tain in the army
at the Golden Gate there are
enough coast defense guns to blow all
the warships of the world out of the
water. Yet Japan, if she wanted to,
could capture every town along the
coast, without a shot being fred, from
Seattle to San Diego. All she would
have to do would be to land her
troops at some unprotected point and
march
IF the trouble OF Mexico on our
own frontier, had necessitated our
men getting into action, we could not
mobilize a full division there Within
a month. Even Mexico could teach
US a severe lesson. " .,.w
The trouble with Americans" hs
sad, is that we allow our patriotism
to oVerbalance our common sense,
Because our history tells us that in
the past we licked every nation with
whom we had differences, we have the
idea that we are impregnable, and that
our national courage will win all bat
ties. We think that all we have TO
do is to stand. together and, should
we not be adequately armed, for the
occasion, hurl few Rocky mountain
rocks at the enemy"

Washington, Nov. 30.-The annual
report OF Hans NJ Randolph, super
of Mesa Verde National

part of Colorado, was made public TO-
day by the secretary of the interior
superintendent Randolph makes
the following recommendations
"On the completion of the topo. !
graphical map being made of the
park by the United States geological
survey, | recommend that all the
lands OF the five-mile strip, lying to !
the north and west of the boundaries |
OF the government lands as then es-
tablished by said survey, be released |
from the jurisdiction of the park, |
since this area contains no ruins of !
and geographically is no |
essential part of the park. | also re.
that that portion of the FIVE
mile strip lying east of Mancos
be permanently attached to the park
and Incorporated in 1t.
"'Their land within the strip is of !
almost no value to them, but is of |
value to the park, since
it contains the most important ruins
in the Mesa Verde district. The /
tract proposed for exchange in the
Ute mountain district contains no
timber, and is isolated
from the remainder of the forest so
that it might well be turned over to .
the Utes for grazing land"
