Washington, Nov. 18.-Major Gen
eral Wotherspoon, who is retiring as
Chief Of Staff of the United States
Army, in his annual report, made pub
lie to-day, declared that the country
could not, with its present force, repel
an invader from either coast.
Alaska, the Philippines, Hawaii and
the Panama Canal would be captured,
he says, if the country were TO be in
vaded now.
Major General Wotherspoon recon-
mends the establishment of a standing
army of 205,000 men, witt a require
ment for service in reserve which would
make Immediately available a mobile
force of 100000 men for the defence of

Adequate supplies, especially of ar

United States army is wofully weak,
would be necessary, says the report, to

the field for at least six months.

"HSINC A TRAITOR"
SAYS PROF. jerks
Denies Chinese Generals
Story of Despotism in
Shih-Kai Rule.

Dr.. jeremiah W. jerks, Of New York
University, who is director of the Far
Eastern bureau, took strong exception
yesterday TO the statement recently
issued by Professor Beard. of Columbia
University, that he had definite in
formation from Hwang Hsing, leader of
the Chinese revolutionary party, that
since the incumbency Of Yuan Shin
kai, the young President of the new re-
public, China had been the worst kind
Of an Oriental despotism. DR.. jerks
also discredited the report that the two
Chinese commissioners now in this
country were here for the purpose of
negotiating a loan for their govern
ment.

views" said DR.. jerks, "the generals
ideas seemed TO me curiously quaint
muddle of vain imaginings. OF course,
the general can have only his magma
tiOn TO guide him regarding the pur-
poses Of the Chinese government, for
he is at the present time a prescribed
traitor who dares not return 10 his
home country, and who secured admis-
sion TO the United States only on the
plea that he was political refugee.
understand, Of course. that Professor
Beard intends to give only General
Hwang's views.
professor Baird is certainly one Ct
the leading authorities on American
politics, but on Chinese politics he
would hardly, | think, express per
sonally an opinion contrary to that Of
his distinguished former colleague, DR..
Goodnow, now president of Johns Hop
kins University and adviser on consti-
| tutional matters to the Chinese gov
eminent, who returned from China last
August. DR.. Goodnow, who / happened
TO meet in Washington, permits me to
say on his authority that General
Hwang in China is utterly discredited.

even with former members of his own
party, who believe that he betrayed
them in the last revolution, and very
many of whom have considered il wise

Shih-kai.'
Dr.. jerks said that it was only on
the authority of General Hwan Hsing
that Professor Beard asserted the two
Chinese commissioners now in this
country are attempting to make a loan.
lie prefers TO take Dr. Goodnow's opin-
ion, who came over on the same
steamer with the commissioners, Dr.
jerks said, that the Cinnamon were not
here TO attempt TO float loan, but to
make a lengthy study of fnpcial and
engineering subjects
While China needs money for her
development, DR.. jerks said he had no
sympathy with the statements that
there was "dire distress in the Chinese
government" He deprecated the criti-
cism OF the uses made by the new gov
eminent in China Of the fve-pOwer
loan, and paid a high tribute to the
patriotism, progressiveness and COM
mendable policies Of Yuan Shihkai.

ARREST IN BOMB
CASE REPORTED
Police Hint Private Sleuths
Have Got Reward for
Hidden Prisoner.

Mysterious activity mt the Second
Branch Detective Bureau last night led
10 the belief that an arrest in the
Tombs court bomb throwing case would
be made before morning, though no
report of any arrest had been made
up to midnight.
II was intimated that the arrest was
TO be made by private detectives acting
for morning newspaper which had
offered a reward of $1,000 for an arrest
in the case.
There is a feeling at Police Head
quarters that the bomb placed IN the
Tombs police court Saturday might
have been set there by some destitute
and starving man as a protest against
present economic conditions, and from
now on the Police Department and the
United Charities will work together in
an effort to alleviate conditions which
might produce such a mental attitude.
w. n. Matthews, director of the fam
lily welfare department Of the United
Charities. said yesterday that in future
the policemen on post would communi-
cate at once all cases of restitution
that came under their notice, and that
those suffering would be Immediately
aided. At Police Headquarters it was
understood that the order would go
into effect to-day.
The police census of anarchists,
Black Handlers, gangsters and other
enemies Of society is now under way.
In order. he says. to make public the
stand of the Church of the Social Revo-
luton on bomb throwing. Bouck White

ed that he had received permission TO
hold the first OF these at Ann st. and
Broadway to-day, and that he had
designated a speaker. ~.

he said, "and at these meetings we will
