CAPT. WATKINS RErL1

NaptHln II. II. watkins mas another
broadside In this issue of The Intclli-
gencer, in reply to the last communi-
cation OF City Attorney Sullivan. In
this communication he replies to some
OF the statements made by Mr.. Suli-
van in his communication published
In The Intelligencer OF last Sunday.
November %. Capt. Watkins is a logi-
cal writer, and makes some very plain
statements as to the propriety of the
city attorneys accepting the commits
sion to investigate the legality of the
franchise. He also takes him to task
for the allusion TO the fact that Capt.
Watkins is no tinger resident OF the
The principal issue between these
gentlemen seems to be the prepara-
tion OF the white Way" contract, and
their disagreement as to the few de-
these details as of little Importance
in the main, Capt. Watkins makes
this statement: "Whatever may have
been the facts of the preparation of
the contract. was called upon to ap-
prove 1t. and did approve it. and hav-
ing done 80 would not suffe; myself
to be employed as an attorney to de-
ny or contest It's validity even though
I did not in express terms, as I am
informed he did, assure my client
that It was a valid contract"
Capt. Watkins expresses the opin-
ion that seems to be prevalent over
tho city. and accepted as correct by
many OF those who have discussed
the matter. that even IL "the city could
avoid. It's agreement. would hang
my head in shame before even sug-
gesting that My Town is ready to
repudiate It's contract. 1t would shame
me to- think that any citizen would
do 80 after he had sat quietly and al
lowed the company to spend immense
sums of money on the faith of the con-
tract, and knowing that these expen-
ditures had been accepted by the city.
and had added greatly to It's upbuild-
ing and convenience"
Capt. Watkins severses the posi-
tions OF the city and the company for
the sake of argument, and makes
telling comparison. He argues that
it.is moral question as well as one
of law. and that the city. should stand
on hs high ground as the company
DOES. He concludes his article 4with d
statement of his belief .Ip the iiteg-

KEEP WARSH|PS FROM NEW WORLD Is Plan of the Pan-American Nations Which Suffer Because of Euro-
 pean War.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-A con- ference was held yesterday by Sec retary of State w. J. Bryan and the representatives of twenty American republics to arrange if possible with the belligerents in the present war to have them agree that the steamship lanes of travel between North and South America shall be free from warships of all nations.
 The Pan-American nations are anx- ious to have business conditions re- sumed in South America as the finan- cial depression threatened ruin for all the smaller countries. It is hoped to have the belligerents agree to keep their warships from the American waters and all of them operate on the high seas many miles from the lanes of travel.
 The plan has been suggested to the representatives here of England, France, Russia, Germany and Austria, and it is hoped that it will be ap- proved by the nations at war.

FLETCHER WANTS
 A BIGGER NAVY
Present Fighting Force To En. gage Strong Nation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Rear Ad- mlral Frank F. Fletcher, who was witness before the Senate Military Affairs Committee today, told the committee that the United States is totally unprepared for war at this time with frst-class power. On land and sea the American fighting force is inferior to any of the powers and it would require several years of con- stant endeavor to bring the fighting force to the standard it should be in order to give the United States pro- lection from foreign aggression.
 The rear admiral insisted that the navy should be greatly strengthened SO that it could provide protection from invasion while the army was being organized. "A strong, powerful, efficient navy would give to the mili- tary authorities the time needed to prepare and properly organize land fighting forces and without the navy the country would be crushed before an opportunity to organize and equip the immense reserve fighting strength of the nation was given the United States by the power or powers with which we might be at war;" said the admiral.

More Treasures for Us.

LONDON, Dec. 10-According to art dealers, many well-known families here will be forced at the conclu- sion of the war to get rid of art ob- jects of great value. The heirs of some prominent families have been killed in battle, and 1t is believed that this will mean the dispersal of some famous collections. Speaking of this, a dealer said today that for a long time after the war art dealers woz:d have to look to America and its millionaires for the disposal of works of art.
 It was said at Christie's today that no auction sales had been planned for months to come. Dealers seen here said they had no commissions from Americans for purchases of art ob- jects at present.
