TRANSI
T BOARD
ACTSTO COMPLETE
14TH ST. SUBWAY
Orders Ten Contracts Read-
vertised After Estimate
Board Rejected Them.
At n formal inicthiB of thfc TranMt
Commission to-day, It was unani
mously decided Immediately to read
vertlso tho ten contradtn for tho com
pletion of tho 14th Street. Knstcrn
subway which tho Hoard of Kstlmato
rejected yesterday nnd returned to
the. commission with a view to ob
taining current market prices.
The ten contracts amount to about
$200,000 and uro for track work, tics,
station finish, rails nnd kindred ma
terials. It will require a week to re
print tho advertisement, two weeks
more to advertise and the bids will not
bo received until late In May. After
tho bids are tabulated, tho contracts
will be let to tho lowest bidder and
sent back to tho board ot Estimate
for the second tlmo In twelve months
for Its approval. Tho advertisement
will amount to a loss of about $60,000
In Interest charges on tho city's In-
vestment of $17,000,000 In tho Hth
Street route Whether or not the
now bids wilt be sufficiently low to
offset tho loss in Interest charges re
mains to bo seen.
Commissioner Harkness lir moving
to rcadvortloe the contracts said:
"I movo that counsel bo directed to
prepare for readvertlSemeut tho con
tracts' returned by tho Board of Esti
mate Tho Board of Estimate has
Anally been forced to act. I believe
It'hos acted unwisely. Nevertheless,
action Is what Is wanted. If the
Board, of Estlmnto insists on further
delay In subway construction to savo
a few dollars by rcndvertlsing and
lose many dollars In Interest charges,
tho responsibility belongs to it. Our
proper course seems to mo to bo
plain promptly1 to readvortlso theso
contracts, so as to removo any fur
ther opportunity for quibbling, and
then force tho Board of Estimate to
act offlnnatlvoly instead of nega
tively."
Chairman McAneny sold that In all
fairness to the1 residents of the East
ern District of Brooklyn and particu
larly those who dally crowd the Canal
Street subway station, tho Immediate
thing to do Is lo hasten In every pos
sible way completion of the work.
"The Hoard of E3tlmuto lias held up
theso contracts for many months
without a word of explanation," he
suld. "Tho statement mado yester
day by the Mayor and the Comptroller
to tho effect that these contracts wero
rojectdd last August Is amuzliiR. The
sustention that rcndvcrtlHlnir theso.
contracts had anything to do with tne
delay In tho Board of Eat mute Is an
tleventh-hoUr after-thought. It is
extremely unlikely thut tho Board of
Estlmute will tnko either the risk
or tho responsibility for delaying these
contracts whon resubmitted. The wise
thing for this commission to do Is to
act Immediately in tho public in
terest."
When It wns drawn to Chairman
M6Aneny's uttcntlon that tho physi
cal contracts nre still In the posses
sion of the Hoard of Estimuto, he cukl:
'It the board had been disposed to
alter Us action at any time, a mcro
resolution, calling the contractu from
tho files would huvo been Bumclent."

pointed former Supremo Court Justice

SAYS PERSHING, IF
Weeks Also Pleads for Armv
Adequate for Safety of
the Nation.
WASHINGTON, April 25. The
United States, "with adequate military
preparations and under strong leader
ship," could havo prevented thft oc-
cunvnee of the World War, Gen,
Pershing declared to-day, In testify
Ing beforo tho Senate Military Com
mlttco In behalf of the War De
partment's plea for an Increase in the
military establishment over that' pro
posed by the House.
"There Is rio doubt." Gen. Pershing
said, "but that Uie Civil War might
havo been prevented had the country
been equipped with an army of rea
sonable slzo ready for Immediate use.
A measure ot preparedness such as
contemplated under tho law ot 1920
would probably have kept us out of
the World War. At least It would
have saved Us tho humiliation of de
pending upon the Alllcsto hold back
the enemy for more than a year bo-
fore we were even partially prepared
"As a matter of fact, wltb adequate
military preparation, there can be llt
tlo question that the United States,
under strong leadership, could have
prevented the World War altogether."
Gen. Pershing advocated a "Regu
lar Army In keeping with our posi
tion among the nations" und de
elated that a regular establishment of
150,000 men and 18,000 ofllcero was
"barely of sufficient strength" to
meet minor emergencies, garrison
overseas possessions and provide
mlnlmrun of instruction for citizen
forces.
"This Is only the part of common
senso and ordinary precaution," Gen
Pershing added. "World conditions
to-day aro not reassuring. Hnman
nature has not "changed and the his
tory of nations is one of strife. Our
own experience should have taught
us thut the existence of envy, jcal
ousy and hatred can no mora bo
ignored among nations than among
Individuals. The friends of to-day
are often the enemies of to-morrow.'
The 115,000 enlisted strength fixed
by the Army BUI passed by the House
Is "below the solo minimum require
mcnta" of ,tho Nation, Secretary
Weeks tola tne uommittee in urg

on tho worst ratnpngo In his history.
Ono flood record nfter another Is hom

from all over tho United States, is
working frantically, strengthening the
weak links In the levees thnt protect

with man. There havo been some
breaks; hut so far not of serious
extent. ;
Just below Hickman, tho Rcelfoot
levep, protecting the game preserves
known as Reelfoot Lake, sustained the
full force ot tho flobd and some sec
tions were washed over. Near Tunica.
Miss., a Vagary of tho river diverted
the current squarely against tho
econda'ry bank designed to protect
tho main levee. Tho old earthwork
gave way and tho current was eating
into tho main lovep when discovered.
Hundreds of Negro farm hands, each
1th a 'board lashed about his waist
to give him a chance If thrown into
tho swirling waters, were set to
building a new dlko to send tho water
back into tho river bed. Tho engineers
to-day ' believed they would prevent
serious damage.
In Arkansas a neck of land pro
tected "by a circular levee was com
pletely' flooded, but the people of the
dlstr!6t were saved. Still further
south, at Lucca, the le-ee guard re
ported the bank weakening. Thou
sands of sand bags, rushed toy special

of days' the levee was saVed.
At Scott, In Bolivar County, Mis
