FIGHTING MAN AND
SCHOLAR DEBATE

"Pacificity, the policy OF Do
|Nothing-Ism, is another way to state
Peace at any price. which is the pro-
position the opponents of prepared
ness would have us accept" declared
Captain Wilson I. Davenny during the
debate on Preparedness" at the
ChautauQua last night The state
ment Is characteristic Of the debate.
Captain Davenny was so filled with
patriotism and the need Of national
preparedness that 1t was evident that
to him the affirmative. Is self-evident
to such a degree that debate upon 1t
is almost ridiculous. He referred to
the great preparedness" parades
which have called thousands into
march in the great cities OF the ma
tion during the fortnight just past
He referred to the unanimous opinion
OF current literature and editorial
opinion In all sections Of the country
as refutation to the quotations from
books Of the past year and more made
by Robt. C. Root. his opponent in
the discussion. He pointed out the
fact that the men who are partici-
pating In these demonstrations are
thinking men who are thinking In
terms OF the day, and not OF yester-
day.
The theory Of paciflcism is ex-
ploded by this greatest cataclysm OF
all time. Europe's war today is at
bottom commercial war. Present
plans Of foreign nations are directed
against the world trade OF the United
States. The Japanese question is mo-
mentous. There is tonight a Mex
lean envoy in Toxic or on the way to
the Japanese capital. The Japs
and Mexicans are thicker than flies.
The japanese have naval base Just
off the coast OF Mexico, recently ac-
quired. AT this hour there is not one
battleship on the Pacific coast. Pre-
paredness is only an insurance. DO
you wait for your house to burn be-
fore you insure against flre?"
Robert Cromw Root, the speak
er on the negative, made the old-line
argument for pacifclsm which bore
great weight before the present war
began. He emphasized the reliability
OF the Japanese, instancing their use
as servants to us. army and navy
officers tThs Captain Davenny imme-
dlately denounced as the greatest
shame to the seryice) He stressed
the special money interests back Of
preparedness, and concluded with:

Another camp probably will be main

camp was last year, and from here
horses can be supplied those who
wish them. Under this arrangement,
1t is believed that travel will be

year the number going to the caves
was about 700, though because there
was no accommodation beyond
Stevens many could not make the

There is considerable worry, most

uncertainty as to the views Of Mr..
Hughes on certain incidents that have

Globe Democrat has often pointed
out, satisfied with his general views,

on preparedness over seven years be-
fore the light broke on Mr.. Wilson.

no room for contrvversy ON this

available regular troops CESS. I
believe. than s0.0O0e are there
or In Mexico. and as these have
been deemed insufficient the en-
tire national guard has been or
dered cut That b. we are sum-
noning practically all our NOV

and are bearing this burden, /
have nothing but praise But I
think IL little short Of absurd
that we should be compelled 10
cail men from their shops. their
factories. their Offices and their
professions for such q purpose

covered after the event. And
