DEPLORES WAR SCARE
Daniels Denounces Those Who
Misconstrued His Orders.
Credits Report, that U. S. Is Facing
Crisis Because of Alien Land
Bill, to Inscriptions Press.

Washington, May 19.-Secretary OF
the Navy Daniels deplored the war
scare" created in this country over
the Japanese-California situation and
denounced the efforts to construe re-
cent orders for the movement of ships
of the navy and men of the army as
part of plan for the preparation of
this country for struggle at arms
with the Japanese. He announced he
has ordered every ship in the Pacific
ocean to hold it's present anchorage,
because if one vessel were moved it
would add only to the war stories. The
secretary said:
war scares; reports that this gov
eminent is facing crisis because of
the Acknowledgements situation and
is hastily preparing for an information
al struggle; the reported statements
that the truth of the affair has been
withheld and the public deceived by
the administration are justified only
as far as the public will permit itself
to be misled by the image-making pow
er of certain and INSCRIPTIONS por-
ton of the press.
IF there had been even the slight
est justification for the publication
Of the war scares would be the first
to want the people to know the truth.
However, there is not, and protest
against the highly colored misinforma-
ton which the people are now being
fed by some publications.
''The danger in this character of
publication is not confined to the
boundaries of the United States 1t is
spread throughout the civilized world,
in Japan and elsewhere Thus the peo-
pie of every nation are given erroneous
Impressions; they are without the
true facts. and the radical element de-
mand reparation."
London, May 19.-"Should war
break out the sympathies Of Australia.
New Zealand and western Canada
would be violently on the side of the
United States" says the Pail Mall
Gazette in discussing the California
alien land ownership controversy.
The newspaper considers that 1t
would be grave mistake to underes-
innate the chances of conflict be-
tween the United States and Japan.
It says:
"The opinion that the Japanese will
never go to war to enforce their treaty
rights in California is one of those
dangerous generalities which lead ma
tions blindfold to the brink of the
pit"
The Pail Mall Gazette expresses the
opinion that there are several reasons
why Japan may be DESTROYS of forcing
the issue at the present moment. The
most obvious of these Is the pending
opening Of the Panama canal, while
more remote one is connected with
the condition of her Internal politics.
The article continues:

of Asiatics from permanent settlement

the Kenawha field, where the miners

proposals of Governor Hatfield, pro
viding for a check weighman, tom
mage of 1000 pounds, semi-monthly
pay and prevention Of discrimination.
The United Mine Workers Of Ameri-
ca has not been recognized by the
operators. Most of the American
miners have left the Kanawha field
and taken employment in adjoining
fields.
Operators Opposed to investigation.
Conditions in the New River field,
where the miners recently organized
District No. 20 with membership Of
$4,000, are also uncertain. AT a spe-
cial convention of the miners, the coal
operators granted all asked by Gov
ernor Hatfield in his Recommendations

luton providing for federal investi-
cation of the coal fields is generally
favored by the miners and opposed by
the employers and state officials. who
claim it unwarranted.

Hannibal, Mo, Oct. 17.-Gov. Ma nois and Gov. Eberhart of Minnesota are advocating a progressive policy looking toward a deep channel for the Mississippi river. which would give the great valley an outlet to the world. The three governors spoke along this line at the opening of the Upper Mississippi River association here.
 Gov. Major expressed himself heartily in favor of comprehensive waterways system that would give the cities of this region the advan- tages of transportation facilities which would reach every part of the world.
 Speaker Champ Clark was unable to attend. His letter of regret was read to the convention and was in part as follows:
 'It would give me a great deal of pleasure to attend your convention, but there is not any chance that con- gress will adjourn by that time and I cannot leave here while congress is in session. The Democrats of the house have twice elected me to the highest honor they have to bestow and do not think that should leave my official duties, so long as the house is in session.
 'T say no word in criticism of oth- CT people in like cases, but it seems to me to be dishonest for persons to receive money from the government for performing their official duties and then to leave their posts of duty to make money on the lecture plat form"
