Champ Clark for Preparedness.

At the Liberty Bell ceremonies held
at the San Francisco exposition Sat
day Mr.. Clark said:
Il differ with the proponents OF
peace at any price That is an amaz-
ing, a demoralizing, degrading doc
trine.
"On the other hand, am utterly
opposed to those who advocate
large standing army, and to those
who advocate a navy equal TO the
two biggest navies in the world. L
am not a lingo. God forbid. | hope
most profoundly there will never be
another war-particularly another TO
which we are party. but knowing.
that human nature has not changed
lot or title since Adam and Eve were
driven with flaming swords frcin
Paradise. | am in favor of putting
the country i'll such posture that II
war Should for any reason become
necessary we may emerge from IL
conqueror. as we have been IN all our
wars.
When the subject of an adequate
national defense is presented IN the
next House Mr.. Clark is expected to
take part in the debate. and he
should prove of value to the cause.
Stripped as he will be again OF the
Dower that long attached to the OF
fee he will then hold. he will yet pos
sess untrammeled his gift of oratory
and his right to leave the chair tenn
porarily and express his views on
the floor as member OF the House.
What his power in debate is there
have been many instances since he
entered Congress. By its exercise
h. reached the position of minority
leader of the House. and from that
was promoted to the speakership. In
the last Congress. differing as he did
with the President on the Panama
canal tolls question. he descended
from the chair to the floor, and not
only made the best speech on his
side of the question. but polled
surprisingly large vote for his con-
tention. His appearance was the
most exciting feature of the whole
controversy.
Mr.. Clark's help may be needed.
The pacihcists are organizing
"drive" from which they have strong
hopes. Peace societies, church IN
fuences and domestic agencies are
being asked to unite their influences
for effect on Congress. The charge
will be that all who are asking IN
creases in our army and navy estab-
lishments are jingoes seeking trou-
Bile, and certain to find it IT success
full in securing large appropriations
for their program
This is. of course. a mistaken ap-
praisement of the matter. Mr.. Clark
does not like the designation of
lingo. No more do others to whom
the pacifcists apply it. The propo-
sition is not for a large standing
army. or for covering the seven seas
with American battleships, but only
for putting the country in such pos
ture that If war should for any rea-
son DcSOllt necessary VIC may ehiei ~
from it conqueror, as we have been
in all our wars.
Our condition today is reflection
on our intelligence. What the world
is we all know. What awaits d coun-
try unpreparcd to resist force with
force has been illustrated thousand
times.

BERLIN, March Sit Greece Joins
the war another great conflaGration Of
hostilities will sweep across the BAL
kans. This il the prediction made by
the German press today In comment
ing upon the political crisis In the
Hellenic kingdom Of Constantine.
The Teutonic paper discuss the
Greek situation on the assumption
that Premier veniselos wanted war
while the king and probably General
Dousmanis, chief of staff Of the Greek
army, wanted continued neutrality.
In the Tageblatt, Theodore Wolf, a
student Of politics says:
Although 20 has taken a bold step
the Greek king has not freed himself
permanently from war enthusiasts. M.
Venizelos has a loyal majority In the
chamber of deputy while q majority
Of the newspapers and the Coffee
House orators are for England and
France.
1T another Dardanelles fort falls all
kinds of popular demonstrations Will
be seen in the streets of Athens. But,
although the king can apparently
count upon the army, the coffee
house orators are less dreadful than
they appear to be-" ,-.
I'm view of the tremendous popular
ity Of ventzelos the role assumed by
King Constantine is not a light one"
says the Lokal Anzreiger. But he
should not find 1t difficult to prove to
the people that any abandonment of
neutrality by Greece would instantly
bring other Balkan peoples on the
scene and very quickly set the Balk-
ans again on fire"

points In an Official British statement

"Our front remains practically I'M
changed. Our mastery over hostile
snipers in the vicinity of La Bassee is
maintained. Similar conditions have
been produced on other portions Of our
front. notably in the vicinity of Ypres.
The result was primarily due to indi-
vidual initiative, assisted by success
full mining operations. On the night OF
March Sc a mine was exploded under
a German trench southeast of Ypress
and several of the enemy were killed.
The mine crater was temporary occu-
pied by our troops, the enemy's trench
on either side being rendered useless.
On several sections of our front the
enemy's artillery fire has been much
heavier, but the result was slight"
