WILL BALL ROLLING BY ADDRESSING MANHATTAN CLUB
ON IBER 4—HAS SANCTIONED PLANS OF ARMY AND
NAVY DEPARTMENTS FOR INCREASED EXPENDITURES AND
WILL ASK CONGRES| FOR $400,000,000 FOR ARMY AND NAVY—
SECRETARY GARRISON FAVORS REGULAR ARMY OF 250,000
MEN AND CREATION OF RESERVE FORCE OF 400,000 EVERY
THREE YEARS.
canvass of the members of both the
senate and house shows that a ma
jority of both houses favor greater
preparedness but the President wants
the people’s endorsement.
President Wilson will ask congress
to' appropriate $400,000,000 for the
army and navy,a sum nearly $160,
000 in excess of the appropriations
made by congress for 1916.
The president is reported to have
fully endorsed the plans of Secretary
Garrison, of the war department, in
raising the amount which congress
will be asked to appropriate the army
from $101,019,2X2 to $184,000,000,
an additional eighty-three million dol
lars to meet the increased expendi
tures of the greater land forces which
are to be created if congress sanc
tions his plpns. ,
Secretary Garrison has perfected a
plan for the enlargement of the land
forces which he believes will meet
with the support of congress. His !
measure will increase the regular |
army from one hundred thousand to
two hundred and fifty thousand and j
will increase a reserve force of four
hundred thousand continentals, who
will be required to serve a period of
two months’ training each year for
three years, . when they would be
placed on the reserve list to be call
ed to the colors should war threaten.
Secretary Garrison believes that in
the course of a few years if his plan
is favored by congress, the United
States would build up a trained fight
ing force which would have no supe
rior in the world. His plan will also
serve in helping to keep the ranks
of the regular army up to standard
as many of the continenatals would
prefer to enlist in the regular army
than to be placed on the reserve list.
The government would also have the
advantage of securing officers who
had displayed ability in training the
continentals.

SUFFRAGE QUESTION.
NEWARK, Oct. 18.—Mass meet
ings tonight will close one of the hot
test campaigns in the history of the

active in the campaign and believe
that they will carry the election to
morrow. ...

Ptendi warships. It #is also under
stood that King Constantine has been
promised the territorial concessions
in Asia Minor demanded as the price
ef Greece’s neutrality if he actively
engages in the war on the side of the
Allies. Greece has an army of one
half million men mobilized and It Is
believed that should they join forces
with the Miles that the Dardanelles

have the effect of preventing Rumania

LONDON, Oct. 18.—The directors
of -the- recruiting commission at the
BHtish empire have Issued an an
nouncement that thrCe million more
m'en must be secured tot training for
the neW armies which Britain Will pnt
in the field next spring. Recruits in
x^gland has' been stimulated by the
recent air'falds of the German Zep
pelins and recruiting officers report
that several thousand are enlisting
daily but not sufficient to reach the
numbers demanded by Lord Kitch
ener.
It is believed that conscription will
have to be resorted to even with the
threatened danger of uprisings among
Socialists and workmen who have de
clared against a continuance of the
war. Enlistments in Scotland have
been heavy, and that nation has es
tablished the highest percentage,
population considered, of any part of
the empire.
The failure of the British diplo
mats to keep the Balkan states neu
tral has Increased the Teutonic
strength by nearly two million
trained veterans of the Balkan wars,
and will force the Allies to place an
equal number of new1 troops In the
field. Russia Is believed to have
nearly reached her limit and the rais
ing of the new armies must fall on
Britain, France and Italy.

on English Cities and Have
Suffered Little Loss.
. ; ■ ,
LONDON, Oct. IS.—More than
fifty persons are known to have been
killed as * result 6t the recent raid
by the German Zeppelins and the
Commander of1 the British' aerial fleet
is being unmercifully criticised for
the failure of. the British airmen in
defending the city from the Zeppe
lins.
It is reported that the raid, which
occurred last Wednesday night, re
sulted in property damages estimated
at $5,000,000 as the bombs caused
scores of fire to break out in the
ruins of the buildings destroyed by
the explosions.
Two hundred persons are in hos
pitals suffering from injuries sus
tained during the raid,, thirty of
whom are women or children. It is
announced that of the dead thirteen
were soldiers and the remainder civ
ilians
The press of London charges gross
Incompetence against the British air
fleet and states that millions of dol
lars has been expended every month
during the past year and that al
though Zeppelins Have made dozens
of raids ori English cities, but one
German machine has been ‘brought
down. The Manchester Guardian,
one of the leading English newspa
pers, ask: “Are we a decadent na
tion, that we cannot meet the enemy
in the air as we have on the sea by
capturing their submarines?”

VILLAITES ELATED
OVER EMBARGO
President Wilson’s Order is Impar
tial and Is Puzzling Officers
Along the Border.
NOGALES, Oct. 18.—An order has
been received here lifting the em
bargo placed upon shipments of mu
nitions of war to Mexico from the
United States, and has caused great
elation among the followers of Gen.
Villa. It is believed here some hitch
has occurred in the recognition pro
ceedings of Gen. Carranza, as the or
der lifting the embargo is general and
impartial. Great stores of rifles and
cartridges which were destined for
Villa’s armies and were stopped at
the border have been rushed across
the line into Mexico, fearing that the
order would be rescinded.
Officers of the militia are puzzled
over the lifting of the embargo and
believe that General Carranze has
succeeded in convincing the president
that his armies are in control of the
situation and that General Villa’s
forces now consist of a few scattered
bands of outlaws who feared to ac
cept amnesty if made answerable for
their crimes.

DECLARES THAT IF..DARDANELLES CAMPAIGN IS ABANDONED
AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND TROOPS WILL HAVE SACRI
FJC3P THEIR. LIVES TO DEMONSTRATE GROSS 8TUPIDITV OF
BRITISH FOREIGN OFFICE WHO MUST HAVE KNOWN FROM THE
FIRST THAT HELP, pF BALKANS, WOULD BE. REQUIRED TO
FORCE THE STRAITS AND CAPTURE THE DARDANELLES.
LONDON, Oct. 18.—The Austra
lian newspapers have bitterly de
nounced the plan of the Allies to
abandon the Gallipoli campaign ow
ing to the reversal of the Balkan sit
uation. They assert that the Austra
lians, who volunteered their services
to fight fof the mother country will
have sacrificed themselves to demon
strate to the world the gross incom
petence of the British foreign office
who must have known at the begin
ning of the Campaign that the Allies
would be unable to’ effect the capture
of the Dardanelles and Constantino
ple Should the Balkans declare in
favor of the Teuton's.
The criticisms of the entire cam
paign are very severe as the Austra
lian ahd New Zealand troops have
suffered tremendous losses in the
Gallipoli campaign and it is feared
that the colonies will1 refuse to con
tinue to send'more troops if the cam
paign is abandoned.
The British' foreign office is charg
ed with stupidity in failing to'meet
the demands of the Balkan States last
spring when they, were all favorably
inclined to Side With the Allies pro
vided their demands for territorial
concessions werfe granted." As early
as last April the Torhtfh office told ttiO
British House of Commons that Bul
garia’s neutrality could be purchased
by the promise of giving her Thrace
and Macedonia, and certain provinces
ceded to Greece by Bulgaria after the
war of 1912. The foreign office had
f^yed to convince Serbia, the cause
of file trouble, to give up her portion
of Macedonia and Bulgaria had turn
ed against the Allies.
Oreece had promised active partic
ipation in the war on the side of the
j Allies if promised territorial conces
sion in Asia Minor, which would tn
I elude the city of Smyrna and an area
of the country behind it. The Brit
ish foreign office, through stupidity,
had permitted the Teutons to win
Greece over to their side by agreeing
to the demands of King Constantine's
country.
t When Italy declared war against
Turkey the Bucharest Universal, the
mouthpiece of the Rumanian minis
try,' declared that the time had come
when Rumania must Inevitably en
gage in the war but asserted that defi
nite understanding must be reached
as'to What would be their portion of
the spoils by the changed geograph
ical positions ht the straits. Sir Ed
ward Grey had temporized with 'the
Balkan states by attempting to pit
Greece and Rumania a.gafnst Bulga
ria and had been'' outwitted by the
Teutonic diplomats' who had agreed
to the demands pf t{t£ Balkan States
and promised them equal portions of
Serbia when that country was por
tioned out by the powers after the
war.
