AMERICA MUST HAVE
A POWERFUL NAVY
LARGE ARMY ALSO ADVISED BY
INVENTOR OF THE FAMOUS
MAXIM GUN

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Nov. 20-Hud-
son Maxim, inventor of many imple-
ments of war, addressing the Kansas
City Commercial Club, at its annual
dinner here last night asserted that
the only way America could be saved
from war would be to have a navy
big and powerful enough to stand
successfully against any other navy in
the world and "an army big enough
to save the country from the horrors
of defeat and humiliation, even should
our navy be destroyed"
Our little, poorly equipped army
would not be able to offer resistance
enough to make ripple in the line
Of the enemy's advance" Mr.. Maxim
said. Our army would make just
about one good days killing.
Suppose the enemy should land at
Boston or New York or at any of the
ports between. Nothing under heaven
we could do would prevent the invad-
vs. AAOiA S0PNuAAh6 lhC OhNAlO NOhhtAJ
between the Alleghanies and the sea
within two weeks" Mr. Maxim's sup
positional invasion was by first-class
European power at the conclusion of
the present conflict.
ANY one of the great warning ma
tions, if victorious" he said, would
have available several million war
tried veterans for a trial at arms with
us, and should that foreign nation be
England or Germany, 1t would have
navy far superior to our own. and.
consequently could not be opposed by
our navy. Hence that nation would
be able to land upon our shores its
legions of trained fighters. equipped
with all the paraphernalia and engin-
cry of war as fast as they could be
brought overseas"

KNOWN RESIDENT

CRED|TABLE DISPLAY
MADE BY SCHOOLS
WORK OF ToNoPAH SCHOOLS ON
DISPLAY DURING INSTITUTE
WEEK

The teachers and pupils of the To
nopah schools have been making
special effort to prepare creditable
display of school work for the week
of the teachers institute. AS the in
stitute comes early in the term this
year the time has been short for be-
ginners in manual training. cooking,
sewing and much of the handwork, to
accomplish much for display. How
ever, teachers and pupils have been
working before and after school hours,
on Saturdays, and during the even
ings and the exhibit prepared is well
worth seeing
In the grades, every room has on
display samples of the handwork
suited to the pupils of the room and
from the first primary rooms up to
the eighth grade will be seen credi-
table work in paper tearing, folding
and cutting; drawings suited to the
Thanksgiving season; illustrated stor-
les; work with raffia and reeds; coun-
try and relief map modelling; work
in sewing, in manual training, and in
mechanical drawing; and nicely
mounted specimens of literary work.
In the high school commercial de-
partment has a fine display of the
work thus far accomplished, and the
science and mathematics rooms have
displays suited to their work.
The original intention was to pre-.
pare this exhibit for the teachers at.
tending the institute and later to pre-
pare another for the patrons of the
school. AS so much of this exhibit,
however, is suited only to the Thanks
giving season and will be removed
| after the institute. II has been de.
cided to invite all the people of To
nopah who are interested in the work
OF the schools-and that means every.
body-to call at the school buildings
! and inspect the work The rooms
will be open Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, each day from 300 a. m
to p. m.

Chinese Minister to America
 To be Superseded by Dr. Roo

Washington. October 25.--The United States government has been officially ad- vised of the intention of China to send Dr. V. K. Wellington Koo to Washing ton as minister in place of Kai Flu Shah, who is being recalled. Today's announce ment from Picking followed receipt of word there through American Minister Reinsch that the American government would be pleased to receive Dr. Koo.
 The change in ministers is considered of much significance. pr. Koo is a protege of President Yuan Shi Kai and for years was his private secretary and interpreter. Since the resignation of Sun Pao Chi to the portofolio of foreign affairs. it generally has been understood that his friend, Kia Flu Shah, the present minister here, would resign. There have been intimations, too, that the latter would be recalled because it was alleged he did not furnish comprehensive reports Of the state of American public opinion or take an active part in the parleys here in connection with the recent Japanese Chinese negotiations. So far as the Wash iDgton government Is concerned, however MT. Shahs presence here has been con- tinuously acceptable
 The sending of Dr. Koo who spent eight years at Columbia university re- ce1v1ng master of arts degree and a doctorate of philosophy, is taken to indi- cate desire on the part of President Yuan Sha Kai not only to have i nthe United States a personal representative conversant with American customs and
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-10-26

diplomacy, but to be prepared in the event the European powers ultimately ac- cept American mediation in the war, to have the interests of China here in the hands of one thoroughly familiar with China's aims and aspirations. Dr. Roo is understood also to be sympathetic with the proposed change of China from a re- public to parliamentary monarchy. He took an active part in the recent Jap anese-Chinese negotiation in Peking. As under secretary of the Chinese for eign office he was one of the commits sion that conducted the parleys with the Japanese minister and is credited with having written much of China's reply to the Japanese ultimatum
 The prospective minister to the United States is under 30 years of age and speaks English perfectly. He made brilliant record in Columbia university, being elect ed to the Phi Beta Kappa society for scholarship. Besides being a friend of the President of China he is a favorite of Lou Tseng- -Tsiang, the present minister of foreign affairs. His wife is the daugh- ter of Tong Shao-Yi, the first minister of foreign affairs ofNthe new republic.
 When pr. Roo arrived in Washington three ago he had been appointed Chinese minister to Mexico. He was presented to Secretary Lansing by Kai Flu Shah, the present minister here. and MT. Lansing entertained him at dinner. Dr. Roo sailed from New York on october for France and England on a mission that has not been disclosed here. He is at present in London and is expected to return to Washington in few weeks to present his credentials.
 The Chinese legation here declined to comment on the change
