If the states announce thelr willingness to co-operate with the War department steps will be taken toward put- ting the plan into action. The matter of a generl rearrangement of the various army posts occuples a prom- inent place in the report. The secretary of war expresses his convietion that, as now situated, the army posts do not meet the requirements of the service, many of them belng fsolated and difficult of ac- cess, The majority of these posts, he points out, sprang Into existence because in the early days of the west the regular army was largely used for the protection of set- tlers trom the Indlans. The Indians have long since ceased to be a menace to the whites, and the posts have outlived thelr usefulness. The army authorities now set forth that tactical and strategical necessi- ties require the locating of such army headquarters near the large cities, in close proximity to centers of transportation, and with a view. to co-operation with the militla. Troeps Near Large Citles, “Hence, the .three requirements,” says Secretary Dickinson, *“economy, possibility of rapid movément and training of the militia, would all be met in the most ef fective manner If the troops were stationed in or near the principal citles; and this | the course which the general staff beifeve should be, plrgued.” During fhé ‘fiscal year three elght-inci and twentyielght rapid-fire guns werc 8dded to the sea coast defenses of th United Statés. It Is also declared that the coast defenses in. the country's insular possessions are in m forward state of con- struction. Special mention Is made of the increasing ‘efficlency in marksmanship shown by the men who served the guns in the sea coast batteries and also In the field artiliery of the army. Praise also is glven the men of the regular army for excellent records made with small arms, Among a great number of other matters touched upon In che report, Secretary Dickinson speaks briefly but approvingly of the aeroplane and difigible balloon es engines of war. He adds, however, that because of the necessity for retrenchment, he will submit no plea to congress this year for an appropriation to admit of the purchase of & proper aeronautical equip- ment for the. army. He adds, however, that “the fagt must be recognized that all first-class powers except the United States are providing themselves systematically with acrial feets, Germany and France heing notebly in the lead.

OVER THREE TONS AN HOUR Each Trucklond Was Welghed Short Thirteen Pounds and Eight Londs Passed Over the Scales Each Mirute, NEW YORK, Dec. 1.—The fruitful op- portunity foi iraud in the haste and bustle of the enormous business done dally on the Willlamsburg docks of the American Sugar Refining company was what the kovernment sought to bring out today in its prosecution of the six former employes of the company now on trial charged with defrauding the government by under- welghts. David Fragner, a customs inspector, and once an assistant government welgher, tes- tified that at a busy, time two trucks a minute passed over a single set of scales ang each half ton, the government will con- tend, was welghed thirteen pounds short by the secret manipulations of government employes, who, it -Is charged, were paid cash by the sugar company for the evasion of customs duties. If the game ran prop- 'FII\'. the government stood to lose its duties jon 5,80 pounds of sugar every hour. As this steady flood of trucking rolled across the scales, the checker, who stood next the welgher, was too busy, said Frag- ner, to watch him. John J. Longhran, a checker, was asked it all the entries to which he certified rep- resented welghts he had seen the welgher find. “Not all,” had to be aw Cash to Customs Men. Three cross-examiners were unable to shake the testimony of Andrew J. Mallen, the clerk, who swore that James F. Ben- deragel, formerly cashler for the sugar company, pald cash at his office to cus- toms empoyes in uniform. Andrew J. Mallen, who testified yester- day that he had seen Bendernaegel, who | was in charge of the cashier's office of the Willlamsburg plant, pay cash to the men in the uniform of the customs serv- ice, was subjecied to a lengthy cross- examination today, Mallen was asked if the custom of mark- ing on the envelopes containing the pay of some of the accused welghers a smaller amount than the envelopes really contained dald not follow a strike in which a private settlement was made with these men on the basis of a salary increase. Mallen did not think the strike affected these men at all. He had no means of knowing, he sald, if Bendernaegel's pay- ments to customs service men were for overtime for which the company was ex- pected to compensate them.

Addross —~ l World's Dis, THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER BUDGET FIGHT UP TO VOTERS Rejection by Lords to Be Followed by Prorogation of Commons. STRUGGLE TO BEGIN AT ONCE Premier Asquith Will Present Motion in Lower House Protesting Agninst Usarpation Power by Peers. ot LONDON, nounced Dec. 1L—Premier Asquith an- in the House of Commons that tomorrow he would move a resolution that the action of ‘ne house of Lords In re- fusing to pass into law the financial pro- visions made by the lower chamber for the expenses of the year were a breach of the constitution and an usurpation of the rights of the House of Commons. When the premier entered the chamber this afternoon, the supporters of the gov- ernment rose to their feet and greeted him with ringing cheers. Immediately fol- lowing the conclusion of routine business the prime minister took the floor. As s0on as he concluded the house adjourned. In introducing his resolution tomorrow Premier Asquith will go exhaustively into the question of the respective privileges |of the House of Lords and the House of Commons and state in detall the govern- 'mnm‘n intentions. He also will fix the |day of prorogation, which probably will | he next Friday. Former Premier Balfour, leader of the opposition in the commons will reply set- ting forth the view that the new and important deparures in public policy repre- sented by the budget bill should be sub- mitted (o the people. John Redmond, head of the Irish party, and possibly one repre- seutative of the labor party will follow with,_speeches. Crinis Developing Rapidly The political crisis caused by the unpre- cedented action of the House of Lords in refusing Its consent to the government's budget is developing rapldly. The cabinet, which had already deter- mined on the policy it would pursue in the event of Lord Lansdowne's amendment being carried, had an unusually early meet- ing today to confirm its decision and con- sider the wording of the motion which Pre- mier Asquith will ask the House ot Com- mons to adopt All the members of the cabinet were pres- ent at the meeting, which excited so much popular interest that a great crowd gath- ered in the vieinity of No. 10 Downing street, the official residence of the pre- mier, The fact that there was not a remote possibility even that the crowd would learn what transpired within did not discourage the throng In the street, whose numbers became so great finally that a large force of police was summoned to prevent a pos sible demonstration. The ministers passed through the street to the premier's residence undisturbed by suffragettes and encouraged by the cheers of their supporters. Prorogation Will Come Soon. The time of the delivery” of the speech of prorogation, the substance of which was |decided on at yesterday's meeting of the |cabinet, will depend on the time occupled |for debate on the premier's motion, which |commences tomorrow. It 1is expected, | however. that this discussion will be brief, |the speeches, by prearrangement, being confined to the leaders of the . unionists, liberal, labor and Irish parties, Parllament will be prorogued doubtless |until the middle of January, but the cholce of a date Is & mere formality as the pres- ent house comes to an end by dissolution early in the year. The election campaign will open in earn- est on Friday, when David Lloyd-George, chancellor to the exchequer, and Winston Spencer Churchhill, president of the board of trade, who are held chiefly responsible for the budget, and Lord Lansdowne and J. Austen Chamberlain, the most ardent opponents of the government's measure will deliver speeches and, with the exception of a brief respite at Christmas, will con- tinue the fight until election day. Struggle a Notable One. In many respects the impending struggle | Wil be the most interesting in the parll- mentary history of England. Some of the peers have decided to take the unusual course of stumping the country to explain their action in voting against the budget. This course is belleved by many of the| lords to be imperative following the critism which fell from the lips of some of the staunchest of the unionists during the recent debate. L'oyd-George, Churchill and other radicals can be depended upon for fighting speeches in favor of the budget and against the lords, while Sir Edward Grey, forelgn minister; Richard Burdon Haldane, min- tster of war and other ministers will supply more moderate ammunition and | free trade arguments. The unlonists, al- though not so well equipped with orators, are determined upon a stern r‘:\mpulgn.‘ They will devote thelr energies to the exposition of tariff reform and a denuncia- tion of soclalism, towards which they will clatm the budget is a first step.
