Inanofncia statement o policy today Secretary of War Garrison declared in favor of im mediate' preparation of the military forces of the United States to meet any emergency, holding a discussion of dis armament by international lagreement 'tq be entirely out of place in the con sideration of what the United States governement should do to meet existing conditions. The secretary proposed re. tention cf the regular army at its- pres. ent strength, improvement of the na tional guard and creation of a reserve Declaring that he wts not urging militarism, Mr Garrison faid -ile leading men in the United States army do , not advocate militarism, which means the existence of a large standing army, compact, but thoroughly effi cient army. The most rabid anti-militarists, he said, could not seriously suggest that the greatest army of 89,000 to look after a population of more than 110,- 000,000. in the United States and the insular possession had any hint of militari m.in it. -"One. one will pretend," he addedm "- o one will pretena", he a ed, t at with a mobile force of less than 35,000 men in the United States pro per.) we are .prepared; in fact, if you don't alter the condition , we are not even prepared to prepare. If we are called to meet force - with force, we simply sacrifice men and money in a shameful way. We literally send men out to acquire their education in armies under the fire of an enemy, an enorrriity which has only to be stated to cause one to shrink from permitting it." For relief, the secretary proposed re serve of trained officers and men; im provements in the present national guard and provision for a volunteer soldiery, to be trained while the regu lars, the reserves and the national guards respond to the first danger call. Regarding the reverse the secretary suggested that this could be best treat ed without bringing into existence a -large professional soldiery by shorten ing the present four year enlistment term to two years, so as tp train more men, in shott periods and turn them back into civil life, immediately avail able in case of heed. To ensure a sufficient supply of offi cers, the secretary would make good Use of the acadeny at West Point, turning into civil life the graduates who are not needed in time of peace. Final ly, he 'Suggested a -graudate scheme should be provided so that volunteers may be. teadily called, officered, eqipu- ed .'and. trained when necessity arises.

Notorious Section of Duplin C . Again Visited By Govern ment Officers. TWO WHITE MEN C Offenders Plead Guil Counts and Are craven Uounty J. Albert Whaley and John., residents of the Purgatory l. Duplin county, were brought uj, city yesterday morning and plan jail in default of bond for their i ance at the next erm of Federa' to answer to charges of retailing ' aiding and abetting in the operation of an illicit distill. The warrant for these two men was swornvout before United States Com missioner C. B. Hill in this city last December by United States Deputy Collector J. E. Cameron. Several ( times the revenue officers have attempt- ed to place them under arrest but on r each occassion the men managed to elude capture. Early last Wednesday morning . Deputy Marshal Samuel Lilly and i, Deputy Co lector J. E. Cameron , d want Ua ( U HMJ -1 IVJ tin- iiujiic Ul tllC I W U 111C11 .aiiu demanded admittance. Knowing that they were dealing with desperate char acters, the officers informed them that it would be useless for them to offer any resistance as they were fully armed and meant business. Whaley and Basden evidently took this for granted for without any delay, they opened the door and admitted the two officers. Handcuffs were placed on them and they were placed in a buggy and carried- to Jacksonville where they were taken . before United States Commissioner F. W. Hargett for a preliminary hear- ing. The defendants plead guilty to " , six counts against them and Waived examination. They were placed under bonds of $150 each and indefault of this were ordered to be placed in jail .( until court Convened. , ' , The Purgatory section of Duplin county is said to be one of the most ' lawless sections of Eastenr North Caro- t ' lina. An officer is taking his life in t his hands every time that he goes there "V J after a law breaker and for this reason ' they always go heavily armed and ac- -companied by-one or more men. Some . years ago a revenue officers was fired . uppn by several moonshiners in that"" section but before they could wound him ho had killed one of their band and made his escape. Since that time the people there have had a strong hatred against the United JSfat'es offi cers and there have been several -scrimmages between- them- which, for-" tunately, have not resulted in any tragedies. , FOUNDATIONS FOR NEW BUILD ING BEING LAID. ,' Workmen yesterday began laying u the foundations for the brick building ' to be erected on the site of the structure ' formerly . occupied . by.; the Journal office on Craven street and whic h is i " owned by Eugene Williams.; This ',' work will be rushed to completion as ' early as possible and when the buildings- is completed itNwill be, occupied by the New Bern Garage Company.
