HAY AND WILSON TO CONFER ABOUT ARMY ‘Will Discuss National Defense Plans ‘Which Call for Appropriation of $400,000,000. ‘Washington, Oct. 14.—Representa- tive James Hay, of Virginia, chairman of the house military affairs commit- tee, had an engagement with Presi- dent Wilson today to discuss plans for national defense which contemplate a four hundred million dollar appro- priation by the next congress. This would be an increase of approximately $140,000,000 over the previous year, of which about §$60,000,000 would be for the army and $80,000,00 for the navy. The additional expense probably will be met by a bond issue. Although the amount which con- gress will be asked to appropriate for the army and navy, it is understood, has been put at about $450,000,000, this amount may be cut down to about $400,000,000 at a conference next week between the president and Sec- retaries Garrison and Daniels. In- dications are that an appropriation of about $182,000,000 will be asked for the army and $218,000,000 for the navy. Today’s conference between Chair- man Hay and the president has to do particularly with plans for the army. The president had before him the out- lires of a military policy prepared by Secretary Garrison, which it is said provides in part for an increase in the regular army from 87,000 to 120,000 men and creation of a reserve of about 400,000 men. The president re- gards the army program as conserva- tive and well balanced. The president spent practically the entire morning going over Secretary Garrison’s estimates and plans, which are understood to propose an incease of 30,000 to 50,000 in the army, a large reserve to be created through in- ducing men to join the ranks by short term enlistmehts. The plans also in- clude encouragement of the National Guard and increasing of the number of army officers by using the military academy at West Point to its full ca- pacity. After conferring with Assistant Sec- retary Breckinridge, the president laid A German attack in the forest to he west of Tahure has been checked py our fire. ‘'There has been a reciprocal and Imost continuous connonading in the rraine district, in the vicinity of Reillon and Leintrey.” - Bulgarians Repulse Serbians.

During the past few days there has been a slight reactipn in most of our more active local stocks. This re- action has not taken place in our local stocks of the more conservative class that are not benefited by the war. Colt’s Arms, for instance, which recently sold as high as 850 has reacted ten or fifteen points. Standard Screw which recently sold at 320 has reacted to 300, the quota- tion now being 295 bid, 305 asked. Niles Bement-Pond Common has de- clined from 156 to'150, and American Brass from 256 to 250. The market has been more quiet because of these reactions. The general public does not seem to favor buying on a de- clining market, although far-sighted investors have been taking advantage of this temporary slump, for we be- lieve that the slump in only tempor- ary, and on that account we strongly urge the purchase of all our local stocks on any reaction. We believe that it is only a question of time be- fore an active advancing market will be resumed. The condition of the country is such that nothing short of an unforseen calamity will retard our prospects for several years to come. There has been a fairly active market in Landers, Frary & Clark with prices ranging from 56 to 58, and Stanley Works at from 66 to 68. Sales of American Hardware have taken place in the neighborhood of 120 and Union Manpufacturing Company from 78 to 80. New Britain Machine de- spite the strike holds firm at 76 bid, 79 asked. We understand that prac- tically all of the strikers at the North & Judd Manufacturing Com- pany have returned and that the com- pany is now running its full force. Although the market on North & Judd has been quiet at 105, bid, 110 asked there has been good investment buying and we believe that of the con- servative stocks this is one of the best in town for a permanent invest- ment. 55 is bid for New Britain Gas with stock in the market for sale at 58. The quotations on Amer- ican Hoslery remain the same at 140 bid. Stanley Rule & Level is offered at 400, and Traut & Hine at 44, New Departure Common has re- acted somewhat and is now offered at 171. This is probably due to the fact that this company will shortly of- fer to its stock holders new stock at par in the proportion of one share for each four now held. Probably quite a few Rights attaching to stock of this company, carrying the privilege to subscribe to new stock will be of- fered for sale. This accounts for recation. They are doing a bigger business than ever in its history, and there seems to be no doubt that the 8 .per cent. divdend which they now pay will be continued on the new stock. Bristol Brass has been somewhat reaction- ary with sales from 66 to 68. This is in comparison with its recent high price of This company is also doing the biggest business in ts his- tory. The Insurance stocks in Hartford remain form. 375 is bid for Aetna Fire and 730 for Hartford Fire with sales in the neighborhood. of 738. 370 is bid, and 375 asked for Nation- al Fire, and Phoenix is offered at 383. Standard Fire is somewhat stronger 641 being bid with no stock in the market under 66. The Bank stocks demain the same with several transactions in Phoenix at 200 and City Bank ranging from 132 to 133. 268 is bid for New Britain Trust company and 275 asked. KAISER PARDONS SWISS.
