WANTS WEST POINTFORROSES
Would Turn 1t Into Floral Conserva-
tory and Send Boys Home-Advises
Closing Up Annapolis-Bullets Eas-
Ter to Manage Than Ballots

'fTurn West Point into rose con-
servatory and send the boys home
then close up Annapolis is the adj
wise given by JenkinLloyd Jones,
pacifst, and sage of Tower Hill, at a
meeting Of the Woman s alliance Tues
day afternoon in the residence of Mrs.
S. Gottlieb, 1872 Prairie avenue.
Mr. Jones has no time for Roose-
velt's latest slogan "To He'll With
the Hyphen.'' In opposition to that
sentiment the patriarchal lecturer said
he had no patience with patriotism
that doesn t reach round the globe or
with love of country that doesn It
embrace every country.
~ have no heart in bumptious dread
of hyphens. / say the more hyphens
the better" he asserted. 81 do not
like the oath of naturalization in the
United States which requires renounce-
ment Of fealty to one s native land"
Mr.. Jones doesn t care how much he
is called mollycoddle, sissie or similar
epithets which he says are being hurl-
cd at the pacifsts.
81 believe the problems Of peace call
for higher heroism than those of war, =
said the speaker, himself veteran
with a record of three years of honor
able service in the civil war.
Many a man did heroic duty with
bullets who has since disgraced him
self with the ballot.
1t is easier to follow the flag three
years on the battlefield than to do
one 3 duty as a citizen after the war
is over"
The speaker asserted that the paci-
fists are no idle dreamers, but have a
concerted plan of action mapped out.
First, they want, he says, not ma
tional armies, but an international po-
lice force to enforce the laws of par
lament of the world, and an interna-
tional court of arbitration.
They want q pledge from nations to
present matters Of dispute for arbitra-
tion and to abide by the courts deci-
sion
strategic position to successfully be-
gin work of securing permanent peace.
Mr.. Jones says the men who are agi-
Eating for war afen t the ones who will
90 to the front and fight if it is
declared. Nor, he is certain, will the
future protectors i'll case of war be
the regular army men who wear kid
gloves and eat six course dinners at
1T. Sheridan and other garrisons.
S'The future protectors of the
country are the mechanics, farmers,
artisans and the intelligent products of
our public schools.
The boasted regulars were not Civ
en- the places Of danger in the civil
war We volunteers had reason to look
askance at the regulars"
He said he had faith we are leaving
behind the "wretched philosophy that
safety lies in pugilism or militarism 2
He said the pacifsts are confronted
with three tremendous fallacies: that
are:
First-The belief that war NAV be
made so terrible people will cease to
fight. But he said human nature is
gritty and cannot be scared into peace
and there is no scheme SO dangerous or
adventurous but that some will under
take it.
Second-That war is such an econo-
mic waste that preachers and diplo-
mats and bankers and business men
viii unite to prevent it.
Third-That preparedness will pre-
vent war. But he said these have all
been proven fa1lacious.
His idea of armed neutrality. he
said, is Illustrated by herd of horned
cattle.
I'm horned herd the slightest dis
agreement gets all to fighting, goring
and ripping up each other, = he said.
When all are dehorned the entire
heed unites against the winter sleet
and summer flies. .
This, re said is analogous to the
result which win follow the disarma.
