That the. X type submarines, OF

Assistant Naval Constructor Emory S.
Land, an expert on submarine boat
construction, who was recent wit

naval affairs
Mr.. Land, according to the Army
and Navy Journal of April l, recon.
mended the building of boats of the
$50 to 1000-ton type, which. he said,
we're necessary for the proper defense
of the coasts and for ability to strike
at an enemy before he approached
close inshore. The preponderant type
in foreign navies. he added, averaged
about 500 tons.
He was inclined to think that me-
dlum-sized boat of about this size, and
not more than $50 feet long. with a
speed of IL to 10 knots on the surface
and about II submerged, was most
practicable.

AMERICAN rule
over MEXICANS
Prominent Historian Thinks
Five Years Time Will See
Big Changes

Predicting that the United States
would rule in Mexico within five years
from now, Albert Bushnell Hart, pro-
lessor of political economy at Har.
ward University, spoke recently in
Washington, ID. c., before the Navy
League of the United States. Hart is
well known as the author of books on
American history and politics. He is
quoted in the San Francisco Examiner
of April IL as saying:
Il should be willing to risk rep
utation which have not yet acquired
as political prophet by saying that
within five years the so-ealled repub-
lie of Mexico will be to the United
States in the same status as the re-
public of Cuba; that is, that 1t will
be an independent republic under the
benevolent superintendent OF the
United States.
II means if we were to bring Mexi-
co into that relation We would have
over 20,000.000 dependents to whom
we owe the duty of protection and
from whom we cannot exact the duty
of service That is the difficulty OF
the whole situation.
National Humiliation.
1T is not impossible If, instead Of
shall we say--10.00O or $4,000 troops

had been 100000 or half one hundred
thousand, the United States would not

tional dignity and national honor as
at the present moment"
DR. Hart told the convention that
increasing responsibilities of the Unit
ed States in Latin-America demanded
a powerful navy for enforcement of
the Monroe Doctrine.
The United States, he declared,
could not keep its pledge to preserve
the present territorial relations OF
the Western world unless 1t always
was ready to fight The only thing
that has prevented annexation OF
parts Of the Western world by Euro
pean powers. he said. was the belief
that the United States was ready to

Confined in Jail
Cell, Duke Pens
Poem on Eoste !
Writes of Wandering Boy
and How He Finally
Found Salvation

Confined in cell In Oahu prison,
awaiting new trial on charge Of
murder, for which he was once con-
yicted in federal court, Jesse Duke
former member of the 25th Infantry
has written poem on Easter, which
at his request, Marshal j. j. SEliads
today turned over to the Ste" .Bnlle'
tin for publication.
The poem, entitled Easter Morn,
Is as follows.
Where is my wandering boy tonight
The choir was sweetly singing
In a fashionable church one Easter
morn,
Just as the bells were ringing.
Rich people gathered from afar,
Stylish in manner and gay,
To sing praises to the heavenly father
That beautiful Easter day.
A wanderer stepped into the church,
Just as the bells ceased ringing;
His heart was touched by the words
of the song
That the choir was softly singing.
As he walked slowly down the aisle.
Seemingly he was sighted by some,
The pastor noticed it and loudly said,
Whosoever will-let him come.
He gladly extended to this young man
A cordial invitation
To join the church and become a
member
OF this noted congregation.
The pastor asked the. young mans
name
He answered, John Jacob Dunn;
Just then lady came up and said,
My God! This mans my son.
She threw her arms aroundihis neck,
For her heart was filled with joy;
She said after many years of grief,
I've found my wandering boy.
He promised to live a better life,
After roaming for eight long years;
As the young man shook the pastors
hand,
His eyes were filled with tears.
The pastor said, let us praise the
Lord,
Mrs. Dunn is happy, / know;
Let us kneel and thank the heavenly
father,
From whom all blessings flow"
Sofafter many years of worry,
And feeling sick and forlorn,
That mother was made happy once
again,
On that beautiful Easter morn.

these detachments has a distinct tacti-

operate within restricted terrain. All
of them are limited to oversee COM

and all of them may therefore be iso-
lated for considerable periods, espe-
cially In the critical first stages Of

1T is obvious that under these cir
cumstances these detachments should
be prepared to meet all military emer-
gencies until reenforcements from the
United States can reasonably be ex-
pected. They must, therefore, be
maintained at all times at full statu-
tory strength, and must, in addition,
be organized with the view to being
self-supporting, preferably during the
continuance OF war. or at least until
the navy has accomplished its primary
mission of securing the command OF
