Imagine a team of four maddened horses,
attached to a heavy dray, running away
and headed for tho marching women.
Imagine the men ordering a itoaen boa
and girls, 7 or 8 years old, to rush out and
stop the runaway animals.
When you have done this you have made
a plcturo of the situation In which this coun
ty would find Itself If It hould bo nttneked
by any of tho first or second rate l'owcrs. .
Our nimy wolild have no better chance
for Its llfo than would the children who
should attempt to slop n team of maddened
horses, and our cities and towns would bo
crushed lis the women would fall beneath
tho feci of the nnlmalt and tho wheels of
the dray.
The British have dhauvcrcd what linp
pens when they go to war unpiepnrod. Their
young men who Were .""cut to the fiont
without adequate preparation weie shot
down llko no many frightened animals.
Tho Government had been w'arned of the
impending danger by men who knew and
It had len urged to prcpuie for what must
ecrtalnlj happen, but it igiioicd the warning.
No Power Is thtcateuiug the I'liltcd States
nt this time. Hut thcio Is nothing in our
own history or In the history of conization
which Justifies u h in assuming that wo will
never be attacked.
When the ntliu'U mines It Hboiilil find
us ready to meet it with it allotting chance
of Mtccesu. Unless thetc la a change In our
policy we shall be compelled to sacrifice the
lives of our young men as wnutonly as
though we had ordered little chlldtcn Into
tho street to stop u team "of runaway
horses.
We have todn a mobile at my of about
25,000 men, or nbout twice the number of the
police force of New Yoik. 'We have about
120,000 organized mllltln, of which not much
more than one-half cuulcl be depended on to
respond If a call to arms were made. It
has been said that 1,000,000 men would
spring' to arms within twenty-four hours In
cnbe of n threatened foreign Invasion. Hut
from Lexington to San .hum Hill there is not
a precedent In all our history to Justify nn
such conclusion. It was ncccshtiry to rcsurt
to the forced draft in tho Civil War to secuie
men to light for the preset vatiou of the
Union.
The call for volunteers in the petty Span
ish War was not filled because there were
not men enough In the country willing to
take up nrms when they were needed. The
oIunteer system Is a bioken t ceil.
But ' even though 1.000,000 men should
respond to u call, they could no be turned
Into soldiers In less than six months.
Somo wny must bo found for building up
a reserve force of men who understand the
rudiments of the arts of tho soldier.
Our lacl; of munitions Is as serious as our
lack of men. On December 23, 1914. we had
only 031 modern Held guns and howitzers.
None of these is larger than six Inches and
there uic only 40 of that slzd. The minimum
estimate of the number of guns needed for
the field artillery Is 1202 and the inuximiuu
estimate Ik 2834. It $2,100,000 n year weie
appropi Intcd for artillery it would take eight
yeurs to equip the army with tho minimum
amount.
The ammunition supply for the guns that
we have Is equally Inadequate. Two days'
firing would exhaust nil there is.
Our supply of rllles Is In better shape, but
we need 100.000 more to bo ready for an
emergency. We are In tin shape, however, to
manufacture them, and It thn demand for
rlllcb should at all approach that which has
confronted the Kuropcan Powers we would
he In the condition of the British, who hae.
it is said. 2.000.000 men unable to go tu the
front for lack of arms.
Our arsenals can make 1200 rllles a day
and our private arms factories, urged on by
the offer of two prices for each gun. have
succeeded thus fur. after more than a year
of driving work, in turning out only 3200
rlflca a day. This makes tho present daily
capacity of tl-o United States 4100 rifles.
Trance is making man) times as many.
The rifles made hero each duj would oc
cupy a aparo eight feet square and about as
high ns the saddle ou the horse General
rtejnolilg Is riding on tho City Unit plaza,
Tho product of the Kionch plautti would
make a pllo eight feet squnro and C32 feet
high, or about Si feet higher than tint highest
wrinkle in the hat of William 1'enn on the
top of the City Hall tower.
An army of 145,000 men, or the mobile
regular troop3 and the total enlisted militia,
would fire uway ln four days ull the rifle
ammunition we have In reserve, and it would
tuko six months or moro to manufacture

THE ANTHRACITE SITUATION
WHKTHBIt thero Is to be peace or war
in the anthracite regions this spting
will depend largely on whut Is done at the,
convention of the United Mine Workers
of America, which open's In Indianapolis
tomorrow.
The anthracite miners hae framed their
demands, which Include an Increase in
wuges, recognition of tho union, the aban
donment of th custom under which a miner
can dliect work In two or rnqre places In

DOHENY, OIL
KING OF MEXICO
A Prospector of the Old-fashioned
Kind, but n Business Man of the
Modern Succeeded by Hard,
Constant Work
OIL and
et tl
I Mexico, It Is said, do not mix, and
ticklish subject to handle, and for present
purposes It Is only
necessary to speak
of the ninn who Is
known oh the Rocke
feller of that much
disturbed country,
Kdwnrd L. Dohcny s
oil Interests, how
over, aio not wholly
confined to Mexico,
some of them being
loented In American
territory.
Dohcny, president
of the Mexican Pe
troleum Company,
Incorporated In Del
nwaic. will head tho
now, $160,000,000 oil
K L. OOItUNY
merger tho biggest oil deal that has been
put through sirrco the original Standard Oil
Company, with Its underlying subsidiaries,
was formed. It Is expected that nil the 132
other Independent oil companies operating in
California nnd Mexico will Join the new con
solidation, which Is to be known ns the Pan
American Petroleum and Transit Company.
Dohcny Is not only president of the Mexican
Petroleum Company, which Is the largest
single unit In the Tnmpico oil region, but
has for years been connected with companies
continuing properties valued at $50,000,000
and comprising 600,000 acres of oil lands.
Extending fcouthwnrd from Tamplco, with
tho moro choice fields lying between the Tux
pam anil the Tames! Rivers, are tiro richest
oil lands In tho world. Before 1D01 they were
merely barren wastes for tho most part,
being sparsely cultivated at the best. In tho"
last year of tho previoiiH century one or two
Americans had established themselves In
Tamplco with the avowed purpose of pros
pecting for oil lands, known to exist in thnt
region hecause of surfuce outpourings of the
precious petroleum. It Is through their ef
forts, by roahon of their unremitting toll nnd
typical American energy that Mexico has
had opened up for her a vast now field of
wealth. Tho man principally responslbls for
this trend of events Is Doheny,
Set Forth With Pick and Shovel
Previous to becoming Identified with the
Mexican Industry Mr. Doheny hndachleved
success in this country, both In the oil and
mining field, having been n prospector from
his early manhood. And he was a prospector
of tho kind wlro went forth in wool shlr't
and jackboots, with pick, shovel nnd kit, to
seek out nature's treasure houses. ,
Mr. Doheny Is a native of Fond du Lac,
Wis., where ho was born August 10, 1863, a
hou of Pattick nml Eleanor Qulgley Doheny,
Following a course In the public bcIiooN of
Fond dtl Lac, Mr. Doheny was graduated
from the high school of that city in 1ST;, A
short time later ho Hccured employment on a
survey of public land In what vvaa then the
Indian Territory, now the State of Oklahoma,
fir 1S73 ho went to Mexico aa one of a party
etrgnged in geographical arrd geological sur-,
vey employed by the Government. While
thus occupied Mr, Dohcny became Interested
In the possibility of locating new mine fields
lit what -was an almost unknown country at
that day. He retired fiom trio Federal serv
ice and struck out for himself as a prospector
In the Itocky Mountains. In this early period
he knew great hardships, but thoroughly
learned the task in li.ind, und by degrees
success came to him, For 19 years he fol
lowed the arduous life of a prospector, and
has never entirely given over Ihework,' for
which he cherishes a decided fpiuhiess.
Studied Law in, Bed'1'
As a result of a fall dovvri" - mln? sha'ft,
Mr. Doherry broke both legs and was con
fined for gome time. Not to be idle, he took
up the study of the law, and fared so well
that he was admitted to practice. He fol
lowed this neV vocation for about a year,
but gave it up at the end of that time to
resume his former work.
Mr. Dohenya first Important strike In the
oil business occurred in 1S32, vvljen he brought
to light the great oil fields of the Los Angeles
district. Just five years, afterward he again
struck oil, this time near Fullerton, Cal.
After a Japae of two years his efforts again
were rewarded, lie found more oil In the
Kern River Valley of California, and ope
year later hU greatest success was scored
through the discovery of the remarkable pll
fields near faBiptee. Mex. This brought
about tbft organization of the SleyJcan. P-
