Jan. 15.-A telegram reached the White Houso late today from Mrs. Julian Heath of New York, of the Housewives league, who aald that speak ing for 800,001) American homes, she urged President Wilson : to embargo shipment' of wheat abroad that the supply might he conserved to keep prices normal in ; highly defective, adding that the Panama America. canal was "miserably and most In- Mrs. Heath's telegram was as follows: 'adequately protected" against being Mown "Tho National Housewives league, rep- up and blocked for month by agents or rosentlng- M0.O0O American families, with spies of a hostile natlok. He said the recommendation of Secretary Garrison for a 18,000 increXS la men was very moderate. , Ho expressed regret that only sixteen men were on the reserve list, subject to be called back to the colors to fill up ths gaps which war would make In ths reg ular army. Benator Lodgs declared the army waa without sufficient artillery and artillery ammunition and said available testimony showed that the guns in the fortifications were of shorter range that those car ried by foreign warships of the latest designs. He said the army had practically no motor trucks for transport or armored cars with machine guns. "The difficulty sppears to be," he con tinued, "according to 'the War depart ment, that no aatiafactory motor truck haa yet been developed In the United States." Have Essiik Miaes Senator Lodge stated that there was apparently a sufficient number of mines for harbor defense, but that there was) a shortage of cable and mine planters. As to the navy, Senator Lodge said more destroyers were needed, but tho most obvious weakness was In subma rines. The worst deficiency, he contin ued, was In scout erulners, the United States having only three, against aev- enty-four In England, fort)' -one in Ger many and thirteen In Japan. "We have, therefore, three scout cruis ers," declared the senator, "to protect and give warning of tho approach of a hostile fleet for 6,000 miles of roast on the Atlantic and Pacific. If they were con centrated on the Atlantlo coast, they would have to cover 1,000 mllea a day to patrol tho coast, and they are slow shlpsv" The European war, he aald. had dem onstrated the value of air craft, yet the triiiy had only thirteen aeroplanes and no Zeppelins or dirigible airships, and no armored aeroplanes and no guns suitable for aeroplanes. The navy haa twelve aeroplanes and no Zeppelins or dtiiglblea. Senator Lodge atated that he had been Informed that tho appropriation for naval aircraft had not been expended, the delay being due, among other things, to fall ure of tho American manufacturers! to furnish aeroplanes. He ssserted the ex planations given were no defense of tre conditions and aald that It seemed to him Idle to suppose that good aeroplanes could he built in this country. "It Is quite possible," he concluded "that the wararng European nations have not got 4 he beat conceivable type of aero planes, but they have large numbers of them, which are formidable and effective and which eeem to answer overy purpose."

The supplement containing all the leg islation enacted since the lssus of the cods in has been printed and dis tributed. But the index was not com pleted. The compilers have found that the index as planned will make a book nearly as large aa the supplement or the code. It is believed that. In view of the fact that ths index is to be for the code and supplement. It would be best to have It in a' separate book. Belalaa Relief. Further plana for Belgian relief have been announced. The governor has re reived a request from tho headquarters Of the relief committee In New York to announce that supplies can be sent by express or parcel post at the expense of the committee.
