Mr.. Roosevelt made indirect ref
erence to this yesterday when he
said that very little had been spent
on defense between 1921 and 1893,
making 1t necessary for the country
through the past seven years to
make up for lost time. First we had
to catch up, he said, now we have
to keep up.
The House Naval Committee al
ready has tackled the problem Of
speeding up tagging fleet construc-
ton.
It opened an investigation yester-
day of the delays in completion Of
68 warships now on the ways and
heard the Navy recommend a $780,
0OO,0 900 additional appropriation at
this session to accelerate the work.
Chairman Sheppard of the Senate
Military Affairs Committee intro
duced a bill yesterday authorizing
appropriation of $4,000. 900 for gen.
eral repair work at existing military
establishments. Included was an
$84, 900 program at Fort Myer and
more extensive ones at Aberdeen,
Edgewood, Fort Belvoir and Fort
Monroe.
Although Mr.. Roosevelt made 1t
plain he would make no recon-
mendations to Congress regarding
the financing of the expanded Army
Navy program, some sentimen was
developing in both houses in favor
of special taxes to raise the money
Earlier this year, the President rec
commended that new taxes be i'm
posed to raise $460 .000, 900 for de-

THE defense fight around Mar
vik continues,
Germany sought to extend the
scope of her newest conquest by urg-
ing Belgium to follow the Dutch
example.
Hour after hour. starting early ia
the morning, all German radio sta
tions broke in on their programs
with appeals to the Belgian soldiers
to lay down their arms.
In Flemish and in French the
soldiers were told that Germany
does not wish to harm the Belgian
people, that the German invasion
Of Belgium was brought about be-
cause Great Britain and France

The Belgian defenders were re-

Premier Hubert Pierlot in broad
cast to the nation said the Belgians

and insisted there had been no Ger

The Liege Notifications, he said,
were taking a terrific toll of Ger

The capture of Liege has been
claimed by the German high COM
mand.
The Belgian government asserted
it would remain In Brussels, objec-

Belgium.
M. Pierlot declared "the situation

CONFLICTING VIEWS

Neutral experts IN London be-
lieve Hitler will not attempt TO
invade the British Isles this an.
tumn. but in Berlin officials seem
confident that Britain viii be
knocked out IN d few weeks, Hugh
Baillie, president Of the United
Press. said IN an address at the
annual banquet OF the Colorado
State Chamber OF Commerce.
THE British general staff still
expects an invasion and would Ike
1t TO come now Baillie said, but
there is a growing belief among
military and naval attaches OF neu-
trail embassies IN London that HIT
Ter will not make a frontal attack
on Britain this autumn.
Comments OF this kind bring
most dependable information be-
cause OF limited detail allowed by
censors in press dispatches. Ac-
cording to best available informa-
ton, Nj. Baillie says, the war Is
likely 10 develop as follows:
Hitler will continue 10 bomb
Britain. especially at night. with
the aim OF disruptinE war produc-
ton and making the people war
weary.
and italy will do their
utmost 10 bring Spain into the
war. IN order 10 seal up the west

Italy, with German support.
especially in the air, will drive to-
ward the Nile and the Suez Canal
The canal is the key to the oil
fields Of Iraq and Iran and the
whole African continent. II the
British cannot check the axis pow
>ers on the Nile. 1t will be difficult
to- prevent the Italians and Ger
mans from overrunning the contin-
emit and getting control OF the sec
ond great Empire route around the
Cape OF Good Hope.
The British. however, have mass
ed strong forcesEu Egypt and feel
so sure OF themselves at home that
they have sent large quantities Of

points has sufficiently softened

then the question is whether IN
relieved bad weather may bog
down the attempt until spring thus
dragging Europe into second win
ter OF war.
British resistance, beyond a
doubt. has surprised the German
people. but military and political
officials still seem confident they
can clean up the situation IN .

While the betting in Berlin Is
strong for an early German vic

communicates itself to the nerve.
Theoretically any focal infection
will produce sciatic neuritis, but
the great majority Of sciatics are
what the medical profession call,
with a great show Of apparent
learning, "idiopathic," which
means in plain language that they
are a disease by itself and nobody
knows what the cause Of il is.
Pain being the principal symp-
tom, relief Of pain is the only cri-
terion of cure. Its all the patient
cares about, anyway.
The best treatment is some form

sionally sciatica clears up after
the proper treatment of abscessed

Rest, the greatest universal

contrivances, which cured him in

Another orthopedic device is TO
put traction on the leg by the use
Of one Of those pulley devices also

immobilizing broken legs. This
pulls the nerve taut and keeps
bony projections and tendons from
