EUROPE STRONGER AFTER WAR

WASHINGTON. Jan, 19.--Major
General Leonard Wood told the
senate military committee today the
coast line OF the United States was
open to attack by any well-organized
foreign army, despite it's equipment
OF forts, mines and submarines and
that the oceans formed no serious
barrier to invasion. He maintained
that in the country's present state
of utter unpreparedness for war
trained force OF 10000 men could
inflict incalculable damage before
an army could be assembled to
meet It..
Events Of the European war demon
strated clearly. the generatl said. that
the sea was the best medium for the
movement OF troops and he pointed out
that a force of 126.OOO men, fully equipepd,
had been landed at GallipoIi from a sin
gle expedition OF ninety-eight ships,

water screen of bsrbed wire which
fringed every available landing place.

Emphasizing his conviction that troops
cannot be improvised to meet regulars.
General Wood said the fundamental ba sis
OF any policy OF adequate national de
fense must be the principle that with suf-
frage goes an obligation for military
service. Such a policy was advocated by
George Washington. he said, and II It
had been adopted Canada would have be-
come part of the United States In the war
Of 1872.
only once in our history have we
been prepared for war" he added. That
was Immediately after the civil war,
when we had 100000 trained soldier. our
diplomatic correspondence with France
at that time concerning Mexico was very
brief. IL required only one note, because
OF our preparedness. France was told 10
get out Of Mexico, and It got out.

President Ed Lehmkuhl Tells Deal
ers of Reforms Which They
Must Inaugurate.
SHOW is DRAWING BIG CROWDS

President Ed Lehmkuhl of the
Midwest Implement Dealers asso-
citation, in his annual address at the
opening of the convention in the
Auditorium, advised some action be
taken regarding the alleged Sisal
trust, advised the implement retail
ers to put themselves at once into
position to handle the tractor busi-
ness, which is a rapidly growing
business, advised the retailers to see
that they have their territory care
fully defined by buying territory
with goods and goods with territory,
and told them they must be fair in
the matter of returning goods unsat-
isfactory, as any unnecessary con-
cessions made by the manufacturer
along this line must necessarily even
tually increase the cost OF goods to
the dealer.
President Lehmkuhl made his address
short but full of points. He called at
tenton to the claim made by the large
manufacturers that under present SELL
ing conditions IL takes So of capital TO do
a dollars worth OF business. The state
mcnt goes unchallenged," he said. "and
il it is true. we should welcome a more
efficient plan"
Attention" he said. has also recently
been called TO tie newly formed sisal

south which has obtained control OF the
supply Of sisal fibre Of Yucatan, where
it is produced. Since then there have
been several systematic advances in price
that do not seem warranted by supply
and demand. ! advise some action in this
matter.
THE farm tractor business demands
our earnest and careful consideration.
Many of the retailers have not been in
position to handle 1t, and the result
is that the manufacturers have gone
straight to the farmer and handled it
themselves The dealers were not
equipped with floor space and all neces-
sary to handle this business, which came
upon them suddenly. 1t has come TO be
n great thing, and the dealers should put
themselves in position to handle this
at once. \ better understanding with
the manufacturer must be reached

Touching the matter Of territory. Presi-
dent Lehmkuhl held that the only way
to be sure Of territory is to buy territory
