UNITED STATES IS
SOUNDING M|kAC0

Washington, March lS.--It is
acknowledged officially today that the
United States is making representa-
lions to Japan on the subject of the
latter's demands on China. Beyond
this admission the administration re-
fused to throw any light on the steps
taken to safeguard the open door
in China.
There is ample ground for the as
sumption. however, that this Govern
ment has not gone ~ any extreme
lenSths in opposing the japanese
policy with respect to China. In fact,
Japan has SO adroitly managed her
diplomatic exchanges with China and
the interested powers AS to make II
very difficult tor any government to
interpose at this time more than
friendly suggestion. Any attempt TO
ga. farther watslsl lay. the protesting
government open to a charge OF I'M

Navies Not Weakened BY War.

Ii is true that nations cannot invade
this country without strong navies, but
that the navies of the great powers
viii be weakened by this war is a
delus!on. Construction abroad has been
so feverishly rapid that, despite heavy
losses on all sides, the net result is,
and will probably remain, gain. Japan
has lost virtually nothing. Germany 8
battle feet is intact and is likely TO
stay so, since "forlorn hope" sorties
and Cast ditch" fighting seem to have
no place in German strategy, which
apparently puts its trust only in attack
in overwhelming force.
Equally, 1t seems illusory TO believe
thai European nations will be so eX-
hausted when peace shall come, so
weary Of war, that any aggression
anywhere will be impossible. On the
contrary, the second Balkan war fol-
lowed the first very closely, and as
soon as our own Civil War had ended
our government sent General Sheridan
with 100000 men to the Rio Grande
to drive the French and Austrians GU;
OF Mexico.
In view of present international con-
ditions and of the grave dangers which
may confront this country in the near
future, there seems TO be no question
that our government should prepare
fully against war. In the words OF
that veteran military critic, Colonel
Church, "ln preparedness lies national
safety. SO it has always been, and so
it will always be-until the angels
dwell among men"

der in some foreign country. Based
on the experience gained from many
expeditions" General Barnett says, Il
am strongly Of the opinion that a mo-
bile force Of not less than thirty-fve
hundred men should be maintained on
the Eastern coast, and one Of not less
than twelve hundred men on the West
ern coast. These forces would also be
in readiness at all times for service as
part Of the garrison Of advance bases,
acting as supports TO the fixed defence
force, by protecting the base from hos
tile landing parties. This duty is Of
very great Importance, as fortified har-
bors are very vulnerable TO this form
Of attack. approximately three thou
sand additional men are needed for this
purpose"
The report shows that 40 per cent OF
the total enlisted strength OF the corps
have qualified as marksmen in rifle
practice. The full strength Of the corps
on September 80 last was 344 officers
and 1919 men, divided about equally
between shore and sea duty.
The report shows that General Bar
nett recommended two brigadier gen.
erals for the corps. and that Secretary
Daniels asked Congress for only one.

RESCUED U-B0AT VICTIMS
Steamer Bound for Boston Picked Up
Crew of Sunken British Ship.

Boston, Dec 20. The British
steamer Lord Cromer, which arrived
here to-day from Calcutta, reports tho
rescue Of a boatload Of men from the
British freighter Clan Macleod, which
was sunk in the Mediterranean by a
submarine. The Lord Cromer picked

who had been wounded by shells, and
forty-cight members OF the crew. All
were landed at AlGiers. Another boat.
containing twenty OF the Macleod 5
men. was missing at the time.
Captain Goodwin told officers of the
Lord Cromer that his vessel, on Ad-
miralty business, was sunk By the sub
marine on November 80. The Clan
Macleod had been ordered 10 stop but
the captain sent his ship full speed
ahead and was shelled by the subma-
rine until he signalled surrender and
ordered his men to the boats Captain
Goodwin lost his right hand and leg.
while several other members Of the
crew were killed or seriously injured.

U. S. NIILITARISM
LIKE PORCUPINE
Wouldn't Attack Rat, but
Could Repel Lion, Says
WOOdhOuSe.

Replying to letter in which Claude
Kitchin, House leader, defended his
stand against preparedness, Henry
Woodhouse gave out last night at the
Aero Club OF America a communication
20 Mr.. Kitchin defining the ethics OF
preparedness. Mr.. Woodhouse, who IS
governor of the Aero Club, member Of
the conference committee on national
preparedness and the National Security
League and Of Mayor Mitcheps Com
mittee Of One Thousand, groups kitchin
with BRYAN, Representative Bailey and
C.. II. Trayenner He says that grave
responsibility rests upon their shou!-
ders because OF their opposition to
military preparedness in the United
States to-day.
Missionary militarism" is the name
Woodhouse gives 10 American militar-
ism 10 distinguish it from continental
militarism. The American brand is
harmless except in defence-a sort OF
porcupine that wouldn't attack a white
rat but could repel q lion. For proof
Mr.. Woodhouse turned TO the history
Of The American army in Cuba and
Vera Cruz, where the natives were
taught the ten commandments OF Nv
ing, were given an ethical code and
were left a hundred times better Off.
Mr. " oodhouse's letter IN part says:
People Of narrow perspective, given
TO babbiing without due consideration
of the facts, have heretofore asserted
that no foreign nation could land an
army OF any size on this continent.
Some people are prone to overlook the
fact that ten foreign powers have well
trained and well equipped armies OF
from 100000 to 100000 men each.
Surely, then, this nation is not insane
becauss it demands that Congress pro-
vide a navy equal TO the best and
standing army Of $4,000 TO 100000
men ard a we'll equipped reserve militia
or continental army.
IF we but provide adequate defence
and prevent the fire Of war from
spreading we shall, when the present
war ends. Immediately be in a position
to foster the development OF the move
ments which promise to evolve world
peace. starting at the very point where
the progress OF these movements were
halted BY the war. There must be
world court To be listened to, until
the nations of the world become accus-
toned to submitting their differences
to the court and accepting its verdicts
as final. the court will need the support
of armed forces. This court will come
as soon as there is sufficient armed
force in the hands of peaceful people
20 enforce the verdicts of the court"
