Isolation and Panama Canal
Offer Natural Military

lection to u. S.

Asserting that it would be the
height of folly for Germany or France
or Japan to send a neet OF vessels
across the Atlantic or Pacific to attack
the United States. j. c. Hall, repre-.
senting the Carnegie endowment for
International peace of New York, de-
hvered an address on "One Hundred
Years Of Peace" before chautauqua
audience yesterday afternoon
He sought to create the opinion
that our navy and army was sum.
GENTLY large to represent the stand.
ing military strength of this nation
and that greater preparations for
defense should not be made.
The advantages of our geographical
| isolation which he said Afforded great
protection and the Panama canal,
which, he claimed, with its completion,
doubled the military strength of our
navy, were sufficient to prevent the
success of an armed force in a posi-
BILE attack on the country.
The speaker measured the strength
Of our navy according to the square
mile OF territory we possess and said
that under this comparison the United
States had greater naval power than
Gerat Britain.
AT the present moment" declared
Mr.. Hall. I'VE have in continental
America, $4,000 men of the regular
army, 100000 men who have served il
the army or the navy, we have 129. 900
men of the militia and at least 10000
men who have received instruction
under regular army officers in various
military schools
THE nearest rival we have to fear
is not less than 1000 miles across the
Atlantic and on the west We are sep
arated by 5000 miles of the Pacific.
1--WE do not need a larger standing
army. No country could land a single
soldier as long as our feet remained
affoat and our submarines would send
to the bottom hostile vessels approach
ing our shores
Mr.. Hall said $3.50. 100000 was ap.
propriated by congress last year for
naval purposes as compared to an ap.
preparation of $4,000 in 1857.

LIVERPOOL, Aug. 24.-There has
just returned to the front somewhere
in France" one of the most daring air
men in the British service. 1t has
been his first visit home for seven
months, and his well-earned rest has
lasted just four days. He has taken
part in at least a dozen great air raids,
and was not far away on the famous
occasion when Commander Samson,
the greatest airman in the British ser
vice nearly escaped capturing the kai-
ser himself. The Germans have offer
ed thousand pounds for the capture
Of Samson, dead or alive.
Here are a few pages copied from

fought battle with submarines, aero.

Pierson admits he has been very
fond of Miss Blanche Ward, South
Sixth and c streets, ever since he
boarded at the home of her parents
two years ago when he was employed
at the National Automatic Tool works.
The police say that he purchased pois-
on last evening after he had called
at the home of Miss Ward. They say
that he became very Respondent when
he learned that she had been receiving
the attentions of another young man.
Pierson told reporters that he had
been having 'spats' with Miss Ward
in their correspondence, and that he
came here to see her. He did not
state, however, what the result was Of
his call upon her last night.
Purchases Arsenic.
The police say that Pierson pur-
chased arsenic at a Main street phar-
macy, and upon leaving the store in
formed some men of his intention of
taking it. They took it away from
him. Then he went to another phar-
macy and tried to purchase another
kind of deadly drug, but he was turn
ed down. The case was reported to
the police, and Pierson was taken into
custody for safe keeping. His Palm
Beach suit when he appeared in the
sergeant's office this morning gave ev-
idence that he had spent a restless
night.
When seen at her home Miss Ward
said she had never been engaged to
Pierson, and had always regarded him
just as good friend" She was sur

ened to kill himself. She said he had
made no such threat in her presence,
and appeared to be in cheerful mood
when he left the house. She said she

icongress must not magnify itself. The

The executive must not call himself
"the government" He is only one
third of the federal government; a
highly respected part of our triune
government, It is true; but he Is NOT

statement Is misleading to the cred

of that great committee will be con-
ferred upon Representative Kitchin OF
North Carolina because he was the
leading democratic member of the
committee in the last congress. He
will thus become the floor leader OF
his party, taking the place Of former
Representative Oscar Underwood, now
a senator from Alabama.
Claude Kitchin is a pronounced
ultra free trader, and he will not take
kindly to legislation tending towards
protection, although business inter
ests are impelIing such legislation. Out
of the mass of bills which will be In
troduced, the committee on ways ana
means will formulate bill which
will meet with the approval OF the
democratic majority, and will there

senate for the consideration of that
body.
Here it should be stated with some
emphasis that, while the constitution
does not permit the senate to orig
mate revenue legislation, the power of
amendment Is conferred upon that
branch Of the congress. Under that
constitutional power the senate always
rernodels legislation, and the senate
will polish Off the Kitchin bill, no mat

after all, you see the senate will have
the last word.

Under no circumstances will the

He believes in the fullest possible

ployed in his enterprises, regardless
