palpn In this neitltm of FcnntyU'anla
wm tho tthlgh Democratic Counts- meet
ing, htld lody nt Brelnigsvllle, a vlllng
ten ml8 neit of tills city, tt dcvtlopcl
an unusually lars crop of cnmlldates,
nnd contlderitblb criticism of tho reoIu
jtlon ndoptcd at the mcttlnr
Thf noonday, dinner, n U alha) the
cote, was the feature of the meeting,
which took the form of a holiday outing.,
Many persons came by automobile from
all Paris of the county.
Among the autoletc and the crowd In
gtncral there was n tusplclon as to tho
sincerity of Democratic rioHcler, when It
wsb found the resolutions contained a
sevrro criticism of Governor Brumbaugh
on the good toads question
It is a matter of common congrntula
Hon anions motorists and farmers thnt
the roods of Lehigh County are 100 per
cent better now than thtj were In
iprlntf, when Governor Brumbaugh began
to set active. UoieiiB of miles cf itcod
roads havo been made In the country
districts of Lehigh, and eomo of tho reads
through the rural eectlons have been
asphalted Ilka city streets. The work Is
coins; on energetically and the people
are a unit in credltlnc the dovornor for
the rood work. It was common talk
that tho Democratic managers. In casting
a Ulna; at nrumbaugh and his adminis
tration, accusing them of Incapacity and
neglect, niadA a mistake.
Another thing criticised by those pres
ent t tho meeting was tho declaration In
favor of a new million dollar courthousv.
A Quarter million addition to the old
courthouse la nearlng completion, and tho
people do not believe that a million moro
can be expended without raising the tax
rttte
Thero was also much criticism of the
assertion made by the orators and In the
resolutions that tho lowering of the tariff
had brought prosperity, when all furnaces
and most of the Iron works were Idle un
til they got orders for war munitions
from abroad.
filnce the primaries next year will he
held in May, earlier than the county
meeting, it was Incumbent on aspirants
for offlcea to be filled next yeah to an
notmen themselves at this gathering; and
this Increased the crop of candidates to
more than 100. Tho most important an
nouncement In this respect was that of
Congressman Arthur G, Dewalt, former
State Senator and former Democratic
State Chairman, that ho would be a can
didate next year for re-election nn nr.
sentatlve from the Bcrko-Lehlgh district.

NOT IMMUNE PROM AGGRESSION'
"The nat'"nal fcelln? of security needs
strict condemnation. The United States
are not secure from foreign aRRiessIon.
Thin fact must be faced and faced with
out evasion. We CRnnot obtain In tho
short time needed the additional nieennl
workers and the necessary additions to
the nrsenal equipment to meot the de
mands of an army even 60 per cent of
the desired nnd needed size. Wo cannot
expect factories to change from an es
tablished product to war munitions over
nlsht. It Is moro than a year since tho
contracts for munitions were made with
American manufacturers by the Allies,
and yet wo nic producing very little.
What tragedy this would mean If
America needed those cartridges and
shells.
"Let us take a leaf from the expeil
ence of tho countrleu at war Germany
and Austria are estimated to bo turning
out 250,000 shells per day. In England, at
the outbreak of the war, there had been
no systematized preparation for the Im
mense task that suddenly confronted
them. The War Office decided to utilize
the skill of existing firms which were
capable of doing the work. They found
to their Intense surprise that the arma
ment firms were Inadequate to the Im
mense task not only of organizing their
own work, but of developing the re
sources of the country outside. They
could not command the stock, and sub
contracting was declared by Lloyd
Oeorge to havo been a failure. The out
put was a pitiful 10,000 shells n month.
"The machinery for the manufacture
of rifles apd machine guns takes eight
months, at least, to construct before a
single weapon Is turned out. Then
there art certain materials which must
be on hand before munitions can be pro
duced. Mild carbon steel Is needed for
gun barrels. Well-seasoned ash or ma
ple, straight grained. Is required for tho
stocks, BraBS. Iron and antimony enter
largely Into production, nenzol, phenol.
sulphuric acid, nitric acid, caustic soda
and other chemicals are absolutely
peratlve for the manufacture of picric
acid.
"Today It Is almost Impossible to pro
cure phenol, certnlnly In large quantities.
Germany haB been tho source of supply
for picric acid. It has advanced from
33 cents to J2 a pound.
"Antimony has become so scarce that
some other hardening material is being
named in many Instances in some of tho
newer contracts by manufacturers of
shrapnel shell bullets,
"Brass Is nn alloy of copper and zinc.
Spelter, a product ot zinc ore, Is nearly
unobtainable. , It is being quoted at (3S0
a ton. in 1913 the world's production ex
ceeded tho consumption by only 2.2 per
cent Germany has control of at least
one-ha)f ot the spelter In the world. Tho
United States produced about 32 per cent,
of the -world's supply In 1913, the latest
figures available, 318,676 short tons.
" .PRODUCTIVE CAPACITY AMPLE,
"It is true that at the close of the
European war the United States will b In
the most advantageous position in her
history. In no way will this be moro true
than In the fact that wa shall have. In
andd condition and prepared for produc
tion, as complete shops for the manufac
ture ot munitions as any nation. Th out
put from these shops would more than
meet the demands which would be made
upon them if the United States were to
enter a war on a large- scale. The ca
pacity for manufacturing arms and am
munition In the United States has in
creased approximately I0O0 per cent, dur
ing the. last year- There does not seem
to be any doubt that w can easily man
ufacturo sufficient reserve munitions to
meet any mergency thnt rosy arise in the
future. The point is that this fact mu-jt
be Impressed strongly on our people.
"War munitions must be manufactured
and stored by the United States. They
must be prepared in such large quantities
that an army trained to resist Invaklon
eould be deployed along the coasts of the
country, fully armed and thoroyghly
equipped to meet any emergenoy. This
Is the pathway to national safety. It la
the same oun 9f prevention. Let us
