U. S. AT MERCY OF JAPS
IN west, SAYS WORKS
California Senator Says They Could
Mobilize 10000 Within
Our Borders.

The Pacific coast il at the mercy Of
$4,000 wcll-trained Japanese veteran
troops. already within the borders OF
California. ready to mobilize and consti-
tute perfectly organized fighting ma
chine an instant after a declaration OF
war between the United States and
Japan.
Senator Works. Republican. of Califor-
MIA. yesterday startled the Senate by
declaring that information to this effect
had recently been laid before the War
Department. In addition to this. he pre-
sented figures to show that by gradually
replacing laborers with Russo-Japanese
war veterans in Hawaii. Japan has prac-
tically accomplished the occupation OF
the islands. In Mexico. Japan has been
quietly landing thousands of men who
could quickly organize and march across
the border to attack the United States,
he declared.
Mr.. Works pointed ont that while our
present relations with Japan were friend
ly and were likely to continue so. yet
the growing density of population in Jap
an required territorial expansion and tha t
this condition had already brought IT
into conflict with the United States over
the exclusion policy.
He proposed bill creating an army Of
10000 men to be known as the mobile
land force and military reserve for the
national defense of tho Pacific coast.
These men, In times Of peace, would cul-
tivate lands furnished for their use and
perform manual labor In the forestry
and reclamation service or public works
under the direction OF the Secretary OF
the Interior.

Der Of important points on the Atlantic
seaboard. according to letter from
Admiral George Dewey to Representative

Mr.. Gardner yesterday In a speech In the
House.
The coast OF Massachusetts. says
Admiral Dewey, H. especially vulnerable
and he also cites ''the eastern end and
south shore Of Long Island and In the
Delaware and Chesapeake bays.
"It Is true that a large hostile force
can land on the open coast wherever the
transports can get within reasonable dis
tance of the shore. and especially So
wherr their landing Is covered by the

the landing be- opposed by the troops;

New York, Dec. 1s.-Here Is q real
money romance that makes the imag-
mary Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford seem
like piker
There is another big difference, also.
in this story OF sudden wealth. The prin-
cipal character did not resort to shady
or even sharp practices. On the contrary,
the fortune came purelyDbecause he in
convenienced himself to help friend.
Instead of being the reward OF shrewd-
ness. it was the reward of loyalty. Now
to get to the plot.
Has Chance for Title.
There is no better known family in
all OF old England than the Cecils. At
one time they owned hundreds OF acres
right in the heart Of London. much Of
it along the Strand. The famous Hotel
Cecil was named for them and stands
on what was once their property. So
does the Savoy. All that land was theirs
except the little plot which by treaty
for two centuries belonged to the dukes
of Savoy and was foreign country In
the middle of the English capital. The
family Is also a noble one. It's as full
of titles as a German regiment. There
arc some five or six Lord Cecils in Eng
land now. The titles are about all that's
left. for the land has pretty well gone.
They have more handles to their names
than thev have pounds in their pockets.
Harry Cecil never had title. as he is
Of a younger branch. but ] believe there
is a chance of his coming into one some
day. It's a Northumberland family. and
Harry Cecil has the north country ac-
cent. He also has wonderful fund OF
good nature a bulldog loyalty and stead
fastness and a manner and look OF an
outdoor man. Everybody likes him and
he likes everybody. Unlike Wallingford.
il never occurred to him to try to get
the best of another, and he certainly
wouldn't want to.
When / first made his ACQUAINTANCE IN
London, five or six years ago. he had
travelling with him as sort of secrc-
tary a square-faced. north country wom-
man whose family had been retaincrs of
the Cecils for generations. Let me add
that there was no suggestion OF i'm
propriety in their relations. She was in
valuable to Cecil-wrote his letters. en-
ga ged his rooms, paid his bills, packed
his trunks and bought his tickets. l
called her his she valet and Cecil liked
the nickname so we'll he adopted 1t.
Copper Didn't Go Well.
Yesterday some one slapped me- a stag
ScrinE blow on the hack. 1t was Harry
Cecil. big. smiling and red faced.

BLAME MEDIC0S FOR DRUGS.
student of Alcohol Says Half of Pre-
scriptions Provide "Dope."

Blame for the widespread use Of drugs
i'm the United States was laid on the
shoulders of the medical profession by
speakers at the closing session Of the
forty-fifth annual meeting of the Amer
ican Society for the Study of Alcohol
and other Narcotics. The session closed
yesterday afternoon with a symposium
on cigarettes.
DR.. Oscar NJ. Leiser. director OF the
Bureau of Public Health and Education
of New York City. made the charge that
so little time is given to the writing of
prescriptions in the medical schools Of
the country that when a young physician
begins to practice he uses a certain set
of stock prescriptions which contain al
cohol or opium.
DIR. Leiser declared that more than %
per cent Of 1000 prescriptions examined
bv him in New York contained habit
forming drugs.
