PULLAR PREPAREDNESS NOT SOUND AIM FOR U. . Hamilton Holt Says We Do Not Need Increased Armament | WILSON LIKE WASHINGTON Politiciang and Politics Deplored by T Editor of “Independent” at Meeting of Connecticut Congregational Club In This City. The February meeting of the Con- | necticut Congregational club was held in the South Congregational church last night. A supper was served in the basement, after which the assem- blage moved into the main auditorium where a short business session was held. President W. H. Squire of Mer- iden presided. Secretary Harry Smith read the minutes of the last meeting, which were accepted. On motion of the nominating committee, the secre- tary was instructed to cast one ballot admitting two new members to the or- ganization. The executive committee offered two amendments, which will be voted upon at the annual meeting in April. The first concerned the annual dues. It is proposed to in- crease them from $2 a year to $2.50. Heretofore the quarterly meetings have always been held on the ninth or tenth of the month. The resolution provides the gatherings shall be held in April, which is the annual meeting, and October, December and February between the third and ninth of the month, the secretary to mnotify the members five days before the sched- uled time. Following the meeting, Hamilton Holt of New York, editor of the “Independent,” delivered an ad- dress on “World Peace.” An abstract of his address follows Three Arguments Against War. “There are only three against war. Sometimes a fourth is offered but this is a fallacy. The idea that we can stop war by making it more terrible is disapproved by the present conflict. The aeroplanes, submarines and other engines roam- ing about and the test of quivering flesh against machines is indeed ter rible, but men are not afraid to die, which is being demonstrated daily. arguments ‘you can get rid of eczema with Resinol Resinol Ointment, with Resinol Soap, usually stops itching #zstantly. 1t quickly and easily heals the most distressing cases of eczema, rash or similar tormenting skin or scalp eruption, not due to serious internal re Sold bv all drupeist s Notice.

Correct stomach ailments Jat once by promptly taking BEECHAM'S PILLS .- They aid digestion, regulate the bile, gently stimulate Men are not cowards, so we can pass over this fourth argument. Then there is a corollary to the fourth ar- gument, it can be stopped by being prepared. Preparedness brings forth the force and force brings on war. ‘Wilson Playing Politics “It is singular to note that Pr, dent Wilson has changed his mind re- garding the matter of preparedness during the past year, just why is not fathomable to my mind, but there is a suspicion that the President is look- ing forward to his political future. It has been said that the President is radical from a military standpoint. He proposes to increase the regular army from 102,000 to 140,000. This is not enough for police duty during peaceful times, therefore it is unrea- sonable. Then he proposes a great Continental army. Citizens should enlist for six years, serving two months in each twelve for the first three yvears and then staying on the reserve list. This is not a radical departure although it may interfere with the work of the National Guard. Young men may not be able to give up so much time during a year and their employers perhaps may not be able to spare them. If this plan goes through, New York’s quota will be forty thousand men. At present the National Guard in that state should be 16,000 but even that is not filled, so where are the men coming from? The day has passed when everyone was familiar with the workings of a firearm and could go fox-hunting. Still this step is not radical. Naval Increase. “President Wilson has suggested in- creases in the navy and for that pur- pose has mapped out five year pro- gram. Tt is a big departure and the need of more submarines and aero- planes is great. It is simply bring- ing forward hurriedly a military pro- gram, but a careful analysis shows the increase asked for is very small. He says $100,000,000 a year will be need- ed to carry out this program. This ought to be done if there is any dan- ger. 1 have made a careful perusal of the various reports submitted by naval commanders and 1 find the president is right in regarding our navy fourth in strength, if tonnage is taken as a criterion. According to our naval experts our navy is third as a fighting power. Man to man it is as efficient as any on earth, In strength it is second only to England. Statement of Napoleon, “Over 100 years ago, Napoleon said ‘No nation would ever think of over- seas invasion, for it cannot fight at full strength at a distance.’” Tn our own waters, our navy is as strong as any on earth and it would be idie to suppose we could ever think of invading any other country.

If this increase is added, it will be the great- est military expense on earth.

Unnecessary Army Posts. “We have now within the confines BAKING are necessary. Not only do the con- gressmen keep them there for poli- tical purposes, but it is proposed to build fifty new ones. It is interesting to note that of these posts, fifteen are for protection from Indians. Philadelphia Congressmen. “Experts have said maximum ficiency in naval affairs can be ob- tained by having one large navy vard, where even our largest ships could de berthed. The Norfolk Navy yard was considered the ideal place and plans were made to build a huge dry dock there. But a Philadelphia congress- man, looking for political glory after thinking the matter over, decided the dock ought to be built in h city and accordingly worked the strings so the Norfolk scheme was voted down. So at this time we have no dock large enough to accommo- date our largest ships. Efficiency Necded. “Efficiency is needed in the man- agement of public affairs and if it is obtained $80,000,000 a véar will be saved. The president advocates na- tional factories and in this connec- tion it is observed that while armor plate costs $600 a ton in this country, the price a ton in Russia is only $230. Labor in the European countries is cheaper than here and as a financial proposition national factories will prove a failure. Hobson and Wood Wrong. Wood and Congress Hobson have said there is more to fear from a Japanese invasion than any other. Now the question, whicn arises is, how could the Japanese do it? Japan has a population of 60,- 000,000 people; ours is 100,000,000. History has shown that Japan has al- ways valued our friendship highly. In fact that was the only nation on earth that loved us. True this love was weakened a little by the fornia incident, but very little. half of Japan's trade is with us s war would ruin two-thirds of country merchants. The are subjected to the .heavie earth, $30 out of every $100 going to the government. To invade th country Japan must need have a pow- erful navy for transportation of its troops. On paper their navy is thirty per cent. inferior to ours and com- ing such a distance it will be seventy per cent. During the present wa England, with the most navy known, has not been land troops on German soil, so how could Japan do it here? Japan's standing army is 250,000 men and it would have to he doubled to effect & invasion. If this were started, news would leak out and we woull be aware of it. They have no ship that could get here and back on its own coal and granting they could, the American submarine is fast than any boat. Hudson Maxim sa: one man in a trench is vorth three coming to it.
