New Arbitration Idea.

Representative Hobson has now
brought to light another one of the
ideas of which he seems TO be as
full as an average Georgian is now
empty of anything in the way of in
texicants. He has introduced a
resolution providing for the APP
pointment of a commission on arbi-
tration and armament. Judging
from the wording of his resolution
Mr.. Hobson is of the opinion that
the only arbitration worth bother
ing with is that which As backed up
by "the compelling arm of our navy
and military forces"
First, we must have an army and
navy so strong that when we start
in to arbitrate we viii be in a posi-
ton more OF less to say to the other
fellow: you arbitrate or take the
consequences" at the same time
casting a significant eye at a bris-
Ting army and formidable fleet con-
veniently arrayed at our back.
After having thus gained no little
respect for arbitration, we can then
proceed to arbitrate, and having set
tied various important matters in
this peaceful manner, we can pro-
coed to reduce the size of our means
of offense and defense. Just what
viii happen then depends upon
whether other nations have in the
meantime reduced their own fight
ing equipment.
just how Mr.. Hobson is going to
maintain an arbitration agreement
due 20 our exhibition of force after
that force has been reduced. he has
not seen fit to explain. There seems
TO be room here for further details.

JUSTICE HARLAN
WANTS BIG NAVY
Finds China a Menace to
This Country and FaVors
Two Fleets.

At the third annual banquet of the
Navy League at the New Willard last
night, Justice Harlan made a speech
declaring that this country needs big
ger navy, one that can protect the At
lantIc and the Pacific seabOards OF this
country.
A menace to the United States in the
Orient. he declared, Is China. He said
China would soon have lighting army
OF 100000 men. Justice Harlan then
continued:
I don't care how big the navy is.
want 10 see the navy large enough to
take care Of the Atlantic. 10 take care
Of the Pacific, with all their cities.
Il do not care If you call for one
navy or two navies. If any trouble
ever arises want 10 see navy great
enough 70 take care OF this country. We
want little larger army than we have.
Our army is on land. right around
us. A President might use that army
10 subvert the institutions Of a free
country. But that does not Apply to a
navy. These vessels cannot get upon
land There is no danger to the IbeF-
ties Of the country in an increase IN the
navy"
Gen. Horace Porter acted as toast
master of the banquet. Others who
spoke were Commissioner mcfarland.
