Th« Preparedness Program.
To the Editor of The News:
Sir—Those who oppose the program of: preparedness sustain their contention by ; declaring that the United States Is in j less danger of invasion now and will con- j tinue so for the next twenty-five years,; than at any time since the surrender of Lord Cornwallis, and when this war Is * ever every nation Involved will be bank-; rupt in men and money, and the able- j bodied men who survive will be so dis- j gusted with the memory of Its horrors I that they could not be induced or coerced i Into a war with the United States. That' the history of modern wars shows that a ' •ingle generation of men seldom fight a I second war, and every great war practl-! cally exhausts the resources and strength j of the generation whl*h fights It, and; widely destructive wars are followed by a j
which, by its unanimity iltive public command for l high tide of public opinion j

our armament at this time is mischievous, unnecessary and a waste of ‘
money
This line of argument was so disturbing that Secretary Garrison made a reply.

The secretary's plea is not good. It is > insufficient and inaccurate. From the eur- ! render of Cornwallis to the war of 1812 there was thirty-one years of peace; from the war of 1812 to the Mexican war, thirty-three years; from the Mexican to the civil war, thirteen years, and from the civil war to the Spanlsh-Amerlcan war, thirty-three years, the average Hod being 27H years. This is the hls-
of the United States, and that of
surope for the same period Is probably not materially different, and yet Secre tary GarHson warns us that our own history does not justify our conclusion that we are in no danger from European invasion for the next twenty-five years. If this history does not justify our conclusion It is as least an effective bar to the secretary’s line of argument and conclusion that we are in imminent danger. The secretary should review American history or miss a license to teach school, we are not In such Immediate danger as to iustify a pellmell rush into creating a two-power navy and an army of a million men. We can wait twenty years,
to our own history, and then Seven and one-half years to prepare war the secretary's horoscope Let us keep cool and collect
our war-excited scattered senses for the next ten years and pursue a policy of "watchful waiting" Instead of rushing into vast armament. We should quit spluttering like frightened school children and
act like sane'men.

A Pisa for Older Men. To the K<Ulnr of The News: Sir—What Is to become of the old men in business or the skilled trades? I do not mean the decrepit or feeble old men, but those who have passed middle life a few years, and are still good for many years of productive work. This is essentially the day of the young man, but the cry for young men has become a fad, and like all fads, it has reached a harmful and heartless extreme. A reaction will take place later when reason will prevail, hut meantime God help the old fellows. 1 am skilled In my trade—have few superiors, and I know It. An unfortunate business failure some time ago threw me out of work. I have sought -work up and down the streets to alwavs meet the rebuff. "We wanted a younger man. ' And this often by a young stripling who, if he depended on his practical worth would scarce survive his first pay day. This is absolutely true In very man cases.

heads were stuffed, and explaining how things'were done in real, practical work. In spite of this handicap, my finished work for the day more than equaled that
of both the youngsters.
Notwithstanding this, in the evening I was told hy the young foreman that, while my work was highly satisfactory, he wanted younger men; he was sorry, and—here’s your nioney. Theory is all right—I had It In plenty—but practical work alone gives it any value and frequently upsets It altogether. I also have a university diploma—somewhere—but even If I could find It I could not trade It for a. plate of beans at a dairy lunch. Our present method erroneously presumes that the theoretical preparation for beginning practical work has made an expert of the young man. Far from It The young man Is a specialist, and at sea whsn conditions change, while the old man is an all-around man. accustomed to adapting himself to circumstances. I am fifty-four, and will hold my own with men twenty and thirty years my Junior, but the opportunities are scarce. The young man is all right, God bless him, and so is the old fellow, and each has his place but If we won’t let the old man earn his living what are we going to do with him. OLD-TIMER.

The Preparedness Question. To the Editor of The News: , Sir—In my estimation, in going over the probable and possibly actual causes of the present outrageous condition of affairs In Europe, preparedness has been the principal factor. Germany and France vied with one another In increasing the size of their standing armies. In expending millions for equipment for land warfare and in building crafts for aerial and naval fighting. The first result from such a program is a financial one. Under all forms of government, taxation is the only, or rather the largest means .of raising capital. Consequently, taxes were increased until they reached such a point that the people commenced to clamor as to the reason for all this unnecessary equipment France replied, to offset Germany: Germany’s reply, to offset France. Consequently there could be but two results, either h national struggle or an internal
one.
I will concede that a certain amount of prep&rednesM is essential. This should be done by the government and under government control and not by contracting
to syndicates.

West Indianapolis Car Conditions.
To the Editor cf The News:
Sir—I notice in the columns of your paper a protest from a former motorman criticising the rowdyism of West Indiapapolis passengers. Any one who tries/to get home from work between the hours of 5 and 6:30 p. m. fully understands what causes ‘ rowdyism.” Last evening I let four cars go by that there was not even room to hang on. I got on the fifth one. This car had a "barn only” sign on the front end. but the conductor said he was going out to the end of the line. There were sixty-five fares collected on this car. and not more than five got off before reaching Oliver avenue and Division street. The conductor said: “Everybody cut and get the next car.” Every one refused to get off, as the mud and slush were over your shoe tops where the street car company had sw-ept the track and left it piled in the street, not even making a crossing for people. Now. Imagine your wife or (laughter getting off In this simply to keep this company from paying an additional thirty minutes' pay to the crew. The car turned and started toward town, then stood about twenty minutes and turned again and went to the end of the line, causimr a delay of about forty-five minutes. To show- the public how the West Indianapolis line is bandied, there were seven cars running in one direction, not only that evening, but it is that way every evening. I have seen as many as 130 fares on the register. Imagine that crowd in a street car. No wonder there is so much disease spread. West Indianapolis. R. F. SNYDER. Children’s Dreams Realized.

Sir—How many of us have stopped to think of what has come to pass in recent years and realized that these things were in the minds of the children when we were little ourselves? Did we not put chairs together and pretend that it was a big car covered with sheet iron and
see out to shoot the In-
dians but they could not see us inside, and did we not “play like” the thing would run by itself? Then it was only a dream with us, but the children grew' to be men and the little notions in the child’s head have been worked out until
the dream became a reality.
We had all kinds of Imaginations that were then only child play, but they staved with us and today what the boy wished for in play we have as an actual fact. Isn’t It possible that some children even “played Mke” pictures could walk and move; might not some children or child have “played like” a machine could talk, and did not some children think it would be fine to fly around In the air? And how many other things were in the minds of the child that have been worked out
when the child became a man?
I wonder what the child of today Is wishing for. I wonder if the dreams of
there little ones now will be worked out into wondrous things of the future, or could it be possible that the children of today have so much of convenience and pleasure before them, thought out by the child of yesterday, that they have llttls to imagine and wish for in the future, cider. But more than likely their little brain* are busy, and while we wonder If theraY *»» is anything else to discover it may be surprising what will be brought out that is now just playing in the minds of the
children today.

Proportion of Cider to Apple*. To the Editor of The New#: Sir—You recently advised an inquirer that 2,240 pounds of apples are required to make 150 pdunds of cider. Undoubtedly gallons instead of pounds was the intent. Any good cider apple will produce more than three gallons (about twenty-four
pounds) of cider a bushel of fifty pounds of apples. Some varieties will produce four gallons (about thirty-two pounds) to the bushel. It i» perfectly safe to say that a good cider press can easily make one-half the weight of the apples into

Ford’s Peace Efforts.
To the Editor of The News:
Sir-iThe author of this being only a workingman, and ill-tutored at that, his opinion, no doubt, will not carry much weight. But 1 would like to express a word In regard to Henry Ford, his Ideas and actions. It seems most newspapers have taken the stand that Mr. Ford has done decidedly wrong in trying to influence warring brethren to stop killing one another. Even some. It seems, positively condemned his actions, and of late one of our cartoonists is making a jest of the whole matter. Possibly Mr.
Ford’s judgment was not profound enough for him to see his mission to Europe In regard to peace would he of no avail at this time, but can we not so honor the man’s good Intentions by giving him public credit instead of condemnation? To my mind Mr. Ford alwavs has his fcliow-men’s ipUnrwet at heart, and shows It hi : <L practfl-al way. He !• an employer of men, and in that capacity shows his noble nature by paying them royally for their services. May his generous spirited tribe increase and his good work continue for many a year C.

Headquarters for Colored Waiters.
To i he Editor cf The New#:
Sir—After spending twenty-five years as a waiter, one-third of which time has been spent in Indianapolis, I am convinced that the “art of table.” as waiting table is called by a famous European chef, should be placed on a higher plane. We are living In an epoch when a clean 1111 of health, is required to be a servant anywhere. We come directly in contact with the food of the public. “When the*e is a standard of service required from all who serve the public in any capacity, then why should Indianapolis have less than the standard in the way of table service? The only conceivable reason Is that the people of Indianapolis have never had the matter placed before them In the proper light. Therefore I make this attempt to put the matter before the people of this city so that tin.
