lAQEFOUIt 1 THE MORNING HERALD, DECEMBER 5, 1915 i exerted against the program Is that of $4,000,000 or only a third as much as Washington Happenings Washington, Decf 4.--The prepared ness program which President Wilson will ask the sixty -fourth congress to enact Into law Involves the expendi ture of more than f 1,000,000,000 and constitutes the most costly project ever laid before the national legisla ture. The plans which the congress will be asked to approve has been worked out bf Secretary Daniels, of the navy, and Mr. Garrison, head of the war de partment, after months of delibera tion with officials of the two depart ments. Their plans, which the presi dent approves, also have the endorse ment of Representatives Hay and Padgett, chairmen of the house mil itary and naval committees and Sena tors Chamberlain and Tillman, heads of the corresponding committees In . the upper chamber. There will be stern opposition to the preparedness program from within as well as without the ranks of the democratic party. The most powerful opponent of the entire plan of prepar edness Is former Secretary of State Bryan. Mr. Bryan's differences with the President began over a note to Germany which caused the Nebras- kan to resign from the cabinet. , The differences between the president and Bryan have continued until they cannot agree even upon the construe tion to be placed on a passage from the Prophet Ezekiel, with reference to preparedness. Their friends pre diet that there will be still 'fewer things upon which they agree a few weeks hence. The forces opposed to preparedness already have rallied to Mr. Bryan's support.

GLAD'STHIW THmTY-THREE. YEARI IN BUSINESS IN DURHAM. RELlABLr $Af Vi'E UNDERSC5.L AND SAVE YOU MONEY. ANC Representative Kitchin, ,of North Carolina, the new house leader. Offl cials say there Is a "Bryan ring" in Kitchin's declaration that the war program is "going to shock the civil ized world and whatever be th'e out come of the present war, will alarm the world again Into an armed camp He, moreover, declares every nation will be convinced that "our country has other designs than mere self de fense' So much for the point of view of the pacflsts, termed by their opponents 4the peact-at-any-price" men. The proposed expenditure of more than a billion practically would com mit congress to a five-year policy in the development of the army and navy. More radical are the increases proposed tor the army, calling for the ' expenditure of some $600,000,000 during the next half decade. ' The regular army would be increased to 141,000 officers, and men, the national guard would comprise 129,000 more while a reserve army of citizen sol- liery numbering 400,000 would bring the total up to 670,000 officers and men wnen the Garrison plan is in omplete operation. Mr. Garrison es timates that at the end ofsix years the United States would have 1,070,000 trained soldiers ready to take the leld. The increases for the regii'ar army would be ten regiments of in- antry, four regiments of field artill ery, fifty-two companies of coast ar tillery, fifteen companies of engineers and four aero squadrons. The big reserve army to be raised from among civilians would be re cruited at the rate of 133,000 annually. These recruits would spend two months annually with the colors in actual military service for three years, and for three years following would be in reserve. The militia would be paid and equipped out of annual ap propriation of $10,000,000. But this, does not satisfy the national guard. They see in the organization of the reserve the elimination of the guard rrom the position it has held as part of the defensive forces. At the na tional guard convention in San Fran 3isco on!y last month, that organiza tion declined to approve Mr. Gar- -ison's plan. The influence of the na tional guard then, while not lined up ivith Mr. Bryan, will have to be ?ounted as opposed to the Wilson program. Here is the estimated cost of putting. Mr. Garrison's plan into op eration: First year ,$ 182,000,000; sec ond year, $212,000,000: third and ourth years, $228,000,000; annually thereafter!, $182,000,000. These fig ures include the maintenance mean time of the present military establish ment. - Pointing, out that military systems based upon universal service, con scription or national control of the public schools fall either under the ban of the constitution or of tradi tional sentiment, Secretary Garrison n discussing his plan said: "It be 3omes necessary therefore to devise 'ome method available for the use of 'he nation in time of war a national 'orce in supplement of that part of he nat'onal force, to wit, the regular irmy, which is constant y under irms; a part of the army in other words, to be raised and maintained by ongress and governed in all respects n accordance with its directions When this system is devised and made operative the nation would militarily ie in this situation: It would have is the constitution provides, an army aised and maintained by it, composed of a certain number constantly under irms and a very much larger number lefinitely identified in personnel,-pro naea witn equipment and orgamza- ion, possessed of some training and subject to instant call. The status vould have the organized militia, de 'eloped with federal assistance to the lighest practicable point of efficiency, ivailable for the purpose specified in he constitution and so circumstanced hat in the event of a war with 'oreign nation they could by their own volition, immediate'y take their place vith the bther military force of the lation." Secretary's Daniels' proposed big ?er navy would be constructed at an expenditure of $500,000,000 during the lext five years in addition to a regu- ar budget approximating $100,000,000 innually. Here is the building pro- ;ram: Ten dreadnoughts, six battle hips, ten scout cruisers, fifty de stroyers, fifteen seagoing submarines iighty-five coast defense submarines, our gunboats, one hospital ship, two vmmunition ships, two fuel oil ships md one repair ship. During the five ears $6,000,000 would be expended on iviation and sohiething like $25,000, 100 on reserve munitions. . Mr. Daniels also recommends these additions to the personnel of the iavy: 7,500 bluejackets, 2,500 ap prentices and 1,500 marines, a total tt 11,500 men. If his addition is granted at this sesion of congress tfr. Daniels estimates that all battle ships not more than fiiteen years o d, lestroyers and submarines built with- n twelve years, half of the cruisers and all of the gunboats and auxiliary craft can be manned with adequate reserve left for vessels in reserve. In xsking for an increase in marines. Mr. Daniels will also ask for one additional brigadier general, two colonels, two lieutenant colonels and proportionate number of officers in other grades. The estimated expenditures Involv ed in the five-year building program ire as fo.Iowg: First year, $57,000,- m; second year, $34,000,000; third year. $50.900,000 ; fourth year. $89. OOO.OOO; fifth year. $102,000,000. Already some disagreement has de veloped among naval experts over the desirability of adopting the proposed battle cruiser. Six of these vessels will be asked for, costing approxl- mately $18,000,000 each. Now some! of the constructors believe better ser-1 ice would be obtained from a Teasel ' of the snperscout ti De costinr about the battle cruiser. Information has reached the navy, department that Great Britain ; at present is expert -menting -with a ship of this type. It would have no armor but would mount two fourteen-inch guns on deck. The battle cruiser type of vessel is armor ed as a battleship and her fourteen inch guns are mounted in turrets. If difference of opinion should be come marked as the discussipn of the building program is taken up by con gress, there is likelihood that appro priations for the battle cruisers, would be eilmiuated altogether. And dis sensions as to the merits of the other units of the building' program would in all probability serve to put the brakes on. increased appropriations all along the line, , A VALUABLE MAN. Washington, Nov. 30 William Kil Patrick, who hails from Mississippi, and is confidential clerk to Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Byron Newton, is considered to be practical ly indispensible by his boss. In fact, Mr. Newton freely admits that. Kil Patrick is worth more to Uncle Sam than most of his high salaried offl cials. And from the accounts of all the officials of the treasury whose dutie bring them in contact with Kilpatrick, the estimate of Mr. Newton is not too high. Assistant Secretary Newton frankly admits that Kilpatrick is the power behind his throne as far as the department work of the office -is con cerned. Having served through several ad ministrations! Kilpatrick knows the reasury department as thoroughly a he does his own home. He has held the position of confidential clerk - to the assistant secretary the treasury who has charge of public buildings, the coast guard and the public healtn service, sincb he entered the department. He is es pecially keen in spotting persons who come to his office to unload worthless eal estate onto the government for use as postofflce sites and other pub lie buildings. He always has a cheer ful smile for all visitors to the office except these men. He always is on the job and does not take a vacation. Recently Mr, Newton prevailed upon him to take a week off, but twice a day during that (ime he telephoned the office to find out if there was not something that required his attention. "Kilpatrick is the kind of man," said Mr. Newton, "who should be a shining light to every government employe." Kilpatrick takes his position mod estly and has his own creed of en- aeavor. He says: "I have always considered that it is my job to make the administration of the particular assistant secretary of tbe. trjsur)l)g hajiDened to be my boss for j&etjjpe., as much Of 'a success as I can make it." ' URIC ACID IF MEA I CLOGS THE KICK I During (the last congress Mr. New ton spent three days before a con gressional committee trying to get Kilpatrick a raise. He flnally'suc ceeded in having $200 a year added to Kllpatrick's pay in the house, but this was cut out in the senate when that body pruned the appropriations in the interest of economy. FIND GOODNESS IN PLEASURE. People Beginning to Understand That It Is a Mistake to Work Too Hard. For a good many years we had1 a creed that the only way to keep men or women good was to work them to death. We didn't consider ourselves virtuous unless we ended eachday so toil-wearied that we had no ambition for anything but bed. When we had a holiday we didn't know how to use it, and either slept it away or did something that landed us in jail. ' Tire doctors are telling us now that there is a fatigue poison; that we owe highest planes of being. Indeed, Utf it to ourselves not to overwork. Theymuch work has often been as mucn n great labor unions" are demanding shorter hours and graded work, eo that men and women ) workers shall not be overtaxed, and so that the few may not be overworked and underpaid at tho expense of the many. , We are learning very, very gradu ally, that man was not created to la bor eighteen hours out of the twenty four In order that he may have the privilege of eating and usieepmg. Very, very gradually we are being taught that we are partners in God s pasture, and that, rich or poor, we have the right to take our share of sunshine and fresh air and an idle time to enjoy them. A fair measure of leisure in each day is" necessary to cultivate sweet ness and saneness of soul, and the man or woman, boy or girl, so over worked that there is no opportunity for recreation, never reaches the breeder of crime as too much w". . . Sometimes it is a desperate effort, to escape from the grind. More oft en it isvan intelligent graving for ex- 'citement "something different. Variation of Birghtnea. -In the bulletin of the astronomical society of Barcelona, Senor Vincente Ventosa y Martinez de Velasco has jus,t published a somewhat belated ac count of an observation of an unpre- dieted occulation of the brighter com ponent, of Beta Scorpi, which he se cured on' February .27, 1876. The va riatl6n in the brightness of the stars as it left the limb of the planet leads Senor Ventosa to estimate the height of the - Jovian atmosphere at 1,500 to 1,800 miles.
