POSSIBILITY OP
TWO POWERS ATTACK.
What confidential Information the army
war .college and the navy general board
may have gathered concerning the Inten
tions of any certain power or powers Is
not being revealed; but there sre certain
matters of general knowledge which are
known to have entered Into the study of
possibilities upon which the theory of a
two-power attack upon the Monroe doc
trine was based.
With the military problem agreed upon
and defined the two boards of strategists
were asked what In their opinion would
constitute adeuuute national defense.
Their answer was to build a two-power
navy and organize a federal army of
diffident site so that a portion of it
could he used In any southern country
against a foreign Invader without Impair-
ing the safety of the United State. Itself.
WHAT THE BOARD
ORIGINALLY RECOMMENDED.
To accomplish this the general board
then recommended for the navy:
1. Authorization In 1916-17 of 1300-
000000 In new ships as against a total
Investment In fighting equipment now
afloat during the last 30 years of $459-
6U6.611. 2. Construction of four battle cruisers
and four dreadnaught. under this pro-
gram. Z. Expan.lon of (hip building facilities
to admit of even heavier building pro-
grams in succeeding years.
For the army the war college recom-
mended :
1. Expenditure in 1916-17 of approxi-
mately .r00. 010.000 to produce a mobile
army under federal control which with
the reserve. would total 1500000 In six
years; '.00 00) fully trained regular and
the remainder continental..
2. Increasing by 50 per cent the equip-
ment ami personnel of the coast artillery
in four years at a total cost of J81.0u0.000.
3. Accumulation in four years of re-
serve ammunition and material worth
$104000000.
SECRETARIES CUT
DOWN THE PROGRAM.
In view of the enormous and what they
regarded as almost prohibitive cost of
these proposals Secretaries Daniels and
Secretary Garrison mapped out the
$1000000000 six-year program which
President Wilson has laid before con-
gress providing essentially a. follow.:
For the navy:
1. New construction within five year
costing $'i00.000.000 which will add six
battle cruisers and 10 dreadnaughts u the
fighting Hue bv 1921.
2. Construction during 1918-17 of two
battle cruisers and two dreadnaughts with
proportionate numbers of smaller craft.
3. Distribution of the remainder of the
building program through the next four
years at a rate of $100000000 a year.
For the army:
1. Expenditures within six year of ap-
proximately $600000000 to produce a total
mobile federal force of 1000000 men
HI 000 regular and 800000 continentals
this force to be in addition to the na-
tional guard now numbering 129000.
2. Expenditure of the full HI. 000000
recommended by the war college and
board of review for new coast defenses.
3. Expenditure of the full $104000000
recommended by the experts for reserve
material.

ator James P. Clarke of Arkansas will

day. Mr. MeCulloch has been chief Jus-
tice of the State supreme court since 1909

Nujol Will Help You Now
Later it may be useless
WHEN constipation has become so serious that an
. operation is needed NUJOL will do no good.
But if people recognized the seriousness of constipation
in its early stages there wouldn't be so many or these
surgical cases I
Nujol which is nothing but a very carefully refined white mineral
oil is effective in nine out of ten cases of occasional or periodic con-
stipation. It is also remarkably effective in cases of chronic consti-
pation. However such cases are not cured in a day or a week
especially when the intestinal tract has. been weakened by the
constant use of laxatives and cathartics.
Nujol is not a drug but a lubricant. It softens the btestinal con-
tents and facilitates the processes of normal evacuation.
In this way the relaxed bowel muscles are restored to proper tone
and permanent relief is obtained from a condition which is a con-
stant and ever-increasing menace to your health.
Write for booklet "The Rational Treatment of Constipation. " If
Nujol is not sold by your druggist we will send a pint bottle pre

west' transportation. "The American
ship owners can compete successfully
with any foreign ship owner If he Is just
given a chance. He can not win If he Is
aal'il to carry a handicap."
Mr. Hill spoke here with some personal
feeling. It I. not io lone nKO that a spe
cial and extra leaul permission was se-
cured from Washington for the tlreat
Northern Railroad company to send two
brand new steamers through the Panama
canal to the Pacific coast. By goinK
through the canal they carried a passen-
fer cargo and made a JfiO.OOO profit each.
'nltT the law they should have gone
around the Horn-the canal not being
open to railroad owned ships- and there
by earned a loss ot xnu.uuu each. Mean-
while any British or French or Itnllah
tramp might have made use of the Pan
ama canal that was denied the American
owned vessels. This was evidently one of
the incidents Mr. Hill had In mind whim
he spoke.
SUBSIDY QUESTION
STILL IN DOUBT.
"The American ship owner does not
ask for any favor not granted to the for-
eigner" he said emphatically. "But he
does think he Is entitled to the same fa-
vors the foreigner gets."
"Do you bplleve In a ship subsidy?"
"If the foreign ship Is a paid one. yes.
Not under other conditions. The Ameri-
can needs no more of a subsidy than is
needed to put him on even terms with tha
foielgn owner."
"How about government ownership."
