Un- i (i..r the plan the first year's expen- j rl.ture would be $182,717,036 and a ji i'l.ru' of regulars, militia men and ) mntinentals of GTU.S 13 would be pro- J d.i.vd within three years which would l.e more than doubled by including the 4 re.-erves of each branch whichwld i he created within the first six year 3 continental, enlistment period. The annual upkeep cost of the War College ? plan after the system is in full opera- 3 Cion is estimated at $319,473,000 as J a.rainst $162,23-1,059 for the admims- ;l t ration plan. I Secretary Garrison's statement J !. -ws that the War College has been i a.s .-;ed to renew its consideration of 1 tnc subject in order that certain of its estimates may be more fully work- I e l out. j Points in Report I The report opens with a consider- t atiun of the military problem con- ; fronting the United States from which j it reaches the conclusion that "The safeguard of isolation no longer ex- i.-t.-." since ''The oceans, once barriers, ; are now easy avenues of approach I by reason of the number, speed and . carrying capacity of ocean-going ves- seis.'' It declares that the successful I outcome of the wars in which the coun- try has been engaged has given the I i--.il! ic a w rong impression, in as much ,4 :. careful study of f!iese wars re- : seals "a startling picture of faulty j leadership, needless waste or lives and pnp.rty, costly overhead cnarges a uc.r nun ted by payment of bounties to !: t-p up voluntary enlistments, undue IT'iior.gation of all these wars and :::.a:!y, reckless expenditure of public fur. i i for continuing pensions." "Hut we have not learned our less or," the report adds. "It has never Umii driven home by the bitterness f defeat. We have never known a Jena cr Sedan." Turning to "Our abiding national I--'.v ios," the board finds these to be .!.' Monroe doctrine and the policy ol c. aiding "entangling alliances." To r.aintuin these, it says, a coordinated idi.'y of land and sea defense must ).; evolved. Comparison Tin' report contains a table of the Mi'.Ltary strength of the seven leading !'! -ii powers as of August, 1914, aad also an estimate of the available Mi l ling for a military expedition to t).- United States. It says a "reas- ab!" estimate" shows that Austria liMi.gary, with a total trained force of '..'iJu.iiDij men, could send 180,000 men iUi all necessary stores and animals a ia..,s the seas within 40.7 days two expeditions; France, with 5,000.000 i. en, 40 1J2G in 30 days; Germany v.ith 5.000,000 men, 827,000 in 30.8 'lavs; Great Britain with 6(J5,000 men, ITn.OQO in 27 days; Italy with 2.G00, 'i) men, 227.000 in 35 days; Japan, v.i!, 2.212.000 men. 238.3G7 in 41 days aa l Russia, with 5,000,000 men 104, 'iV 1 in 40 days. 'i he qualities of these troop3, with 'he exception of the Japanese who I !'. td themselves in the Russian war, f 'e now being tested the report de iaie.j and finds that the result is to !i"v "an example of resultant effi 'I' niy of any nation that has de- 'doped a sound military policy; the :n !e,,t policy being the one which 'i ires a successful termination of the v-ar in the shortost time." Military Problem I'i esMitiiig the military problem of rountry the report continues: "Without superiority on the sea or adequate land force there is noth to Mrcvcnt any hostile power or ' 'alition of nmvM's.frfim landinf or "'r shores such part of its trained ;''' l dis' dplined troops as its available ' ran:-ports can carry. The time re '! ''red is limited only by the average P' t-l of its vessels and the delay ne ' . arily consumed in embarking and da mbarking." What is Needed In iU recommendations for the HICEORYJDAlY RFfHRTTD 1 1 A. i f.l. r r REPORT j regular army the report contempt's a mobile lorce of 121,000 men with the colors in continental United States, 27,000 coast artillery with re serves to bring the corps up to 60,000; one reinforced division in the Philip pines, one division in the Hawaiian Islands and one in Panama. Of the Philippine earrison it says the policy of holding the group is a national not a military one but that it must be remembered that unless the navy holds absolute conrrol of the seas, no additional troops can be sent there at need. The defense of the Pearl Harbor naval base can be ac complished properly, the report con tinues, only by adding c mobile force to the garrison to meet attempts at landing and a similar situation exists in the Panama canal zone, and the sit uation of the Guantanamo naval station, of Porto Rico and Alaska are also pointed out as requiring perma nent army irrisons. The report reviews the situation in continental United States to show that because of geographical conditions mobile forces must be maintained in each of the Puget Sound, California, Atlantic and Middle West areas. The first three are described as the "crit ical areas." Puget Sound should have, t is stated, one division of troops, less the divisional cavalry, and a brigade of three regiments of cavalry; California and the North Atlantic States one division and a brigade of cavalry each; the middle west, a di vision less its cavalry and a brigade of cavalry. Two brigades of cavalry are assigned to the Mexican border. Under the distribution there would be 82,000 regulars of all arms on overseas service and 148,000 in the United States or a total standing army with the colors of 230,000 men and of ficers. Adding non-combant forces necessary, a grand total of 281,000 is reached for the standing army. MARKETS NEW YORK STOCKS (By Associated Press.) New York, Dec. 10. The only note worthy feature of today's early trad ing was another decline in the Anglo French bonds for future delivery at the new low quotation of 94.

Strikingly con tradictory opinions were PvnrpwH at a recent meeting of the Royal San-1 itary Institute concernin - whether the .v-i,viivu ucciease oi DaDies, as a re- sun oi tne war, should be regarded as a calamity or a blessing. The subject discussed was labelled, The National and Social Aspects of the Lowered Birth-Rate." Seme of the speakers demanded that the gov ernment should take the matter in hand and do everything possible to en courage and popularize maternity. Others though it should be stated they were in a minority held that the fewer babies born, for sometime to come at least, the better it would be for the country. Two speakers may be cited as representative of these divergent views. Sir John Cockburn urged the need of greater inducements to raise the birth-rate. Maternity, he said, now involved too heavy a tax on the poor er classes. He would have the govern ment provide bonuses on a liberal scale for maternity and make a sub-; stantial reduction in the income tax for each child born. '-We need," he declared, "to revive the medieval view which regarded sterility as a curse ur. Duniop boldly took the Mathu- view. iic iuurcu xuiwaru. lie de clared, with cheerfulness, to a fur ther reduction of the birth-rate. The encouragement of "parental prudence" among the poor was urgently needed at the present moment. He foretold i seroius rise in the death rate and great poverty in the next year or c.o, and if the thoughtful scientific people were so blind that they did not speak out, it would be far better for many children that they had never been born. . The only hope of avoid ing great hardship in the first few years alter the war was by a very jharp fall in the bith-rate now. PHILATHEA BAZAAR Much interest is being taken in the bazaar to be held by the Methodist Philatheas over the Busy -3e cafe from 3 until 10 o'clock this evening and tomorrow. Many v.-ze articles will be on sale, including confection;. opewe Cor (Bv Associated Press.) Hopewell, Va., Dec. 10. The town of Hopewell, swept by fire yesterday and last night, was almost as bare today as the cornfields on which its first buildings were put up a year ago. Four hundred houses, most of them wood constructed in feverish haste to care for operatives in the DuPont plant, were burned up by the flames. Scarcely a building stands, though the big explosive plant and company buildings nearby were not damaged. The loss is put at $1,000,000, which is said to be a conservative estimate. Thousands of refugees moved ab out yesterday afternoon or stood helpless while their business or homes burned and were housed in Peters burg and Richmond last night. Many stood guard over their goods during the night. Militia from Richmond came to the assistance of the police. Although many were injured, only one death was reported. A negro caught looting was said to have been strung to a tree in the edge of the town. The fire started in a Greex res taurant by the overturning of an oil stove. The tire ate its way to Danub and other buildings, the only church in the town being one of th first buildings to be burned. An 11-year-old boy was th hero of the fire. Twice he rushed into the fire and appeared with a baby in his arms. The DuPont plant, which is furnish ing munitions for the allies, stopped Innfr enoue-h to make sure that the -"--o plant would not be burned. There was little insurance, it was said, on the buildings which jammed together wood and brick without anv regard for safety. When it was seen that the town was doomed and the great guneotton plant endangered, orders were issued suspending all operations and the factory closed. The employes were set to work protecting the bufldincrs from flying sparks. The gravest dan ger was from woods nearby which caught fire and were still burning late tonight. . . About four o'clock m the afternoon one-half of the town's water supply was cut. off when ploes v.iich sup ported a portion of the high tension cable of the DuPont Company col lapsed, snapping the wires, which feed the current to the Appomattox river electric pumping station. It was feared that the remainder of the wires would go but prompt efforts by workmen prevented. Much Confusion. Hopewell policemen, assisted by a BAB a HICKORY, N. CDECElfeER 10.1915 : SMITH (By Associated Press.) Washington, Dec. 10. Senator Hoke Smith, in a vigorous speech in the senate today, called on confrrps to cause Great Britain to cease inter ference with the commerce of neutral nations. After quoting from the state de partment's protest apainst the British orders in council, in which the United States champions the integrity of neu tral rights, the senator urged that these rights should be respected. The right of any belligerent to in terfere with neutral commerce be cause the Toods eventually were de stined for an enemy cour.rry was de nied by Senator Smith. ALLIED ARMIES ARE NOW OUT OF SERBIA (By Associated Press.) Berlin, Dec. 10. According to in formation received in military quar- ters here the Anglo-French expedl tion in the Balkans has continued its retreat from Serbian territory. HEARD IN LONDON (By Associated Press.) London, Dec. 10. What seems to be an intimation that the troops of the sntente allies contemplate evacuating Serbian territory, if they have not al ready done so, is contained in a state ment issued in Saloniki, the Reuter's correspondent says, by the French commander. Seems to take a war to determine what is meant by "adequate" prepar edness. Wall Street Journal. Of course, the stand-patters deny that prosperity is here. Are they not in wrant of political sinecures? Chi cago News. special force of the powder company, held the situation well in hand until the troops arrived. There was the greatest confusion and bewilderment, but few attempts at looting. Many of those who had personal belongings and household goods re moved them to places of safety. Sur rounding the community which lay in ashes could be seen men. women and children seated upon such belongings as they had been able to save. It was not unusual to see men stand ing near by with freelv displayed re volvers, to protect themselves against robbery. While the fire raged the police were busy on all sides, keepinp- back a great throng of people eager to get near the flaminer structures. As soon as it was realized that the place was doomed, the police, assisted by experts from the powder plant, be gan dynamiting buildings. Place Evacuated. When the excitement was subsiding last night, the population literally evacuated the place. Families, indi viduals and small parties of friends and strangers set out carrying with them possessions they had saved. The more fortunate occupied motors and some got away in horse-drawn con veyances, but manv trudged along on foot. Some found refuge at DuPont City, which was at no time threaten ed, others went to City Point, but most made their way to Petersburg. On account of the "rc-i influx of people of Petersburg Mayor Cabiness ordered all saloons in that city closed last night. The state militia was called out to aid the police in controlling the crowds while the city council, cham ber of commerce, the Y. M. C. A., churches and other organizations and individuals took quick action to pro vide temporar" shelter for those who had lost their homes. Fanned by a 20-mile-an-hour north east wind the flames swept over Hope well at a rapid rate and burned them selves out when they reached a lumber yard situated at the intersection of Woodland avenue and the tracks of the Norfolk & Western Railwa" Resumes Operations. When all chance of danger had passed the DuPont plant resumed its operations, and the night shift men took their accustomed places at 11 o'clock. Special trains were arranged for to carry mar" of the homeless families to Wilmington, Del. With the entire place under martial law, work at the plant went on as usual, the only indications of the great con flagration being the smoking rums of the town. Soldiers were on guard at all points. When a call was sent out for as sistance, the Petersburg fire depart ment sent two engine companies aboard flat cars, to the scene. Com panies in Richmond were held in read iness to go to the rescue, but as the water supply of this place is limited, dependent almost entirely upon the system of the DuPont plant, it was found that it would be useless to bring more engines. 1 SPEAKS ON ENGLAND 11, Vdo, as Bare nfield in Which it Sprang Up a Year Ago PAPER IS HIGH. E, (By Associated Press.) Christiania, Norway, Dec. 10. Prices on all sorts of paper in Nor way have gone up thirty to forty per cent and are still on the increase. Some sorts cannot be manufactured by the Norwegian paper mills, as, for instance, blue paper, for want of blue dye-stuffs, which usually is sup plied by Germany. The central valleys in Norway are great lumber districts, much like northern Minnesota. The principal trees are pine and evergreen and, thanks to the numerous cellulose and paper mills, which have been built, in the last fifteen or twenty years, the value of the woods has increased con siderably. So many foreign facto ries had to stop because cr the war prices on the production from the Norwegian plants have gone up on cellulose from $40 a ton before the war to $70 a ton now. JAP EXPOSITION ENDS (By Associated Press.) Seoul, Korea, Dec. 10. The big in dustrial exhibition organized by the Japanese government was closed af ter havinc been visited by 900,000 peo ple. The general impression is that both the Korean and Japanese have had their eyes open to the vast am ount of hidden wealth awaitinp ex ploitation in Korea and that a great .mpetus has been given to industrial and commercial initiative. DECLARES STOCK DIVIDEND Lenoir, Dec. 10. The First Nation al Bank has declared a stock divi dend of 25 per cent. The Lenoir Manufacturing Com pany which has been operated for the past two years under a receiver ship, has been sold to Lfr. ii. A. Bush, Jr., who in turn has sold the large brick buildinf in town to the First National Bank for $8,000. The com pany will continue in business. A doctor says an onion, eaten raw, will clear the head. It will certainly insure ample breathing space. Al bany Journal. Water Was Needed- Those in charge of the powder plant were said to have delayed turning cn their water to make certain it was not needed to protect the company's property. Some said that had th-e water been immediately available that most of the towrn could have been sav ed. Others were of the opinion thai the flames spread so rapidly that ?t would have been impossible to stop them had water been available. Not a building in the town propsr was left standing, the two banks, the Hopewell State and the Farmers & Mechanics, were destroyed. However, the officers managed to save all their cash and securities on hand and ri moved them to Petersburg. Few of the DuPont workmen burn ed out in yesterday's fire failed to re port for duty today. Most of the regular employes lived in village A and village B. Hopewell and City Point were the market praces. where the floating population was housed. The burden of relief wa- rv so heavy as expected. The DuPont Company is sheltering large numbers of men, women and children in bunk houses, a new school house and a new club house. The com pany is feeding all. "Hopewell will be rebuilt perma nently in brick and stone," said a statement given out at the general office, "and the fire will result in great advantage." In the meantime many shacks were being put up todav to house those who will be at Hopewell tonight. Alex ander Zacharcors, a Greek, suffered a broken head under a fallen wall.

Driver, special represen- tative sent to Hopewell to determine i urVmt. measure;? should be taken for rflipf. Acting Mayor Adams earned a joint session of the city council to meet at noon for the relief measures. The Rich mond chamber of commerce met for the same purpose. A newspaper re lief fund has been opened and Hope well will have organized relief in Richmond before nieht. It is said that a relief campaign is under way in Norfolk. Governor Stuart at 11 o'clock stat ed that the situation was completely in hand at Hopewell and that halt the troops would be withdrawn before night. The others will be withdrawn P-raduallv in order to crive the police time to reform. The people who were at first wildly excited are now calm, he said his reports indicated.

SCARC IN NORWAY BULGARIANS VIOLENTLY ATTACK ANGLO-FRENCH Fear Expressed in London of Ability of Allies to Withstand Assaults No Evidence of Withdrawal Germans Lose Trench Recently Captured. (By Associated Press.) London, Dec. 10. The Bulgarians heavily reinforced and supported by artillery are renewing violently their attack upon the Franco-British forces in Macedonia. lhe assault is now reaching a climax. Although pursuit of the Serbians continues, it is conclusive that the Bulgarian army is bending its efforts to driving out the allies in Serbia. The outcome cf the battle is await ed with ereat anxiety in England as it will determine for the immediate future the position of the allies in the Balkans. The numerical supsriority of the Bulgarian forces already has been demonstrated in the initial en counters with the British, Grave doubt is felt here of the ability of the Jbritish forces to repel the attack of the Bulgarians.

The new plan of Prof. Browne is to have each boy follow a standard crop rotation each year, thereby improving the fertility of the soil instead of decreasing it. Schemes of rotation for the mountain, pied mont, and costal sections of the stat have been tested out by the state de partment of agriculture and the scheme will be recommended by th West Raleigh office for the boys in th club. - - ' MIS AUSTRIA ARE CHANGES ANNOUNCED VERA CASES RECORDERS ORMED
