somebody Immediately turned in al
alarm. When the department reached
the scene there was no fire to be
found.

coasts in various directions and the
supply OF defensive material to Ma
Mia and other points.
America is thereby merely streng-
thening it's military gold reserve for
due execution of internationally rec
ognized commercial rules.
There are always black sheep in
every fock---in America as well as
other nations--who might, unles,
kept in line by the fear of conse-
quences, lead their fellows astray. 1t
Is for the benefit of such inevitable
outlaws that this American gold re-
serve of military strength is appar-
emily being maintained. The various
foreign Governments in themselves
do not require the up-setting of any
such system of 'watch-dogs,' but they
all recognize the existence in their
midst OF elements which may be ca,Is-
ed by greed or ignorance at any time
to transcend proper national limits,
so that all are reluctantly bound to
uphold this expensive internationa.
police system.
The points TO be observed are
that Western nations land Japan SO
far as known recognize the obliga-
ton Of certain international rules OF
fair intercourse. These are roughly
formulated in various international
| treaties and agreements. But occa-
sionally national eXigencies of need,
as against weakness, cause the OBJ
securing of national realization of
such international obligations. In
those cases, frequently, the mos,
broad-minded Government has been
forced to give way before short
sighted popular or sectional military
view, with the result that the
worlds peace has been dlsastrously
broken.
I'VE deem the present American
military attitude to be n warning to
all foreign States, in which the
United States has a commercial in
terest, against any attempt to violate
the recognized rules of the great in
ternational game.
Such an attitude cannot be justly
construed as a threat.
1T is informed by the policy per-
force pursued by all Powers having
great interests to protect and should
be recognized as the only guarantee
Df international faith and confidence
in the necessity of preserving world
peace, even by extreme means If nee
essary."
