Strength Of
'Defenses To
Be Enlarged
Full Peacetime Per-
sonnel not Called
Now; President Will
Call Congress if He
Can Be Assured of
Votes for His Neu-
trality Plan.

Washington, Sept. s.
(AP)-President Roosevelt to-
day proclaimed a 'limited ma
tional emergency" to safeguard
United States neutrality and to
strengthen national defense.
Emphasizing at press con-
ference that under no circum-
stances would the nation be put
on wartime basis, the Presi-
dent said the proclamation
would involve increases in the
military branches, but not to
the extent Of the full authorized
peacetime strength.
The President said that four
executive orders would be issued by
the attorney general later in the
day authorizing the following four
steps under the proclamation:
l. Recruiting for the army and
calling back first line reserves, to
increase the enlisted strength, but
nowhere near the full 100000
peacetime authorization. The actual
increase has not yet been decided.
2. Increase the navy personnel,
but not to the full extent of the
10000 peacetime authorizat ation.
The navy now has between $4,000
and 100000 men, and this figure
will be increased to a total not yet
determined. The increase also will
affect the National Guard and
Marine Corps, all to fill in what
the President described as chinks
and gaps in the military branches.

WHAT OF THE NEW YEAR?

Government economists unanimously agree that i'm
provement IN business will be the keynote of the year
Business in the first quarter expected to be rather
draggy gradual upsWing will start in early spring and
continue through much of the year
National income 81 billion in $685. is expected to
be from 90 to 70 billion in 1882 was 80 billion in 1929
Unemployment is expected to drop from the present 10
million to Millions WPA rolls expected to shrink
from million, the present number to million and under
Industrial profits, which dropped in 1888 will prob
ably rise IN 1899 to the 1887 level
Recovery expected be supported by three strong
factors-home construction, automobile production and
government spending and lending The middle Of the wear
will see government spending at the high pont-about
S35000O0OO month of borrowed money.
Congress expected to talk great deal but act slowly
The federal budget will continue out of balance-to
the extent of billion dollars Unemployment. relief is
remain the nations biggest single expense.
One of the unsolved problems will be the farm difficulty
Farmers will continue to receive larger government subsi
dies No tinkering with money
There will be more strikes than in 1888
is said that earmament will be used to keep the pub
lies mind off internal difficulties The White House will
shape foreign policy that will end in American par
tclpation IN affairs abroad.
Well-informed sources forecast that there will be no
European in 1889. All of Germany's energy will be
occupied in her penetration to the eastward
Italy will not fight France but will be given minor con-
cessions in Africa
England will not clash with Germany Her policy will
be planned for eventual struggle between Germany and
Russia
The United States and Great Britain will not fight japan
lnorder to keep the open door in China However they
will both continue to lodge vigorous protests with Japan
against her slamning of the open door
Tensions expected to increase inside totalitarian
governments The democraces will be forced to face high
y important problems But troubles abroad will bring
about easier reconciliation between conflicting policies in
America.

Of the park. delivered the check
to the Longmire Springs Co. of
Tacoma. which firm held the prop

in 1883 and upon which he staked
mineral claims.
White Settlement
Although the property involved
comprises only ls.2 acres of land,
the Longmire site has figured
prominently In the development
and use of this national park.
James Longmire established the
first white settlement within the
area that later was to become a
park and this village became the
nucleus around which the park has
been developed.
Longmire Springs was a summer
vacation area and health resort
long before Paradise valley and
other parts Of the park were de-
veloped. Winter sports, too, were
enjoyed here before popularized at
Paradise valley. Now thousands
