PREPAREDNESS? .

PREFNREDNEOof = Sure we're
all for preparedness. But we want
to know what we're going to get for
our money. Listen to this:
Navalism is a product of the doc
trine that the flag follows the in
weston" writes Frederic S. Howe in
the New Republic. Naval prepar-
edness on a large scale began with
overseas investments.
Expenditures for the British navy
Ieaped from $71,OOO,O0O in 1898 to
5000, 100000 in 1911, while the ex-
penditures of Germany during the
same period increased from $20,000,-.
600 to $9O,OOO,OOO. Our own naval
appropriations were increased from

in 1914. The colossal burdens Of
armament are largely the result Of
the demand of the investing and ruI-
ing classes, who have identified their
private interests with those of the
state"
He calls the roll He shows that
one weak country after another has
been grabbed by business gangs,
bankers, financiers, wanting wider
fields for exploitation. He explains
why the motto of the Hearst-Otis-
Observation-Disclosures combination is
now Mexico Nextp
What the United States is now
called on to do to Mexico has already
been done by England to India and
by Germany to Turkish provinces.
HOwe's theory is that one cause of
the European war was the quarrel
ing of European nations over fresh
territories ripe for exploitation-like
Mexico.
NOW in the United States fnan-
cial Imperialism is being insisted
upon by the same class that drove
England, France and Germany into
conflict" Howe puts it: There is a
clamor for dollar dimlomacy; for a
great navy to protect overseas in
Vestments."
Such is the statement of the man
now federal commissioner of immi-
grafton at the port of New York. His

broadcast and most practical search
ings for the cause of the big war
that has yet come off the presses. He
is a sample of the kind Of man whose

nor quoted in the war-hOwling Trib-
une and the Hearst papers.

"TIcKLEp TO DEATH"

"GlCkLED TO DEATH" - This
war game gets all mixed up some
times. Here's Major Mccormick of
the First cavalry says it's a crime and
a shame there amt no machine guns
to shoot. And yet the majors colo
mel, Milton J. Foreman, every time a
newspaper man asks him how the
game is going, busts out: 'Pm tickled
to death" In three distinct and sep
arate interviews with reporters Col.
Foreman has jerked out his happi-
ness as a warrior by declaring: I'm
tickled to death" If it's any kind of
a cinch that American men and boys
will get shot by Mexicans because
the Americans lack machine guns for
defense, why does Milt Foreman all
the time keep telling the reporters:

British Guns.

London, July 20.-Today's official

strong German counter attack, in the

ban suffered 5000 casualties out of a

$50 men out of /, 100, while the other
two battalions of that regiment each

NO FEAR OF HANGING
La Sale Slayer Is Taken to Prince
ton for Trial.

Clinton. Iowa, July 2O.-Waiving
extradition papers and confident in
his assertion that they cannot hang
him for his crime because he has been
confined in an insane asylum, Bernard
Sherman, confessed slayer of the La
Sale chauffeur, was taken to Prince
ton, ILL.,, late last night to stand trial
on a murder charge. Dragging of his
crimes and confessing details of the
shootings he says he has committed
he expressed confidence that little
punishment would be melted out TO
him because of his alleged insa nifty.
He told the Clinton police that
Deriere was killed in a scuffle for a
revolver which he carried, and with
which he had threatened the driver
but he did not know whether he had
fired more than one shot.
Send Him to Asylum.
Elgin, I'LL, July 20.-Supt. H J.
Gahagan of the E1gin State hospital
will make no attempt to bring Ber-
nard L. Sherman back to that insti-
tuition.
Informed that Sherman had con-
fessed to killing Joseph Deriere, La
Sale, Ill, chauffeur, Gahagan said he
believed authorities will ask Sher-
mans commitment to Chester asylum,
unless they agree with Gahagan's view
that the youth confesses crimes as a
result of a mental arrangement

FILL SPACE IN RANKS
New Recruits Will Replace Guards
men Who Are Released.

Washington. July O.-Militiamen
released on the border because they
have dependents at home will be sup
planted by recruits now being OBJ
tanned by militia officers kept at
home for that purpose. This. the war
department said today, will take care
of the situation created by the neces-
sity to release thousands as told by
General Funston in an interview with
William G. Shepherd today at San
Antonio.
There will be no serious gaps on the
border, it was asserted. Even if the
regiments fall below their minimum,
they will not be mustered out, since
it is expected the ranks soon will be
Ief;lled. Informally too, army Off
GERS here maintain there is little Iikeli-
hood of trouble with Mexico and say
several thousand militiamen could be
spared.
AS for the hardships inflicted on the
militiamen:
1--WE can feel little sympathy with
men who enlisted in an organization
that might have to go to war without
anticipating the possibility of tragedy"
said one official. Every man on the
border who has dependents will be
mustered out of service, however. We
will not see any one suffer-

GIANTS To Get HERzOG
Christy Mathewson Will Go to Cincin-
natl as Manager.

Cincinnati, O., July 2O.-President
Hermann announced today that he
had agreed with President Harry
Hampstead and Manager McGraw of
the New York Nationals to trade
Charles E. Herzog, manager of the
I.eds and Outfielder Wade Killifer to
the Giants for Christy Mathewson,
Outfiel6er Rousch and Infielder Nc
kechnie.
Herzog's contract with the Reds
stipulated that any deal affecting him
must have his consent. Herzog has
been manager of the Reds since the
season of 1914. He probably will play
third base for the Giants, his old posi-
ton on that team.
The trade as made is said to be the
original proposition made by New
York with the important exception
that the clause which would have per-
mitted the New York management to
recall Mathewson after two years has
been eliminated. 1t was said Mathew
son becomes the property of the Gin
cinnat club outright, without any
stipulation.

eight people at Villisca four years ago

the man who was the "go-between"
and handled the money, said to have
been paid to have the crime commit
ted.
Whether the evidence is strong
enough to cause the return of indict-

hearing of William Mansfield. charged

Washington, July 20.-Referring to
what he called the new born policy
of guaranteeing American investments
by the American flag" Senator Rob-
ert NJ. La Toilette, progressive-Re-
publican of Wisconsin, in the senate
this afternoon said:
IF that question is made the issue
of the campaign, the people of the
United States will vindicate the presi-
dent most emphatically."
La Toilette was insisting on his
amendment to the naval bill that no
battleships be used for the collection
of debts owed American bondholders.
Democratic Whip Lewis asked:
Then you would approve the Mexi-
can policy of President Wilson,"
Flag Not to Collects Debts.
Most emphatically, yes" answered
La Toilette. II hope the Republican
candidate will not endorse the pro-
posed new born policy that when an
American investor buys a concession
worth 100000 for a tenth OF that
sum, the American flag and arms shall
be used to see he collects full face
value on his speculation. The presi-
dent said in Detroit he would not use
the United States army and navy for
such a collecting agency.
