voeated in an address prepared by
Major General Leonard Wood and

which was to have been delivered Sat-

1--WE mt to extend our good bust

to do that one Of the most powerful
influences will be to spread the war

coming Stacker estates. That is, they
are going into safe Investments, in

strangle hold off American enterprise" /"
Discussing foreign trade, General
Wood proposed the United States should
push it to the limit"
Il think we want strong, courteous
foreign policy" he continued. eve do
not want to become entangled in the
affairs Of other people too much, but
we do want to build up well-defned

because the competition Is going to be
very severe after time. For q year
or two it is going to be pretty easy
because the great producing nations Of
Europe are doing very little now, and
we have an opportunity such as we
never had before"
General Wood believes Congress will
adopt the treaty with reservations
which Americanize It," He said:
II am inclined to thing that Is about
the way the thing will come out; that
we shall have reservations which will
absolutely insure US complete inde-
pendence Of action, and at the same
time provide the machinery which will
enable US to get together with other
people and discuss things before we
resort to force. 1t will be sort Of a

But 1t is very important. as l see it,
shat action be taken and the people of
the country be allowed to turn their
attention to the development Of their

TONS"
General Wood urged that national
health demanded Federal department

We can have sound department OF

Squadron A to Have
Biggest Armory and
Riding Ring in U. S.
Board Decides to Consoli-
date Its Present Quarters
With Those Built for the
Eighth Coast Artillery

The Armory Board has decided to
turn over to Squadron A the armory
that was built Tor the 9th Coast Artil-
lery Corps, at Park Avenue and Ninety
fourth Street, and which adjoins the
squadron armory at Ninety-fourth
Street and Madison Avenue. Plans
have been adopted whereby the two
armories will be consolidated, and work
will be commenced at once. The new
armory has never been used, although
practically completed before war was
declared.
The newly consolidated arnories will
give the squadron the largest armory
in the United States, taking in the en-
tire block bounded by Ninety-9 fourth
and Ninety-afth streets and Madison
and Park avenues. 1t will give the
squadron tho largest riding ring Of
any mounted organization. The riding
ring will be lSO by 800 feet-larger
permit thrilling feats In horsemanship
and give unlimited room for the in
struction In rough riding, which Is to
be feature Of the review Major
Nathaniel Egleston will order as soon
as the squadron is in its new home.
The new armory will have stable ac-
comm odations for 800 horses, so the
troopers may keep their own horses
there.
The increased space will afford op-
portunities for devotees Of riding to
enjoy that pastime, as the floor is to be
covered with tanbark at once. The
polo team will have almost as much
room as it would on an outdoor field,
and can play the game until the weather
permits Of outdoor activities with the
same thrills as in the open.
Another advantage will be to give tho
squadron the largest indoor rifle range
of any military organization in the
state. A range 200 yards long will be
built and full service ammunition may
be used, 30 that in all respects the
musketry practice will be practically
the same as outdoors. This branch Of
the service is to be specialized in, as
the squadron is anxious to maintain
the standard Of the old organization.
which was famous as one Of the best
shooting military units in the United
States
