War Legislation
Before Congress

Briefly summarized congress,
within the next fortnight, hopes to
provide:
Naturalization of the state mill
tia, bringing it and the regular es-
tablishment to war strength; crea-
ton of an additional army of $780,
900 men, with provisions for the rails
ing of other units as fast as training
facilities are available. Administra-
ton proposes selective draft system
to accomplish this.
Increasing the strength of the
navy and marine corps so that 1t will
be able to undertake offensive and
defensive operations against Ger
many.
Authorization of a second bond is
sue which will enable the United
States to extend credit of $780,
100000 to the entente, especially
France and Russia, while expanding
similar sum to perfect it's own mil
itary establishment. A total of some
$6,75O,OO is to be raised.
Perfection of new system of tax
alton to permit the nation to in part
"pay as it goes" which will raise
$1,75O,OOO,OOO and s2,O0O,0OO,O 900
annually.
An espionage system which will
end German anti-American activity
in this country and provide for the
arrest of aliens and German sympa-
thizers who are plotting against the
government.
A system of conservation which
will enable the nation to prevent
waste of all commodities, especially
foodstuffs.
A system of CONSUMPTION to apply
to skilled labor, and especially
trained men in every walk in life,
whose services will increase efficiency
and hasten the conclusion of the war.
Cooperation between the entente
and the United States in the form of
operation of government ship lines
and providing for adequate insur-
ance, so that the German submarine
attacks to starve the entente will be
rendered negligible.
1t is admitted that 1t is a compre-
hensive program which congress
faces, but the administration forces
are in control and speedy action is
looked for. Meanwhile the other
branches Of the government are rum
ming at top speed with their work Of
preparation.

ISLAND PURCHASE
FO|LED GERMANY
KAISER PLANNED ZEPPELIN
AND SUBMARINE BASE IN
WEST INDIES.

The main purpose of the United
States in purchasing the Danish
West Indies from Denmark was to
defeat known German plans to es-
tablish Zeppelin and submarine
base there, says a dispatch from CO.
penhagen.
1t was learned on the highest au-
thority, the dispatch says, that
months ago when the United States
began carefully appraising the possi-
bilities of conflict with Germany,
this scheme of the imperial govern
ment to seize the islands and estab-
lish a base of operations against the
United States came to light. 1t was
this reason, 1t then declares, that Inn
PEELED America to open negotiations
with Denmark for transfer of this
strategic position to the American
flag.
Whether Germany planned forci-
bly, to seize the islands or to pur-
chase them from Denmark was not
clear. Denmark, because of its geo.
graphical position, is dominated by
Germany and for reasons of national
safety would undoubtedly have &C
guessed in whatever course Ger
many demanded.
