"WASHINGTON. Feb. 24. While the
House military committee was taking
steps today toward getting its bill for
' increasing the regular Army and Fed
r eralizing the National Guard before
' the House within ten days, the naval
committee was being Informed by Ad
, miral Cameron McR. Winslow that the
entire Pacific fleet, which he oom-
mands. might be an easy victim for a
. single good enemy battleship.
' Admiral Winslow made .the state
.' ment smilingly. Pressed by Jiepresen
tative Stephens, of California, for an
' oxact description of .the condition of
tho ships under his command, he said
. the focce was wholly inadequate, even
- with all its reserves called out, to
meet any probable enemy In tho Pa-
cific.
What plans the Navy Department had
' for meeting an emergency there or in
i the Atlantic, however, he said, were
'. matters of strategy which he did not
' care to reveal except in confidential
. cession.
Many Questions Pending.
Representative Stephens said that
this discussion should be postponed, but
' said he had many questions still to ask
regarding the Pacific fleet. He will
pursue the subject tomorrow.
The military committee is making
rapid progress in considering the bill
Chairman Hay was authorized to frame
and which now has been printed confi
dentially. It is expected this draft will be made
public this week and that it will be
time next week. It is hoped to have its MRS. AMANDA HART BURIED

The committee is sitting all day at
its task and perfecting the measure,
and it was suggested today that night
sessions might be started to hasten the
work.
Coast Defenses Secret.
Further light on the "War Depart
ment's plan for additional coast de
fense also was given today, when
testimony of Brigadier-General Will
iam Crozier, chief of Army ordnance,
before the fortifications committee, be
came available. The committee has had
'no open hearings. While General Cro
zier told the military committee of both
houses the substance of his recommen
dations, his statements before the for
'tifications committee amplify his posi
tion somewhat.
- The heaviest fortifications. General
Crozier said, would be placed at the

Funeral Services Arc Held for In
dependence "Woman.
INDEPENDENCE. Or.. Feb. 24.
(Special.) The funeral services of Mrs.
Amanda Hart were held in this city
Tuesday from the Christian Church.
Mrs. Hart was born in 1835 in Meigs
County, Ohio, and with her parents
moved, to Iowa in 1844. In 1856 she
was married to W. G. Hart and In 1879
they came to Oregon, living at Inde
pendence and Salt Creek until her
death.
The children who survive her are:
Mrs. Mary Roberts, Salt Creek; Mrs.
Melvin Sloper, Salem, Or.: T. W. Hart,
Independence, and Ezra Hart, of Salt
Creek.
to fortify them to prevent that opera
tion, notwithstanding that they are not
places where inadmissible damage can
be done by the guns of a fleet."
At other points, such as Rockaway
Beach. New York and San Francisco,
he said. 16-inch guns mounted in tur
rets would be added to the batteries.
Admiral Winslow told the naval com
mittee that gunnery on American ships
started on the down-grade soon after
it had been brought to its most effi
cient point during President Roose
velt's incumbency.
Navy Not Moderately Kit.
"Just lately." he added, "the depart
ment began working out a new system
of finding the faults with our gunnery.
In my opinion, however, if we had a
general staff, our efficiency would
never have gone down."
It would take 50 years, he believed,
to bring the fleet to its possible stand
ard of efficiency, and in answer to a
" question he said he did not believe the
Navy now to be even moderately effi
cient. He believed no ship should be placed
'. in reserve, but that all should be kept
constantly in commission and fully
.manned, in order that sufficient men
'might be trained.
. Asked what authority he would take
from tho Secretary and lodge in the
' staff, he said he would have the entire
military side of the service absolutely
under the staff.
The Navy War College. Admiral
Winslow said, was a valuable adjunct,
-and other nations had followed the
-American lead in establishing such in
stitutions. i Enactment of laws to permit promo
tion by selection, as recommended by
"the Navy Department, also was urged
by the Admiral. Such a law was vital
ly necessary, he said, to bring young,
vigorous men to flag command.

"country. Americanism, they say. is
Rood party doctrine and it makes no
difference whether it is enunciated by
New York or New Mexico, for Republi
cans must follow where it leads.
Mr. Root is intense in his American
Ism. His friends say that he holds
that Colonel Roosevelt is one man in
the country who has been right in his
Americanism ever since the outbreak
of the war and who has not been afraid
to voice his views.
Washington Republicans and Pro
gressives who believe that Mr. Root be
fore long will make this pronounce
ment in favor of Colonel Roosevelt say
that the intensity of Mr. Root's feeling
on the one subject of the weakness and
"wabbliness" of the foreign policy of
the United States is the thing that has
been moving him gradually to the point
of support of the men from whom he

Medford Choral Society Forms.
MEDFORD. Or.. Feb. 24. (Special.)
The Medford Choral Society, to in
crease interest in better music and pro
vide a singing organization which will
give public concerts throughout the
season, was formed Tuesday night at
a mass meeting. S. Vilas Beckwlth,
manager of the Rogue River Fruit and
Produce Association, was elected presi
dent.
NEW YORK. Feb. 24. Suffragists
of New York State, at the first of a
series of state conferences under the
ausnices of the American Woman Suf
frage Association, considered here to
day steps which could be taken to
induce the Democrats and Republicans
to insert in their National platform
planks pledging support of a pro
Dosed Federal constitutional amend
ment granting the vote to women. The
aim of the conferences, the second of
which will be held in Boston tomor
row, is a concerted Nation-wide appeal
to Congress to adopt the amendment.
Soeakin'cr of the fight to be made
before the conventions, Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Catt, National president, said
she was almost ready to nope tor
combination between the Republicans
and Progressives, because the latter
party is pledged to suffrage. The ma
ture of the appeal to be made to the
Democrats at St. Louis, she said, was
still a secret, but she confided that
one feature would be a "walkless pa
rade."
One of the faults of the last cam
paign in New York, Mrs. Catt de
clared, was the sense of impending de
feat by some of the women.
"There were Just enough or you
women," she said, "who felt that way
and who resignedly went to mountain
or seashore, to bridge parties or dances,
instead of fighting, to throw the bal
ance the other way."
State leaders, she said; had not been
giving the National movement suffi
cient support.
Mrs. Alice Duer Miller, speaKing or
the efforts to convert Congressmen to
the cause, said:
The very men who voted in Wash
ington against suffrage because of the
fear of sacrificing the home found it
expedient to vote negatively on the
child-labor proposition. These men de
clined to. appropriate 129.000 for a
child-labor inquiry, but they voted
$600,000 for the preservation of fish
and game."

Hood's Sarsanarilla, the Itcliable Tonic
Medicine. Builds Up.
The reason why you feel so tired all
the time at this season is that your
blood is impure and impoverished. It
lacks vitality. It is not the rich red
blood that gives life to the whole body,
perfects digestion and enables all the
organs to perform their functions as
they should.
Get Hood s Sarsaparilla from any
druggist. It will make you feel better,
look better, eat and sleep better. It is
the old reliable tried and true all-the-
year-round blood purifier and enricher,
tonio and appetizer. It revitalizes the
blood, and is especially useful in build
ing up the debilitated and run-down.
Hood s Sarsaparilla is helping thou
sands at this time of year. Let it help
you. Get a bottle today and begin tak-
ng it at once. Be sure and get Hood s.
