GEORGE WASHINGTON AS
BRITISH RECRUITING AGENT

LONDON, Nov. 2.-(By Mail. y
Words used by George Washington to
stir American patriotism during the
days of the American revolution are
used in England today to awaken the
men who remain at home in the face
OF England's great crisis.
Recruiting postets framed under
the new administration of Lord Derby,
England's chief recruiting agent,
thus quote Washington:
'lt is not sufficient for a man to
be a passive friend and well wisher
to cause. Every person should be
active in some department or other,
without paying too much attention to
private interest. Our conflict
is not likely to cease as soon as every
good man would wish. The measure
OF iniquty is not yet filled, and un-
less we can return little more to
first principles, and act little more
on patriotic grounds. do not know
when it will or what may be the issue
Of the contest"
The comment of the Derby admin
istration under this statement of
Washington's is;
"The answer was the United States

Ford holds in your company. We

US whether he has personally suffi-

pany to be able to control its policy,
even though he may not be an off

In reply dated Nov. 22, the Ford
company's publicity manager says:
I'VE shall be happy to supply the
information you desire on the under
standing that you will give US list

shareholders. their nationality and a

need much of standing army nor
much of z navy. He adds that the
Belt Line of defense system would be
economical because freight and pas
senger traffic would pay for the road
in peace time.
THE vulnerability of this country
Il attack lies in its unprotected At
lantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts. A
navy large enough to protect such a
coast line involves expenditures sure
IL arouse antagonism in a people un-
used to considering sacrifices involved
in protection against the menace of
modern warfare.
To protect these coasts with forti-
fications of the usual type is impos-
sible. An intermediate course could
be followed whereby we could hold
the combined fleets of the world at
bay without the expense of building a
navy and with practically no expendi-
trre for the usual permanent type of
coast Notifications.
would suggest that a standard
gauge, double track, military railroad
be built around our coasts; that each
standard gauge track be further guag-
ed on the outside for special trucks
for mounting mobile heavy defense
guns.
In peace time such road could earn
its own maintenance. Standard en-
gines, in wartime could move long
trains of wide gun trucks rapidly to
any part of these coasts and standard
trains could follow with troops, ma
chine guns and the like. Thus we
could employ thousands of guns
against an attacking flee of hundreds.
Coast cities like New York would be
lnted from their present defenseless-
ness.
