WOODS WARNING
HOSTILE ARMY OF 10000 COULD
FORCE U. S. COAST DE-
FENSES, HE SAYS.
10000 MEN ARE NEEDED
Army Woefuliy Weak in Material as
Well as Men-Would Train All
He Declares.

Washington. Jan. 2O.-The defense
less condition of America was barred
before the Senate Military Commit
tee here by Major General Wood in a
series of astounding disclosures on the
naval and military situation of the
United States.
1t was the first time General Wood
has had the unlimited opportunity Of
speaking his mind on the subject of
Americas faulty military system. AL
though he has been quoted many times
on subjects vital to national prepared
mes, he has never been permitted, by
reason of the Army gag" rule, of tack
ling the defense subject in its entirety.
The General not only was permitted
to talk-he was obliged to talk and
to tell what he knows of the country's
true situation.
Here are a few of the preparedness
bombs" the General exploded in the
midst of the important Congressional
Committee:
A trained force of 10000 foreign
soldiers could do incalculable damage
on our shores before we could or
ganize to resist it.
Our Navy now ranks below that of
Japan.
Obligatory military service should
be established here. That failing, the
continental army plan is next best.
The proposed plans for the regular
Army are absolutely inadequate, es-
pecially as to provisions for the field
artillery.
We must stiffen our war-gained gold
with iron.
We will need 100000 trained men
for first-power war.
The intolerable State militia system
must go.
We need a regular Army of 100000
men, including 10000 each for the
Philippines and Hawaii and $4,000 for
Panama.
Our harbor defense guns now are
outranged almost two miles by Euro
pean naval rifles.
To a question by Senator Myers,
General Wood said:
"Our navy is now rated fourth. Eng
land. Germany and Japan are ahead
of us. England has built since the
present war began a navy equal to
ours at the present time. 1t is quito
possible for a dreadnought of tho
Queen Elizabeth class to fire a shell
at Rockaway Beach and reach Seven.
teenth street New York City. and it
would be out of raech of any gun now

amount there was expended on new

little more than $4,000 than the
amount the Wilson administration has
recommended for construction and

NATIONAL RIGHTS
AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF INTER
NATIONAL LAW MAKES.
DECLARATION
THE VOICE or Fl REPUBLICS
Five Principles Set Forth Based on
Rights of Existence and lndepen-
dence-A Bearing on Belgium vio-
Iation Seemingly Condemned.

Washington, Jan. ga Declara-
ton Of the Rights of Nations, applying
to the countries of the world the prin-
cipleS of human rights set forth in
the American Declaration of Indepen-
dence, mas been prepared by the Am
erican Institute of International Law,
which is composed of los members
five from each of the twenty-one
American republics. The institute
which recently has taken on an almost
official character. with Secretary of
of State on the delegation from the
United States, drafted the declaration
during the recent sessions of the Pan
American Scientific Congress here
The declaration. as made public by
DR.. James Brown Scott President of
the Institute chairman of the Joint
Neutrality Board of the State and
Navy Departments. and secretary of
the Carnegie Endowment for Interna-
tional Peace. sets forth five interna
tional principles. two of which seem
to have a direct and significant bear
ing on the events of the war in Eu
rope. The first declares that every
nation has the right to exist, but is
not justified in defending this right
at the expense of innocent and IN
offending states" The other declares
that every nation entitled to a right
by the law of nations is entitled TO
have that right respected and prot t
ed by all other nations" The first
seems to condemn the German inva-
sion Of Belgium. The second is held
in some quarters to imply that all the
nations of the world should have raj
lied to Belgium's protection.
The importance Of this declarat ion
of principles lies in the fact it repre-
sents the opinion of the most eminent
authorities of the Il republics of the
Western Hemisphere, Among the five
American representative in the insti-
tute are Elihu Root and Secretary
Lansing.

WILL MAKE SPEECH TOUR
President Wilson to Appeal to Peopl.
On Defense Measures.

Washington. Jan. 10 President
Wilson is preparing to assert his lead.
ership in vigorous campaign. In the
near future he will begin a series Of
speeches in the West and middle West
program and the other policies of the
Administration.
The Presidents intention, as author
itatively described, is to revert to the
strategy by which he established his
dominance in New Jersey politics. He
will appeal to the people directly in
behalf of the measures he advocates.
His appeal will be for the support Of
public opinion to be exerted on the
New Jersey fight.
1t is one of Mr. Wilson's fuda-
mental political beliefs that the law
makers of state or of the nation do
not dare to persist in a course in
the face of opposing public opinion

$4,000 MEN FOR NAVY
Great Britan's Call Would Indicate
Navy Increase.


London, Jan 19.-The Government
is planning the increase Of the naval
personnel by $4,000 men.
The active service list of the Brit
ish Navy for 1914-15 was Isl 900; for
both active and reserve it was 216.45S.
a total increase of 1929 over the pre-
vious year Last Spring the total cas-
ualties were stated to have been about
10000, and the losses since have been
small The addition of $4,000 men
TO the navy would seem. therefore, to
indicate that a huge increase has been
made in ships.
Just to what extent the fleet has
been increased in number Of vessels
since the war began is unknown. but
hundreds of motor boats have been
built or purchased abroad for sub
marine defense. and there is on record
the case of the light cruiser Caroline
said to be one of the twelve-which
was laid down on May 81, 1915, and
completed on Dec. II. Fifty monitors
are also known to have been built.
