Veteran Indian Flghter Says
Army Is New Preparlpg
Defense by Planes
UAUDS PRESIDENT.ELECT
"Whoever 1s superior in the nlr will
in the nest wnr," said General "Nelsen
'A. Mile nt the Union Tongue today.
"The next war will be fought In the
lr for the meat part. I was chair
man of the beard which first Introduced
the airplane Inte the nnnr, and at that
lime I was greatly Impressed with Its
petcntalttles. Its recent development
has demonstrated clearly that It will tbc
the cemlnc chief weapon of offense and
defense. Our army Is already consider
ing plans for the defense of our prin
cipal cities against air attacks, but the
nature of these plans is such that 1 de
net fc61 frce te discuss them."
The veteran conqueror of Attaches
arrived In Philadelphia yesterday te
take cemmend of n general meeting of
the Military Order of the Ieyal Legien
of the United States, of which lie it
head.
taglen Werk Surprises
"I intend that the Leyal Legien shall
enrrr en the work commenced by It
during the Civil War," the gecnral said
this morning. "It Is a great work, nnd
one which Inspires every member of the
Legien."
General Miles is a stanch supporter of
Harding and Coelldge. "Harding Is n
man of the same type as Lincoln," he
laid. "Coelldge a worthy successor of
Jehn Hancock."
The League of Nations does net meet
with the general's approval.
"I would never bind this nation .te
any supcrgevcrnment," was his com
ment. "Our forefathers fought for
eeven years te give us independence,
and under the constitution they drafted
we have, become the most powerful re
public in the world. We de net need
te bind eurselyca te any combination
of powers. I will admit that the Rus
sian sltuntieu Is very serious, however.
That country is in a deplorable condi
tion. When I went te Russia, a num
ber of j ears nge, under the czar's re
5 line, the ceuutry was improving won wen
crfully, marvelous progress hnvlng been
made when one considered that the peo
ple sprang from wild tribes.
Czar Net Se Dad
"While the czar wns nu autocrat, It
should be remembered that he was the
first te call The Hague Conference. He
encouraged constitutional government
and had established a parliament. When
Russia was drunk with an excess of
vodka, he unhesitatingly abolished It,
despite the fact thnt the government
derived a tremendous revenue from Its
sale. I found him very familiar with
American methods in land ownership,
particularly in connection with the de
velopment of land along the Trans-Siberian
Railway. lie said he hoped te
fellow the example Bet by our govern
ment In encouraging home builders te
settle in the West. And te think that,
notwithstanding his beneficent acts, he
was murdered, just hs his grandfather,
who liberated the serfs. The last czar
was a quiet, courteous gentleman, quite
unaffected."
"What de you think f- the Mexican
situation?" the general was asked.
Wouldn't Talie Mexico
"The less we have te de with Mexico
the better for us," was the reply. "Gen
eral Shermnn once said that It would
be well te go te war again with Mexico
and make her take back the ignorant
population of some of the territery1 we
acquired from her. We may exercise
, our geed offices In Mexico's behalf, but
when the annexationists begin te speak
of absorbing her 18,000,000, peens, I
wll soy we have enough!"
General Miles does net believe in uni
versal compulsory military training. "I
believe in a well -regulated militia." he
said, "and a reasonable military force;
but we should set a geed example te
ether nntiens, and establish some sort
of understanding with the ether great
pewerH by which a limit would be set
en the portion of the population te be
trained for military usage. I de net
beliec in 'Germanizing' the entire
country." t
The general expect te return te his
home in Washington today.

THIS IS ST. MARTIN'S DAY
Tradition 8aya He 8hared Cleak
With Beggar In Francee '
This is St. Martin's Day, nnd from
nil indications there will be the same
kind of weather they had in Amiens,
France, the time St. Martin met a beg
gar en the street and gave him half of
his cloak.
This is also supposed te be the first
day of Indian summer, and a let of folk
arc hoping that no Indian winters will
Come this way If this Is. Indian sum
mer. St. Martin is supposed te have given
half his cloak te the beggar some 1000
years age, before war prices for cloth
ing, became the vogue.
After he had given the beggar half
his cloak St. Martin had a vision in
which It was revealed that the beggar
was the Christ. The peasants believed
the winter which followed St. Martin's
kindly act was tempered by divine
providence se thnt St. Martin would
net suffer because of his magnanimity.

St. Is Swept by Flames
OLD BREWERY IS DAMAGED
A fire captain was Injured rfnd sev
eral firemen were overcome by flame
which swept the interior of the three
story building of the Rcrgner A Kngel
Rrewlng Ce., 1410-18 North Thirty
first street, nt 0:10 o'clock this
morning. ,
The large brick building wns de
stroyed by the blaze which caused dam
age estimated- $73,000.
Mere than J000 pigeons, trapped In
their coop en the reef of the building,
were roasted alive. ,
Merris Wills, captain of Truck Com
pany Ne. 1, wns the fireman Injured,
lie was mounting n ladder nt 'the front
of the building when a section of the
tin spouting fell from the reef and
struck him.
The captain's right hand was severely
gashed by the falling tin, nnd it wns
with difficulty that he .retained his held
en the ladder. Other firemen helped him
te the ground, nnd he was trcnted by
a police, surgeon. He later returned te
the fight.
Twe alarms brought a score of en
gines nnd trucks te the scene, nnd it
was with difilculty that the firemen
nrevented the flames from spreading te
the Comet Gnrage, adjoining en the
south nt 1412-14 North Thirty-first
Btrcet.
Patrolman Fergusen, of the Twenty
eighth and Oxford streets station, dis
covered smoke and flames Issuing from
front windows of the "second fleer of
the bulldln occupied by the Rescoe
Turner Weed-Working Ce.
Fergusen broke into the building and
rushed te the second fleer, believing he
could extinguish the fire. Flames, fed
by Inflammable shavings, oils and lum
ber used In the cabinet Bhep, drove the
patrolman down the stairway.
The fire quickly swept the second
fleer from front te rear. An alarm was
net given until 0:20 o'clock, followed
by a second alarm nt 0:25 o'clock.
When firemen reached the scene
flames had licked their way te the third
fleer, occupied as a storage room bj
Rcrgner & Engcl, owners of the build'
leg.
Large quantities of varnish and rich
pine, used in the cabinet shop, caused
the blaze te threaten the destruction
of the (Comet Garage. Twenty auto
mobiles were removed from the place,
and firemen directed their attention in
preventing sparks and 'tufts of flames
from Igniting a large gasoline tank Ip
front of the auto establishment.
Rergncr A Kngel occupied the first
fleer of the building, using it as a car
penter shop. Keierc tbe flames were
controlled tbey hud swept through the
building te the basement.
Valuable antique furniture, which
Rcrgner & Rngel had stored at the rear
of all three floors, was totally destroyed.
Firemen saved a large shed at the
rear of the building, used as a ship
ping terminal by the brewery company.
A building at the north, occupied by
the offices of the F. A. Peth Hrewery,
was also saved. i
Walter H. Muller. assistant te the
general manager of Rcrgner & Kngel,
said the damage by the fire- will total
$73,000. He said the building wns dam
ngd te the extent of $50,000. the
antique furniture was worth $15,000,
stock of the cabinet shop was worth
$7000, and that $1000 would probably
cover the damage te the carpenter shop.
