ISON AT WORK DEFENSE PLA y fo Submit Program to ongress Next Week Ington, Dec. 30.—Secretary , in seclusion at his home in sey, is giving over the entire week to preparation for the presenting to the congressional committees the army’s part [dministration national defense When congress reconvenes he will be ready to submit gures and arguments in sup- the plans. Mr. Garrison left Washing- | took with him copies of every pental report and official docu- earing on the preparedness p. He believes, it was asserted t by an official who has had fo do with framing the plan, lcorrect statement of the prob- n lead only to the general con- g embodied in the continental heme. From this official, who among ‘those authorized to to the committees an ampli- lof the views of the administra- s obtained the following out- what the secretary expects to mgress ‘the proposed program ! Outline of Program. 'Write a definite military policy ged on the unanimous conclu- jof military experts of the na- tion, past and present, and which, therefore is sound in theory and cor- rect in application. 2. Enroll within three years and give some preliminary training ab least to 500,000 mobile troops. 3. Provide within six years for an additional force of 500,000 reserves for the troops with the colors. 4. Furnish the most attractive form of voluntary military service it is possible to devise, thereby serving as| 2 final and conclusive test of the possibility of organizing in peace times an adequate volunteer army system. 5. Furnish a system to which uni- versal military service could be ap- plied quickly and without the neces- sity of extensive reorganization. { 6. Furnish a regular mobile army sufficient to co-operate in the train- ing of continentals and also to carry | on the necessary peace &ctivities. 7. Furnish through cadet panies attached to regular reglments an adequate and certain school for regular continental and reserve offi-! cers. 8. Furnish, bgginning at once, a system under which an adequate en- listed reserve for the regular army i would be built up and maintained. | 9. Begin at once, to be concluded {in four years, the expenditure of $81,- 1000,000 on extension and improvement | !of coast defenses, making them far superior to those which any other { nation has ever contemplated. 10. Furnish an adequate trained i force to man all coast defenses, now lacking nearly fifty per cent. of the | necessary personnel. { 11. Build up within four years a reserve supply of material to cost $104,000,000, and estimated upon the| consumption of ammunition shown by | the best available reports from the Eitropean war. 12. Inaugurate a system under which - commercial munition plantsI can be fostered by the government in peace times insuring an adequate and continuous supply of guns and shells in times of war. The vital thing, it is contended, is to obtain the names of 400,000 men who are obliged to come to the colors at call, to supply them with necessary arms, equipment, organization and mobilization instructions, and to give i{hem rudimentary military training at least, probably a month a year for each of three years being all that could be hoped for. If this were ac- complished, experts say, and if offi- cers and non-commissioned officers for the force were found and assigned, a great stride would have been taken, a short cut to the formation of a volunteer army in time of need that would have months of delay if it ac- complished nothing more. LUSITANIA GASE UP AGAIN NEXT WEEK Germény to Send New Proposals for Settlement Next Week Washington, Dec. 30. posals from Germany for a settle- ment of the Lusitania controversy, which the Berlin foreign office hopes will be acceptable to the United States are expected to be presented to the state department next week.

Today it was said that the German proposal re- sulting from these conversations probably would arrive soon after New Year’s day. Information received here indicates that the Berlin foreign office is anx- ious to end the controversy in spite of adverse public opinion said to have been aroused by the American re- quest for withdrawal of the German naval and military attaches and the demands upon Austria-Hungary as a result of the sinking of the Ancona. Status Closely Guarded. The present status of the negotia- tions is very closely guarded. The United States has contended all along for a disavowal of the sinking of the Lusitania and reparation for the American lives lost. A proposal by Germany to arhitrate the question of indemnity was rejected. It has since been suggested that Germany might make reparation with the understand- ing that it would involve no admis- sion of wrongdoing. It is understood that no agreement will satisfy the United States unless it contains some- thing in the nature of a disavowal, but Germany contends that her in- structions to submarine commanders to discontinue such attacks as 'that on the Lusitania, is the most effective disavowal that could be given. Bearing on Dispute ‘With Austria. It is regarded here as especially significant that a settlement of the CASH IN ADVANCE. MINIMUM CHARGE 10e ONE CENT A WORD EACH INSERTIO TO RENT.
