrates for explosives
if war should be declared against us
"A second great power could make
us surrender in six months if we had
no surplus of nitrate, nitrogen and it
had plenty .
Senator Lodge declared that by
leaving private enterprises alone, the
government could get nitrogen cheap
er than in any other way.
Kill Nitrogen Amendment.
The Senate military committee de-
cided today not to include provisions
for government nitrogen plant in the
bill. The proposed legislation, it was
decided, can be considered separate

PATRIOTISM

A nation is made great, not by its fruit
full acres, but by the men who cultivate
them; not by its great forests, but by the
men who use them; not by its mines, but
by the men who work in them; not by it's
railways, but by the men who build and
run them. America was great land
when Columbus discovered it; Ameri-
cans have made of it great Nation.
In 1776 our fathers had vision of new
Nation conceived in liberty and dedicated
to the proposition that all men are Great
ed equal" Without an army they
fought the greatest of existing world
empires that they might realize this WIS.,
ion. A third of century later, without
navy they fought the greatest navy
in the world that they might win for
their Nation the freedom of the seas.
Half century later they fought through
an unparalleled Civil War that they
might establish for all time on this en-
tinent the inalienable right Of life, lib
erty. and the pursuit of happiness. A
third of a century later they fought to
emancipate an oppressed neighbor, and,
victory won, gave back Cuba to the
Cubans, sent an army of schoolmasters
to educate for liberty the Filipinos, ask
ed no war indemnity from their vanquish-
ed enemy, but paid him literally for his
property. Meanwhile they offered land
freely to any farmer who would live up
on and cultivate it, opened to foreign
immigrants on equal terms the door of
Industrial opportunity, shared with them
political equality, and provided by uni
versal taxation for universal education.
The cynic who can see in this history
only theme for his egotistical satire is
no true American, whatever his parent
age. whatever his birthplace. He who
looks with pride upon this history which
his fathers have written by their heroic
deeds, who accepts with gratitude the
inheritance which they have bequeathed
to him, and who highly resolves to pre-
serve this inheritance unimpaired and to
pass it on to his descendants enlarged
and enriched, is true American, be his
birthplace or his parentage what it may.

tanned and safeguarded by the prac-
teal power Of a virile and patriotic
people. It is clearsighted enough to
see that preparation for defense must
have due relation to the possibilities
Of attack; that under the conditions of
modern warfare much preparation
must be made before possible attack
or all preparation will be impossible
after the attack. The Republican par
ty stands for citizenship made COM
petent by training to perform the free
mans duty of defense for his country
It stands for regular army no larger
than is necessary, but as large as Is
necessary to serve as a first line,
nucleus, source of instruction and of
administration for the army of Ameri-
can citizens who may be called upon
to defend their country. And the Re-
publican party stands for the gospel
Of patriotic service to our country by
every citizen, according to his ability
In peace and In war 1t stands for
reawakening Of American patriotism.
1t is not content that while the people
of other lands are rendering the last
full measure of devotion in sacrifice
and suffering and dying for their coun-
tries America shall remain alone dull
to the call Of country and satisfied in
the comforts and pleasures Of pros
perity.
Our Power For Peace.
They may expect that assured readi-
ness for defense will give power to
our diplomacy in the maintenance of
peace.
They may expect that the power and
will of united people to defend their
country will prevent the application to
our peaceful and prosperous land of
the hateful doctrine that among ma
lions might makes right regardless of
the rules of justice and humanity.
They may expect that the manifest,
potential strength and competency of
the nation will maintain the effective
ness and reality of that great policy Of
national safety which in the declara-
ton of President Monroe forbade the
destruction of our security by the es-
Enlistment Of hostile military powers
in our neighborhood.
They may expect that their govern
ment will not forget, but will ever
maintain, the principles of American
freedom, the duties of America to the
peace and progress of the world and
those ideals of liberty and justice for
all mankind which above all else make
the true greatness of the American
democracy.

Late Spring Models.

Stripes Insistent. Tight Bodies. Panniers
Bustles. Hoops And Vatican Hats.
NEW YORK, March Is, 1916. With all
the bubbling and excitement usual when
Spring fashions are launched there are
few absolutely new points to chronicle,
since each new mode contains the ele-
ments of past designs, with a special
twist or combination that gives the air
of novelty. Many periods have been
borrowed from to produce this season s
mode and no one type predominates.
Tight bodices with darts go next to late
Directoire styles with sweeping reveres,
waistcoats, striped petticoats and high
crowned hats dressed with plumes. 1870
types are suggested in overskirts punched
up, hustle fashion, at the back, while
crinoline and ruff1es bark back to 1890
Square Decolletage.
With the tight fitting pointed bodice
that gains favor for evening wear the
neck is cut out square, moderately high
and sometimes filled in with tulle or lace.
Fichu and cape effects are important
both for day and evening wear, while a
decided tendency is shown for three
quarter sleeves widening at the elbow,
though long sleeves are by no means out
of the running, Skirts are decidedly wide
and bit longer, and rumors of crinoline
have been followed by evidence of its
use to hold out the hip draperies, and
produce the modish flare. Apron effects
are in evidence in many varieties of size
and placement. Tassels and cords, braids
and fur fringes, and Louis bows in grad
uated widths are favorite trimming de-
vices.
Flat Vatican hats, tilted up in the
back to show the new Niniche couture,
have ties of ribbon or tulle carelessly
crossed in front and falling over the
shoulders at the back of the waist.
Broadhrim shapes and high, narrow tur-
bans that jut out at aeroplane angles,
have wells draped from their edges that
may end above the chin or fall to the
shoulders.
The Floating Veil
Floating wells of EN- broidered tulle in
black or castor are increasingly worn,
and hats of Italian straw, picot straw,
leghorn Chm and lisere. are used with or
without combinations silk, tulle and felt.
One sees few aigrettes, but many
fancy feathers and small plumes arrang-
ed in wreaths and cockades are much
employed. Leather flowers are novel;
ty for hat garnitures.
Colors And Fabrics
In silks, faille, gros-graine and taf-
fetas lead, and black with touch of
brilliant color, contrast in trimming de-
tails of embroidery, beading, girdle or
