ENGLISH PRESS ON MESSAGE.
Newspapers Emphasize Presidents
Warning About Foreigners.

LONDON, December 5.-PreSident Roose-
yelt's message to the American Congress
occupies the most prominent place in the
leading newspapers and has attracted wide
spread attention from government officials
diplomats and the public. The prevailing
tone of the comment is favorable par
ticularly with reference to the Presidents
statements on the Japanese question, the
newspapers emphasizing the Presidents
warning of a possible use of the federal
forces for the protection OF Japanese. This
feature of the message has given especial
satisfaction in official Japanese quarters.
where 1t is pointed out that Japan is sat
isfied to await the outcome of the issue be-
tween the state and federal authorities
The Daily Telegraph says the President
speaks out resoutely and fearlessly, know
ing that the democracy likes man who is
not afraid to be it's master.
The Standard says that the most Signif1-
cant feature of the message is that the
President is constantly finding himself up
against the American Constitution. Far
sighted observers have long since seen that
the United States has outgrown it's cradle,
vet the conservative sentiment of the most
conservative people on earth clusters
strongly around the Constitution. If there
are to be reforms they can only result
from drastic reconstruction of the poiti-
cal system, and the prospect of their reali-
cation appears somewhat remote.
The Daily News says the President seems
to be wrestling with forces he can compre-
bend but cannot control.
The Daily Express finds in the message
a striking demonstration of the fact that
England and America are sweeping for
ward in parallel lines, namely the struggle
of nationalism against anti-nationalism,
and Of the state against socialism.

NEED OF TRANSPORTS
Export OF GEN. BARRY, ACTING
CHIEF OF STAFF.

In his annual report Brig Gen. Thomas
H. Barry. acting chief of staff, calls to
mind the fact that the government is with
out water transportation facilities in cases
OF emergency in the movement of troops.
Praise is given the army as a whole for
its adaptability and resourcefulness when
dealing with novel and unprecedented con-
ditions. Gen. Barry giving as an illustra-
ton the work Of the army curing the San
Francisco earthquake and fire, in conjunc-
ton with the navy and Marine Corps.
The enlisted personnel, Gen. Barry re-
marks, Is excellent, but he favors the
elimination of certain officers who, for va
rious reasons. become untitled for an &C
tive soldiers life. He says:
LAS a rule the commissioned officers are
Industrious, earnest and capable, but there
Is class who find the hard and serious
work of an officers career In time of peace
different from what they had anticipated.
When lacking the excitement of active
field work, they grow lax and Indifferent.
While the number Of such officers Is small,
1t Is difficult to eliminate them under ex-
listing laws. Again, there is a class Of OFF,
GERS too old for active work; higher rank
has come to them so late in life that their
physical force has to a great extent been
expended and they are not fitted for its
increased responsibilities; they are. gen.
orally speaking, deserving. but elimination
among officers of this class, if done with
out injustice to them, would be to the best
interests of the service"
The Brownsville, Tex, incident, involv-
Ing the 25th Infantry, merely is touched
upon ION the WHOLE" says Gen. Barry,
the discipline of the army is good, and
is usually a question Of its official per-
sonnet and the manner in which they per-
form their duty. The enlisted men consti-
tute an excellent body. and, as a rule. are
cheerful under conditions of hard work
and discomfort. Necessarily the army

WAY TO KILL THE TRUSTS.
Get Corporations in One Big Company;
Then Lop Off Its Head.

Prof F. H. Giddings of Columbia Uni
versity pointed out what he believes to, be
the only solution of the trust and corpora
ton problem in lecture on sociology at
the university yesterday. Prof. Giddings be-
leves that it is impossible successfully to
fight corporations by legal means. Instead
of trying to do this he would allow corpora
lions to- consolidate and expand until one
huge interest has been formed. Then he
would chop off its head by substituting
public for private ownership.
There are few legal operations that
can't be tied or united if you get a clever
lawyer" said Prof. Giddngs. 80 long as
this is so the fight against corporations by
legal means must be a failure. SO long as
the money interest can employ the ablest
lawyers; so long as the public employs poor
lawyers and puts some of the poorest on the
bench. I suspect the trusts will get the
best of it,
To illustrate the ability of lawyers tc
operate for the trusts, he told of western
mining company that wanted piece OF
property so tied up that rival corporation
could not get hold of it. A member of a
New York law firm succeeded in doing the
work In a year the original corporation
had consolidated with it's rival and then
wanted to get hold of the property Five
New York law firms said that it could not
be unraveed. Finally the man who had
tied it up took 1t in hand, and in few
months succeeded in handing it over to the
corporation.
Prof. Giddinf continued
I'VE can't check the growth of corpora
TONS We don't want to. What we want
to do is to let it go until we have all big
interests under one control, and then SUBJ
stitute public for private ownership"
The professor denied the report that he
was a socialist, although he admitted that
he had once voted the socialistic ticket
He saws that he does not know whether
the socialists are working things out in the
right way or not
ut is mistake he says, Ito try to solve
the problem a priori by public ownership
What we do want is experimentation along
different lines. and I strongly favor any
legislation, such as railroad rates, that Is
an attempt to solve the problem.

GoFF CANNOT PRESIDE.
Jerome Disappointed Because He Will
Not Try Thaw.

Not Try TnaW.
NEW WORK.. December 5-Recorder Golf
will not be able to preside at the trial OF
Harry K. Thaw, as the judges Of the ap-
pellate division of the supreme court have
not seen fit to, assign him to trial term,
part 1, the criminal branch of the court.
District Attorney Jerome has said that
he would like to have Thaw tried before
the present recorder, who has presided at
a greater number Of important murder
trials than any other man now on the
bench in this city. At the last election
Recorder Golf was elected a judge Of the
supreme court, and he will assume his new
duties January 1. 1t was generally be-
Heyed. on account of his long experience
in the criminal courts, that Golf would be
assigned to the criminal branch of the SUI
preme court for one of the early months of
the new year.
The assignments, which were made public
Yesterday, involved series of surprises
for LAWYERS the chief being that the pres
emf recorder will be confined to civil trials
throughout the year. When Mr.. Jerome re-
Gently had the Thaw case transferred to
the supreme court the assumption was that
his motive was to have Judge Golf preside
at the trial. Those who have studied the
assignments are inclined to think that the
appellate division judges were anxious to
show their preferences IN a marked man.

unusually attractive exhibit.
Miss Todd's purpose Is to produce greater
equilibrium and thereby more successful
flights great wheel directly under the
center of the aeroplane with many attached
small cables extending to the body of the
machine, is calculated to furnish greater re-
sistance and a sustained balance. Miss
Todds aeroplane is fitted with a gasoline
motor.
Miss Todd's exhibit is an average-sized
model, with much of its material imported
from London and Paris. The machine Is
equipped with double set of propeilers and
a rudder of novel construction.

Todd modestly consented last evening to
talk about her work as an inventor.
THE proportions of my model are not
just right" said Miss Todd. and you will
observe some of the work is bit crude, but
you see had SO little time to complete my
aeropiane. After l was invited to exhibit
had only three weeks to get my machine
ready However, 1t serves its purpose to H.
lustrate my idea
Miss Todd Is a highly educated and Gull
tured young woman. who is well known in
New York social circles. During the Span
