7. BELMONT ASSAILS WILSON
Killing Bill for Defence Council Leaves
United States in Confusion. He Says.

THE opposition Of the Wilson ad-
ministration 20 the establishment Of a
council OF national defence, urged by
army and navy experts. has left Con-
cress and the country in the present
ctate Of almost homeless confusion upon
one of its most vital questions now
forced upon Us" is part Of letter by
Perry Belmont 10 the National Society
for the Advancemen: Of Patriotic Edu-
cation.
Despite the fact that the Democratic
platform of 1912 contained such plank
and that the House Of Representative
passed a bill providing for its estsb-
lishment, the Senate, Mr.. Belmont
states, killed the measure. The letter
continues:
"While no one should assume that
successful legislation is dependent on
the Executive, but owing to the fact
that the proposed council would have
consisted Of the Secretary of State as
its president and would have included
the secretaries Of war and the navy, the
opposition of the administration has
been fatal to the project. The majority
marty in Congress was, as matter OF
course. unwilling 20 force upon the Tx
ecutive Department new duties II dld
not desire 10 perform"

60 CHURCHES ATTACK LIQUOR
Clergymen Join in Urging Adoption Of
Local Option Bill.

The proposed local option bill was
urged In sixty churches yesterday.
None of the ministers asked for the
support Of prohibition movement, bu.
all maintained that the voter should
have the right to decide if saloon
should or should not be permitted TO
operate in the section in which the
voter makes his home.
William II. Anderson. state supern-
tendent OF the Anti-Saloon League, at
the West End Presbyterian Church.
said that the fight TO eliminate saloons
had for its greatest hope the women.
Anderson said there was a move being
made to grant 10 women the right TO
vote on such matters as the local OPP
ton bill. Once that power Is granted,
he said, the saloon would soon pass
into oblivion.
The Rev. James " Chalmers. at the
Holy Trinity Church, said that New
York, ike many weather reports,
showed "Wet, dark, gloomy, no change"
on the map. He quoted as a reason
why the city should have more legisla-
ton to deal with the liquor question

State Troops to Guard
Wilson in Milwaukee
by Telegraph TO The Tribune. J

Milwaukee. Jan. 20-Unusual precau-
tions are being taken here TO protect
the President. A large force of Secret
Service men will accompany the Pres
ident. The protection afforded by the
city's police and detective force win
be twice that of any city the President
will visit on his present tour. All the
companies of the national guard sta
toned in the city will be on duty from
the time he arrives at the station until
he leaves for Chicago.
II is because of the great pro-Ger
man sentiment in Milwaukee. which has
large German population, and the
criticism of Wilson's policies in deal
ing with Germany and England, that
these extra pre- CAUTIONS are taken.
In the hotel where the President and
his wife will take luncheon suite OF
four rooms has been provided. Other
rooms on this floor will be vacated dur
ing the entire day as another precau-
ton. At the Auditorium. where Pres
ident Wilson will speak, Secret Service
men anC city plainclothes men will be
at every entrance and will be thickly
posted near the stage.

Morality OF Munitions.
Taking up the question Of American
export Of munitions 10 the belligerents,
he declared:
at is immoral to export munitions or
materials out Of which munitions can
be made in order to prevent Belgium
from freeing herself. It is highly
al to export munitions which will
help Belgium 10 free herself. It is an
act of gross infamy on the part of this
government and this people TO take any
step which will help the wrongdoer
against the wrOnged, and such step
would be taken if we imposed an en-
barge in the interest of Germany
against the Allies.
"A year ago this government notified
Germany that il would hold her to a
strict accountability if she sank pas
senger ships and murdered women and
children. Again and again in con-
temptuous defiance Of this warning
Germany has sunk these ships and
killed non-combatants until the num-
Der mounts up into the thousands.
Eve took no effective action what
ever to stop these repeated murders.
They were finally stopped simply be-
cause the British feet destroyed so

Albany. Jan. 80 Governor Whitman
has missed great opportunity. TINS
was the view expressed here tonight
on the virtual assumption Of The con
troll OF Republican legislation by hye
up-stntcrs, headed by George w.
Aldridgo, of Rochester. Governor
Whitman has been urged 20 declare
himself the Republican leader OF tho
state and TO take hold Of the legisla'
ton of the session with a firm hand.
This he has declined TO do for reasons
best known TO himself, and the quintet
of upstate accelerators is the result
Those who have talked with the
founders of the new movement insist
that the activities Of the quintet were
made necessary by the chaos IN the
Legislature thus far. They say that
If the up-staters had not taken hold
tho Republican party would continue TO
aimlessly drift nowhere.
According 70 the plans, Governor
Whitman will have 70 be II good boy
and do as no is told. rs the success or
the Republican organization Is OF far
greater importance than the ambitions
OF the Governor. Mr.. Whitman IS 10
be renominated with the proviso that
no remains quiescent and carries out
tho wishes OF the Aldridge combina-
ton.
The activity Of the upstaters is be
lieved 90 answer the question asked
here so much Of late: "Is Governor
Whitman too proud TO f'ght?" Aldrldge
and his coterie believe he Is. II he
wasn't they would not have been able
70 put through their latest coup.
The Aldridge combination has soy
eral well matured plans on tap for the
legislators. Like most bosses, they are
shrewd. They have realized that the
big Tammany majority in New YORK
City last fall was due to the resent
ment Of voters at the treatment they
received from the Legislature last year
They have found out that Governor
Whitman has taken no steps TO remedy
this condition. Therefore they have
decided 10 do tho job themselves.
The accelerators have several plans
10 take care of this and other condl-
.ions which have resulted in the aliena-
ton of many votes They want 70 sec
New York safely in the Republican col
umn this fall. Individual candidates do
not interest them In the least. They
arc for the organization first. last
and all the time, and If Governor Whit
mans denomination stands in their way
he won't be rcnominatod.
Governor whitman knows all this,
but he won't believe II. He counts Aid
ridge. Ward and the others among his
closest friends and political advisers,
and he prefers TO listen to their siren
Song. lie prefers compromise rather
than a fight. That's the whole story.
There is still chance for the Governor
20 assert himself. however. He can
show that he is not "too proud to fight"
that is. II he wants 70 do so.
