MUST SIDE WITH ALLIES I] OR FIGHT GERMANY [Continued From First Page] which lasted uhtll nearly midnight lat-t night. The Adjutant General, who has been 1 In close touch with the War Depart ment at Washington since the United, States severed diplomatic relations I with Germany, made no attempt to disguise tho concern he manifestly, felt at what he bluntly described us the military unpreparedness of the State and nation. Now on Brink of War He declared that the United States was on the brink of war, that "no Am erican knows what Is going to happen pext, nor need be surprised if the gov ernment should be found Impotent in case of war." \ us face the facts," he continued. 'We do not know when our soldl-2i s j will be ordered Into the trenches. If | we go to war, it will not be singly, for, If we do not join Issues with the Allies. | where will we stand? We must net j ready not only to defend our own shores from Invasion but get ready to send men abroad to help those with whom we must ally ourselves if we are not to be found fighting alone in some great crisis which the future now has hidden from us." The hearing at which the Adjutant General spoke was conducted after he and other members of the State Armory Board had previously agreed that at least $3,000,000 must be pro vided by the Legislature for the con struction and equipment of adequate quarters for the National Guard of Pennsylvania if it was to be placed upon a basis of genuine military pre paredness. The Adjutant. General announced that a bill providing for such an ap propriation would bo drawn up and Introduced in the Legislature at the 1 earliest possible moment. Senator Buckman, of Bucks, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, eat with Representative Woodward, of Al legheny, chairman of the House Ap propriations, at the hearing. the Adjutant General, there were present Brigadier General Al bert J. Logan, of Pittsburgh; Major General Charles Bowman Dougherty, of Wilkes-Barre; Brigadier General William G. Price, Jr.; Colonel Louis A. Watres, of Scranton. former Lieu tenant Governor of Pennsylvania; and Colonel George C. Rickards, all promi nent officers of the Guard and all members of the Armory Board, of which Governor Brumbaugh is the president. Adjutant General Stewart cited facts ] and figures to show that the govern ment had already Invested vast sums to bring the National Guard of Penn- j sylvania up to its present war strength and that the State would be certain to receive a substantial return upon the $3,000,000 asked for in case the Legislature provided that amount for State armories and stabling accommo | dations for the government horses be longing to cavalry and artillery. He sounded a note of warning if the "call to arms" comes that no State would require more real pre paredness than Pennsylvania if only because of her great munitions making and other industrial plants, i . N. (i. P. Among the Best i "None of us can tell when some body is going to do the most damnable things right in our own State," de clared the Adjutant. General. "I have only just received from a certain cor poration information that it alone pos sesses twenty-eight magazines which are veritable arsenals. "No State is better prepared from a military standpoint than Pennsylvania. "We should be proud of our Na tional Guard but we should take proper care of it. These are serious times and it behooves Pennsylvania to set an example to the rest of the coun try in proving its military prepared ness. Upon such a State as ours the national government depends. Let us not be unworthy of her confidence in us. She has shown that confidence in the vast sum she has expended upon our Guard. Why should wo not do Jour share? "If our house Is In danger tho first thing we do Is to care fbr it. We might as well realize that we could not afford, as a State or as a nation, an Independent peace between the al i lies and Germany, No greater mili tary prize exists to-day than our own country. In the event of war with Germany we would have to not only ! guard that prize but join with the al lies In helping to make war. I General Dougherty, reading from a I letter from Major Moseley, U. S. A., quoted that army officer ns aylng that the National Guard of Pennsylvania was "the marvel of all the United States army officers who saw it." "It Is time to come up to the scratch," said the General. "It is time to serve notice on the rest of the Union that Pennsylvania stands for real military preparedness and is will ing to properly house and care for her citizon soldiery. Why, the State of New York has $26,000,000 invested in armories alone and I do not hesitate to compare our Guard with hers." As the hearing dre wto a close, Sen ator Buckman remarked that the State "must have money to appropriate be fore it can make appropriations." "We trust that we will receive your support in the event of our deciding upon certain revenue measures In or- I der to meet urgent financial requlre jments," asked the Senator. "You certainly will have mine and j that of every member of the Armory j Board," declared Adjutant General Stuart —and there the hearing closed. JSraHHr.
