Naval Architects Hear
How Islands Could
Be Grabbed.
FORTIFIED BASE
NEEDED IN GUAM
Need of Fleets, Guns and Mines
to Protect Stations Urged
to Arouse Nation.

Speaking Of preparedness, it's time
for Uncle Sam TO turn around and take
look at the Pacific Too long has the
tutelary warder of American liberties
been peering out across the Atlantic,
while lust behind his back his island
possessions lie unprotected in the Pa
cifc, ready TO be seized by some enter
prising enemy.
This note of warning, sounded by
Captain A. p. Niblack, U. S. N, at the
twenty-third meeting of the Society Of
Naval Architects and Marine Engineers
at the Engineering Societies Building
80 West Thirty-ninth Street, yesterday
met with instant approval from the
members.
ave can wiggle and squirm and
make wry face over paying the DILL
but we can never evade ultimately the
cost of adequately terrifying naval
base in the island Of Guam" Captain
Niblack said, "and in a lesser degree
in the island Of Tutuila, in the Archi-
pelago of Alaska, and on Midway ISL
and. lust as we have already begun the
good work in the Hawaiian Islands and
at Balboa, at the Pacific end of the
Panama Canal
Captain Niblack stressed the impor-
lance of these Pacific islands as coal
ing stations for the fleet that must
protect American commerce with the
Orient and the fishing industries and
rich coal fields in Alaska, "the store
house of the future" "Fuel means the
ability to deliver the blow without de-
Law" he said. Delay means the loss
Of initiative. Operations can only be
based on available means, and, IN mod
ern war, you cannot plan and then as
scmble stores to execute ,he plan. AS
sources of supply thess islands are
as valuable TO the enemy as to US, UNI
less we fortify them adequately and
defend them with submarines, torpedo
boats and mine devices"
Looking across the Atlantic, we have
always accepted d defensive role Cap
tain Niblack said. "and talked, and
thought. and built TO repel an enemy II
he should come. This habit Of thought,
of waiting for something, of holding
back, of expecting things to come to
us. has almost destroyed our initiative,
has kept back our foreign trade and
almost driven our flag from the ocean:
We have reasoned that our feet would
give US time to bring up our supposed
reserves and enable us to raise an
army of volunteers. Facing this COM
Portable solution, we have turned our
back upon the Pacific.
"But the Pacific permits to us no
defensive policy such as we have soft

CLARK OFFERS WILSON AID
Discusses National Defence with the
President.

Washington, Nov. 19.-Champ Clark,
Speaker of the House, told President
Wilson to-day that he favored ma
tional defence programme within rea--
sonable limits. He had not committed
himself to the details Of the admins
trations proposed army and navy IN
creases because he had not thoroughly
considered them, but he believed the
coming Congress would work out sat
isfactory legislation.
al only talked to the President for q
few minutes" said the Speaker. Il
frankly said that l would be in favor
of legislation which would assure rea-
sonable defence for the country against
any possible enemy. did not go into
details. For one thing, / think that
there might be difficulty in working
out the plan for raising the so-called
Continental army, but l am confident
that the Congress will work out gen.
eral scheme of increased defences
which will be satisfactory to every
body"

ened ourselves TO In the Atlantic. Our
coast line extends TO Guam, even II we
should scuttle in the Philippines"
"The cost for one day of the war
now going on in the world would Sc
cure the Pacific Coast from invasion
for all time. Every one knows this,
but, like the Jews of old. we consider
ourselves the chosen people, and the
voices Of those who could pilot the job
as those crying in the wilderness or
local politics. II it is true that the
people really rule this country-and
they are constantly told they do-and
yet shrink from facing the issues which
involve any sacrifice Of their time,
pleasure or comfort, then the standard
of citizenship is perillously low and
government by the people is seriously
on trial"
In paper on 1.-THE Submarine Of To-
day and Tomorrow" l.. Y. Spear pre-
dicted the doom of the small harbor
defence type, and said that the coast
defence and the cruising feet subma-
rines will be developed in the future.
Submarine engineers may be forced to
employ in the immedi future, he
said, a steam plant TO meet the demand
for a surface speed Of 20 knots or
more.

eermany's Dead Letter Mail.

The German post Office is to spare
the feelings, so far as possible, of the
families of soldiers who have fallen
in battle, when mail matter, nondeliv-
cradle for that reason, is returned to
the sender. Hitherto 1t was the GUS
tom to stamp on the letter or package
merely the word fallen" or dead"
and send 1t back home to shock the
relatives with this harsh brevity. Now
the military authorities have been d.
rected to use the words fallen for the
fatherland," or fallen on the field of
honor"
In still another way the authorities
are trying to soften the blow of death
notices from the front. Hitherto this
was attempted only in country dis
tricts. where the returned mail of the
fallen soldiers was handed over to the
local authorities or the clergyman,
who then undertook to break the fatal
news gently to the family. Something
like this Is now to be done also in the
towns and cities. The local authori-
ties will now be asked to select some
person suitable for bearing the mes
sage of death.

BROTHERS IN MISERY
CoMRADESHlP OF WOUNDED ON
The BATTLEFIELD.
Letter Written to His Fiancee by
Dying French Officer Reveals
Triumph Of the Finer Feel
inos Of Humanity.


A letter, which is among the most
moving documents written since the
beginning Of the war, has been re-
ceived by a young American woman in
Paris. 1t was written by her iance,
a French cavalry officer, as he lay
dying in Flanders, and with the letter
she received the news of his death.
After narrating how he was wound
ed in the chest during a cavalry
charge and temporarily lost conscious
ness, the writer goes n
There are two other men lying
near me and | do not think there is
much hope for them, either. One is
an officer of a Scottish regiment and
the other a private in the uhlans.
They we're struck down after me
them bending ove me, rendering first
aid. The Britisher was pouring water
down my throat from his flask, while
the German was ~endeavoring to
stanch my wound with an antiseptic
preparation served out by their med
zeal corps.
THE Highlander had one of his legs
shattered and the German had several
pieces of shrapnel buried in his side.
In spite of their own sufferings they
we're trying to help me, and when |
was fully conscious again the German
gave me a morphia injection and took
one himself. His medical corps had
also provided him with the injection
and the needle, together with printed
instructions for it's use.
After the injection. feeling wonder
fully at ease, we spoke of the lives we
had lived before the war. We all
spoke English, and we talked of the
women we had left at home. Both the
German and the Britisher had only
been married a year.
II wondered, and | suppose the 9th
ers did, Thy we had fought each other
at all. looked at the Highlander,
who was falling to sleep exhausted,
and in spite of his drawn face and
mud-stained uniform, he looked the
embodiment of freedom. Then
thought of tn. tricolor of France and
all that France had done for liberty.
"Then ! watched the German, who
had ceased to speak. He had taken a
prayer book from his knapsack and
was trying to read a service for sol
diers wounded in battle"
The letter ends with a reference to
the failing light and the roar of guns

Original Turnpike.

It was formerly the custom to OBJ
tain the funds to maintain principal
thoroughfares by collecting a toll from
those using them. Pixies or gates
were set across the roads by the keep
er or toll collector.
To prevent people who travelled his
road from passing without paying the
toll he was armed with a pike. a long
handled stick with a sharp iron head
This was put acros as a barrier, and
when the toll was paid 1t was turned
aside to permit the carriage or wagon
to pass on Its way. Hence the name
turnpike.

SOME FORMS OF RHEUMATISM
DURABLE

rheumatism is a disease character
lied by pains in the joints and in the
muscles. The most common forms are:
Acute and Chronic rheumatism, Rheu-
matte Headaches, Sciatic Rheumatism
and Lumbago. All of these types can
be helped absolutely by applying some
good liniment that p~enetrates. An ap-
phcation of Sloan's Liniment two or
three times a day to the affected part
will give instant relief. Sloan's Lini-
ment is good for pain, and especially
Rheumatic pain, because it penetrates
to the seat of the trouble, soothes the
afflicted part and draws the pain.
