NEW FORTS ARE PROPOSED Goal Is Navy Headed by 43 Dreaa- noughts and Super-Battle Cruis ers and Trained Army of 1,200,000 Men, All Told. WASHINGTON. Oct. 18. A National programme that probably means an ex penditure on the Army and Navy of upwards of a billion dollars In the next six years will be laid before the people by President WIlHon November 4. when he goes to New Tork to make his first public address since the scope of the policy upon .which . his Admin istration has embarked became known. The President will speak before the Manhattan Club of New Tork on Na tional defense and the reasons which have impelled him to approve plans to about double the Navy and quadruple the trained , fighting , forces ashore within a few years. Great Expenditure Expected. With the estimates of the War and Navy Departments submitted for th coming year, the breadth of the Ad ministration's policy as to prepared ness Is being: realized. It-shapes in totals as follows: Navy, for new ships and Increased personnel in five years, $500,000,000. Army, for reserve, material (arms and ammunition) within four , years, J105.000.000. , For new coast defenses and modern. ixation of old forts within four years, $1,000,000. For the new continental -army and the proposed Increase in the regular Army, $26,000,000. (This amount prob ably will be a continuing- and if any thing increasing appropriation through the first six in period, which would make the total expenditure at that time, $156,000,000). Grand Total Is S42,0OO,0OO. The grand total expenditure thus actually planned would be JS42.OO0.00O. According to plans laid out by ex perts of the Navy and War Depart ments, .these expenditures would pro duce by 1925, a first line of dread noughts and battle cruisers numbering 43; a fleet of coast defense submarines that would fringe the Atlantic and Pa cific Coasts with an almost solid line of defense against attack; a fleet of nearly 175 destroyers and squadrons of huge sea-going submarines to operate with the battle squadrons at great dis tance from shore. For the Army there would be at the end of six years a trained force of 1.210.000 men, including a regular Army of 140,000 and the proposed conti nental" army and reserves; a ring of fully-manned coast defenses, equipped with the largest and most powerful guns yet built and a vast reserve of field guns, machine guns, howitzers and big gun ammunition. Munitions Are AtMnred. In addition, the enormously increased capacity of privute munition plants would give assurances of ample sup plies of small arms and field gun am munition. m A definite step toward enlarging the Navy was taken today when contracts were awarded for 22 of the fighting craft authorized by the last Congress. They are six big cruiser destroyers, 30 knot boats each, to carry 12 torpedo tubes, four four-inch guns and two three-inch anti-aircraft guns, and 16 coast-defense submarines, each displac ing more than 550 tons, and each equipped with a. three-inch disappear ing rlflo for surface fighting. The day set a new record for the department In the number of contracts awarded. VOrt to Be nnilt. Neither War nor Navy Department estimates for tho coming year have been made public, as yet, in detail. It was learned today, however, that of the $72,000,000 increase over last year's bill to be asked by the War Department, $4 6,000,000 would go toward reserve material and coast defense work, the remaining $26,000,000 to be used in building up the new- armies, regular and continental. Part of this $16,000. 000 would go into building, and arming the new forts which will guard the en trance to Chesapeake Bay. It is proposed to spend more of the money in building new forts to guard New York, San Francisco and other great harbors from attack. Gigantic 16-irwh rifles Will be mounted In all these defenses of the first-class, where enemy craft with modern guns would be dangerous from great distance. Another expenditure contemplated is for fitting the present 12 and 14-inch rifles with carriages that will give them greater range. Much already has been accomplished in that way and the work will be carried on until every fort is modernized. Smaller Ghi to Remain. No 16-inch rifles will be Installed In place of smaller guns, however. It Is said, because to make all the changes in magazines, hoists machinery and the like would be more expensive and less iConcluded on Face g. Column 2.)

Quiet Fortitude. -BY JAMES O'DONNELL'1 BENNETT. (War correspondent of the Chicago Tribune. Copyrizht, 1915. by the Chicago Tribune. Published by arrangement.) SOCHACZEW, Russia. Sept. 15. All day long I have been keeping pace with the slow-moving carts of the returning refugees. There are miles of them on the wide highways. I suppose you could say that the whole countryside for 40 miles west of Warsaw and 100 miles to the east is streaming witn them. From Lqwicz to Brest-Litowsfc and that is more than 100 miles there is not a main road that you could ride along for half an. hour without seeing the white wagon hoods rocking and swaying on the anxious homeward way. Peasants Struggle Back. An extra wheel or two is lushed to the back of each wagon and usually the driver has not beeu out many hours before he is right glad to have it. If a peasant can afford it he takes an ex tra horse along, too. and sometimes he needs it desperately, for once in a while we see lying by the roadside a dead horse .that tho poor farmer had to cut from the traces. , As soon as the fighting rolls forward and all except thj londsturm troops left to guard raitroads-and bridges are out of a region, the peasants come straggling home. And they not only do that, but they also manage to keep cheerful and civil. Since August a year ago soldiers have taught me many a humbling lesson on doing a day's work quietly and not looking forward to a meal at a fixed hour, as if it were something the world, were obliged to bring one on a tray. and not whining if in the course of mischance or confusion no meal at all is to be had. Children Are Patient, 'loo. But I believe the refugees of these war days tea h one even more. When darkness began to fall this evening tney urew tneir wagons a little off the road and the women, who were stiff with cold and weariness, swung them selves down from the mountains of household goods on which they had been riding all day and the men who had been driving since dawn went methodically about unhitching their tired beasts.

SIR EDWARD CARSON RESIGNS PORTFOLIO Act Is First Break in British Cabinet. , NEAR EAST-rlS CAUSE Attorney-General Disapproves Policy in Balkans. GOVERNMENT FACES FIGHT Withdrawal of Clster Leader, Who Opposes Plan or Confiding Policy to Small "Inner Cabinet," May Precipitate Lively Debates. LONDON, Oct. IS. nSir Edward Car son, Attorney-General, has resigned from the British Cabinet. The resignation of Sir Edward, the first open manifestation cf the diver gence of views known to exist among the Ministers, is the result, according to an authoritative statement, not of the controversy over conscription, but of the condition of affairs in the Near East. Sir Edward himself, eo far. has mado no personal explanation of his reasons for resigning, but it is understood that he disapproved of the policy - which is being followed in the Balkans and tho method of confiding the whole national policy to a small "inner cabinet." Kxrltlnic Debates Expected. It is expected that there will be ex citing debates in the House of Com mons this week, as severe attacks on the government are planned by mem bers of the House in connection witn the general military policy, especially in the Near East. Sir Edward, prior to the outbreak of -the war, was the leader of the movement against home rule for Ire land, which for a timer threatened civil war-In Ulster County.; At that time he was the Conservative member of Parliament for Dublin University, and gained great notoriety for his speech attacking the government, and the sympathizers of home rule and threat ening, in case the King signed th home-rule bill, to aid in setting up a provisional government in Ulster. Appointment Cause of Cemure. He was the first to sign the covenant of resistance to home rule, and led the Ulsterites in the formation of the Ulster volunteers. Vhen the present coalition govern ment was framed last May the portfolio of Attorney-General was given to Sir Edward. Some of the English news papers expressed the view that this ap pointment was a mistake In view of his previous antagonism to the govern ment. The most notable cases with which Sir Edward has had to deal' since his incumbency of the Attorney-Generalship were the Board of Trade's Inquiry into the sinking of the Lusitania and the proceedings before the prize court 'Concluded on Page o. Column 2.) ijl j Monday's War Mo?es THE reports that the allies have oc cupied Strumnitza and landed at Enos. which was recently transferred from Turkish to Bulgarian rule,- has caused a more optimistic feeling through the allied countries. As to the progress of the near eastern campaign, it Is known from both Serbian and German accounts that Field Marshal von Mackensen's army is meeting with greater resist ance than was expected and. although it is probable that the Serbians event ually must fall back on stronger strategical positions In the north, the fact that the allies are bringing heavy forces against the Bulgarians, and so placing them that the Bulgarians will be compelled to divide their armies, gives hope here that the Germans may be balked in their latest attempt to reach the sea and bring assistance to the Turks. All along the Serbians and their Montenegrin neighbors, who also are being attacked, are offering stubborn resistance to both Austro-Germans and Bulgarians, and while they have given up a number of towns and positions, they have not reached the line on which they expect to make their stand. The Bulgarians, so far as can be learned, have made progress only in the Zlotokopski Valley, near the river Morava, north ft the town of Vranya, where they blew up a bridge. There is no confirmation, however, of the report that they cut the railway in this district, the bridge which they de stroyed being a wooden one near the railway. The Bulgarian force which penetrated the valley Is not a large one. On the other hand, it Is pointed out. the capture of Strumnitza is of real strategetlc value, as its occupation per mits the defense oft he southern end of the railway and compels the Bul garians to keep a force there. Enos, too, is of value,, as although not a good landing place, its occupation threatens Dedeagachw hich has a great harbor and is fortified and mined. The ci vilian population has already left Dedeagach. wh.ch is entirely In the hands of the military, under German officers. The Italians, according to the latest reports, will not send a contingent to the Balkans, but co-operation of their navy in the Aegaen where an allied fleet has already -gathered, is -looked for. The point at which the Russians will strike has not yet been disclosed. the expectation Is. however, that the allies have a surprise tor the central powers and that steps are being taken to bring Turkey to her knees before assistance can reach her. There has been plenty of heavy fight ing on both the eastern and western fronts, but in neither case has either side attempted a general offensive. The Germans are still making a great effort between Riga and Dvinsk and have met with some minor successes. but thence to the Roumanian border, wherever there has been any fighting it Is the Russians who are attacking, and they, too, claim some gains. Much the same conditions prevail on the western front. The British have been attacking east of Vermelles, according to the Berlin report, while the Germans attacked the French near Souchez and the French took the of fensive in Champagne, Lorraine and Vosges. .None of these attempts is making any marked alterations in the positions of the armies.

TILTS ENLIVEN PROCEEDINGS Lone Cook, Official. Sacrifice, With $5 Reduction. DIECK BUDGET DUE TODAY Promised Cut in AVorkcrs of Water Bureau Not Apparent, but Mcu Are Switched Around In Way That Puzzles Committee. The antl-saiary-Increase programme which has been carried out faithfully to date by the Council sitting as budget committee, was smashed to smither eens yesterday when Commissioner Daly deserted his compatriots Baker and Bigelow and voted for Increases in his own department. A number of salary increases were allowed In Mr. Daly's water bureau by vote of Mr. Daly, Mayor Albee and Commissioner Dleck. Up to this time Mr. Daly had stood with Mr. Baker and Mr. Bigelow against salary increases in other de partments. Seven pump engineers were raised from $95 a month to $100 a month and Increases were granted various others, including one or two of the 21 inspec tors, clerks and mechanics. One pump engineer was cut out on Mr. Daly's motion and the amount saved from this and $420 in addition was shifted over as Increased salary to the remaining seven. One Cook Decreased. One lone cook suffered a salary de crease the first cut of this kind so far made by the budget committee. He was getting a salary of $65 a month and was trimmed to $60 a month. At the outset it looked as though many men were to be cut out of the water bureau forces, but It was found after looking Into the figures that there were no reductions from the present staff. Classifications and titles of present employes were shifted about and interwoven in -arious ways with salary Increases, so that in summing up the whole budget the number of employes remained about the same. Explanation Is Hequlred. "It's like the traveling man's suit of clothes." said Mayor Albee. "It doesn't show in the expense account, but it !s there just the same. Mr. Daly was asked to explain the apparent mlxup, and after he showed how the changes had been made he was asked to send his budget for employes back -for re vision, showing exactly the changes. Clerks were put to the task of straight ening the budget out preparatory to Its being reconsidered today. Commissioner Baker hurled a couple of broadsides at the plan of sending out bills to flat-rate water users. "The flat-rate users know when their bills are due and they know what the amount is, don't they?" risked Mr. Baker. Inspectors to Be Discussed. "It Is economy," said Mr. Daly. "You can't have economy by making the con sumers come In and pay their bills be cause it Involves much clerical work." Mr. Baker also questioned the need of so many water inspectors. These Items of bills and inspectors Drobably will be the subject of more discussion at today's meeting. The salary Increase proposition came up at the start when increases were provided in the budget for some of the clerks and inspectors. "Isn't it just as bad for us to Increase salaries in this bureau as in the others?" asked Commissioner Baker. Work Is Praised. "You will find that the men In the water bureau have accomplished a great deal and they are entitled to con sideration." said Mr. Daly. 'It seems to me that the same thing is true of other bureaus." said Mr. Baker. "Let's wait until next year and then we can treat them all alike," suggested Mr. Bigelow. "It's a hard proposition to explain to the people in other departments when their increases are refused." said Mr. Baker. Mr. Bigelow made a motion that the increase be denied. The motion failed. Mayor Albee and Commissioners Dieck and Daly voted against the motion and Commissioners Baker and Bigelow for it. Mr. Baker Is Satirical. 'Nothing left for us, Bigelow, but to sit around and look wise. I guess," said Commissioner Baker after this action had been taken. Commissioner Dieck raised a question about Mr. Daly continuing the services of two engineers one at $200 a month and another at $250 a -month. These men originally were appointed for spe cial work. These men," said Mr. Daly, "are doing Investigating in the Bull Run re serve and have charge of considerable construction. They are gathering figures for use if the city ever has to fight before Congress to keep the Federal Government from taking away some of the reserve." "Are there any strings on the reser vation?" asked Mr. Baker. 'Thi;e is much contention between the cjay and Fome of the lumber inter- tConlinued on Fait ti. Column 1. ron 103.01
