We cannot think far into a program of preparedness based upon universal military service without realizing that the greatest of all our national resources lies in the men and women, in the mothers and children. Preparedness based upon the program of universal service will reach every part of our life. Citizenship in such an industrial-democracy rrust be conditioned upon the exercise of patriotism. The nation will require Bervice from all alike, from the captain of industry, from the lowliest working man or the remotest farmer; from each according to his ability.

Onr (ireat TMitien. We must not only treat our brother man and sister woman as we wish them to treat us, but we must collectively endeavor to secure for them just treatment by others. We must try to abolish child labor; we must see that women in industry 1 are protected from inhuman treatment of any kind. We must secure not only for women and children, but for men, better conditions of life and labor, so that the head of the family will not be ground under foot by excessive toil or kept at a wage that will not permit hitn to bring up his family in a way that they should be brought up and to save his wife from prostrating drudgery. This does not mean that there shall be merely equr.l reward for entirely unequal service.

There must be special rewards for the energetic, for the hard-working, for the leaders with initiative, courage, enterprise and far-reaching grasp of business conditions. I' ask that we prepare, not because I wish war, but because with all my soul I desire to keep war far away from us; and only by faithful and earnest preparation of soul and body, by industrial organization, can we thus keep it afar off. The end we have in view is a high and fine national life based on an industrial efficiency which shall be accompanied by social and economic justice. A nation so organized will give to the children that grow up in its traditions and to the citizenship that live under itr flag a larger life. There will be legions of strong men and strong women, ready to work in its service during the years of peace; ready to fight for it in the event of war: and willing to die for it, if the need should arise, so that che nation itself may live.

SENATE HAS NAVAL BILL HOUSE PASSED; DELAYJEXPECTED National Conventions Will Interfere With Its Progress in Up-per Body of Congress. WASHINGTON. June 3. The Senate today holds the fate of the naval appropriation bill, -which the House passed yesterday. Its progress in the upper house wilt be slow for several weeks, while the political conventions are being held.

As It goes to the Senate, the bill carries a total of $289,900,000, larg-est appropriation for the navy' in the history of Congress, Chairman Tillman of the Senate Naval Committee announced today that he would lead a fight in the Senate to change the naval appropriation bill so as to provide for six battle cruisers r.nd two dreadnoughts, instead of five battle cruisers and no battleships, as in the bill passed by the House yesterday. The measure was not materially changed as reported from committee and carries a building program for the coming year of five battle cruisers, four scout cruisers, 10 destroyers, 50 submarines and 130 aeroplanes: provides for a Government armor plate plant to cost Jll.OOO.QOO. enlargement of the navy yards at Norfolk, Philadelphia. Puget bound and Boston, where battleships are to be constructed at a cost of and appropriates $2,700,000 for increasing the navy's personnel to The bill passed by a vote of 358 to i. Representatives Browning of New Jersey and Graham of Pennsylvania, Republicans; Ransdall, California, FroM-bittonist, and London, New York, Socialist, cast the only votes in the negative.

Republican leaders, aided by 25 Democrats, sought ineffectually to send the bill back to committee with Instructions to add two battleships, two scout cruisers and 10 destroyers. They are prepared, however to carry their fight to the Senate, with a view, if possible, of enlargins the building program by fhe addition of at Ifrnst two battleships. With passage of the bill, the House completed the. major portion 'of its hare in the preparedness program, of the three bills carrying the important provisions of the program the army, naval and fortifications measures only the last-named remains to be considered. It probably will be taken up In the House after the national conventions, while the Senate is debating the naval bill.

ficers and tens of thousands of men can be trained and developed In their knowledge of seamanship. Having Becured the development of a merchant marine, we must Immediately work out a plan by which American officers and American men in the merchant service can be enrolled as members of the naval reserve. Flaaaeinir Modern War. Modern war requires financing on a gigantic To procure such loans In an orderly way and to prevent shock and a breakdown of ordinary business relations requires the organized co-operation of tha entire banking structure. In the panic of 1907, the greatest financier of New York City was by the common consent of the bankers given a position that elevated him above his functions as a private banker and made him for a brief period a great servant of the public In averting financial disaster.

Bankers in a similar way during the last two years in London, in Berlin, in Paris, in Vienna, have been the constant counselors and advisers of the statesmen. In every warring country the bankers assumed a semi-public position to give the whole power of their Institutions to the service of the respective nations. Through their co-operation loans have been absorbed with an ease and in amounts that five years ago would have been deemed entirely impossible. It was a demonstration of what tremendous forces can be released when a nation of fifty of a hundred millions mobilizes and organizes its energies. Thus vast reserves of human power are being sounded and brought into national use.

It is a mere truism to say that in times of peace this same financial power can be used for productive ends that will bring greater material prosperity to all. Human Elemant Paramount. The most important element of all in industrial preparedness is the human element. The men and women, workers on our farms and in our factories, ultimately determine the productive power of the nation. Modern military power depends directly upon industrial energy.

Every accident that Incapacitates a man wholly or in part is a drain upon national energy. Accident prevention is a part of preparedness. Every man whose health is impaired and who is unable to do his full share tends to become a burden on his fellows; he weakens the nation. We must organize an industrial system which will enable us to join hands in a collective way and fight disease and accident more efficiently than we can do as individuals. Properly organized insurance will enable the worker to accumulate in the days of health' and from the surplus earnings of vigorous youth against the vicissitudes of sickness, accident and old age.

As a nation we must cease relying upon the reckless exploitation of our natural resources and build up the labor power of our own people. We must conserve the gifts that nature gave us and endeavor to live by the values created rlne under the flag of the nation is Immediately subject to call as auxiliary to the naval forces. Japan, for example, has Btepped In when American shipping was driven off the Pacific and has kept up transportation between the Orient and our Western coast by heavy governmental subsidies, amounting to as much as for a single trip from America to the Orient. In return for this subsidy and other governmental aid Bhe has required that Japanese goods and Japanese needs be given the preference In the service rendered. Her nerchants desiring to export from Japan and China leceived certain advantages over American merchants.

The people of the United States cannot expect that other Governments will forego their self-interests and look out for the needs of the United States which we ourselves have failed to protect. They will not show their charity to America, the wealthiest nation of the world, in that way. The United States exports bulky products, like wheat, the metals, cotton, lumber, machinery, in which the freight is an important item in the cost of delivery. High freights are. deducted from ayir national incorra in the export markets of the world.

Lesson of Freight. When the freight on wheat from New York to Liverpool increases from 6 cents to 50 cents, when the freight on cotton from American ports to Europe increases from 1-3 cent to 3 cents a pound, every farmer and cotton grower is adversely affected. If the boats of foreign nations are fully occupied in carrying the foreign trade of their home countries and cargo space Is not available to transport American manufactures, such as sewing machines, reapers, plows and automobiles, from our American ports to South America, these industries are checked and the opportunity to work profitably is cut off from masses of our workingmen. We must have a merchant marine proportionate to the transportation needs and proportionate to the navy of our country. England has commandeered 3100 merchant ships as a naval auxiliary during the present war.

When the American battleship squadron made its trip around the world, that trip was possible only because our naval forces were aided by a fleet twice as numerous, made up chiefly of various foreign merchant ships. Sea navigation is an art that requires experience and long Service Our merchant fleet must build up a JO 't TTIHIE TURKISH CIGARETTE whose fame has been flashed beyond the seas.
