BAKER SAYS READINESS
ONLY CAN ASSURE PEACE
War Secretary Says Ameri-
cans Are More Inclined to
Eagle Than to Dove
(By Associated Press. }

PHILADELPHIA, March 1S.-Secreta-
ry of War Baker, addressing the men,
bers of the University of Pennsylvania
chapter of the Phi Gamma Delta Frater-
nifty at their annual initiation dinner to-
night, said the American people are a
fighting race and because of their CHAR
acter in these respects they are more
inclined TO love the eagle than the dove.
He said peace can only be assured by
preparedness to resist invasion.
Mr.. Baker spoke of the American
troops crossing the Mexican border and
promised that the American people
would be well satisfied with what Is be-
ing done in Mexico and the result to be
obtained there.
Addressing the undergraduates par
ticularly, Secretary Baker charged them
to be ready at all times to fulfill the
duty of young Americans by being in
{. position TO respond to the call OF the
nation in case of need.
The secretary told the diners that
while he was a member of virtually ev-
cry peace organization in the country,
he felt that peace could not always be
obtained merely for it's own sake. Peace,
he said, in the abstract, indicates re-
firing disposition, but that in the final
analysis 1T could only be assured by pre-
paredness to resist invasion.
Aside from his reference to prepared
ness, secretary Bakers speech was de-
voted to the value of fraternities. He
left late tonight for his home in Cleve-
land,

GERMANY IS FACING HER
FIRST INTERNAL CRISIS
Resignation of Won Tirpitz
PrecipitateS Serious Stu
alton, Says Berlin Press
lBy Associated Press.)

BERLIN March 17.-(Nia London,
March I9D-The Cologne Gazette says
the resignation of Admiral Won Trpitz
signaIizes the first serious crisis in
Germany since the beginning of the war.
whereas in hostile countries there have
been several reorganizations Of min
istries.
The Gazette SAYS the admirars retire
ment does not signify abandonment of
the submarine campaign which as shown
by news dispatches of the last few
weeks is in full swing. 1t is not yet
known publicly, the Gazette continues,
whether or to what extent the admiraPs
resignation was connected with the sub
marine question, but there appears in
cipient signs in the press, the reich
stag and the Prussian chamber that an
effort is being made to bring public
opinion TO the view that submarines
should not be used to such an extent and
in such a manner as is necessitated by
war, which is only another name for
a means OF subduing the enemies OF the
nation by force.
The newspaper argues that such an
attempt to bring the pressure of public
opinion to bear upon Germany's methods
OF conducting the war does not har-
monte with German military traditions.
This argument is supported by long
diversion into the recent history of
France. Italy and Russia to prove that
public opinion drives the military au-
thorities into disastrous strategy.
emperor William" says the Overseas
agency, has written a letter to Grand
Admiral Won Tirpitz expressing his re-
grets at the admirars resignation and
thanking him for the excellent services
rendered the country during his long
career as creator and organizer of the
German navy.
"The emperor at the same time order
ed that the name of Admiral Won Tirpitz
should continue on the navy list and
further bestowed upon him the star OF
grand commander of the order of the
House of Hohenzollern, with swords.
