The Proper Defense of tn,
Pacific Build = Fleet, Bnild
it Immediately.
R. P. HOBSON)

It was folly to believe that the
yellow race would acquire white
civilization slowly. He has so
Quickly acquired it that he is
already ira nj II g our own
weapons against us. -
Our immediate hope lies in
getting auiek action. Emphasis
should be placed upon dispatch.
The fleet is the nations hope
in the last analysis. An over
whelming naval force should be
maintained on the Pacific, and
the Atlantic should not be left
unprotected.
Cost of construction is no OBJ
stacla, America has untold re-
sources In materials, money and
men. Let them be used. We
have already lost more by unjust
discrimination at the hands of
Japan than the fleet will cost.
Other nations will not hasten
their pace toward militarism be-
cause Of our building an adequate
Heet. They are going their best
pace now.
No fear of a feet rendering
America unduly aggressive.
That is not American policy.
The building and maintaining
such a fleet is not anti Christian,
any more than maintaining
policeman and constables is anti
Christian.
Gods hand is with America
this nation must rise to the full
height of her opportunities and
responsibilities.

The incident aroused much interest
here and impurities made resulted in as
certaining that several hundred OF the
brown men had been recalled and must
be in Yokohama by the middle of
March. They are booking passage on
outgoing vessels
Whether or not they are being re-
called by the Japanese war onlcA is a
mystery. A. Nagao. a prominent Japan
ese merchant, declined today to give
any information on the subject. and
said that there were pIenty OF reserve
men in Japan who would naturally be
called upon.
But we are absolutely certain that
an order to return has been received
in Vancouver and the fact that. the
japanese are making ready for the trip

Fate inserted friendly hand into
the affairs of Eugene B. Bolton Sat
urday, when it placed the wife from
whom he had been separated for
more than year at nearby table
in the big grill room of the St.
Francis. The room was deserted at
the time, for the Iuacheon guests had
gone and the dinner guests had not
yet arrived when the meeting that
was to reunite two lives that had been
severed by Misunderstanding took
place. A few honrs later and the
wife would have missed her husband.
tor he had made arrangements to re-
turn to his home in Elrnira, N. Y.
Misunderstandings separated the
couple few months after their mar
riage. Bolton remained in the offices
of the oil refinery, where he was en-
ployed at the time of his wedding. but
Mrs. Bolton journeyed to retoin her
mother. who had gone to live in New
Orleans Immediately after the daugh-
ter's wedding. The pair had not CORE

Rear Admiral Willard H. Brown
son, who resigned from the serv-
ice because he took issue with
the navy department when it or
dered that hospital ships should
be commanded by naval sur
geons instead of line officers,
was given stinging rebuke to-
day, when two letters from the
president bearing upon the con-
troversy were made public by
Secretary Metcalf. In the first
of these letters President Roose-
velt condemns in unmeasured
terms the act of Admiral
Brownson, declaring it to be un-
seemly and improper. The
question upon which Admiral
Brownson took issue with the
navy department, the president
declares, is one on which there
can be legitimate differences of
opinion; but. he adds. there Is no room
for difference OF opinion as to the gross
Improperly OF the admirars conduct IN

Anthony Comstoek Will Suppress
Prose Poem Written by
Stanford Student
spEcIAL DISPATCH no rHE cALL


NEW YORK, Jan. Sit has taken
Standley Gautereaux. whose post
office address" is Stanford university,
California. just twelve years to write
himself into trouble. According to
a notice of reviewers, which he is
sending around, he will require from
five to ten years more" to finish
his prose poem" entitled, Women
Love You" 1t will not be pos
sible for him to work on it another
day If Anthony Comstock, secretary
of the Society for the Suppression of
Vice, who is to be a witness for
Harry Thaw at his coming trial, can
induce the federal authorities TO inter
rupt Gautereaux's fervid and amorous
outpourings.
Book reviewers have been astounded
during the last couple of weeks at re-
ceiving with advance sheets of Gaute-
reaux's Prose Poem a facsimile of a
letterhead of the Society for the Sup
preston of Vice. on which appeared
extracts from letters purporting to have
been written by Anthony Comstock
which apparently indorsed a work
which would not be admitted to the
mails of this or any other civilized
country The advance sheets and the
facsimile letterhead. signed with
Comstock's name, have in all instances
been accompanied by a half tone repro
duotion of photograph of the Califor-
nian bearing the Inscription, Your
lover. Gautereaux''
ANTHONY COMsToCK DUPED
Comstock admitted today that the
extracts appearing on the facsimile
letterhead of the society with which
he is connected were written by him,
but that he had been duped by Gaute-
reaux and had already reported the
case to the postoffice department for
immediate action
It is not possible to make many ex-
cerpts from 'sWomen. Love You" It
is not even possible to suggest the
character of the unprintable language
in which the Prose Poem" is couched.
The advance sheets bear on the fore
page this inscription:
published by the author. whose per-
manent postotfice address is Stanford
university. California. U. S. a.
Then. in diamond type. In parenthesls
the impression that Gautereaux is con-
nected with Stanford university is care
fully put aside in these words:
Formerly special student in ethics
at the above named institution, but not
now IN any way connected with it.
Gautereaux writes in chapter one
universal:
Women. / love you.
Il, Gautereaux. love thee intensely,
