JAP METHODS OF
WAR FOR YANKEES
Jiu-jitsu and Sword Combat to
Be Taught at West Point
and Annapolis.

: Washington, Jan. 2S.-America is
learning lessons from the Russo;Jap-
anese war which will prove valuable to
both the army and the navy Of the
United States, and now, acting on the
suggestion that instructors be employed
at the naval and military academies to
teach the science of jiu-.itsu:-the Jap
anese method of wrestling, the cabinet
has decided to appoint joint military
and naval board to study the matter
with the idea of supplying the cadets
with instruction not only in wrestling,
but in sword exercises and other forms
of exercise which might: prove of value
in personal encounters. The eastern
war has demonstrated that hand-t hand
encounters are much more likely to oc-
cur than had been supposed. The rea-
son for this is. the adoption of new
methods of attack. The war has de-
veloped an unusual number of. night at
tacks in which the attacking force
usually is in close proximity to the
enemy before it is discovered. The re.
suit is hand-to-hand encounters, in
which swords, lances, revolvers and the
personal strength Of the combatants
figure materially. In many of these
fights the Japanese, thru their superior
knowledge Of sword play and their re,
markable agility, overcome their op'

In reply to a question from Chairman

Washington, Jan. 29.-President Roose-
welt 3 recomm endations for three battles
ships and other warships has been.
turned down by the house committee on
naval affairs. The committee has voted
to authorize the construction of only
two battleships. The compromise was
reached by q vote of l3 to 4.
Speaker Cannon and the republican
leaders have explained to members that
only by the strictest economy can a big
deficit be avoided and that it is neces-
tsary. to- trim the naval appropriation
bill as we'll as all the other bills. !
The house may gut the number OF
battleships to one. There is a DISPOSE
ton on the part Of members to cut down
the. naval bill, because of the fact thai
no public buildings have been author
lied for some time. and because Of the
small appropriations proposed for river
and harbor, improvements.
The naval bill is practically complete
and carries about one hundred million
dollars. No new work at navy yards
| is authorized.
I The battleships authorized are to be
of 16,OOO-ton type, costing about seven
million three hundred and fifty thou-
sand dollars each, and are to Garry the
| heaviest armor and armament.

The first speaker for the affirmative
spoke Of immigration as detriment

conditions Of labor. The opening
speaker for the negative showed from
history that the exclusion of immigra-,
ton had resulted in the decay Of great
nations in the past. The second speak
er of the affirmative brought out the
demoralizing effects socially of immigra-
ton, showing that disease vice, poverty
and political corruption followed. This
was answered by the argument that

undesirable classes and that there had
