HARRISBURG. PA., SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 4, 1915. MILITARY DEFENSE BIG Washington, D. C., Dec. 4. —Such a multiplicity of questions of highest importance are to come before the Sixty-fourth Congress that, even if the Senate should decide to gag itself apainst unlimited debate, it is unlikely that the coming session will end before midsummer. Perhaps the biggest question coming before the Senate will be the national defense program. The military affairs committee of the Senate, headed by Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, as well as the House military affairs committee, of which Congressman Hay is chairman, has been working day and night with Secretary of War Gar rison and the general staff of the army shaping the program into the form of bills. These bills will cover every feature of the plan detailed by President Wilson in his speech last month before the Manhattan Club of New York. Although some Republican senators will fight the bill because they consider it inadequate and some Demo crats oppose it because they believe, like Bryan, that it proposes superfluous strength, the chances are that the majority of the Senate will view the President's plan as a satisfactory medium between the extreme of perpared -11 ess and unpreparedness. Most of the senators who have so far reached Washington from their respective states have stated that tliey feel sure the sentiment of the people favors preparedness, but not more than the amount of preparedness proposed by the President.

COOL ENGINEER FOILS BANDITS | Carries Holcl-l'p Men Past Where Their Confederates Are Waiting By Associated Press Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 4. Two posses to-day are pursuing the bandits who last night attempted to hold up a southbound passenger train on the Iron Mountain railroad near Malvern, Arkansas. The holdup was foiled through the coolness of Theodore P. Homard, the engineer, and so quickly were officers and citizens on the trail of the would- I be robbers that a battle was fought with them less than three hours later. Sheriff J. Stanley, of Malvern, was wounded in the foot. Two men climbed on the "blind bag gage" into the engine cab and ordered Engineer Homard to stop the train | when he saw a. camp fire. The engi j tteer took his time bringing the train to a halt and the robbers were carried a mile beyond the place where their confederates were supposed to be wait ing. Seeing that they were outwitted, the men leaped from the train and escaped.

And he took off his shoes in the warden's office to prove he meant to stay. Poor Clerk John R. Geyer and Under keeper Riley Shope urged and threat ened, cajoled and sneered and urged and insisted and finally took Mike by the arms and gently assisted him to the door. He looked back regretfully.
