As They Think Their Wealth
Would Cause Nations to
Try to Seize Country.

HAVANA, Cuba, Jan. 20-The
question Of the increase Of the army
and navy of Cuba continues to come
UP for occasional agitation in the
press but seems to excite no popu-
lar response. The few advocates OF
Cuban preparedness" base their ar
gument on the possibility of the
United States being drawn into the
European war, In which event they
fear that the wealth Of Cuba might
excite the cupidity Of some OF the
combatants who might seize upon
Its attitude OF dependency on the
limited States as an excuse to violate
Its neutrality.
That Cuba could raise an army
of several hundred thousand men is
obvious, but there arr very few, II
any. Cubans who can zee the faintest
necessity for 1t. Crba's army as 1t
stands is large force for such a
small country to maintain. 1t Is
somewhat over ten thousand strong,
which would be about the equiva-
lent, in proportion to population, OF
n standing army Of half q million In
the United States. Its function is not
the repeliing Of foreign invasion but
the maintenauee OF domestic order
for which 1t is admirably adapted
its discipline, organization and equip
ment loving nothing to be desired
The only ofiiclal action looking even
remotely towards an increase OF the

CAIRO, ILL.,, Jan. 2O.---Dlscussing
federal legislation" F. H. Newell,
head of the engineering department
of the University of Illinois and
former chief of the United States re-
clamation service, today told the
sixth national drainage congress, in
session here that nation legislation
for food protection and the reclarna-
ton of swamp and overfowed lands
will come when all the various per-
sons interested join hands to urge
1t upon Congress. He said in part:
"A hundred million dollars in
round numbers, have been expended
by the United States In reclana-
ton work since the reclamation act
went into effect. The operations are
confined by law to the far western
states and relate primarily to needs
of agriculture in the arid or dought
stricken regions. Inseparably con-
nected with this, however, has been
the building of drainage bitches to
take away an excess of moisture and
to regulate the supply.

drought for navigation and sanitary
purposes.
With the aid of the data carefully
prepared by the flood commission, dur
ing its eight years of work, Mr.. Morse
showed how the entire flood area Of
the states through which the Allegh-
eny, Monongahelia, Ohio and Miss
issippi rivers flow could be freed from
flood damage by the construction Of
reservoirs. Mr.. Morse declared that
as the trouble originates above Pitts
burg, that is the place to make the
start. He detailed at length the eff
forts that have been made to enlist
state and national aid and indicated
that while the process was slow the
whole problem of flood prevention
would one day be solved.
Mr.. Morse stated that already legis-
lation had been passed by the states
Of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
Maryland, and by Congress looking
toward complete cooperation in rails
ing the funds necessary for flood pre-
vention work.

CONCERT OF ACTION
NEEDED NOW

Now the question may well be
asked as to why this act was not
made applicable to lands which
presented even greater and opporuni.
ties namely, those along the principal
rivers in the central part of the
United States or near the eastern
seaboard.
1.-THE answer Is two-fold. First,
the primary reason was the original
intent to reclaim public lands by
means Of the proceeds from the dis
posal Of such lands; and second, be-
cause OF the united effort OF the far
western people in standing together
for asdefinlte purpose. 1t is obvious
that little or nothing can be accom-
plished except by concerted action.
Conditions are now similar to
those which prevailed before the pas
sage Of the reclamation or Newlands
act. A few far seeing, earnest men
were then actively at work, but the
great body Of the so-called practical
politicians were skeptical regarding
Importance Of the bill.
"The federal government already
has in the reclamation service an eff
fective organization of engineers who
have built some of the largest works
Of water control in the country. 1t
also has in the department of agri-
culture body OF expert advisors on
farm drainage and on the work of
drainage organization and districts.
1t would not require much effort to
bring them together and to make
doubly effective the experience al
ready gained. 1t is appreciation Of
this that has induced Senator New
lands to push forward a second great
bill for reclamation and conserva-
ton, which he has been advocating
since 1902, resigned to bring about
better cooperation among govern
mental and other agencies and to
provide business like procedure by
which work on the rivers can be

Mr.. Morse showed the effect of the

reservoirs-would to a large extent
end flood damage in the Ohio and

made to establish regular naval
academy along the line Of Annapolis,
on the Bay of Mariel, about thirty

attached the Patria and some smaller

be ordered to the academy to serve as
