GUARD WILL NEED
SOME $3,OOO,OOO
To Provide Armories Will Re-
quire an Appropriation Pro-
gram of Six Years

Between $4,000. 600 C1d s4,O0O,0 ,000
will be needed to provide armory facil-
tiles for thirty or so organizations OF
the National Guard of Pennsylvania
so that they may be properly housed
and equipment cared for under the
national defense act according to esti-
mates made and it is likely that at the
coming conference of members of the
State Armory board and Legislators
with the governor that an appropria-
tion program extending over a per-
iod of four or six or eight years Will
be discussed. Some years ago the
board presented bill which would
have provided an armory for every
organization in the Guard on fit
ting scale, 1t being the plan to extend
the building operations over several
years, but this plan could not be car
ried out because of lack of funds.
The return of a number of organi-
cations with new units such as ma
chine guns, organizations which have
changed to artillery and of some
which are materially stronger in num-
bers and which will grow more so has
caused many problems.
The State now has As armories, in
cluding some which are leased and
about thirty more are needed. In
Philadelphia two armorieS would
have to be bought and in Pittsburgh
the leased buildings would probably
be acquired by the State. Tire State
has spent for armories less than $2,-
100000, but secured value of $780,
600 more because in many instances
substantial donations of cash were
made by communities or land donated
by counties or municipalities. The
construction work could be distributed
over a period of years so that when
the organizations reach the maximum
of strength contemplated by the ma
tional act there would be provision
for them while attention could also be
given to further development of ma
chine gun, aviation, signal and other
auxiliary work.

.SCHWAB OFFERS
HAND OF PEACE
Says His Plant Would Build
Two Warships at Cost
If Necessary

Washington, Jan. 27.-Charles NJ.
Schwab. president of the Bethlehem
Steel Company. and Josephus Daniels,
Secretary of the Navy, had q "get
together" talk yesterday for two hours
on matters of ordnance and ship build
ing contracts.
Mr.. Schwab sought the interview,
coming to Washington without any
prior engagement and simply an
nouncing himself at the office of the
Secretary. lie told Mr.. Daniels that
he came in the spirit of desiring to
convince him that the Bethlehem steel
plant and it's subsidiary interests were
an asset upon which the government
could depend in time of need.
He left Mr.. Daniels in a SHOW me"
frame of mind. The heart-to-heart
talk did not apparently succeed in
cutting though the mutual distrust
of Mr.. Schwab and the Secretary of
the Navy. 1t was taken as favorable
indication that following the talk
| neither Mr.. Daniels nor Mr.. Schwab
would make any statement for publi-
! cation.
The bombardment between the two
men in public statements has appar-
! emily been halted while an effort is
made to arrange an understanding.
Will Build the Two Plants
Mr.. Daniels told Mr.. Schwab that it
was a settled matter that the govern
ment would build and operate an ar
NOR plant and a prejectile factory,
but he said the government would give
only one-third of it's business to the
| government plant and two thirds to
private factories provided the prices
and quality OF material of private maxi
ers, are satisfactory. With the increase
in navy needs, said Mr. Daniels. this
two-thirds would doubtless be larger
in the future than the total purchases
| in the past
But as matters now stand, said Mr..
Daniels, the prices bid by Bethlehem
Gnd other American makers on pro-
jectiles were unsatisfactory. He add
ed that he did not contemplate award
! ing any contract at those figures and
as an indication of what he does in
tend to do If lower prices are not Of
| fered he issued instructions to have de-
signs and machinery in the projectile
| factory pushed through at once.
Begin Work in Spring
Il expect work to begin on the
plant in the spring." said Secretary
| Daniels, "and the machinery will be
advertised for soon."
Regarding the reserve projectiles,
which the British government declined
to permit Hadfields to manufacture,
Secretary Daniels said it would be un-
necessary to readvertise for bids from
American munition makers in order to
place the award with them, and that
he would welcome new proposals. In
| case u satisfactory offer is not received
before the proposed government fac
tory is completed the order will he
filed by the government itself.

No; the Arnold report did not so

the public comfort stations, which Mr.
Arnold includes as an essential part
of the Improvement, are indicated.
indeed, none of those who have re-
ported on this project have opposed
the isle of safety in Market Square,
and none have been adverse to the
location of the public comfort sta
tions in Market Square.
The Arnold report, which was
made before the New York traffic re-
port was obtained, provided for a
third track in Market Square, which
so far the League has not been con-
WINGED would be admissible from the
point of view of public safety and well
