ADVOCATES THREE
AMERICAN FLEETS
Retired Major General Gives His
Ideas of What Country Needs
for Defense.
BEFORE SENATE COMMITTEE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Hear.
ings on the administration army in
crease bill may be concluded by tue
senate military committee and work
Of redrafting the measure begun
early next week.
Major General Arthur Murray, re-
tired, and Brigadier General Crozier,
chief of ordnance. were before the
senate and house committee, re-
spectively, today General Murray
said that for the actual defense of
the United States territory alone,
and without considering mainte-
nance Of the Monroe doctrine or pro-
tecting the interests of Americans
abroad, a regular army virtually
three times its present size and three
strong fleets for the navy would be
necessary.
General Murray believed, he said, a
peace strength army of 10000 regulars
5000 Of whom would be on overseas
duty, could be relied upon to protect the
men could be formed and trained.
First Defense Line.
As first line of defense. General Muir
ray suggested a fleet of four to eight
fast, powerful battleships or battle cruis-
ers in the Pacific. based az Pearl harbor.
and surrounded by necessary auxiliaries
For the Atlantic, he proposed two fleets
of at least six battleships each, based at
nd Tstta ,.t.
The mobile troops, General Murray
said, should be grouped In three divisions
for training purposes. one on the Pacific
and two on the Atlantic coasts and the
remainder scattered in regimental posts
In all. he would provide five divisions for
the Pacific and eight for the Atlantic.
General Murray proposed that the en-
hstment period be cut TO one year for
infantry ana eighteen months for other
arms. with no obligation as 20 reserve
duty thereafter. The schema he said
wuld turn out 10000 well-trained men
annually who could be relied upon to en-
list In time of war without the necessity
of keeping in touch with them or paying
them.
''Ripe for Overhau1ing."
General Crozier said that while the
government was not now manufacturing
machine guns. II had a contract with the
American holder Of the Vickers gun pat
ents. British weapon. which would soon
supply these in ample numbers. The
whole subject of the number of guns
necessary however, was ripe for over
hauling" he added. and he believed the
European war had shown the necessity
for provision of these weapons on a scale
never heretofore dreamed of.
He instanced report that ninety Ger
man soldiers with forty machine guns had
kept a whole French army at bay for
weeks.

Nobody ever saw a lovelier bridal bou-
quot than that sent by Vaughn Spalding
to his bride-to-be, Miss Florence Cudahy.
II was white orchids and white lilacs and
the laciest, freshest, loveliest thing TIM
aginable.
And when the newly married Mr.. and
Mrs Spalding came down the stairs
the Cudahy house in Banks street in
their travelling clothes. the bride wearing
orchids this time, she gave the lovely
bouquet such wonderful wailop that Il
flew away over the heads OF the ex-
pectant bridesmaids into the arms OF n
waiter. The waiter. unlike most OF his
kind. had real presence of mind, and in
stead of keeping the bouquet as his law
full prize. hurled IL aloft, where Miss
Bobsey Fuller gleefully caught Il.
In the excitement caused by this diver
sion the bridal couple disappeared out of
the back door into a waiting machine,
and nobody even had a peep at the going
away gown. which must have been some-
thing simply chic, for Mrs. spaidins
dresses like young dream.
For the rest, the Cudahy-Spalding we'd
ding was as magnificent as the Cudahy-
Niblack wedding. which is saying a great
deal. and one wonders why Edward
Cudahy is not declaring a moratorium,
or something like that after two such
splendid and lavish nuptial entertain
ments in one short season.
Mrs Spalding was married in white
tulle with a court train OF white satin
yards long The cathedral aisIes were
decked with standards of gray spring
flowers. and Mr.. Spalding's ushers knew
their business marvelously and were not
consulting note books TO see who was to
sit in Z and who was to be planted in z.
