PARKER TELLS PASTORS U. S. NEEDS DEFENSE

A plea for "sensible" preparedness for the United States was made by Rev. Addison Parker, retired Baptist minister, at the meeting of the Ministerial association this morning. The discussion , of Bernardi's book, "How Germany Makes War" by the aged minister led to considerable discussion by the members of the association which brought out the fact that part of the ministers were for ample preparedness and that several were not for any kind of preparedness. Recounts Experience. The Rev. Mr. Parker discussed the

subject from a soldiers' standpoint. He was a soldier during the Civil War and recounted many of his experiences while a raw recruit. He explained that a new recruit was about as "green" a person as could be, found and that he was of little military value until he has received considerable training. Last winter, the Rev. Mr. Parker was along the Mexican border and he explained some of the things lacking in the army that he had noticed while on this trip. He said that the United States was not even adequately prepared to compete with a little nation like Mexico and asked what chance it would have if she were involved in a war with some great nation. He did not predict, however; that any serious trouble with any large nation was liable to occur soon. Favors Real Training. There should be some form of obligatory military training, the retired minister explained. He did not suggest any particular plan but said that the young men in general should be compelled to take a limited amount of military training. He said that a limited amount of such training was good for young men. A plea for more patriotism on the part of the people and the members of the army was another feature of the address. He explained that modern warfare depended upon the modern implements of warfare. The scarcity of such Implements in the United States was explained. Army Needs Transports. The lack of suitable transports In the United States was another thing emphasized by the Rev. Mr. Parker. The talk was suppllmented by a review from the book, , "How Germany Makes War," and from the recounting of numerous observations which the Rev. Mr. Parker has made personally while a soldier and while traveling. The speaker explained that there was danger if preparedness was carried to the extreme and a!l through the talk he brought out tho-fart that

A young boy, employed as a night caller for a railroad company, told Mayor Robbins this morning that had he not taken two or three drinks of booze last night he never would have robbed the cash drawer of a popcorn stand, near the C. & O. station, securing $3.65.

published in the newspapers, sobbed the youth, tears trickling down his

cheeks. "My dad is a foreman in a factory and I have a great, big. fine sister and I have a girl, and if this got out on me it would just kill them. Do what you want to with me, but don't tell the reporters. I have never been in trouble before and I know I did wrong. I saw the money and the booze told me to take it and I did. A fellow gave me the booze." Mayor Robbins informed the boy that he would take his case under advisement, but he couldn't promise to keep the lad's name out of the papers, because the reporters knew the boy.

on her last Friday night.
