INEW POLICY FOR u. S.
Senator Cummins Says Nation Has
Shown Leaning for Peace.
full Settlement.

Senator A. B. Cummins of Iowa de-
livered his opinions on preparedness to
m embers of the Iowa State Society
meeting last night in the Raleigh
Hotel. He said he expressed the view
point of patriotic Americans of the
continental interior. He asserted the
willingness of his fellow citizens Of
Iowa to sacrifice their lives for the
principles of the American republic.
He cited the fact that America has
never been prepared in any of the wars
engaged in. and from this condition
drew the inference of the confidence of
the American people in the supremacy
of civilization to deal with all interna-
tional problems rather than an appeal
to might.

Ell PASO. Tex, April s.-Lieut. Col.
Tyree Rivers of the 18th Cavalry is
critically i'll of pneumonia at the Casas
Grandes field base.
1t was decided early today that in
order to save his life he would have to
be brought back to the military hos
pital at Fort Bliss. In order to do this
plans were set on foot to have him
brought back over the Mexican North
western railway as a private citizen.
But his condition took so serious a
turn later that the army surgeons de-
cided that it would be unsafe to move
him.

Held New Policy for U. s.

Preparedness he described as a new
policy for the United States. The Unit
ed States heretofore, he said, has never
considered the possibility of conflict
with great nations, assuming that all
disputes would yield to diplomatic pre-
sentation. The United States, he said.
has shown a disposition to peaceful
settlement of all disputes. honor and
name excepted. But if there is to be
no confidence in international justice,
the nation must be ready at notice to
repel attack.
He declared his hope that the end of
the present war in Europe would result
in a most definite understanding for
peace, something SURPRISING any previ-
Gus conception of the duties of nations.
If not. he subscribed to the plan of a
United States ready to meet any world
situation that may imperil its ideals
of civilization.
Resolutions were adopted b. the or
ganization deploring the death of Gen.
Grenville NJ. Dodge. veteran OF the cl.u

GERS of Iowa. +. A. Birgfeld gave a
