CALL To Arms
STIRS SENATE
Chamberlain Declares U. S.
Unable to Maintain Rights
Without Force.
RECALLS SPIRIT OF '76
Preparedness Absolutely Necessary
Unless We Supinely Give Up At
tempt to Compel Respect.

The dangers of unpreparedness were
graphically portrayed to the Senate
yesterday by Senator Chamberlain. chair
man Of the Military Affairs Committee
He stirred the Senate deeply by declar-
ing that unless the United States IL
adequately prepared to use force. II
necessary, It will be unable to obtain
satisfaction for the many injuries 1t has
received at the hands Of the warning
European nations.
Senator Chamberlain was urging the
adoption of his army reorganization bill
He made the most vigorous and stirring
speech In behalf of preparedness yet
voiced In the Senate.
Almost the entire days session In the
Senate was devoted to speakers plead
ing for the adoption of the army bill
Senators O'Gorman. Of New York, and
John Sharp Williams, of MISSISSIPPI both
seconded all that Senator Chamberlain
said.
Senator Chamberlain said:
I'VE do not need any preparation unless
we intend to assert the Monroe Doctrine
and make 1t a live force in this republic
We do not need any preparedness II we
intend to allow one OF the belliserents
to take the lives of our people who have
the right to travel in other lands than
our own.
I'VE do not need any preparedness II
we intend to let another Of the bellig-
erents take our ships into its ports, and
not only our ships, but the ships OF other
powers that are neutral In this trouble,
and search them and go aboard the ships
and take people of our own bottoms.
Recalls Spirit Of Revolution.
I'VE do not need any preparation II we
intend to submit to these indignities, but
for one, I insist that the same spirit
that induced our forefathers to throw tea
into Boston Farbor, the same spirit that
animated our forefathers in the war of
1879, and in the later wars OF the re-
public, ought to animate US.
They say that we are not going to
have any invasion. Here within the past
few weeks a hundred or more bandits
from the south OF US have invaded the
United States and We have not caught
them yet
How large a body Of men from any
other country would 1t take to put US
out Of commission
The Senator from California In a
speech truly stated that on the Pacific
coast alone there were trained veterans
Of the Russo-Japanese war in excess
OF our continental army. There is not
amy question about that Why shut our
eyes to the conditioner
Germany, one Of the belligerents to-
day, has over 5000 German reservists In
this country. I am not an alarmIst, but
I have great fear that the time may
come when this country ought to assert
itself and she will not be in position
to assert herself.
7 sometimes am compelled to com
pare our present condition with the con-
dition that confronted our small popu-
lation IN 1s12 There IL not a single rule
OF national or international life; there Is
not q rule Of international law that was
violated then, and which led to war,
which has not been violated ten times as
mush In the past few days"

POLICE PENSION
PLAN ENDORSED
Board of Directors Of Cham
Der of Commerce Reassert
Favorable Stand.
C. E. SMITH SPEAKS
President of Bluecoats' Association
Urges Renewed Eforts-Sum-
mer Outing Discussed.

The board of directors of the Wash
ington Chamber of Commerce reas-
serted its stand in favor OF q pension
fund for policemen and fremen at a
meeting last night in the chambers
headquarters p. T. Moran, president
of the chamber. presided at the SEES
sion.
C. e. Smith, president of the Police
mems Association, appeared before the
directors to urge them to repeat their
efforts for the passage of a bill to put
the pension fund on an adequate basis.
Mr.. Smith declared a petition for
the fund signed by 1000 taxpayers
had been filed with Ben johnson,
chairman of the House District Com
mittee. He said a deficit of $4,000
existed under the present pension sys-
tenn.
willing to Pay More.
The policemen's representative de-
clared the policemen, numbering 7l6,
would be willing to pay $3.50 instead
of the 81 they now pay monthly to-
ward supporting the fund. This in
crease Of so per cent from the police
men would be OF great help to the de-
pendents on the fund, he said.
The directors discussed informally
plans for an excursion this summer.
Suggestions were made that the or
ganization take trip to New York,
another suggestion being to take an
trip. The chamber usually
takes an outing at one OF the river or
bay resorts.
1t was decided to urge the choosing
of Washington as a 1917 convention
place before the encampment of Sons
of Confederate Veterans and the con-
vention of the United Daughters of
the Confederacy, which will meet in
during the summer.

the spirit of Christianity. These evangests

The Governor and the president of the

the anthracite miners on Saturday from the
same platforms in Scranton and Wilkes-Barre.
Mr. White told the miners that the eighthour
day, which they are asking, will be granted in
the near future, and Mr.. Brumbaugh, who was
introduced as friend of the workingman,"
said that he expected the men to obey the
law and to keep the peace. The meetings were
important because they occurred on the day
when the agreement between the miners and
the operators expires. Negotiations are still
in progress for the drafting of a new agree
ment Mr.. Whites opinion seems 10 be that
an understanding will be reached without
strike and that it will include new wage
scale and a shorter working day, if not imme-
diate recognition of the union. Every anthra-
cite user in the country is hoping that both
parties 10 the controversy will realize their
obligations and keep the mines running, even
if they cannot come 10 an agreement imme-
diately.

1t was many and many n year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may knoWI
BY the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
! was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the
But we loved with love that was more than

With love that the winged seraphs OF heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn knsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in sepulchre
In this kingdom by the
The angels not half so happy i'm heaven,
Went envying her and me
Yes,-that was the reason (as all men know,

But our love It was stronger by far than the love

And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea-
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul

For the moon never beams without bringing me

And the stars never rise but feel the bright eyes

persuaded the Legislature and people Of the
state to permit less burdensome method Of
amortization and he provided that interest
during the period Of construction and one year
thereafter should be capitalized. thus assur-
ing no tax whatever on citizens until the new
system had been given an opportunity to prove
its earning capacity.
lie persuaded the state moreover to sub
sidize this public utility to the extent of al
most 81 1000 900 annually in the form of
personal property tax, formerly paid to the
state
He provided. i'm the tentative agreement
entered into with the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company, for the remission OF the
hundreds of thousands of dollars now being
paid by citizens in the form of exchange
tickets
In these two items alone he provided for
about half of all the charges that could pos
siblv fall on taxpayers as a result of the new
transit system. oven If the system did not
earn one penny. but remained idle and un-
productive
This takes no account OF the enhancement
in real estate values which have Invariably
followed better transit facilities, both here
and elsewhere; an enhancement likely to be
so great that the reveuue to the city there
from would in all probability be sufficient not
only to meet any possible expense resulting
from transit improvements but actually also
to yield large surplus in addition
This is not a dream. 1t is conclusion
found TO be true in the experience of this and
other cities.
The Taylor system may he lil>ened to a
great factory complete in all of its details
turning out a completed product and earning
profit thereon.
The stunted Twinng plan may be itened
to half.built factory, which but half com.
pIetes its product wherefore it can be operated
only at dead loss.
THE Finance Committee can decide in
L favor Of saddlmg this town with great
debt by sanctioning malle.beeve rapid tran.
sit in the form of the Twinng plan.
1t can on the other hand provide the
community with great public utility and
necessity and make this in fact an imperial
city. without the addition of one single dollar
to the permanent debt of the municipality. by
standing straghtforwardly for the Taylor
plan, despite any ulterior influences which
may be brought to bear.
Let no taxpayer be deluded into thinking
that the Taylor plan will penall2e him. That
is the one line of attack which the OBJ.
structlonists have massed their adiectives.
1t is a trap in which only the unwary will be
caught.
