Maj. Gen. Gu||ion
Addresses Banquet
OF Sons Of Revolution
Judge Advocate General
Of Army Urges Strong
National Defense

A strong national defense was
urged last night by Maj. Gen Allen
w. Gullion, judge advocate general
of the Army, in an address to the
golden jubilee banquet of the Dis
trict Society of the Sons of the
Revolution.
The speakers remarks were met
by general applause from members
of the organization, which was cele-
brating in the Willard Hotel its 50th
anniversary as a District society.
Gen. Gullion said there existed two
reasons for the celebration last
night: The first was to honor the
ancestors of the present Sons of the
Revolution and the second reason
was to preserve the institutions for
which they fought and in which
they believed
The members of the society, he
said, are resolved to protect the
| United States. This country must
be protected from immigration and
. therefore it has regulatory immigra-
| ton laws, he said.
I'VE believe the Monroe doctrine
is as vital to our freedom today as it
was when it was proclaimed. We are
advocates of an adequate national
defense"
He added that he was encouraged
by the applause the audience gave
the defense reference.
Discusses Needs.
Refusing to discuss our interna-
tlonal relations, Gen. Gullion said
whether one is an advocate of this
country joining the League of Ma
tions. an isolationist or holds mid
dle-of-the-road' views, he must ad-
NIT this country can depend only
upon itself for protection in case of
attack, the speaker declared
Congress has very wisely reviewed
our defense needs he told the gath
ering. IF we control the sea. we do
not need large standing army be-
cause of our geographical advantage
1T seems economically unsound
to build superior fleets to be placed
off both of our ocean shores, but it
is equally unsound to have an in
ferlor fleet in either of these
oceans For this reason. keeping
the Panama Canal open is of prime
Importance to the safety of the
Nation. Each part of the fleet can
ward off first attacks until aug
mented by the other part. This
country also needs strong air and
naval bases and increased shore
batteries and air force he said.

Rochester, league batting cham
pion, was held to IA hits in the first
three games, but had field day last
night, bombarding six Louisville
pitchers for 20 hits to win, 13 to 3,
and square the series at two games
apiece.
louisville, which finished next to
last in team batting in its league,
made 10 hits, but tight pitching in
the pinches by Mike Ryba and John
Grodzicki and smart fielding by
Harry Davis and Marty Marion
pinched of most of the scoring
chances. Ryba thus avenged his de-
feat in the first game.
Manager Bill Burwell of Louisville
likely will call on Big Jim Weaver to
hurl tonight's battle while Skipper
Bill Southworth probably will start

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Presi-
dent Clark Griffith of the Ma
tionals, who for three consecutive
years has carried his pitcher to
the well with more than average
success, will try again tonight
when the annual draft of the top
minor league players is conducted
at the hotel headquarters OF
baSeball's high commissioner,
Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lands.
Griffith, who drafted Pitcher
Pete Appleton in 1896; Pitcher
Dutch Leonard in 1887 and In
fielder Charley Colbert in 1888,
refuses to commit himself on the
draft tonight. The old gentleman
hints that he has one or two
players in mind but refuses to
reveal their identities. 1t is be-
lieved. however, that Grifith's
aim is to acquire a hight-handed
hitting outflelder.
Appleton, drafted from Mon
treal, still is Griff's ace relief
pitcher. Leonard, drafted from
Atlanta, won IL games for the
Mats last year and joined the Sc
lect 20-game group this year.
Colbert proved valuable in 1899
as a utility third baseman and
