CATION'S WORK REVIEWED
WASHINGTON. Oct B.
America, rounding out Its first nix month
f to Ui world war today, has made marvel
ous records.
From a nation of peace and unproared
ess, the country In six months has devel
oped Into a powerful lighting machine
the greatest factor In th war. Congress
on the eve of adjournment of Its war eei
Ion. has completed a program which, for
magnitude and money, has no equal In
the history of the world's parliaments.
On April 6 the day President Wilson
signed the declaration of war the Ainer
lean army was small and unsupnlled. The
navy was not fully manned. The railroads.
underequtpped were unable to move their
vast freight shipments, much less to handle
gigantic troop movements. America's mer
chant marine was a Joke among nations.
The army had lefs than a dozen airplanes.
No laws existed for the development of an
army and -.avy such as the emergency re
quired, no money was at hand for the un
precedented expenditures necessitated and
no- authority vested for carrying out the
war talk.
SIX MONTHS' ACCOMPLISHMENT
Today, with the passing of only six
months, more than a million men are under
arms. Millions more arc registered for
service subject to call. Sl::teen canton
ment camps cities each capable of hous
ing 40,000 men havo been built at a cost
of $150,000,000. Billions have been lent
to the Allies. Billions have been appro
priated for equipping and supplying the
soldiers and sailors. There are now three
times as many vessels In the navy as six
months ago. The enlisted strength of the
navy has Increased from 61,680 to moTo
than 143,000, and other branches have In
creased from 300 to 600 per cent In per
sonnel. Twenty naval training camps have been
established and aircraft and projectile fac
, tortes are be'ng built The airplane con
struction program assures the presence of
thousands of American aviators on Euro
pean fronts soon.
The Shipping Board has contracted for
433 ships already. Seized vesssls are rap
Idly being put into service. Plans havo
been completed for three steel fabric itlon
plants, to cost i30.000.000. An operating
department has been created sufficient to
run 1200 to 1500 ships. Itcspondlng to in
ternational appeals for speedy ship con
struction on American vays. It Is planned
to build approximately 6,000,000 tons within
the next eighteen months and thereafter at
least 6,000,000 tons a year.
The railroads of the country are operat
ing as ono great system.
With ships and troops moving steadily
from this side to France, the United States
In the last six months also has saved the
financial life of her Allies in tremendous
loans. Since April 6 she has advanced 2.
618,400,000. Great Britain received $1,
240,000.000; France, $390,000,000; Russia,
t275.000.000; Italy, $256,000,000; Belgium,
$56,400,000, and Serbia, $3,000,000 a total
which amounts to loans at the rate of $14,.
000,000 a day.
This country today 1s spending approxi
mately $2,000,000 an hour in all war ex
penditures. To meet these vast expenditures, Con
gress has authorized by tax and bond
measures the raising of $20,000,000,000.
The Treasury Department successfully
floated a first Liberty Loan of $2,000,000,
000 aand has Just launched the second for
13,000,000,000.
While these great movements were going
on Congress placed in President Wilson's
hand authority such as Is not possessed by
apy .king or potentate.
April 24, eighteen days after war was
declared, Congress had passed and the
President signed the $7,000,000,000 bond
bill. Simultaneously, $100,000,000 was
placed In the President's hands for emer
gency use. Early In May Congress passed
a. bill permitting the Allies to recruit their
citizens In this country. May 12 the Presi
dent signed a bill authorizing seizure of
Teuton ships. The first big appropriation
for the army $2.73,046, 322 was promptly
passed by Congress and signed by the
President May 12.
On May IS the selective service bill had
become a law. June 5 10,000,000 men be
tween the ageB of twenty-one and thirty-one
registered for their country.
' Meantime the bill to double the navy and
marine corps personnel was passed and
signed by the President May 22. A war
risk Insurance bureau was created June 12.
Early the same month Congress pasted the
war budget bill of $3,300,946,381.
By this time the spy menace had become
manifest, and on June 15 the drastic espion
age bill, giving the Government broad
powers to handle spies, sedition spreiders
and propagandists of all kinds was a law.

portation appeared as the next pressing
problem and Congress passed two measures
one Increasing the Interstate Commerce
Commission from seven to nine members
and the other empowering the President to

President had his way ind on August 10

LA FOLLETTE CASE

Subcommittee to Investigate
Alleged Seditious Utter
ances of Senator
STONE DENIED INQUIRY
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.
Charges of seditious utterances lodged
against Senator La Follctte are to be in
vestigated by the Senate. A subcommittee
of five will bo named by Senator Pomerene.
of Ohio, chairman of the Elections Com
mittee, first to Investigate the correctness
of La Follette's speech of September 20 at
St. Paul, and, second, to Inquire Into the
correctness of his statements. It will then
report to the full committee tho first day
of the December session. Senator Pome
rene will head the subcommittee.
Despite a request by Senator Stone for
an Inquiry Into his record, the committee
will not comply. It was announced.
Senator Thompson, of Kansas this after
noon introduced the resolution to give the
investigating committee complete authority
to hold hearings, summon witnesses and
call for papers In the inquiry Into Senator
La Follette's speech.
The subcommittee probably will hold
hearings, either calling witnesses to Wash
ington or going to St. Paul and other M.n
nesota cities as well as to Wisconsin, to
take testimony.
The committee received a inter from
Senator Stone who was also named in sev
eral of the hundreds of petitions presented
to the committee. After considering Stone s
letter the committee hsued the following
statement:
Action having been requested by Sen
ator Stone on certain communications in
which he was assailed, It being charged
therein that he had obstructed the enact
ment of measures for the VTOStoMonot
the war, the committee finds that the
charges make mention of no facts war
ranting actlm by it. The record dis
closes that, though Senator Stone op
posed the declaration of war. he has.
since it was adopted, voted for all such
measures considered by the benato on
which a record vote was taken.
In his letter to the committee Stone
Sa It appears that one of the papers sub
mitted to your committee bv the V m
President was a letter addresred to him
by W. E. Stokes. New York, who ac
cused me with others of being guilty of
disloyal acts. ... , ,
This communication is vicioua in
cendiary In the highest degree, and I
cannot refriln from expressing my sur
prise that the Vice President would submit
such a paper to the Senate for pub'.Ication
in the record and for the consideration of
a standing committee.
I feel that I have a right to Insist, as
I do Insist that a matter which thus
wantonly assaults my Integrity and my
loyilty should not be laid aside or even
postponed for a day by the committee
whosu duty it Is to consider and dispose
of the matter.
The author of these calumnies may
speak Ignorantly or maliciously as to
their motives, I do not know, nor do I
care but when they are formally laid
before the Senate in the way these were,
no matter whether the source of origin Is
Irresponsible or otherwise and without
regard to the knowledge or motive of the
men who prefer the charges, I insist thit
a Senator who knows that he Is unjustly
accused has a right to have the commit
tee examine Into the facts at once and
report their finding to the Senate,
Preliminary inquiry began today by aj
special House committee into the charged
by Representative Hanin, of Alabima, that
"thirteen or fourteen peace-at-any-prlce
members of Congress had acted sus
piciously in connection with the $50,000 Von
Bernstorff fund" to Influence Congress.
The Teachers' Association of Philadel
phia Is continuing a strenuous campaign for
the Increase In teachers' salaries, despite
the refusal of the Board of Education to
view this move with favor, according to an
nouncement mnde today.
A meeting wan held last night to consider
ways and mcanj of bringing pressure to
! bear on the board. Two appeals have ul-
ready been made. It Is plinned to bring
the matter up again at the board meeting
on Tuesday.
"We have no desire to embarrass the
Board of Education." said Miss Corlnne B.
Arnold, n member of the teochers' com
mittee appointed to consult with .the finance
committee of the board; "we appreciate
the position of school finances in this city.
There has been no talk or consideration of
gtntr nn n strike. There Is no possibility
of such a thing. However, every one will
ii,.prm.,ute that a teacher must live.
"Tho New York Bureau of Municipal lie
search recently announced that the pur
chasing power of a dollar is only 40 per
cent or what It was before the war. We
ato not Interested in how the board finances
tho needed Increase, but we simply must
have It. A teacher may work only ten
months In the year, but she must live for
twelve months.
"Recently the following advances have
been made In teachers' salaries In other
places; Media, $10 per month for all
teachers ; Upper and Lcwer Providence,
Delaware County, $10 Increase; Norrls
town, sixty-nine teachers, $25 Increase;
Newark, N. J., 5 per cent to 15 per cent In
crease ; Camden, 10 per cent Increase: fifty
three townships, counties and boroughs In
Pennsylvania havo granted Increases, and
outside of Pennsylvania twenty-three of the
twenty-five cities from which we have heard
have raised the teachers' salaries "
At the suggestion that the Teachers' As
sociation was In effect a union devjtid to
the advancement of the teachers' ll (crests,
Miss Arnold entered a vigorous denial. "We
are In no sense of tho word a union.' The
object of the association is the elevation of
the teaching profession In Philadelphia by
promoting and protecting the Interests of Its
members, by cultivating a spirit of fellow
ship and mutual helpfulness among them,
and to aid In the betterment of educational
conditions."
The association was founded In 1909 and
now has more than 5000 members. Most
of these are teachers in the public schools.
However, the clerical ass'stants and teacn
era In private schools are eligible as as
sociate members, not having a vote. The
officers are: President Mr, jjinma V. T.

U. S. STAGES SCENE
FOR I.W.W. TRIALS
Arranges Setting for One of
Most Sensational Dramas
in U. S. History
IN CHICAGO IN NOVEMBER
Five Counts in Indictments Cov
ering Every Possible Crime
Chargeable to Defendants
NEW YOllK, Oct 6.
Government officials are rapidly arranging-
the etage setting for one of the moat
sencatlonal dramas In the country s his-tory-the
trial of the I W. W. defendants.
The "play" Is to be produced In Chicago,
nnd the tentative date Is "some time In
December."
Frank C. Dalley, afslstant Umd' States
Attorney Oene-.al, who returned from Chi
cago to New York today. Is busily engaged
In writing the "libretto." It will be of five
"acts," or counts, on which the Indictments
are based.
The certified copies of the Indictments
fill forty closely written pages, when con
densed, the counts are simple and yet broad
enough to cover all pomlble crimes charged
to the defendants.
The word "conspiracy" appears In each
count. Kach count goes Into a mass of
detail sufficient to cover every possible
crime that could bo charged, or Is charged,
to the defendants.
"It Is true there are but five counta."
said Mr. Dalley today. "These are simply
worded, but of sufficient scope, the Govern
ment believes, to cover all alleged 1. t. in
activities. The Investigation was based on
conspiracy, but tho Indictments, like an
octopus, cover much territory.
Count No. 1 charges conspiracy under
section six of the criminal code, conspiracy
to prevent the United States from exer
cising Its laws.
Count No. 2, drawn under section nine
teen, charges conspiracy to Interfere with
the Individual rights of cltizenB; for In
stance, th right of persons to provide the
Government with supplies for its army
and navy.
Count No. 3, drawn under section thirty
seven, charges conspiracy to commit an
offense against the Government, the tpeclftc
offense being violation of the conscription
Co'jn. No. 4 charges conspiracy under the
espionage act.
C: ' Vo. 5 charged conspiracy to de
frni'1 by the use of the I'nlted States malls.
The tif h count Is known to Government
officials as the "sabotage count," and, In
their opinion, Is the most Important. It
was dr-'wn by Attorney Dalley, whose sue
eff In i'in prosecution of the Indiana elec
tion fraud cases prompted United States
Attorney General Gregory to obtain his
services for the I. W. W. Investigation.
Mr. Dalley anticipates no trouble in gath
ering all the defendants together in Chicago,
explaining that the "extradition" so much
In discussion Is merely rnatttr of an order
'heTt-a mas. of detail to be cleared
before we can set the date for the lr M n.
said Dalley before leaving. "W W
intn rouft somo t me early n i
Kember. but the date Is only ?""'.
"We anticipate a rluODO'"Ma. n for
matter has been under cons Idf "i J ,"
many months. It will take nulla l h
to examine the mass of vWen.Mfh"";I"l.
In the raids, and then will follow tho prspa
r itlon for the prosecution." h
Mr. Dalley, who will have charge of the
prosecution, wlil be assisted by ri enta
ttves from the Department of Justice who
assisted In the raids. , .
Of the 166 persons under Indictment only
about half that number has been appre
hended. It Is understood revere! Persons
prominent In I. W. W. and Socialist circles
are yet to be arrested and thtt a few of
these have their headquarters In New ork
city.
