the service, bringing the total number
Of Federal troops up to 106,619. He
pointed out that the item Of pay alone
made up approximately so per cent of
the total proposed appropriations.
The United States including Alaska,
said the Secretary, is of greater area
than the combined total of Austro-
Hungary Belgium, the British Isles,
Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Germany,
Greece, Italy, Japan, Portugal, Russia
in Europe, Spain and Turkey in Eu-
rope, the total of these areas repre-
senting only 81 per cent of that of the
United States.
A similar delay would meet the eff
fort to assemble arms, equipment and
ammunition, Mr.. Garrison said and he
insisted that if it accomplished moth
ing more, the plan now proposed
would obviate much Of this loss of
time.
Turning to the National Guard, Mr..
Garrison said:'
cat the present time this force con-
sists of approximately $4,000 men
and officers, and it would, therefore, be
necessary if it is to be expanded to
100000 to add 271,OO0 men and offic-
ers.
IF this policy should be attempted
t. be adopted, Congress would first
have to require the states to raise and
maintain all of these troops and the
state would have to practically treble
cir existing equipment. I do not
know whether Congress would have
any power to impose this burden upon
the states. 1t seems to me that a mere
statement of this situation indicates
how utterly futile it is to attempt this
solution"
Mr.. Garrison pointed aut that the
National Guard could be called in
Federal service only for three pur-
poses, to suppress domestic insurrec-
ton, to enforce the law, and to rope
invasion, and added: There is no one
thing so free from dispute as that the
basis of any proper military slsten
must be unity of responsibility, au
thority and control. 1t is absolutel!

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. Sec
rotary Garrison has laid before the
House Military Affairs committee his
formal argument in behalf of the ad-
ministration' army plan which is des-
ignated to give the country a definite
military policy. 1t proposes the crea-
ton of a mobile Federal force of more
than a million men in six years, ac-
emulation of a huge reserve Of am
munition and equipment and elaborate
extension of the coast defenses, the
whole project involving an increased
expense of $600OOO,O00 and an annual
War Department budget thereafter Of
more than $2O0,OOO,O0O as compared
with an average of $1O0,000,OO0 for the
last few years.
Referring to the farspread military

we'll known that since he has been
Mayor he has taken no steps to en-
force the prohibition law On the CON
trary it appears that he and his oun-
ely have licensed saloons selling whis-
key for the first four months of 1916,
ard have gone so far as to repeal an
ordinance passed during the late
Mayor Davant's term on the subject of
disseminating saloons on Broughton
street, the principal business street of
Savannah. This ordinance prohibited
all saloons of eevry kind on Brough-
ton street after January LIST, 1916, but
Mayor Pierpont and his council re-
pealed this and these saloons will
remain on Broughton street
"The true cause of the local legisla-
ton which will be attempted by the
nathan delegation grow out of the
lack of a provision in the Savannah
charter for an election of a successor
to Mayor Davant by the people and
the well known fact that Mayor Pier
pont turned his administration body
and soul over to the opponents of
Mayor Davant who was elected by
majority of four thousand votes in
december, 1914. This local legislation
is further prompted by the fact that
Mayor Pierpont and his council have
raised taxes in Savannah over twenty
five per cent, and have doubled most
of the business licenses, while it is
claimed that the extravaganza in his
administration is beyond all reason.
It is asserted that the great raise in
taxes and licenses is not necessitated
by any reduction in revenue form near
beer licenses in 1916, because the
council of Savannah fixed the near
beer tax for the four months of 1916
ct 100000 and heretofore it has only
been $4,000 for the entire year.
= THE Chatham delegation confidently
lelieye that the members Of the Leg
islatura will not concern themselves
with any local legislation from Sa-
vannah, when it is made to appear
that false issues are raised by the
present Mayor and his administration
for the sole purpose Of arraying sen
timent in the Legislature against To-
cal bills to be introduced by savan-
nah's representatives.

Air Propelled
Boat Floating
On the Flint

ALBANY, Ga, Jan. Those who
lave carefully watched F. z. Wort
mans experiments in Flint river with
his air-propelled boat believe that it
will be comparatively easy to overcome
tie only defect that has thus far de-
yeloped in the operation of the craft.
Mr.. Workman is himself more than sat
isGed ard be is already working on
plans to overcome the trouble that the
initial trial developed.
The success of this type of boat will
solve the problem of navigating the
shallow streams of this and other
states. Boats of the Workman type will
draw not much more than half the
water required by paddle wheel steam
ers.
The trials of this novel craft show
that the 40-horsepower gasoline engine
geared to the twin-blade, 8-foot air
propeller develops ample power to
drive the 5O-foot boat upstream fully
eight miles an hour, which is as fast
as the best of the paddle-wheel steam
ers on small rivers make.
But it developed that it was not
practical to steer the boat by moving
the propeller from side to side Even
a slight swinging to one side of the
propeller post caused the boat to run
Sc swiftly in the new direction that it
was almost driven into the bank sew
clal times. Mr.. Workman is working
ing now on two steering device ideas.
One is for submerged rudder oper-
ated on hinges, so that it can be rails
eG in very shallow water and where
the depth of water will allow. The
other is for a rudder mounted back Of
the propeller to catch the breeze from
the blades, and to be operated much
as the rudder of an airship.
Further trials of the Workman boat
will occur as soon as the new steering
apparatus can be installed.

Chatham Legislators Get All
Riled AndProceed to Show Up
The Situation In Savannah

SAVANNAH, Ga, Jan Savannah
is seething with politics, and the fol-
lowing statement has been issued by
a member of the Chatham delegation
in the lower house:
The recent dispatches which have
appeared in the State papers to the eff
feet that the Chatham delegation in
the House and Senate expected to leg
islate Mayor Pierpont out of Office at
th esession of the Legislature of 1916
because of the fact that the Mayor had
announced that he would strictly en-
force the prohibition law after May
1st have brought forth vigorous pro-
test from the representatives of Sa-
yannah in the House and the Senate,
"They assert that their proposed
bill or bills either for a recall election
or for termination of the term {
office of the present Mayor and Alder
men have no connection remote or
otherwise with any prohibition policy
of the present Mayor.
Mayor Pierpont was elected by
Council, not by the people, in October
last upon the death of Mayor R. J.
pavant, who in December, 1914, was
elected for term of four years. May
or Pierpont whom the Chatham rep
assert is not the choice
of the people of Savannah has over
three years to serve, there being no
way under the present Charter by
which the people of Savannah could
elect a successor to Mayor Davant.
Immediately after the election of
Mayor Pierpont by Council in October
last the Chatham delegation advertis-
ed the caption of their local bills in
tie Savannah papers the purpose OF
these bills being to give the people an
in 1916 to elect a success
sor of Mayor Davant for the unexpired
term
THE Chatham delegation in the
Legislature claim that the recent an
in the state papers by
Mayor Pierpont that he would enforce
the prohibition law and that the rep
in the Legislature were
going to try to put him out OF office on
taat account was purely a strategic
move on the part Of the Mayor and
the Office holders under him to enlist
the sympathy Of the Prohibitionists in
tie Legislature and to gain their sup
pert in a fight against the local bills.
Mayor Pierpont draws a salary of six
thousand dollars year, and it is as
serted that he only deyotes two hours
a day to the duties Of the office. The
salary of six thousand dollars was
passed in Mayor Davant's time upon
condition that the Mayor devote his
entire time to the office.
Regarding Mr.. Pierpont's prohibi-
ton views. it IS pointed out that May
or Pierpont has been an alderman OF
the City of Savannah for three years
and during the sickness of the late
Mayor Davant Mr.. Pierpont was often
Mayor pro tenn; and that during all
this period he never raised his voice
il aid of the enforcement of the pro-
hlbition laws in Savannah. 1t is also

SECRETARY GARRISON HAS MADE HIS
REPORT TO THE HOUSE COMMIT TEE ON
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ARMY MATTER

impossible to have this essential unity
under the Constitutional provision
with respect to the organized militia
or National Guard"
The Secretary then outlined the
continental army plan which proposes
to raise 100000 men in annual mere
ments of 10000 each from districts
approXimateing the 400 Congressional
districts, each to supply 1888 men an
nually. The men would enlist for
three years with ~colors and three
years on furlough, and would be arm
ed, equipped and Differed. Their train
ing would be done by the officers and
men CT the regular army organizations
and they would be paid during the
time of their service on the same bas-
is as the regular army.
For convenience of designation, :"
he continued, this force has been
called the Continental Army, but in
fact, it is a system of federal volun-
teers, raised, organized, equipped and
trained in time of epace. There is alb
sClut9ly nothing new in this sugges-
ton, as it has been a result reached
and expressed by the very best mill
tary authorities this country has pro-
duced. 1t will not have escaped your
notice that this proposed system is
practically the same thing as the
Swiss and Australian systems, leavina,
out the supervision of the public
schools and work therein of a military
character, and compulsory military
service. If compulsory military ser
vice is now desired, for the country,
ard legislation concerning it can be
expected by the Congress, then a short
provision in the act will accomplish
it Such a clause would provide that
wherever the quota required of any
district by a certain date is short of
the proper number, a selective process
to obtain that number shall be put in
TO effect"
Turning to the question of the size
of the regular army necessary to
train the Continentals and carry on
tie various military activities of the
War Department in normal times, Mr..
Garrison said it had been demonstrate
cd to him that a mobile force of 3d.
600 and 10000 coast artillery troops
would serve all needs Such force,
an increase Of nearly 10000 over the
present armmy, he said would be
comparatively inexpensive, would re-
Quire no additional quarters and could
be recruited. F or these reasons he
recommended the addition of ten reg
iments of infantry, four regiments OF
Field Artillery, 50 companies of Coast
Artillery, fifteen companies of eugin-
ecrs and four aero squadrons to the
present force bringing the enlisted
strength in two years up to 134,707
and the number of officers to 1855,
"The officers and men of the new
organizations are absolutely essential
if the War Department plan is to be
fairly tried out" he added. "In TIE

100000 is so distributed that in con-
tinental United States, there would be
left $4,000 mobile army troops In the

capable of expansion The War Col
lege plan proposes two year enlist
ment, with six years in reserve, and,
eventually, at the end of eight years,
makes UP line of 100000 men of the
regular army of whom 121,000 would

serve.

The foregoing is of interest to
Americas people, owing to the fact
that the first air-propalled boat de,
signed for use on the Flint was con-
structed in this city by Mr.. Gordon
Statham and several associates, the
craft being primarily intended for use
by hunting parties. It was propelled
by an eight-foot air propeller and
when mounted upon wheels proudly
navigated several streets in the bust,
ness section of Americas. The craft
was later conveyed to the river under
its own power, being mounted upon a
light wagon body for that purpose.
