FATHER
GEORGE
LIVING!

George Washington is just as
much alive today as he was when
he assumed office as the first
president of the United States.
Deputy Prosecutor Selden prov
ed this today by citing Daniel
Webster's definition of memory,
to the effect that it is quality
of the mind which retains
thoughts of events and persons.
Attorney Pendleton, for Paul
IIaffer, socialist charged with
libelling the memory of the faith
er of our country, in his opening
address to the jury claimed it was
impossible to libel dead man
who had no living relatives.
Joab Goes on Stand.
The state Immediately con-
nected Washington with living
persons by showing that they
were entitled to sacred memory
of all public heroes.
Il think that the court will
agree that Washington no doubt
existed Selden argued. I'M
mediately upon his death his
memory was passed on down the
generations as a worthy charac-
ter.
1t would be all right for a
person to attack his public life,
but Haffer attacked his private
life. He held his memory to
ridicule and hatred
Col. Albert +. Joab was the
first witness called to the stand
by the defense.
Never Saw Him.

THE colonel admitted he
hadn't.
Are you any relation to him?"
he questioned.

traced it down."
Describe the sensation you
had when you read the article, :"
counsel continued.
81 felt as il / had been slapped
in the face. My face got red
with righteous Indignation. I
did what every loyal American
citizen would have done"
When asked to. describe the
difference between a mental slap
and a physical, the colonel color
ed and turned to the court smut
tering he was not there to give
English lessons.
Hadn't Read En- All.
When asked II had read any
history on Washington, he said
he had read many authoritative
histories exhaustively and re-
peatedly. Although he did not
see anything detrimental to
Washington's name, he admitted
there were parts that moved him
to tears.
Pendleton read number of
references which the colonel ad-
mitted he had only partially read
or had passed up in their entirety.
Il suppose you don't consider
them authorities because you
haven't read them?" Pendleton
ventured.
THAT is about IT," Joab shot
back.
You are the only person in
terested I'm this prosecution,
aren't you, colonsl7"
81 should say not. I have had
countless letters and telephone
calls and expressions of congrat-
ulations by word and mouth from

the world that the policy of
Japan is always to strike
quickly and without warning.
without doubt, her warships
will be brought together I'm
such a way as to allay suspi-
ciOn, ostensibly for a maneu-
yer: and that they will be half
way across the Pacific before
we shall have the slightst ink
ling of the fact that Japan is
planning an immediate attack.
1t Is assumed that we conld
send our Atlantic fleet, or II
portion of IL, through the Pan
anna canal or around South
America In time to decide n
naval war with Japan.
II is very questionable il the
patriotic Japanese living I'm the
Panama Canal Zone would al
low our ships TO pass through
the canal when 1t is possible to
prevent them doing so.
A small amount of dynamite
could create such u slide-even
before we should have knOwl-
edge of the contemplated innO-
cent Japanese naval maneuver
that the canal would be
blocked for months.
II we attempt to send our
Atlantic fleet around Cape
Horn those battleships must be
accompanied by supply ships.
Even though we have fight
ing vessels that can make ~
knots, the fleet would have to
be held together.
IL could travel no faster
than the slOwest ship.
To separate 1t, that is, to al
low Il few ships to enter the
Pacific at a time, would be the
height of folly.
Even if all were kept togeth-
er, the fleeter ships of the
japanese navy could speed i'm
to the advance column, destroy
the vanguard and retreat
again; and our ships would be
unable to follow because of
their slower speed.
This would be done over and
over again-the fleeter Japan
ESQ ships each time centering
their fire on one or two of our
slower ships and getting away
again with little risk of damage
10 themselves.
What chances have we i'm our
presnt setate of preparation?
With wonderful business sa-
gacity we assert that they cam
not afford another war.
This is the greatest of all
fallacies.
The Balkan states are prob
ably the poorest states in the
world.
Only few years ago, when
a merchant of Montenegro
purchased an automobile-the
first owned by a native of Mon
tenegro-the king sent the
merchant a polite note calling
attention to the mans eXtrava-
gance, and limiting that he, the
king of Montenegro, could not
afford one.
Yet Montenegro and Serbia,
though two of the poorest lit
tie nations i'm the world, have
been able to play a remarkable
part in three wars within five
years.
IL is true that the Japanese
national debt IN One-eighth
their entire wealth, but their
national debt per capita is less
than the per capita debt Of the
United States!
The national debt per capita
OF Japan is $23, and that of the
United States $33.
The cost of feeding Japan
ese soldier Is one-twelfth of
the cost of feeding an .Ameri-
can.
The feeding cost of an Amer
lean soldier is "a cents per day,
that of Japanese two cents.
Moreover, the japanese sac

try.
