GEN. MILES SAYS mo WAR;
Is Likely to Occur Between Japan and
the United States.

That Japan could easily take posses
sion of the Pacific islands under exist
ing conditions is the opinion of Major
General Nelson A. Miles, United States
Army, retired. Discussing Count Won
Reventlow's article, given to the
United Press, General Miles declared
he believed there would be no war
with Japan.
Butt he added, "you never can
tell. There is no earthly reason why
Japan should go to war with America.
However, if ever they should clash
the Pacific islands would quickly sue
cumb to the attack.
elm three or four weeks the United
States could put 100000 men, prop
erly equipped and well-ofiicered, in the
field This is sufficient argument that
japanese aggression beyond the islands
would not be effective.
