WAR WITH JAPAN
Representative Hobson Makes
Statement to House Body.
CRISIS AVERTED BY BRITAIN
laWmaker From Alabama Asserts
That Guns Were Manned and Har-
bors Mined at Manila
in 1918.

Washington, Dec. ia statement
made before the house committee on
naval affairs by Representative Hob
son of Alabama that the United
States made preparations for war in
the Pacific in May, 1913, was permit
ted to go unchallenged by Josephus
Daniels, secretary of the navy, al
though Mr.. Hobson called upon Mr..
Daniels to deny if he could, the truth
of his assertions.
Mr.. Hobson's challenge to the sec
rotary of the navy to deny that the
government was fearful of trouble
with Japan Is months ago, and that it
actually got itself in readiness for
war in that quarter was dramatic in
the extreme.
Mr.. Hobson was impelled to make
this declaration by the testimony of
Capt A. G. WHITEWATER, a member of
the navy general board, who intimated
that Mr. Hobson and many other per-
sons in the United States are con
stantly seeing visions Of war.
Denies Seeing Things"
Mr. Hobson exhibited great anger.
For my own part | have not been
seeing things" he exclaimed. I'm the
month of May, 1913, and for several
weeks thereafter our gunners at Cor
regidor island Tin the entrance to Ma
Mia harbors) stayed at their guns night
and day. The harbors were mined.
Troops were sent there. Everything
was prepared for two years siege.
Everything had been moved there ex-
cept the Manila government, which
was ready to move. | have noticed
other things from time to time"
Secretary Daniels and Captain Win
proceeded. The former made no di-
rect reply to the assertion of Mr.. Hob
son about the alleged preparations for
war on Corregidor island.
Puts 1t Up to Daniels.
Thereupon Mr.. Hobson exclaimed:
We'll, the secretary of the navy is
here. will ask him. If what | have
stated is not true, let him deny it."
Secretary Daniels looked Mr. Hob.
son squarely in the eye and made nc
response. Turning angrily toward
Captain Winterlalter, Mr. Hotson re-
marked:
Il don't want people to say any more
that | am seeing things
Mr.. Hobsons statement created
something of sensation in the com
mittee room 1t was recalled that II
was at just about the time to which
he referred that diplomatic negotia
tons were pending with Japan rela
| tive to the alien land law question in
| California The relations between the
| two countries were strained. Persons
who profess to know say that it was
