Washington, Jan. 2s.-Universal
military training and service will be
brought much nearer If the gigantic
plans Of the Congress Of Constructive
Patriotism, which closed here last
night. are made effective. For the first
time since the beginning OF the defence
movement by Theodore Roosevelt, Rep
resentative Gardner end other patriots
on the outbreak Of the European war,
IL has been accepted as fundamental
TO the movement that before adequate
defence can be had there must be a
reawakening of the spirit Of the found
ers of the Republic.
Education, therefore. is the watch
word Of the new and broader propa-
ganda which has grown out of the
earlier organization Of the National
Security League. Preparedness advo-
Gates have tried to build big super
structure on a flimsy foundation. Now
they propose to begin anew by laying
a groundwork Of thorough patriotism.
The pacifsts were "stumped' by this
move. Until now they have been plac-
ing some crashing shots in the pre-
paredness camp. To-day, after the
close of the big congress. there was
an attempt by the local pacihst head
quarters to deliver another broadside,
but the best they could do was to at
tack the father Of Henry A. Wise
Wood.
Mr.. Wood, 10 appears, uttered some
"unrestrained" language about the
pacifst union. He told the pacifists
that their movement was "damnably
reasonable, and that, as such. no
speaker voicing its principles should
be accorded the platform of the Con-
gress of Constructive Patriotism"
This was resented deeply by the or
ganization, whose leading exponent is
Max Eastman. Mr.. EGstman's organi-
cation, desiring an opportunity to do
something constructively patriotic by
way of diversion, had asked to be rep
resented at the congress.
The union to-day decided to wind

BIG SENATE BILLS
DOOMED BY TIME
Greater Part of the Pro-
gramme TO Fail, Despite
Night Sessions
Iron The Tnouns Bur,suI

Washington. Jan 2S.-Utterly unable
TO map out a consistent legislative pro
gramme for the remaining twenty-eight
days OF the session. the Senate Steering
Committee contented itself to-day with
determining on night sessions. with the
general idea Of getting as much done
- possible before March 4
There have been quiet chuckles on
apitol Hill over the evidently in
spired stories that the President was
unwilling to accept railroad legislation
without a strike provision clause.
Twice. by decisive votes, the Senate In
terstate Commerce Committee has re-
fused to approve a section which would
prevent strikes or lockouts during an
Investigation Of the dispute by some
governmental body. There is no chance
whatever Of such proposition passing
the Senate, and It finds little more
favor in the House. where the Demo-
cratic majority is relatively smaller.
This, however. is not a portent Of
IN extra session. for the difficulty Of
getting such legislation through would
then be largely increased due to the
changes in the House.
Except minor bills over which there
is no dispute, the appropriation bills
and the revenue measure. nothing Of
Importance will be passed, Senators pre-
dicted to-day, following the meeting Of
the steering committee. 1t is even like
ly that the Webb bill, exempting com
binatious Of exporters from the inhibi-
lions Of the Sherman antitrust law,
may fall by the wayside. This one
measure may pass, however, as the OPP
position to il, so far at least, has not
been vigorous.
The leaders do not see how in the
limited time remaining the corrupt
practices bill. the water power meas
ures or the mineral lands bill can be
passed If any attention at all is TO be
given 20 revenue and appropriation leg
islation. A few measures, such as the
Porto Rican citizenship bill, they be-
lieye can be disposed Of. The word has
been passed around that the President
does not want an extra session, and
that he probably would not call one
even should much desired general legis-
lation fail.
Another obstruction 70 business
which Democratic leaders fear is the
urgent desire of Republican Senators
10 force discussions Of President Will
sons peace address. Debate is pro-
vided for in Senator Cummins's reso-
luton and the Borah resolution TO re-
affirm the faith Of the Senate in the
Monroe Doctrine and the principles Of
Washington and Jefferson against en-
tangling foreign alliances. Several
members are known to be preparing
addresses and intend to discuss these
issues, regardless Of whether the Sen
ate votes TO set aside any time for the
debate.
President Wilson will 20 TO the Cap

programme. He expects TO remain

Charges Attempt to Prejudice
COMMISSION SAYS U. S.
WILL REBUILD BELGIUM
Industrial Board Shows Need of Sup
port After War

When the war is over the Belgians
will have to turn TO the United states
for the raw materials, the machines and
the money that they will need to re-
habilitate their stricken land. This rs
the opinion Of the American Industrial
Commission, which was sent to inquire
into the needs of the European nations
after the war by the American Manu-
facturers' Export Association. 1t IS
contained in the second instalment OF
their report, made public yesterday
The need of Belgium when peace
comes will be immediate, and yet 1t is
impossible 10 tell how great that need
will be. Behind the German trenches
no one can tell what spoliation has
been carried on.
ain view of the general situation in
Europe, it seems evident that very
large part of what is imperatlvely
needed, including financial support,
will have TO come from the United
States" the report says.
"When the end of the war comes and
the repairs for the damaged lands IN
Europe begin to rush across the Allan
tic a shortage of ships will be almost
inevitable, the commission believes.
while America is making efforts 10
rehabilitate her mercantile marine, II
is doubtful whether sufficient tonnage
can be made available to supply all de-
mands when the time comes. IL is
stated that Belgium is deeply con-
cerned in this question and has IN con-
temnlation the formation of steam
shin line to be known as the Royal Bel
piau LLOYD"

NEGLECT OF CITY
SICK ON WAY TO
ISLAND ALLEGED
Bellevue Hospital Trustees Pro
test at Delay in Transport
ing Patients

The board of trustees of Bellevue
Hospital met yesterday and decided to
send letter to the Department of
Public Charities protesting against the
manner in which patients being trans
ferred from Bellevue to the City and
Metropolitan hospitals. on BlackwelPs
Island, are handled.
Bellevue Hospital is a clearing house
for all patients who are to be sent 20
the two island institutions. 1t is the
custom TO take them down to the foot
Of East Twenty-sixth Street and there
place them on the boat which will take
them TO Blackwell's.
The Department OF Charities has set
1880 a. m. as the hour at which the
boat will arrive. Yesterday, forty pa
tients were taken to the pier shortly
after IL. The boat did not come until
80 p. m. One day last week, the i'll
men. women and children were kept
waiting from IL TO $3.50.
On both occasions the hospital sent
coffee and sandwiches to the waiting
patients, but it is said that the pier is
not properly heated and that they all
suffered
The Charities Department, il is I'M
derstood, advances the excuse that the
delay is caused by a shortage of ves-
sells. Two of their craft, the Lowell
and the Massasoit, have been sold re-
Gently and no other ships have been
purchased to take their places.

Mitchell and Prendergast
Would Welcome Fair
Investigation
APPROVE BROWN AS
COMMITTEE HEAD
Both Willing Legislature
Should Probe River
side Project

Mayor Mitchell and Controller Prem
dergast declared yesterday that moth
ing would please them better than a
fair-minded investigation by a fair
minded committee of the proposed New
York Central Riverside Drive i'm
provement. They were commenting on
the Burlingame resolution calling for
an inquiry into the plan.
"The members OF the Board of Esti-
mate who are responsible for the
presentation of the proposed form Of
agreement with the New York Central
on the West Side heartily welcome an
investigation by the Legislature OF
everything appertaining TO the pro-
posed agreement" said Controller
Prendcrgast. ave suggest that the in
quiry shall be conducted by commit
tee such as that which investigated the
city's financial affairs about year ago,
and not by one like the committee stimuli
i'taneously investigating the affairs of
the Public Service Commission. These
latter succeeded in convincing the pub
lie that the investigation was being
conducted by mountebanks and politi-
cal selfseekers.'
Controller Prendergast said that the
sooner such committee began its
work the better. The Mayor expressed
himself as in accord with all that the
Controller said, adding:
81 wish the Legislature would send
down a committee headed by Senator
Brown. He knows his job and knows
how to be fair. That is just what this
situation wants a thorough investiga-
tion of the facts and an understanding
of them"
Controller Prendergast last night
made public report by George X.
Read & Go. on the valuation of the
property involved in the contract be-
tween the city and the railroad, as well
as a report by George f.. kessleE, a
landscape architect, retained by the
Board of Estimate TO pass as an expert
on the adaptability OF the engineering
plan to Improvement of the parks
along the Hudson River front.
Mr. Kessler's report is a general APP
p-oval of the engineering plan from
the standpoint of a landscape archi-
tect. He recommends that the railroad
tunnel be constructed in Riverside
Park as planned, subject to such dis
position of additional earth covering
as specific park plans may require.
George r. Read & Co.'S figures on
the $16,200,0 900 involved show a net diff
ference Of S3I 500 from the appraisal
of the Department of Finance. This
difference represents an additional
charge against the railroad company
above that shown by the figures of the
Department of Finance.
