ITS FAME RESTS
ON PREPAREDNESS
Congress That Has lust Passed
Responded to Demand for
Defense Acts.
INCREASED NAVY AND ARMY
Vast Sums Appropriated for Fighting
Vessels-Ship Purchase. Child La
Dor, immigration and Other
important Laws Passed.

Washington, March 5.-On it's re-
spouse TO the popular demand for ma
tional preparedness will rest the fame
has just expired. Though it also en-
acted some economic statutes of great
moment, the preparedness measures
stand out above all other legislation.
Although ample provision has been
made for Notifications, and authority
has been granted by congress to more
than double the standing army of the
country, the metamOrphOsis of the
United States from commercial to
Sighting nation has been wrought
by the naval increases authorized.
The congress now expired has au-
thOriZed naval ornaments destined to
make Uncle Sam eventually the peer
of any nation on earth in sea power,
excepting, perhaps, Great Britain.
In the two sessions comprising the
Sixty-fOurth congress there have
been authorized and appropriated for
no less than 118 war craft. Nor is
this all. The first session adopted a
three-year-buiiding program, the con-
stTuct;on of which should be under
taken prior to July /, 1913. This pro-
gram Included this allotment of fight
ing ships: Ten battleships, six battle
cruisers, ten scout cruisers, 80 torpedo
boat deStrOyers, nine fleet submarines,
50 coast submarines, one experimental
submarine (Neff system), three fuel
ships, one repair ship, one transport,
one hospital ship, two destroyer ten
ders, one fleet submarine tender, two
ammunition ships, two gunbOats.
Naval Vessels Appropriated For.
BY the act which adopted this build
ing program congress appropriated
for four battleships, four battle cruis-
ers, four scout cruisers, 20 destroyers,
30 submarines, and one each of these
craft: Experimental submarine, fuel
ship, hospital ship, ammunition ship
and gunbOat. During the second ses-
sion provision was made for three bat
tleshipS, one battle cruiser, three scout
cruisers, 10 deStrOyers, one destroyer
tender, one submarine tender and 10
submarines.
If the Sixty-fifth congress adopts the
three-year program the remainder of
the units for the reorganized battle
fleet will be appropriated for next
year. Staggering sums have been re-
quired to meet these demands the ma
val appropriation for the second ses-
sion of the expired congress alone
amounting to almost a round half-bil-
lion dollars.
SO great have been these expendi-
lures that the ordinary sources of rev.
enue are not sufficient and a special
revenue measure had to be passed
Representative Kitchin, majority lead
er and chairman of the house ways
and means committee, a small-navy
man, in drafting the revenue measure
and pressing it to passage through the
house charged full responsibility for
the measure to the advocates OF pre-
paredness.

Increase of the Army,

Increases of the regular army and its
reOrganizations under the national de-
Tense act were less striking than the
naval increases. But the regular army
was increased from an authorized
peace strength of 100000 to an author
lied peace strength of 216,O00, capable
of expansion in war time to 256, 600
After prolonged agitation for prepared
ness both on land and sea, the cOnsen-
sus of the military experts was that the
United States with it's enormous length
of coast line must rely on it's fleet to
defend its shores.
In the discussions that preparedness
agitation in congress provoked it was
again and again demonstrated that the
temper of the American people is alb
solutely against big standing army
Former Secretary Garrison formulated
and laid before congress with Presi-
dent Wilson's approval a scheme for a
Continental army to be recruited and
trained under the universal military
training principle. Representative Hay
of Virginia, then chairman of the DOW
erful house military committee, Op-
posed the Continental army idea and
substituted for ii in the national de-
Tense act, the liberalization of the Ma
tional Guard. Mr.. Hay won President
Wilson over to his way of thinking-the
Federalized National Guard became the
second line of the land defenses and
Secretary Garrison resigned from the
cabinet.

The Princeton Leader Of
Thursday said;
Judge C. s. Num-. Demo-
cratic nominee for State Senator
lost Caldwell and Crittenden
counties to W. ]. Deboe, his Re.
publican opponent, but carried
Webster county. which gave him
a good majority in the district,
and he will be our next State
Senator.
Old Webster remaining true to
her colors saved the day for
judge Num- because Caldwell
flickered. giving Deboe a major
lty of 163 and Crittenden gave
D Doe a majority of 3l3. How
ever. Webster gave Num- a
majority OF TIC. For an off
year Judge Num- made remark

A Soldiers Dream.

When the shining sun has hid he face
Behind the dark pine trees;
And the moso aud starlight softly falls
On the woodland. gulf aud sea:
When the low hum Of the city
Dies In si,eNce. reet and sleep.
Then ia dream, | see our heroes
At the front Ear over the deep.
In dreams hear the cannon . thunder,
And see the giisten,ng bsyonets dart.
While SONS mother, soldier boy
Lies dead aud bleeding at the heart.
Ger the treoch see Old Glory
Waving nId the battle gloom.
And the Germans fast retreating
To their land Of death and gloom.
can hear the captains calling.
Both Americans and the French.
To their boys who are fighting
Beside each other 10 the trench.
And alas, the shattered buildings
Falling at the bursting shell;
While the poison gas is floating.
Making war Ia France h--ll.
And again I see the captain
Az against the deck he leans,
With his Lieuterant'. and field glasses,
Spying out the submarines.
Then hear our canoon firing
That &C .oes o'er the briny waves
And ts,e U-bosts 20 downward
To their lsne'y s,abed graves.
