PREPAREDNESS BILLS SOON
Congressional Committees Take Up
Final Review Of Measures For En-
Iarqing Military Establishment.

Notwithstanding campaign for na.
tional preparedness Will enter on u new
phase in congress soon, when in all
probability bills providing for increas-
ing the army to an extent neve before
contemplated in times Of peace will be
introduced in both the house and tho
senate.
The military committee has begun
its final review Of the measure tenta'
lively agreed upon last week and
which, It Is stated, will be altered only
in minor details before 1t is ~favorably
reported. The final vote probably will
be taken before March 4, but 1t will
require several days for Chairman Hay
to prepare a report to accompany the
bill.
The senate committee has agreed TO
insert only a general provision for fed
e~ralization OF the national guard in
It's regular army reorganization meas
ure, leaving the task OF putting this
legislation In final shape to the joint
conference committee. to which the
two bills will go. BY this action the
senate committee made 1t possible to
bring out It's bill also next week.
Before the house naval committee
Rear Admiral Knight has continued his
recommendations that every facility
in the country be employed to hasten
construction OF a feet equal to those
OF any two nations except GLsat Brit
ain.
American policies, such as the Mon
roe doctrine, Asiatic exclusion, control
Of the Panama canal and the open door
In China, he declared, constitute a
great and growing threat Of war unless
adequate preparation to uphold them
is made.
Admiral Knight said he believed II
would take two years and a half to
make the navy efficient enough to meet
the present German feet with any hope
of success. The time limit he set was
the minimum required to build nine
battle cruisers and eight fast scouts

TROOPS TRAPPED
Brandenburgers Who Captured Fort
Douaumont Are Surrounded-Es-
cape Doubtful.

Paris.-The remnant of the famous
Brandenburg corps, flower of the kali
ser's armies, which bore the brunt OF
the assault on Verdun, Is trapped IN
the fort at Douaumont. French forces
surround it on all sides.
Guards have been placed about the
fort. The French are not wasting their
lives in attacking 1t, but are waiting
until hunger compels the kaiser's crack
troopers to run up the white flag or
come out and fight. More than 2,0oo
Of the Brandenburgers are virtually
prisoners.
In the attack on the village OF Douau'
mont the fort at that place changed
hands four times. Repealed by the
Germans, the French rallied and re-
gained the stronghold, only to be rout'
ed again. Assaults and counter-as'
saults might have continued indefi'
nitely had not the Breton corps been
called upon. The Bretons charged with
irresistible rush through q storm OF
German shells and put the Brandon
burgers to flight.
The pursuit carried the main divis'
ion OF the German corps to the north
ward beyond the fort. The ferocity
and suddenness OF the French assault
cut off the escape OF 1000 OF the Bran
denburgers, who were unable to gel
out of the fort. The French assert thai
the latter will either be starved into
surrender or to make a break for the
German lines, which would result In
certain humiliation.
A wounded officer told how the Ger
man dead lay on the battlefield 81
thickly that In the faint light or earl,
morning they seemed a new army ad
~yancing to the attack. The officer wa

Mined areas played an importan
part in breaking the great German OF
fensive against Verdun, and they cos
many thousand German lives.

FOR THE PRESIDENT
New York Democrats lndorse Wilson
For Second Term-Administratlon
POLICY Is Ratified.

Syracuse, N. YIN keynote speech
and platform Democrats Of New York
state have assembled in informal con
vention, ratified the administration OF
President Wilson and took steps to
bring about his reelection. Harmony
marked the conventions deliberations,
every proposal being adopted unani-
mously.
The convention also adopted a reso'
luton commencing the reelection OF
Norman E. Mack of Buffalo as Demo
cratic national committeeman.
The delegates to the national con-
vention, which will comprise New
York's big four, were ~unpledged. but
were nominated WITH the understand
ing that they are to work for a second
term for Mr.. Wilson.
The keynote speech, delivered by
former Gov. Martin H. Glynn as per-
manent chairman, aroused much enthu-
siasm. In addition to commencing the
action Of Mr.. Wilson during his admin
istration, 1t replied directly to the crit
icisms of the president and his foreign
policies made by former Senator Elihu
Root at the recent Republican state
| convention in New York.
At the conclusion of the speech the
convention adopted a resolution pro
viding for the distribution by the Dem
ocratic state committee Of 1000. 900
copies throughout the country.
The platform expressed the faith Of
New York's Democracy in the presi
dent and urged his denomination and
reelection. 1t was adopted enthusias
tically amid prolonged cheering. II
dealt solely with national and interna
tional issues. A futile attempt was
made by advocates Of woman suffrage
to insert in the platform a plank pledg
ing the party to support the move
ment.

New Aeroplane Motor Tested
In Laboratory

A 1O-cylinder. 250-horsepower
aeroplane motor is being tested
with the gasoline engine.testing
apparatus recently installed in
the College of Engineering Of
the University of Wisconsin.
The aeroplane motor, which is
being tried out by a Chicago
company, was brought to Madi-
son because there is no other
testing apparatus in this part
of the country that is large
enough for the experiment.
The moter is of the radial
type with ten stationary cylin'
ders. 1t weighs slightly over
500 pounds and if it develops
$50 horsepower, as is expected.
| it will retain the remarkable
efficiency of 1 horsepower for
each 2 pounds of weight. A
motor speed of 300 revolutions
per minute is expected, and at
this speed the motor will fire
$500 cylinder charges per
minute.
The laboratory's equipment.
which was installed last sum-
mer, consists of an electric
dynamometer of one of the most
improved types for testing the
efficiency and horsepower of
gasoline motors and a mano-
graph for making graphic re-
cords of the variation in pres
sure in engine cylinders. The
aeroplane motor is the second
engine that has been tested
with the new equipment.
