M ENDORSED'
PLANS JOB DEFENSI
Favors Emergency Measure t
Increase Regular Army to
500,000 Men.
PREPAREDNESS NOT
PARTY ISSUE, HE SAY
Mann Fears War With Englan
Rather Than With
Germany.
Wasington, Jan. 27.?Reput
lica i Leader Mann made a vij;
oroas plea for preparedness i
the house Tuesday. Majorit
Leader Kitchin, fresh from
conference with President Wi
son over the executive's prepai
edness plan, did not join in th
general applause from both side
wnicn iouoweci Mr. Mann s re
marks.
"It seems the part of wisdor
for us to prepare ourselves fo
any possiblity of trouble tha
may come," was the keynote o
Mr. Mann's remarks.
Mr. Mann declared that th<
world today is in the worst con
dition that any living persoi
as ever seen it, and predicte<
that it might be many years "be
fore it is definitely determine*
whether one or the other, o:
neither side can become mas
ter."
He also scouted the perman
ancy of a "paper peace."
"No one knows," he continued
"where the aggression on eithe
side may lead us, perhaps no
into this struggle, but into on<
which is the outcome of this.
"I do not intend to discuss de
tails, though I have reached th<
conclusion myself that if it wen
well as an emergency measur
to increase our regular army t<
250,000 or 300,000, or evei
500.000, that we should increas
or provide our fortifications s
that our coasts mav h<> fairl
amply protected and that \v
should provide a navy which wi
be able to defend us on the sea.
"I have much more fear, in th
end. of a war with England tha
I have of war with Germany.
"Events are coming rapidly i
the world. We may sit by i
contentment and yet it is ou
duty, as manager of a grey
country and a powerful peoph
to provide for their protectio
against possibilities as we
as certainties. 1 think the
that we ought to provide thes
great forces; that it ought to b
considered an emergency mattei
entirely apart from the ordinar
routine or expense of govern
ment, without regard to part
sanship or party lines."
Following the close of Mi
Mann's address, Representativ
Bennet, republican of New Yorl
took the floor and criticise
President Wilson for his uttei
ances against certain Germa
Americans.

Reason cannot select correct prem- J

ten Franklin; "he can find reasons ^
or anything he wishes to do.'' That
i the trouble with reason as a guide. ?*??
ieason cannot guide. Reason is al- ^(
.ays guided by something else be- \

rom which reason makes its calcula- *s>4
Ions and records. Reason is a ca'.cuitlng
machine. C.ive It correct *
remises and tt will computo and
^cord the right answer every time. 4jM
tut reason has no power of choice
1 the matter of premises; like any J
ell regulated calculating machine it
utomatically uccepts the premises
?d into it. You have but to watch
our own thoughts carefully to prove ?
lis.
Who, or what, then, is responsible
>r the choice of premises that you
ted into your calculator? It is life
self whlcfr uses reason. It is life ?
self which creatos reason, the calulator.
And why does life need
?ason? Life needs reason to weigh,
