are not troops enough in the Philippines.
but they would not be available for a
clash with the Chinese. The danger IL
there is any, is TO the Americans situ-
ated far inland. If they were attacked
it would be all over before the United
States could get troops 10 the spot So
far as the naval forces are concerned.
1t is different. The navy is well equipp-
ed. At Manila, along the coast OF Japan
and China, and at other convenient points
in the Orieat the United States has ships
which could be brought to bear on China
and enough 20 meet all possible needs. "
"Do you believe China has n grievence

RHODE ISLAND
RATES Of FARE
MAY BE REDUCED

The rates Of fare over the steam road
OF the Consolidated in Rhode Island may
be reduced in accordance with the policy
OF President Mellen. The cost OF trans
portation on the Berkshire division has
been cut half a cent mile and IL Is likely
a similar cut will be made on the Wor-
cester and Providence divisions. In dis
cussing the matter a repre- sentative OF the
Consolidated said:
President Mellens idea is that the pas
senger Is entitled 10 some OF the benefits
OF prosperity The experiment of two
cents a mile will be tried on the Berk-
shire division next month, and a proposi
tion to establish a two-cent rate on the
Naugatuck and Northampton divisions is
under consideration.
IF the company finds that traffic is
increased by the reduction, other localities
will be given lower rates, The first trials
will be made where the population is
dense, and the fact that the change was
ordered, shows that the company has con-
fidence in the 'two-cent fare.
"If the results are as anticipated there
is no reason for depriving Rhode Island
passengers Of the benefits offs cheaper
fares We know that the Blackstone
Valley and other localities tributary TO
Providence have great density OF popula-
ton, and we do not intend TO overlook
them.
