AN ABSURD NAVAL DEMAND

The general naval board has recon-
mended to the House OF Representatives
a naval program. planned to make the
American fleet equal to that Of Great
Britain by 1925. Rear Admiral Badger
chairman OF the naval board. made an
elaborate argument TO the House Naval
Anair. Committee IN support OF the
navy. Whatever may be our naval
needs, they have no direct relationship
TO those OF Great Britain. or Of any
other country. We have lived for one
hundred years at peace with the British
empire, though for over 5000 miles Of
land and sea. we face across an irnaGi-
nary line, one of her greatest colonies.
Canada is the vital pledge that we Will
never need TO fight England, so long as
ve are reasonably fair and decent our
selves: and We could have no other pur-
pose in setting out specifically to rival
the British feet than lighting her at
Sosne time in the future.
Eag1and's naval needs are vastly
xreater than our own, and that fact
nuxht to DO recognized frankly. The
British isles bring their food from dis
tant continents. the raw materials f"r
their mills and factories arc brought in
her ships from thousand far of lands
AID her products arc carried to their
markets over blue water. To cut on
England's free access to tho open sea
would destroy her within six months
A mighty navy is an essential OF heI
successful existence We have no such
pressing need VIC could. if necessary
live within ourselt for an Indefinite
lime. without more than passing incon,
renience, and our snaboard Is so grea
that it IS not conceivable that any
naval power could blockade it success

NATIONAL GUARD
UNDER DISCUSSION
STATE ORGANIZATION MAY HAVE
TO BE REBUILT FROM NEW
BEGINNING.


Washington. = If Congress deter
mines to continue the national guard
as the army reserve of the nation,
Secretary Baker said, the guard SER
vice will have to be reconstructed
from the ground up. LIBERALIZATION
of the guard for war service, the War
Department has held, on the opinion
of Brig. Gen. Samuel T. Ansell, act
Ing Judge advocate general, will wipe
out of existence the federalized regi-
ments. When the men are discharg-
ed they will return to civilian life
without any obligation either to tho
federal or state governments to con-
tinue In national guard service.
Mr. Baker expressed a belief that
the problem of the national guard is
bound up closely with the question
of what Congress- may do later in
framing legislation to establish per-
manent military policy. Existing
law provides for the regulars and the
national guard. Should some system
OF universal military training be
worked out, however, some officers
said, 1t Is possible that the national
guard would cease to exist.

University of Arkansas, who, in sDek-
Ing to the county agents at their an

our state to secure one OF the largest
extension forces in the South by

tural news during the year He said
that $4,000 of this amount was con
tributed by the Arkansas Gazette.

PEACE DELEGATES
U. S. READY TO PROCEED BUT

lied YET.
SOME UN0FFlClALLY NAMED
Understanding Concerning Status of
Neutral Nations Brought About
Neutral Delegates Powers
Are Limited.

Paris. - Almost on the eve of the
assembling of the peace congress dele
gates, the United States is the only
country which has officially announc-
ed the composition of It's delegation.
News reports have contained names of
British, Italian, Belgian and Japanese
delegates, but the French Foreign Of
flee has received no notification of
these appointments.
The visit of Premier Romanones of
Spain to Paris has brought about an
understanding concerning the status
of neutral nations before the peace
congress. While no formal decision
has been taken, member of the
American peace commission told the
Associated Press that whenever a
question arose affecting the interest of
any particular neutral nation, it would
have its opportunity of being heard,
probably through delegates.
These delegates, it was said, will
not sit regularly in the congress and
will have no vote on questions be
tween the allies and the central
powers bearing directly Ell the war,
but will be called in when their in
terests are affected.
The Spanish premier is credited in
some quarters with raising the ques-
ton of the return of Gibraltar to
Spain and laying it before the peace
conference.
