INDEPENDE N.CE
A Truth to HOME OWNERS
A Myth to RENT PAYERS

You hear a great deal of talk these days
about INDEPENDENCE. Has it occurred to
you that YOU ARE NOT INDEPENDENT IF
YOU PAY REMIT
Renters, you are slaves to your landlords.
Every month the lions share of your hard-earned
money must be exchanged for worthless bit
of paper"-a rent receipt.
Break your bonds Mr.. Renter!
Be happy contented home-owner-conn-
mand the respect of your fellowmen. Live in
brand-new well-built home with every modern
convenience-pay for it with the money you are
now needlessy spending for rent.
That's real INDEPENDENCE!
Here are some home suggestions from
headquarters"

First Step Is to Raise 100000
Asked by Wilson.
REGULAR ARMY TO 1880, 900
War Dept Plans Complete to
Enlist Half Million.
Military Suicide for q. S. to
Send Army Abroad Now.

Washington, April 3.-Three mil
lion to five million men will probably
be raised for Americas armies.
At least one cabinet member wants
three million as a minimum; army
men recommend up to five million.
The process will be to get them in
increments-in groups-of five hun
dred thousand as rapidly as they can
be officered.
Chairman Chamberlain of the senate
military committee says the incre-
mentS can be obtained at an annual
expense of S156, 100000 each; the gen.
eral staff, however, estimates a far
higher amount.
The navy may be raised to 1906
men, as against a persent author
lied war strength of $1,000.
War Departments Plans Ready.
The definite plans of the war de-
partment are waiting to go forward
to congress when it is ready to re-
ceive them.
President Wilson gave a clear view
of the immediate steps to be urged in
his address but until the department s
plan has been submitted. however de-
tails are regarded as confidential.
The first element of the plan, the
president has already disclosed. 1t is
the assembling of 100000 men under
a universal service system as an addi-
ton to the regular army and national
guard which would provide a total
war strength force of 100000. 1t is

House Rules Suspended to Ex-

Washington, April 3.-Leaders to-
day planned to have the house pass
perfunctorily four important appro-
priation bills which the senate failed
to act on at the last session in prac-
tically the same form as passed by the
house of the last congress and rein
troduced yesterday. They are:
Army, carrying s24T,061,10S.

army and military academy measures
were to be pressed thru within "a
hours under an agreement between
Democrats and Republicans.
Austria Must Stay Out of 1t.
Austria is by no means averted, ac-
cording to the general view here today.
Instead, in postponing discussion of
the situation, President Wilson merely
served notice that unless Austria keeps
hands off in the war between the
United States and Germany, she, too,
must come under the ban.

after the president finished his ad-

attitude of the neutral governments
Count Czernin's proposal will shortly
