Rouses Philippines
Especial Dispatch to The Tribuuc)


WASHINGTON, May IA storm has
action Of the Governor General in or
dering the deportation OF R. McCulloch
Dick, editor and proprietor of the
philippines Free Press" the order
being upheld by the Philippines Su-
preme Court, by vote of five to four,
one American justice voting with the
four Filipino members.
Dick, who is said to be an English
subject, will take the case to the United
States Supreme Court. His offense was
a criticism of the Philippines National
ernor General Harrison as menace
to the public pease" and as a public
nuisance" despite the fact that his
newspaper had been considered the
most ably edited in the Philippines and
Dick himself to be man of high per-
sonal standing.
In the minority opinion Of the court
it was held:
II. That the court is not only au-
thorized and given complete authority
in proceedings like the present to in
quire into the legality of the order in
question, but it is under the legal
obligation SO to do.
"2. That while the Legislature is
given authority, subject to certain linn
itations, to adopt immigration laws it
has not done so.
"3. That there is no law now nor
legal authority existing in any person
or department of the Philippines gov
ernment, nor in any combination of
such power or authority, to deport the
petitioner under the admitted facts as
they appear of record.
at should therefore be ordered and
decreed that the remedy prayed for be
granted, that the bond heretofore given
to secure his temporary release should
be cancelled and that he should be re-
leased from the custody of the law"
Another dissenting opinion stated
that "the right to eXpel aliens from the
Philippine Islands under the Spanish
regime was vested in the discretion of
the Governor General. No law of Spain

POLICE THE SEAS
U. s. AND BRITISH NAvIEs FAVE
BIG TASK.
Admiral Badger Urges Appropriations
Be Allowed to Make American
Fleet Big as Any.

Washington, Dec, 14.-Appropria-
tons to provide navy for the United
States by 1925 as large as that of any
country was urged by Admiral Badger
Of the general board of the navy be-
fore the house naval committee. He
declared the United States and Eng
land together could police the seas.
One hundred and fifty German and
seven Austrian submarines were sunk
in the war prior to August, Admiral
Badger told the committee, quoting re-
ports from Admiral Sims. He said
that the Germans had built 331 subma-
rines and that the Austrian underwa-
ter fleet comprised only 30 craft, ten
of which were obsolete. On August 1
last, Admiral Badger said, the Ger
mans had 10 submarines operating in
the Atlantic and % in the Mediter-
ranean, while at the same time Aus
tria had 10 in the Mediterranean.
Had the United States been fight
ing alone In the present war, the adj
miral said, its lack of ships would

because it has been learned that the
navy must be strong enough not only
to protect from invasion, but also to.
drive the enemy's navy from the seas.
He told the committee that the
country never has been and probably
never will be again, as well prepared
to build a powerful fleet as at present.
Admiral Badger said the general
board had recommended, before the
armistice, instead of the three-year
program, as recommended by Secre-
tary Daniels, a six-year. providing for
the construction Of II battleships and
II battle cruisers.
Germany had 56 capital ships in her
navy, including 10 dreadnaughts, when
the war began, and had seven other
dreadnaughts under construction, Adj
miral Badger said. He added that he
believed work on the seven was dis
continued and material was used for
submarine construction.
The German gun that shelled Paris
was a "15-inch or one reduced to nine,
Admiral Badger said.

TWO STAGES OF PEACE MEET
First viii Be Brief, But the Second
Period May Last for Two
Years.

London, Dec. 17.-The second stage
Of the peace negotiations probably will
last two years.
This forecast comes to the CORE
spondent from diplomatic source
well informed about the work ahead
of the negotiators. Indeed, most diplo-
mats agree that everything points to
the peace negotiations having to be di-
vided into two stages. The first will
be brief. It will concern itself primar-
lily with the concluding of a pact by
which rehabilitation and reconstruc-
ton in all war zones can be promptly
undertaken.
The second stage, however, will nee
essarily take up long period of time,
since it will be devoted to the wider
issues of the European settlement and
the formation of league of nations.
