Gardner Thinks Anybody
Could Whip Uncle Sam Now
Massachusetts Congressman Blames Carnegie's Peace
Crusade for Our Military Weakness
Asks an Inquiry.
KAYS GOD OF JJATTLKS
Washinuton, Oct IB A startling state
ment that the United States Is totally un
prepared for war and that It Is high time
that tho American peoplo are advised of
the facts was made to-day by Representa
tive Gardner of Massachusetts, one of tho
Republican lenders of tho House. He de
nounced tho peace propaganda furthered
by Andrew Carnegie and expressed tho
hope that the allies would deifcat Germany
In the pending Huropean war.
Mr. Clardner offered n resolution pro
posing the creation of n national security
commission to Inqulro "Into tho question
of tho preparedness of the United Statos
for war, defensive or offensive."
"I have Introduced this resolution to In
vestigate tho military status of tho United
States because I know that a public
searchlight will open the eyes of Ameri
can's to a situation whlih la being con
cealed from them," said Representative
Gardner. "The United States Is totally
unprepared for wnr, defensive or offensive,
against a real power.
"In my opinion tho effect of the vast
sums of money spent by Mr. Carnegie In
his peace propaganda has been to blind
Americana to tho fact that our national
security from a military point of view la
undermined.
All 1'enr Publicity.
"Nearly every army and navy officer to
whom I havo spoken tells mo the same
story of Inadequate security. I have yet
to speak to a single member of either tho
Committee on Navnl Affairs or the Com
mittee on Military Affairs In whoso Judg
ment I hnvo confidence who does not in
private make exactly tho same admission.
Yet nil these gentlemen seem to consider
It their duty to refrain from making any
public statement.
"We are the most prosperous nation on
earth and to the south of us lies the won
derful South American continent which
we have closed to European colonisa
tion by tho Monroe Doctrine. I simply
cannot understand how any Intelligent
student of history can fall to see that
wo nro Impotent to defend oursolves and
to enforce the Monroe Doctrine by moral
suasion and financial might alone.
"Tim time has not yet come when tho
I'tilted States can afford to allow thn
mat Hal spirit of her sons to be destroyed,
and all the Carnegie millions In tho world
will not silence tho-e of us who believe
that bullets cannot bo stopped with bom
bast nor powder vanquished by platitudes.
"It Is true that In respect to tho pres.
ent European war my views nro not
those of a neutral. I am entirely con
vinced that the German came Is unholy
anil moreover n menace to the principled
of democracy. Furthermore I bellevo that
the (iud of battles will visit defeat upon

Tho Gardner resolution provides for tho
creation of a commission to consist of

much comment amonr members of all

Only once before has a membor of the
House given expression to his sympathies
since President Wilson trauod his procla

Representative Ilartholdt of Missouri de
clared that Information hnd come Into
his possession that munitions of war were
being ehlppod from this country to the
allies and that It was tho duty of the.
Government to prevent audi ahltiments.
I Mr. Ilartholdt, who Is n native of Ger
many, made It plain that he was praying
for the success of tho Kaiser's army.
President Wilson's attention was di
rected to-day to tho Gardner rrsolutlon.
Tho President made It apparent that In
hla opinion tho conclusions of a com
I mission auch as Is proposed would bo

point of view of thoso composing such a

Chairman Hay of tho House Committee

that no action would be taken on the

United fltates District Court smile yes
terday at the trial of Col. Rill, James
J, Farmer and Sain Wartlcld for mall

Col. Rlir communications were live
liest when describing his experiences with
Franklin II. Munron of Adams, Mass.
Mr. Mutisou la a lawyer who has a
library. Ho says that Col. Rill II rut vis
ited him In 1909, calling ono afternoon
and staying three hours without saying a
word about do luxo volumes. Then at
5 o'clock tho Colonel and Munson
tho lawyer eays, mndo a deal by which
Munson was to buy twenty-eight vol
umes at $100 a volume ten of Plutnich
and eighteen called the "Versailles His
torical Series." In turn, Col. Rill, for
thn Anglo-American Authors Association
(Jnmes .1. Farmer's corporato master
piece), was to buy for 15,600 a Shake
spearo In Munson'a llbraty.
Stopped I'nyment on I'hrcU,
.Munson handed over a check for $100,
but stopped payment on it early tho next
day because he felt tilings might not bo
right. Col. Rill's lcttem tell tho sequel.
Tho first la dated Juno 10, 1909, and w.is
written "on train to Plttslleld for more."
Cul. UUI says:
"FmKVD Jtui This Is gilt edged, be

like to talk to about tho sacredness of

with me. He. knows all nUiut Munson
and said he would pay all of It cuiti
sooner than be cxposivi os a party to
any auch a deal as Is this of hlu with
me."
Romeo Nathan, whom Col. Rill men
tions, la on of two defendants who
have pl"dapd guilty to fraud charges.
The Colonel wroti' to Friend Jim Farmer
again four days later from PlttatleM
saying:
"Dkar Ott Fat Hi-onp I'At,: The victim

Ho wants part of my $10,000 check, hut I

"H Is truly nn big sucker Cannot

Hope lo Save the Ship.
Tho United Fruit olllrials said last night
that they believed the Metnpan would be
saved. She was awash forward, but all
Iut after deck and superstructure was
clear. Water had entered only tho for
ward compartment, her bulkheads aft
keeping the sea out. Her stern Is so high
out of the water that her propeller Is
plnlnb visible.
None of tho baggage of the passengers,
It Is said, has been damaged Some of tt

The Iowan was sllxhtly damaged about
ithe bow, her plates dented nnd her stem
twisted a bit. She wns not hurt below
tho watrr line. She anchored for the
night off tho Hook and will come up this
morning for a survey.
The Metapan Is 0110 of tho finest of the I
"Great White Fleet" ships. She wns built
nt Ili.lf.iHt five yeurs ago, measures 3,121
Mim and Is 380 feet long. Sho hailed
originally from Oluegnw, hut slncn coming
under Amrrlcan registry New York has

Channel was her first from the South

TRIED TO AVOID CRASH.

Some of the officers who wero on deck
and on tho Melapan's bridge when tho
Iowan bun. down on her described vividly
tin. effort!! of tho pilot and Capt. S.inoi
to avoid the crash and tho rapid work
of the officers nnd crow in Kniting n,0
boats overside and the paa.cngcrs into
them.
"It wns awful," euld one officer, "to
w.V.ch that boat shoot out of the fog and
hear down on us It was very thick with
a heavy rain, but we sighted her whuti
she wns between 200 nnd 300 yards away.
Several blasts were blown on our whlstlo
to wain the lownti and to let them know
that wo were going full speed astern.
Tho Metapan falrl trcmblid under thn
thrust of tlm engines racing nstcrn, nnd
(he had nearly lost wny when thu luwian
ploughed Into her
"From wh.re I stood It seemed that
thn bow of tho Iowan sliced In ten feet
Just forward of tho bridge. There was
a great Jar, tho ship heeled over, and then
as eho righted again the Iowan bounded
away and atood by, Tho crew's qu.ir.efs

alnrm had been given In lime, nnd fortu
nately nil the men had been nbln to got
out. Otherwise hoiiih of tlioni certainly
would have been killed. j

"Even before wo ntruck tlm alarm had
sent tho crew to quarters, and lognn,
the second officer, took chargo of th"
boat deck, Tlm crow behaved finely
There was little excitement among the
passengers, but that llttlo was soon nl
