They likewise were emphatlo In declar ing acalnat "alarmist warnlnira." merely drawing the comparlaon that It Is at leaat unsafe for the United States to be "eatls tied with financial fatnesa with no sinews behind the fat." Senator Hughea, of New Jersey, today came out for a great army of professional icldlera, backed by a tralnod, equlppea volunteer army. II said i Some of that which I have to say has been said bfeore, but all will bear repetition. It seems to me that the people of the United states arV now convinced that the recent events which have oooarred In the world are of such a character 'that nations are likely to go to war against each other on slight pretense, for any or no reason, A sreat many of us believe we have ( lived for year in a fools' paradise , when we believed that nations could sot be cot to go to war No man wonld have been rash enough to pre dict that the situation which now ex ists In Europe could possibly take Dlaee, but hero It la. Tho Senator's proposal Is for an army of r BBO.oOo men at least, serving two years frith the color and four years In the .re ,..,' -carve. Ooa hundred and twenty-flva thou- - aand would go back annually Into civil Mitt, giving 1,350,000 trained men In ten , '- years, , ! . tt these men were given vocational ,an4 educational training during their two J, years? active service," tho Senator con- 3f-Jnue, "0lr time would not be lost either jr to themselves or to the nation. They would Tm bs to civil life aa trained soldiers . ' .ad better citizens than before. 1'olnttng to the small pay of the regular - stripy Senator Hughes declared that It was K4viaabls to make army life more attract , ' ive, but ba It attractive! or not, ha favors ". trtation of an adequate soldiery through J? k$ RxeUiPd, ' . .If w want to defend thte nation, if .jy- at to feel !

Officials f tha Pension Mutual, wliloh Commissioner O'Nell states has a deficiency of more than 11,000,000, and among whoe policyholder are many poverty-stricken families living In different parts of Penn "J'lV'jnln. will attend the hearing.

Tho case against the Pension Mutunl l.lfc, otriclaln say, In bo complete that there la no doubt that tho application for u receiver will bo granted. They udd that there i.i little reason why It should be opposed, because there Is very little of the company left, they say. In tho Union Casualty, however, thoro are aoma particularly flno aaaetn which tho men In cliurgn do not wunt to surrender to the State'n disposition, say Inaurancii De partment orrtclala. The real fight will be In thla case. Mr. O'Nell thinks ha can win, though. He understands that tho Union Casualty defenders will try to get a postponement In tho caso by alleging that State nxamlnors have so muddled tho books and papers that tho nttornoya have not been able to mako neaa or tall out or the confusion. Tho In surance Commissioner says ho can prove the untruth of this, however, and Is con fident he can force tho hearing.
