Missourian Says Congress Will Work Out System Satisfactory to Everybody. < Washington. Nov. 19?Champ Clark, speaker of the house, told Presrent Wilson today he favored a national defense programme within reasonable limits. He said he had not committed himself to the details of the administration's proposed army and navy increases because he had not considered them thoroughly but that he believed the coming congress would work out satisfactory legilation. I "I only talked to the president for a few minutes," said the speaker after leaving the White House. 'We bdiefly discussed the army and nary programme proposed. I frankly said that I would be in favor of legisla-1 tion which would assure reasonable ^defense for the country against any; possible enemy. I did not got into de-j -tarns. For one thins I think that' --there might be difficulty in working : out the plan for raising the socalled - continental army, but I am confident: congress will work out a general! scheme of increased defenses satis-1 factory to everybody." A Bill of His Own. ; Speaker Clark stopped here on the way to speak in Pennsylvania, the president having written him recently expressing a wish to confer with him , before congress convened. He said he had given the subject of national i prepardness much thought in the last few mouths and would take an active ! part in proposing legislation. For one thing he proposes to introduct a 'hill to bouble appointments to West "Point and Annapolis, and also to [ make it passible for any qualified j youth to attend either institution at. his own expense and at actual cost. In his talk with the president the speaker said he realized that derein# - . i degislation to meet the preparedness i programme was essential and that J extension of the special war tax would be necessary. As a possible means of increasing revenue, he suggested the reduction of the exemption and in crease of surtax in the income tax law, the continuation of the duty on ?? r ?? mr m MnaAML y Janua we told you that t ;ou are expecting r >hen we open our n lore work days in which tc ind if low prices will move e we venture to say that ow cleaned out on our last work at ion. !oat Values ck will be sold at actual cost, irtment at present so come 's good.

Mr. Clark said published statements .aat he would leave the speak ei's chair to take charge of the preparedness measure were exaggerations. ! "The speaker of the house can take he floor and discuss a subject any i time be sees fit to do so," he added. ! "I might take an opportunity to ad| *rcss the house in the next session, but 1 to say that I propose to assume floor leadership is buncombe." The recent announcement by Representative Claude Kitchin, ^majority leader of the house, of his opposition ro the administration's defense programme was followed by the reports to which the speaker referred. It was pointed out tonight however, that in so far as floor leadership was concerned, the army bill would be taken care of bv ReDresentati've Hay. chairman of the military committee, the navy bill by Representative Padgett, chairman of the naval cammittee, and that both would be assisted by Representative Fitzgeralu, onair^ man of the appropriations committee, and Representative Sherley, chairman of the .subcommittee on coast fortifications. Efficiency of Prayer. Dean Hale, Rochester, England, tells of an innocent and obliging curate who went to a Yorkshire parish where many of the parisioners bred horses and sometimes raced them.

Washington, Nov. 18.?(Association -Tv.stice Charles E. Hughes of the United States supreme court has declined to allow his name to go before the Republicans of Nebraska in the presidential primary to be held next April. The formal declination of Justice Hughes to which he took oath before a nntarv and which was telesrashed to the secretary of state at Lincoln was as follows. "A petotion having been filed with you on November 13, 1915, requesting that miy name be placed upon the official primary ballot of the Republican party for the primary election to be held in Nebraska on April 18, 1916, as a candidate for the office of president of the United States, I hereby notify you that I de cline the nomination made by this' petition or similar petitions, and request that my name shall not be1 placed upon the ballot for such primary election." The attorney general of .Nebraska has been quoted as saying Justice Hughes could not withdraw his name from the nrmiarv ticket. On the other r ? hand, Nebraskaers in Washington contend there is no question as to his right to withdraw. It is believed that the secretary of state of Nebraska will lay the matter before the attorney general for opin-l ion, and that this opinion will decido f the case. The Only Way.

It became known today that / ^ wnen tne rortncoming note to Great Britain regarding interfefrence with neutral trade is forwarded 'virtually identical notes will be dispatched to j the Teutonic allies and to France and Italy. ^ So far as Germany and Austria are concerned officials regard the protest as mote or less academic in view of the fact that their commerce raid ers and cruisers no longer are on the high, seas, and theor seizures of cantraband are limited. In retaliation for the issuance of / the British blockade orders in council, however, Germany hae proulgated a list of contraband whlr'n in_ eludes most American products.
