TALK OF WAR WITH JAPAN
Japanese Admiral Says Americans
Would Desert Ships.

Tokio.-The Hochi this morning
prints an interview with Admiral Saka-
moto in which the admiral is quoted as
follows:
"Should hostilities break out between
Japan and America, the result would
be indecisive owing to a want OF proper
bases of operations. Such bases as ex-
LIST are too distant for practical pnr-
poses. Even the nearest bases, namely,
the Prescadorea, Cavite and Manila.
IRE at a distance OF 600 miles from one
another. Even if the Washington gov
eminent decide on war, it is doubtful If
the Americans serving in the navy are
sufficiently patriotic to fight.
1.-THE American naval officers are
brilliant figures at balls and social
gatherings, but they are very deficient
in professional training and practice.
1t is too much to expect a burning pa
triotism in the American naval service
In case OF war with Japan. 1t is very
likely that most of the crews would
desert ana leave the ships"
Admiral Dewey Talks.

not ships enough to keep powerful
fleets in both oceans, but since we have
not it seems to me that in the interests
OF peace it is best at this time that our
fleet should be in the Pacifc.n
In this comprehensive and significant
sentence, Admiral George Dewey,
chairman of the general navy board,
the hero of Manila Bay, summed up
the reason and necessity for sending
The United States battleship feet, six.
teen huge sea fighters, from the Az
lantic to the Pacific.
Although Admiral Dewey does not
believe this country is likely to become
seriously involved with any foreign
power, he believes it necessary for the
United States navy to be paramount in
the ocean that has jumped into such
strategic Importance since the Spanish
and the Russian-J japanese wars.
