Another Wahingtonian Is Appointed to Consular Service Announcement has Just been made at the State Department of the appoint ment of Edwin Atherton son of Mrs Brown of 8803 New Hampshire avenue northwest to the consular service at Genoa Italj Young Atherton is the third graduate from Central High School to receive an appointment to the consular service within the last few months Late In the fall of 1915 George Van Dyne a graduate of the class of 1912 and William Bailev of 14 were assigned to posts the former in London and the other in South America come to Europe on a special mission for President Wilson Officially of course CoL House is not recognised here but that he has talked with a number of the leading men of the country both in and out of politics Is undeniable Among these is Mr Lloyd George with whom I have good reason for knowing he had a very pleasant and profitable chat Has Discussed Blockade Matters of great Interest to both countries were discussed By tar the most important and outstanding subject was that of the proposed blockade of Germany There is reason to believe that CoL House knows exactly what President Wilson feelings are regarding this and what Is more he has let them be known to certain persons here Signs have been very apparent In the newspapers during the past two weeks of a great public and press demand for using the power of the British navy to the utmost in preventing supplies from reaching Germany Blockade Now Expected If this be done and every one here believes It can and will be done very effectively and Immediately It Is thought Mr Wilsons task will be lightened tremendous and he will be correspondingly relieved CoL House refuses to discuss his mis sion He says he goes to Paris this week Bat as I Baie said I have every reason to believe his mission so far baa been successful Cancels Italian Trip That CoL House Is anxious to return as soon as possible to America is shown by the fact that he has cut out a side trip to Italy to visit his closest personal friend Ambassador Thomas Nelson Page This was to have been the only pleasure Jaunt connected with his stay abroad CoL House has likewise advanced the time of his departure for Paris and is hoping to leave here on Wednesday night Asked by a correspondent when he would return to America he said I want to sail for the United States on a Dutch liner on February 19 I wanted very much to visit Ambassador Page but doubt If there will be any time to go to Italy After a few days in Paris Col House will go to Switzerland and thence to Germany In Touch With President When It was suggested that his visit to Switzerland at this Juncture seemel most significant he savd smilingly But I have to go through Switzerland anyway It is believed here that Col House has been in close touch with President Wilson throughout his visit and his desire to return speedily Indicates the urgency of his mission He has been extremely busy during his stay here seeing most prominent officials but few Americans BpecUltoTfasWisMDgtoaPost Philadelphia Jan lL Emphattc denial that tha united 8tates wriuf be in danger of Invasion ratthe end of the European war and that the army and

to the people of the United States to organize In support of a systematic national defense was voiced by IJndley Garrison Secretary of War in an addrsss tonight at the annual banquet of Group 8 of the New Tork State Bankers As sociatlon Group 8 is composed of the bankers of New York city Secretary Garrison declared that the opposition to national defense is well organized and that unless the people of the country urge upon Congress that they desire adequate national defence the present system which the speaker said was utterly Inefficient would be retained National Forces Essential National defense the Secretary stat ed must rest upon national forces Unity of responsibility authority anl control is the essential principle of all military affairs he said A real military policy Secretary Garrison asserted must be continental In scopes and the Federal government must be in authority All proposals he said to build a military system for the United States upon the basis of State troops are pro posala to continue a situation that is Illusory and not real that Is a sham ani not substantial that is a mockery and not honest The Secretary said that while there Is disagreement among military experts as to the particular numbers of troops needed all views agree upon the essential principle that the troops should be national troops There must be he continued a regular standing army and organized Federal troops subject to Instant call This he said has been called a continental army Opposition Is United The opponents of real national defense although a small minority are vigorous and vocal and very busy The opposition although actuated by widely differing motives is united in antagonism The supporters of real national defense are divided and dispersed and therefore ineffective They are wasting their strength by fighting against each other over details Unless It is settled by affirmative legislation that the nation shall raise organize officer train and at all times control the national forces for national defense all other things that are done or left undone are of little orno moment Tou cannot possibly have any military system worthy of the name based upon 48 separate armies operating under 48 separate authorities raised officered and trained by 48 separate commanderscommanders in chief And the suggestion that this hybrid Incoherent utterly Insufficient system Is turned into an effective and trustworthy system by merely providing that the men who go intn fht Stat organization must agree to serve the national government In time of war is deceptive in the extreme That is our present systeroor more properly speaking lack or system What Is suggested Is that the national government which has the most ample power to raise maintain and control tutinnul forces for national defense shall not only refrain from exercising this power but shall parcel it out to States of the Union and then buy back some measure of authority and Jurisdiction Program In Great Danger That thisJ Ineffective and dangerous result is more imminent than the majority of people have any idea of is what I have come here to say to you Those whose self Interest and purpose lies alpng the line of diverting the public demand for real national defense and securing this sham policy are en ergetic and active to procure Just that result Their announced and declared purpose is to add a few thousand nien to the existing organizations oi tne regular army to pass the militia pay bill and stop there If that Is all that the people of this country want then they have agitated themselves to no purpose and have wasted their time and their nerve force and their brain force unnecessarily If this is a satisfactory solution no effort whatever upon anybodys part will be necessary to secure that Is the Peoples Question Let the supporters of a real military system agree that whatever forces the nation Is to rely upon shall be raised maintained and controlled by the Federal government and these subsidiary questions will be worked out in due time and be properly settled Department of Justice Agents Find SlanyPersons Who Were Mulcted but Who Object to Testifying As sistant
