EXPECTS ANTAGONISM.
litclJnp tho nntasonlsm of the
raf(lcsl! Mr. Garrison devotes a larce
patj of hlS' report to mcctliiB the
nriiument, yhlch he .'says will be ad
vanced asrainst liLi pollrfei.
The details of tho... Garrison military
program previously -have beenTrtado pub
lic Briefly, tho plnn calls for tho In
crnnso of tho regular army to HI.CO0 offi
cers and men. A reserve to be known
as itlio "Continental Army" would be
raited In three Instalments of 133,000 men
eaolu These reservists would servo sK
ycaVa, three tUq .first with the colors, dur-Inri-whlch
they would receive annual In
tcnelvo training In Held camps. With
the plan In complete operation the Conti
nental Army would always comprise 400.
000 j men with the colors. The regular
irniy of 111,000 nnd a national guard of
H3.S0O more would bring tho cntlro mill-tar-
torccs up to 670,000.
Last year Congress appropriated $115.
O0O.0QO for military' purposes. As previ
ously disclosed by Secretary Garrison,
hlaplan when In complete operation at
Unwind of four years would call for an
anfflUkl expenditure of $182,000,000.
a joi-t ron nuYAN.
Mr. Bryan'B opposition to mllltnry force
receives this Jolt In almost tho opening
paragraph of Secretary Garrison's report:
"Tho necessity or a nation having a
Xorco commensurate with Its responsibil
ity is demonstrated by every -correct
process- of reasoning founded upon fact.
This 13 so whether the subject Is consid
ered In tho light of tho philosophy of
government or of history. The use of
force Is tho Inherent essenco of govern
ment. The very term itself Is explicit
government tho right or power to com
pel obedience to law. Where thero is no
force to compel such obedience thnt Is,
to govern there Is anarchy. Individuals
sHup the right of unregulated actions
when they form themselves Into or be
corho subject to a government. Tho prog
ress nnd advancement of that which Is
summed up In the word 'civilization' have
been mado possible holelv because of
government. Unless tho Individual Is so
curq In his person and his property ho
has- neither time nor Inclination to de
voto himself to the cultivation of the
incritoli moral or spiritual side of his na
ture. That security Is secured to him
by -sovernment. and government can only
meet Its responsibility of assurance by
tho possession of sufficient force to se
cure nnd preserve It."
Holding to the ancient prophecy that
thero would bo wnrs nnd rumors of wars,
nnd that nation would rise asnlnst nation
and kingdom against kingdom. Secretary
Garrison boldly asserts that "weakness
inevitably results In overthrow, ns tho
nbtuidnnt Instances of history demon
strate, both with respect to Individuals,
cities and nations." Continuing Mr. Gar
rison says, "If we should properly pre-
paro our minds to be strong, so that wo
can reject evil, we should likewise make
our physical force strong In order that
wo may maintain the right as against
thoso who would physically Impose the
wrong upon us."
Mr. Garrison declares that those who
reajly fear militarism should bo thfi
strongest advocates of reasonable prepa
ration as "tho preventive of militarism."
He. moreover, asserts that the sensible
advocate of preparedness does not claim
that preparedness prevents war. He says,
however, that it tends to prevent war,
and In many Instances has been demon
strated to have prevented It
"rUGHTDOKRS MUST PREPARE."
"So long as right and wrong exist In
thef world," continues Mr. Garrison,
"llfero will bo an inevitable conflict be
tween them. The rlghtdoera must be pre
pared to protect and defend the right as
against the wrong. Their preparation
will tend to prevent tho triumph of
wrong, and In those Instances In which It
does not prevent tho pttempt It can pre
vent the sjccesa of the attempt. Wisdom
demanda precaution; precaution demands
preparation; preparation la Bgainst the
day of evil from any quarter."
Mr Garrison lane plain Issue with
those who hold that the cause of
arbitration will ha advanced "if wo re
frain, frpm adopting a proper military
policy but will be set back, if we do so.
"This belief," he says, "seems to rest
upon the idea that If we are feeble and
weak In action, we will be strong nnd
pessuasive in counsel, that by avowedly
neglecting to prepare to. protect our
rights we will be better able to secure
their protection by appeal, by arbitra
tion or by argument
Aa showing our present woeful un
priparedness Mr. Garrison points out that
all, be nation posseises outside the stand
ing army is "a statute prescribing how
volunteers may be raised In tha event
of war" He contrasts this with the
proposed system under which the country
Would have a forte "already organized,
already clothed and armed and officered,
wh,jcb bas- been to a certain extant
disciplined and trained " and declares
tb "advantage thereof over the other
s!tuattpn is literally Incalculable " He
does, not maintain that a few months'
ttalnlns will make a continental soldier
(ht.(fiiia! ot a reguU but contrasts tho
H'WO.Btfge of a complete organization

The report urges that tho sum of $!,

goes on to say:
"While these developments nrc all

no reason wli tho city should not Imme

"It Is tho common observation that such
Improvements pay for themselves In the
long run through Increase In the nssessed
valuation of neighboring property, but
this Increase does not take place until the

SOCIALISTS APPROVE
CHANCELLOR'S SPEECH
rnntlnunl from Page One
learned from Kntento ecclesiastics at
the recent Conslntory.
In n letter to tho press, William Jen
nings Brynn declares tho tlmo Is ripe
for tho United States to mediate be
tween tho warring nations.
UERLIN. Dec. 10.
At n meeting of the Social Democratic
Labor party today, which was attended
by a majority of tho members, resolu
tions were adopted declaring that Chan
cellor von Bcthmann-Hollwcg's nnswer to
the Interpellation of Doctor Scbeidcmann
was satisfactory, as it Bhowed the Ger
man Government had no desire to annex
territory.
Party leaders In the nelchstag today
expressed unanimous npproval of the
German Government's nttltude toward
pence as set forth by Dr. von Bcthmann
Hollwcg, the Imperial Chancellor, nt
Thursday's session.
They emphnslzed the willingness ex
pressed by tho Chancellor to discuss any
terms that the Allies might offer which
would be compatible with Germany's
dignity nnd safety. They were virtually
unanimous In declaring that responsi
bility for the war "must rest upon the
Allies in the future as It has In tho
past."
In no circles In Berlin, however. Is there
nny hope that the Entente Powers will
proposo peace terms. The general opinion
'a thut the Allies, relying upon their re
sources, will coiitlnuo tho wnr. In tho
uxpectntlon that Germany will ultimate
ly be overthrown.
Prominent political chieftains, even
thoso who had before the war opposed
tho Government, said today that the
speech of Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg
would weld all elements of the German
nation Into a unit firm for defense ot
the fatherland.
"The Chancellor's speech was pleasing
tc all Germany," said Herr Basserman,
a leader of tho National Liberals. "It
could not have been nny different. It
Is not possible nt present to go Into impos
sible peace details, but the Impression
must go atound the world that Germany
is willing to conclude a favorable peaco
and at all times accept sensible propos
als." Doctor von Heiydebrand, a leader of
the Conservative party, declare! emphatic
ally that all peace overtures must come
from Germany's enemies.
Baron von RIchthoven, a National Lib
eral leader, who was formerly attached
to tho German Embassy at Washington,
said that the Chancellor's Bpeech should
have a marked effect on public opinion
In neutral countries.
"The peace discussion will show the
world that Germany Is peacefully Inclined
and never wanted a war of conquest," he
said.
TI3IE PROPOSITIONS FOR U. S.
MEDIATION, MtYAN SAYS
NEW YORK, Dec. 10,-Now Is the time
for the American Government to take
steps looking to peace in Europe, In the
opinion of William Jennings Bryan, In a
letter sent to the editor of a New York
newspaper, the former Secretary of Btate
sas;
"I believe that the President, either
alone or in co-operation with the execu
tives of other neutral countries, could se
cure from the belligerent nations a state
ment ot the terms demanded, and this
would be the beginning ot an exchange of
views which doubtless would lead to a
treaty,
"It looks now as If the belligerent, na
tions were more willing than heretofore
to consider the question of peace, but neu
tral nations need not necessarily await
until mediation is solicited by either side."
CHANCELLOR VOICES VIEWS
OF QERMANY, PRESS AGREES
BERLIN, Dec, 10.
The German press today voiced virtu
ally unanimous approval of Chancellor
von Bethmann-Hollweg's statements on
peacemade before the Reichstag yester
day. ; The same Indorsement came from bus
iness men, professional men and men of
all classes In Berlin. They agreed that
tha Chancellor made an admirable state,
ment of Germany's position and that he
showed conclusively that responsibility
for the continuance of tho war must rest
with Germany's enemies.
The Kreuz Zeltunjr and Boersen Zeltung
commented.
"The Chancellor has said what alt good
Germans have thought"
Tho Lokal Anzelger declared that tho
world, mutt now realize that Germany

The Vosslcho Zeltung laid particular

Germany will demand.
While tho Chancellor's speech Just now
Is the overshadowing topic of discussion,
It la a fact that ofllclnls and the Berlin
public are almost as much Interested In
the attack mado by President Wilson In
his message to Congress on certain for-clgn-born
citizens of the United States.
It Is accepted here that the remarks
wcro directed at German-Americans nnd
Austro-Amerlcans. German officials pro
fess to be unable to understand the Presi
dent's viewpoint. One admiralty official
declared today that ho could not help
believing that Washington was unfriendly
to Germany.
HOSTILITY AND SARCASM
IN LONDON PRESS COMMENT
LONDON, Dec. 10.
Angry comments In tho London press
today on the German Chancellor's speech
were mingled with sarcastic shots nnd
declarations that "tho Chancellor merely
repeated the old bluff nnd brag."
"He had tho temerity to warn us that
the longer the war continues the harder
will be tho German terms of peace." said
tho Dally Express, "and this In tho face
of common knowledge that Germany Is
necessarily growing weaker every day
and less able to carry out tho grandiose
plans of her rulers.
"If there was a long-sighted statesman
In Germany, he would contrive to arrive
at a settlement that would leave his coun
try powerful nnd menacing."
The Chromclo answered the German So
cialist, Doctor Scheldemann, who declared
Europe would bo ruined if the wnr con
tinued, and thnt the only victor would be
the United States.
'That, of course, Is a reflection which
Germany might have well taken to heart
before plunging Europe Into the war,"
said the Chronicle, "but It Is not nn argu
ment for stopping the war at the moment
when Its ending would be most advanta
geous to those who provoked It.
"Tho Allies do not regard Germany as
Invincible, nnd will not do so any the
more because Bethmann-Hollweg asserts
It."
ENTENTE CAPITALS GREET
SPEECH WITH REBUFFS
LONDON, Dec. 10.
In all the capitals of the Entente Pow
ers the peace talk of Doctor von Bethmann-Hollweg,
the German Chancellor,
met with stern rebuffs today.
The attitude of the Allied Governments
Is summed up In this laconic phrase:
"We are determined to tight It out on
this line if It takes 10 years."
In their official circles it is considered
that the best answer to the German
Chancellor is the fact that even now the
war chiefs ot the allied countries are
planning fresh campaigns by land and
sea.
Premier Asqulth of England, Premier
Brland of Franco, Premier Goremykln of
Russia and Premier Salandra of Italy
are a unit upon the question of peare.
They believe that Germany has already
passed the climax ot her military achieve
ment and that the peace talk of Doctor
von Bethmann-Hollweg Is an effort to
bring up the question of terms while
Germany is at the zenith of her achieve
ment. GERMAN CARDINAL BEARS

FREEDOM OF THE SEA
Cnntlnurd from Page Ono

Smith. "That this blockado Is Illegal
cannot bo questioned.
"It has been nnd Is a deliberate disre
gard ot tho rights of neutrals by Great
Britain. There can be no pretense tunt
thla Interference with neutral trade is
sustnlned by tho custom of nations. In

It is a bold, reckless disregard of tho
freedom of the Beos, which Is the right
of neutrals by the customs of nations
and tho rules of International law. Yet,
for moro than eight months this disre
gard for sovereign rights of all neutral
countries has been permitted to continue

their citizens."
Tho Senator then declared that care

destroys the British Government's ex
cuso thnt It Is acting In accordance with
tho precedents laid down by the United
States during tho Civil "VVar, and cited
many Instances to support his conten

"The United States, with other neutral

known nlong tho river front by tho sailors
and captains who camo to port. Realizing

of funds, tho minister later established a
free school for navigation.
The clergyman was not attracted by nny
new- Ideas In religion, but ndvocotcd ad
herence to the fundamental principles of
tha Church. Although considered some
what conservative, he always had nn
ample supply of wit on hand, nnd his ad
