Princeton President Wants U. S.
to Be Ready TO Offset Initial
Sacrifice of Lives
ST1RS MOHONK CONFERENCE
Not a Question of Mere Academic
Interest, He Tells the
Delegates
By associated Press

Mohonk Lake. n. Y, May 19.-Dr.
John Grier Hibben, president of
Princeton University, stirred the Lake
Mohonk Conference on International
Arbitration to-day by taking issue
with paciticists who favor disarma-
ment and by advocating "a wise pre-
paredness of our military forces in the
United States"
Il do not advocate preparedness
for war;" he said, but a preparedness
against war-a preparedness which in
the event of the catastrophe of war
itself will prevent the enormous initial
sacrifice of human lives which has
characterized every war in which the
United States have been engaged
throughout our past history.
mo one can be so blind regarding
the significance of present conditions
as to take the position that a grave
national emergency is not at least a
possibility.
IT am not in sympathy with the
peace propaganda which is being pros
at least, as it endeavors to quicken
the peace sentiment by impressing up
on the minds of the young children
the horrors of the economical losses of
war"
Obligations Swept Away
Without naming any OF the belliger-
ents, DR.. Hibben asserted that one fall
lacy tending to obstruct the progress
of peace was that this present ter
rible war has developed certain prac-
tices and usages which will revolu-
tioniZe the accepted restrictions of in

Germany Wants U. S. to
influence Great Britain

Zeitung says: "If America succeeds
in bringing it about that the British
merchant vessels shall no longer sail
under false flags, that England shall
cease arming merchant vessels and
that contraband cargoes shall no long
er. be protected by American passen-
gers, then the United States will find
Germany on her side in an endeavor
to lead submarine war into more hui
name channels. If America fails to
influence Great Britain thus the
United States will have to put up with
submarine war. as at present waged.
She must take care that her citizens
enter as little into the naval war zone
as they would into the firing line near
Arras, Lille or Przemysl."
