FEAR Of JAPANESE
CAUSES RECRUITING
SENATORS DISCLOSE WHY WAR
DEPARTMENT DEFIEs WISHES
OF CONGRESS.
HAWAII POORLY DEFENDED
Phelan Declares II Would Be a Great
Mistake To Reduce Size of the
Regular Army Now-War Dam
ger Discussed.

Washington.-The Japanese men
ace, Democratic senators declared
was responsible for the defiant atti
tude of the War Department toward
the will of Congress against continued
army recruiting at this time.
In opposing and preventing action
on Senator News resolution to limit
the size of the army to $4,000 men,
senators disclosed that the War De.
partment has plans for immediate
strengthening of the garrisons in Ha-
wall, Panama and other important
strategic points in the Pacific.
Danger Of war with Japan was dis
cussed with reservation by Senator
Phelan Of California, who sought t.
impress upon the Senate that it would
be a great mistake now to reduce the
size of the army. He also urged milk
itary training and inquired what had
become of the agitation for this prin.
ciple Of national defense.
Senator Fletcher of Florida, told the
Senate without reservation that one OF
the principal reasons for the War De.
partment's action in continuing re.
cruiting despite the attitude of ma
jority in Congress against it was the
plan to greatly augment the Pacific
garrisons. Adoption of the New reso-
luton to suspend enlistments. he
said. would make it impossible to car
~ out these plans.
Senator Phelan, supporting the
statement, declared that the defense
of Hawaii "the key to the Pacific"
depended largely upon the Hawaiia,
National Guard which, he insisted.
was recruited to a considerable extent
from Japanese of questionable 10y

The Senate debated the New reso.
luton for two hours at the conclusion
of which, by vote of "a to 20, it was
pushed aside to make way for con-
tinued consideration Of the Muscle
Shoals nitrate bill. It is probable that
the resolution may be brought up
again.
Meanwhile Senator Wadsworth of
New York declared that the army is
receiving enlistments at the rate of
2,420 daily. at an aggregate cost of
nearly $2.500.000 day to the govern
ment.

DELAY IN GETTING
GRAVEL IS BLAMED
TIME Is ALL WE NEED SAYS BUlE
IN ROAD QUIZ AT NATcHI-
TOCHES.
CITIZENS FEEL IMPOSED ON
One of the Objections Is the Excessive
Cost of Concrete Bridge Built On
This Highway but Not Included in
Contract Price.

Natchitoches. La.-At a joint meet.
ing of committees from the grand
jury, police jury and Chamber of
Commerce here to further pursue an
investigation Of the conduct of the
Jefferson Highway contract in this
parish. State Highway Engineer
Gaines and the contractor, w. s. Bon
ner, we're present and the whole
matter was threshed out, but little
Roadway was made as to finding out
anything about the past business.
The investigation was brought
about by the Chamber of Commerce
and taken up by the grand jury last
month. Impatience on the part of the
taxpayers over the delay and unsatis-
factory manner in which the work has
proceeded was manifested. Many
rumors and undersufface charges of
graft and improper expenditures of
public money were afloat, but 1t now
seems that most of the items were
outside of the Jefferson Highway
project and only Incidental to 1t.
One of these items was the appar-
emily excessive cost of a concrete
bridge built ON this highway by the
parish but not included in the con-
tract price. Engineer Buie assured
the Joint committee and interested
citizens that the parishes interested
were being looked after, that the
whole trouble was caused by the in
ability, to procure the gravel for the
job and this difficulty was caused by
the shortage of cars, and the absence
Of unloading facilities. He argued for
patience and suggested that time
was all that we needed now"
Lately gravel has begun to come in
and the citizens feel in q moro hope
full mood over the matter. Contractor
Bonner said that he had done the best
he could. that the duty of furnishing
the gravel was on the police jury, and
while he knew the trouble was beyond
its control he should not be blamed.
Some of the citizens and taxpayers
generally feel that they were imposed
on by having such provision inserted
in the contract and say that the stated
purposes was to give the contractor
the benefit of the low freight rate &C
corded parishes and that strict inter-
probation has unduly benefited the
contractor and given q loop-hole for
delay.
II IL believed that the work will
progress from now on. Provisions for
switching facilities on the Normal
School switch was made. -
