FOR ACTUAL WARFARE
military Expert Says Weakness Of American GetGne invites
Aggression.

proceed with her projects in the Pa
citic. 1t has been known for some
time that in addition to Japan's de-
sire to expand at the expense of
China, she also wishes to possess
Alaska, Hawaii, and probably the Pan
ANA canal.
The recent diplomatic history of
far eastern affairs shows Great Brit
ain to have lost the power she at
one time possessed to influence Japan
through diplomatic means. Ire only
remaining way to exert influence is
by force.
Even should Great Britain wish to
use force she is unable to do so at
the present time because her own de-
fense absolutely requires the contin-
ued presence of her fleet in home wat
ers. AS from the beginning of the
war she has suffered from a lack of
troops in spite of the aid extended
by South Africa, New Zealand, Aus
tralia and Canada, no help can be ex-
pected from her on land. In other
words, as far as we are concerned,
this would mean that in a possible war
with Japan we can expect no help.
Japan Active in Mexico
At the time Of the Madero revolu-
tion in Mexico there was excellent
evidence to show that a relationship
inimical to ourselves had come into
existence between Mexico and Japan.
From time to time since there has
been further evidence along the same
line. From military point of view
Mexico would furnish Japan an ex-
cellent base of land operations
against the United States in case of
war.
Since 1911 war with Mexico has
always included the possibility of war
with Japan at the same time. This
is as well, if not better, understood
in Germany than in this country.
In case of war with Germany it is
practically certain that in accordance
with the best principles of war she
= would endeavor to bring both Jap
anese and Mexican questions to the
: point of conflict. While none of the
eventualities may occur, it is a fun
1 damental military principle to inves-
tgate and prepare for all possibilities
when any step is taken.
= Such a step was taken in sending
a virtual ultimatum to Germany

Washington, d. C.-The third an
nual count of the United States will
be made by the Bureau of Biological
Survey of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture during the breeding sea-
son in May and June. In making this
survey the Bureau will rely largely on
persons interested in bird life who
agree to act as volunteer enumerators
and count the different kinds of birds
found in 40 or so acre farm or wood
land tract near their homes. The
counts thus made by unpaid observ
ers during the last two summers have
furnished to the Department valuable
data on the character, number; and
distribution of the bird population.
This year the ornithologists of the
Department wish particularly to Sc
cure a large number of volunteers in
the West to report on the bird life
in the plains, the semiarid regions, the
deserts, and the mountains in that
part of the United States. Especial
attention also is to be given to secur-
ing data as to the birds in the fruit
districts of the Pacific coast and in
the South Atlantic and Gulf States.
The information collected this year
it is believed will be of special value
in enabling the Department to test
the effect of State and National bird
laws and also in determining what
effect of State and National bird laws
and also in determining what rela-
tionship exists between bird life and
the prevalence of locusts, grasshop-
pers, and other insect pests in differ
ent localities.
AS it is impossible to make an act
ual count of all the birds in any eX-
tended district, each enumerator is
asked to report only the number of
birds breeding in selected area OF
40 to so acres in country or subur-
ban districts. From the figures thus
obtained, those in charge of the work
are able to approximate the total

TO MAKE 1916 COUNT OF BIRDS
Biological Survey Calls for Volunteers, Especially In the wsS
to COut Birds on Farms a Woodland Tracts.

number of birds of each kind in diff
ferent sections of the country.
Enumerators who wish to report on
birds on farms are asked to choose
an area which includes farm buildings,
shade trees, orchards, plowed land,
pasture or meadow or swamp, but not
very much woodland. The enumera-
tor begins his survey at daylight some
morning and zigzagS back and forth
in the selected area, counting the male
birds. Early in the morning during
the last of May or the first week of
June every male bird should be in
full song and therefore easily count
ed. The count of one day is to be
verified by observation on several
mornings,
The height of the breeding season
should be chosen for this work. In
the latitude of Washington, May 80
is about the proper date for the count
In the latitude of Boston the work
should begin week later, and south
of Washington even an earlier date
should be selected.
In addition to reports on farms
and suberbs, eaumerators who can dc
so will be asked to report on the
birds in a timber area of about 4C
acres or in isolated bit of woodland
of from 10 to 20 acres. In the North,
eastern States, separate reports on The
number of birds found in the wilder
portions of the farms, preferably
those surveyed in the earlier counts
are desired.
Those wishing TO take part in the
survey can obtain complete instruc
tions by writing to the Bureau of Bi
illogical Survey, U. S. Department Of
Agriculture, Washington, D. C. The
work, however, calls for considerable
knowledge of birds, and only those
who can readily distinguish the diff
ferent kinds should undertake tc
make returns for their localities.

U. S. GETS NAVAL STATION
IN CENTRAL AMERICA
Beth Nicaragua and United States
Have Now Ratified Bryan Treaty

The Nicaraguan Congress has rati-
fed the treaty with the United States,
the treaty which was negotiated by
William Jennings Bryan when he was
Secretary of State. AS it had al
ready been ratified by the United
States Senate the treaty is now sure
to be put into effect.
The United States gets a very val
liable site for a naval station on the
Bay of Fonseca. This bay or gulf
is on the Pacific coast, at the fifteenth
parallel of latitude. 1t forms the
northern corner of the Nicaragua re-
public on the Pacific side. The bay
is a magnificent harbor, nearly land
locked but large enough to hold all the
navies in the world. It's possession
by the United States will be of great
advantage to this country, in case it
should ever become necessary to de-
fend the Panama Canal. We were
weak in that quarter.
Besides the naval station the United
States gets the sole right to build a
canal across Nicaragua. This will en-
able US to prevent competition with
the Panama Canal. Many engineers
thought the Nicaragua route better
than the one which was finally Sc
lected.
In return for these and other ad-
vantages the United States is to pay
Nicaragua $3,OOO,00O.

EVER INCREASING EXPORTS

Complete figures of exports in Feb

four billions. Imports are only half
as much, and as two-thirds of them
are free of duty they do not add much

Washington, d. C.-In his message
to congress the president gave Ger
many the choice of abandoning her
submarine warfare or having diplo-
matte relations severed by us.
Existing circumstances demonstrate
that Great Britain is feeling the eff
fects of this warfare. Therefore, it
is improbable that Germany will
abandon it, particularly as it is her best
means of making her power felt
against the one of her enemies hard
est to reach.
In other words, unless we back
down, the severance of diplomatic re-
lations seems inevitable. Once such
break occurs, Germany probably will
go to war, as by doing so she will gain
complete liberty of action from a ma
val standpoint. Once at war, Ger
many will make every effort to strike
us directly or indirectly wherever we
are weak, as this is one of the cardinal
principles of war.
Weakness Shown in Mexico
In our existing relations with Mex
icon and with Japan we have two
weak points from a military point of
view, in that either or both may cause
war at any time. The latest news
from Mexico indicates that an ulti-
matum demanding the withdrawal OF
our troops is imminent.
Gen. Pershing's command at the
present time is not only in a position
where it no longer is strong enough tc
pursue Villas men but may not ever
be strong enough to properly protect
itself from possible attacks by Car
rancsta troops. Gen. Funston ha.
sent him 1900 additional troops, bu
only at the cost of weakening the bor
der defenses.
The guard along the border has nev
er been strong enough to really pro
tect it from occasional raids. 1t i
nothing like strong enough to protec
it from such attacks as undoubtedl,
! will be made should war with MeXic
; come.
While we have never answered Jap
ans last note or the immigratio
: question, we have passed a bill praC
tically excluding Asiatics. Such eN
