DECLARES AMERICA

Anti-Preparedness Committee
Sees Him in Mahan.

Washington. Feb. 25.-At the hear
ing held by the House Committee on
Foreign Affairs to-day to consider
Never LoAdon's resolution calling for
a continuous peace tribunal TO press
for a settlement Of the war the Anti
Preparedness Committee sent letter
to Chairman Flood suggesting that
such a course "would lift the stigma
of Mahanism from the United States >
I'VE are just beginning 10 realize,
saws the letter, "that in the eyes II
Europe we are regarded as having had
a Bernhard before the German Bern
hardi was articulate. European think
ers when they discuss America to-day
do not discuss our pacifism, but our
Nahanism. 1t was the late Admiral
Mahan who taught Europe the meaning
of Imperialism; it was Mahan who rldi-
culed the Hague conventions; 1t was
Mahan who Iought-and fought sue
cessfully-to keep the nations OF the
world from prohibiting the use OF gas
bombs in modern warfare. While we
conceive ourselves, and rightly so, 20
be a non-aggressive and pacific people,
it by no means follows that Europe ac-
cepts this conception of us, too. Our
imperialists have been too numerous
and too vociferous to make this possi-
Bile.
"For this reason, it would be an ad-
mirable stroke for the United States
to take the initiative in setting up
such machinery as would bring about
Just and early settlement of this
war. If people could realize that the
war was coming to a close, and that
we were in no danger of being involved
in it, nothing could persuade them. IN

Law. Secretary for the Colonies
speaking at the London School OF
Economics tonight, discussed the
problems that will arise after the war,
referring particularly to agriculture.
He declared that it was necessary Tor
England to adopt a broad programme
Of agricultural development to pre-
vent too great number OF men emil
grating to the colonies.
after the war large numbers Of our
soldiers will not be willing to go back
to tame industrial life said the
Unionist leader. "We know how i'm
rortant is the strength Of the imperial
colonies and we wish to sc them grow
in population with men Of our own
race and ideals, but we do not wan,
to see the best and most vigorous oil
our people leaving these shores, even

essential to make real efforts to place
agriculture here on an attractive and

MURDOCH SEES FAILURE
FOR VERDUN ATTACK
Says Only Commercial Struggle
Will Save u. s. from War.

Victor Murdock. former Representa-
tive from Kan 9, who arrived here
Thursday from -our months in Europe,
reafiirmed yesterday at the Hotel Astor
his warning to America and his convic-
tion that We will be at war before
many years.
There is only one thing to save this
country from an attack by one or more
nations when this war is over" he
said. THAT is the possibility of a
trade war between belligerent coun-
tries that will prevent them from turn
ing their attention to US.
"In every country, found a steadily
increasing dislike, or rather a con-
tempt. Of America, based on the fact
that we are making money out of their
suffering. II is my firm conviction tha
after peace Is signed the nations
hatred toward their enemies will
lessen in face Of their united hostility
toward us.
"And we can be invaded 1t is far
from an impossibility. | have ques-
toned military authorities in Europe.
and their conclusion is that with our
feet crippled or destroyed, we would
be at the mercy Of any great army.
Everywhere there is growing among
individuals an envy of our material
wealth and a belief in our powerless-
ness. You do not have to seek far to
obtain a casus belli in these days. Our
time is coming; you may be sure OF
that.
81 do not believe" he continued,
chat the recent German attack on YER
dun or any other assault on the west
ern front will prove worth the sacri-
flee in blood. 1t is too late for that,
and the defences that each side haj
built are too strong to be overcome.
A few miles of first or second lire
trenches may be taken, but that is ali.
! don't want to become a prophet, but
there will be a series Of Zeppelin raids
over London before the spring is over
that will raise the hair off our neutral

Stuff, ''Telcgraaf" Says.

smuggled into Germany by following
out piles. according TO the Amsterdam
"Telegraaf." Each pile contains ten

was dependent on saving every avail
able bone. to extract therefrom the
fats, glycerine and lime necessary 10
