GREAT WAR TRUST P E: m w ORLD WIDE (Continued trom Page 1.) —_—— cently the big navy men declared the" German navy was stronger than ! our navy, and that if we do not in-! crease our naval - armament, Old Glory is liable to go to the bow- wows instanter. ‘We are now spending 68 per cent ! of all revenues, exclusive of postal receipts, for war, in time of peace. And with the endless chain system of agitation being carried on by the war trust, and the ever-increasing| appropriations by congress, where is! the thing going to stop? The helplessness of the taxpayers may be realized from the following colloquy which occurred recently be- tween Congressman Finly H. Gray of Indiana and Admiral Vreeland one of the champion big navy boosters of the navy. ) Mr. Gray. “I wish to inquire of | the admiral if it is not the policy of other governments to increase their navies with all the other leading powers?” . Admiral Vreeland. “It is, sir.” Mr. Gray. “What would be the advantage to us or any other power | if the navies were increased equally, by all nations of the world? Would ' there be any advantage to us or to| any other power?” . 1 Admiral Vreeland. “Not if you mean in the same ratio.” Mr. Gray. “Would not the same grounds exist after an increase for a further increase?” Admiral Vreeland. “It would seem s0.” Mr. Gray. advantage gained by then.

DECLARES HE CAN PROVE IT Roosevelt’'s Comment on Barnes’ Libel Suit. New York, July 25.—The ‘trial of the libel suit of William Barnes, “Boss” j chairman of the Republican state committee, against Theodore Roose- velt, in which $50,000 damages are asked because of references made to Mr. Barnes in a political statement issued Wednesday niglt,“wilt' be held in Albany county, the home of Mr. Barnes, unless Mr. Roosevelt gets a change of venue. Chairman Barnes is anxious for a speedy trial of the case. Mr. Roosevelt has given no indica- tion of what his course will be. His only comment on the case was made when he heard a suit was proposed. “Let Mr. Barnes go on,” he said. “I have never said anything that I could not prove.” According to an Ttalian every per- son_in the world could stand com- fortably in an area of 500 square miles, whila a graveyard about the size of Colorado would bury them all, Hungary prohibits the use of col- oring extracts in beer and the im- portation of adulterated or artificial- Ty colored. heer _— 5 ..
