ROOSEVELT WRITES
OF GREATER NAVY
CrItIcises Well Meaning but Fat
| uOus Advocates Of Peace.

New York May 7-Ex-President
Roosevelt declares In an article in
this weeks Outlook that 1t is the duty
of. America to wait and see whether
or not Japan succeeds in preventing
the immigration to this country of any
appreciable number of Japanese labor
ing and small trading classes. If Ja-
pan fails, he writes. this government
must protect itself by treaty or legis-
lation: but he adds, at would be
doubly incumbent upon us to take the
action in the way that would provoke
the least possible friction and cause
the least possible hard feeling"
Although, he asserts, Americans
have the right to say what immigrants
shall come to their shores they are
powerless to enforce that right
against any nation that chooses to dis
regard their wishes unless I'VE con-
tinue to build up and maintain first
class fighting navy"
The professional peace advocate. he
continues. who opposed the upbuilding
of the navy would place the United
States where 1t would be at the mercy
of any nation which wished to disre.
gard it's desires to control immigra-
tion, protect the Panama canal or
take any stand for international honor
or righteousness.
Mr. Roosevelt adds that those well
meaning but fatuous advocates OF
peace who would try to prevent the
upbuilding of our navy utterly mis-
read the temper of their countrymen.
America would fight. he says, whether
prepared or not, and "all the peace
advocates could do would be to pre-
vent this country from being success
full in the war"

CAUSE HALF MILLION LOSS
Disastrous Bush Fires Rage In West
ern Canada.

Winnipeg, Man, May Word has
been received here that hundreds OF
thousands of dollars worth of prop
erty was destroyed and scores OF
ranchers forced to flee for their lives
as a result of disastrous bush fires
that swept the country from Notch
Hill as far east as Threvalley and
south from Sicamour as far as Yer
non in the Kootenays. Among the
losses are two large saw mills, both
of which were totally consumed in the
wall of fame that swept overland.
Barns and houses fell prey to the
fire and many head of cattle were lost,
while many settlers had to leave
everything and hasten to save their
lives. The total losses, 1t is known,
will reach 100000. Canadian Pacific
railroad fences and telegraph lines
were destroyed for nearly twenty
miles and telegraph communication
between Revelstoke and Kamloops Is
cut on.
