M7Ew YORK, March 2l.-(speciaD IW If the plans of the navy's general c N board are adopted by. Congress
 the United States navy will soon have some Zeppelins, according to Rear Ad-
 miral Charles J. Badger, who writes plea for prepardness for the next world war. entitled t"The Larger American Navy in the April Century.
 ,.No one knows when war is coming, 7 says Admiral Badger, 'as can be seen by the suddenness with which the one just ended was precipitated upon the world" ees-f At the close of the Civil war it was thought that no later war could ever involve this country: Tn 1865, at the close of the Civil war, the United States pos- sessed a large, and for it's time, power full navy. It's expansion during the war was comparatively as great as has been it's expansion during the one just .end- ing; indeed perhaps greater We had just passed through long and terrific trug- gle, we were saddled with an enormous debt our people were war-weary, and many. as now, believed that there was little likelihood. of our ever being in- volved in another war. Our merchant marine had virtually disappeared from the high seas, and in our rinterest in oth- CT great national problems the navy was permitted to dwindle away until by 1870, it consisted only of a number of obso- lete coast-defense monitors and few wooden frigates and cruisers long past their days of usefulness.
 Admiral Badger maintains that the American navy must be as large as the largest navy in the world. When the war began Germany, possessed the second most powerful navy in the world. The second best navy proved to be not good enough. The blockade which she was not able to break proved the greatest contri- outing. cause of her ultimate collapse The United States should at all times besin position to care for its own

Senator Reeds Substitute
 For League of Nations

N S an example or the hlflu Ol COIL &A structive criticism" offered by opponents of the league of nations covenant, Senator Reed of Missouri stated in an after-dinner speech in St. Louis that he would favor as an al- formative dismembering andf demili- tarizing the German empire. Fur thermore, he would pledge the United States to join other nations in sub- duing Germany, if she started another war. If such preposterous suggestion were accepted by America and her al- lies, in what way and how soon could it be carried out? Instead of prevent ing war, it would inevitably force the allies to resume hostilities with a na- tion still powerful, though beaten, a nation of 7O,0O0,O people who would have the support of the Teutonic pop ulation of the dual empire, and would f:rht to the last man rather than sub- init to dismemberment. That little undertaking in itself would require years of such warfare as we have just seen ended by the surrender of Ger many.
 Suppose the Reed scheme to have been accomplished at the end of pos sibly ten years of slaughter, how would the victors divide the spells ? The distribution of German territory would SOW the seeds of strife among the allies themselves, who are even now trying to keep Italy and Japan from kicking over the traces.
 Germany is bound to remain na. tion, whether we like it or not. Ot the many suggestions offered by peo. pie who don't know anything about the league of nations and those who are supposed to know a great deal Senator Reeds ideas are, to say the least of them, extraordinary.

 Fantastical Views
 Of the I. w. w.
 A LITTLE red book of I. w. w 4S songs, picked up by newspa- per man, contains the following "pre- amble":
 "The working class and the employ ing class have nothing in common Between these two classes struggle must go on until the workers of the world organize as class, take pos session of the earth and the machinery of production and abolish the wage system"
 This is a fair specimen of I. w. w doctrine. It is almost inconceivable that person of ordinary intelligence able to put two and two together, ol subtract two from four, could be lee astray by any such false reasoning yet the world today is in an uproal largely because of the I. w. w., th' bolsheviki and similar organizations which differ merely in name, all be ing rabid socialists who have aban doned true socialism for anarchy.

CABINET PLANS new
LABOR CONFERENCE

President Wilson today had before
him plans for a new national indus
trial conference, drawn by his Cabinet
in session of more than two hours
late yesterday.
The Cabinet agreed on the member
ship, and submitted the names to the
President for consideration. He was
expected to call the conference within
few days. Leaders Of the public
group in the old conference will not
be included in the new list, 1t was
understood.
The Cabinet endeavored to pick
men and women to truly represent the
public, who will act independently
and not voice the convictions of min
critics. The group organization fol-
lowed in the first conference has been
wholly abandoned, The position Of
the Administration is that neither
organized labor, representing more
than 100000 of the 107 ,0O0. 900 Amer
leans, nor capital, representing a vast
ly smaller number, shall have q pre-
dominant voice.
An effort is to be made to have
the new conference avoid current la
Dor issues. such as the threatened
coal strike an dthe strike of steel
workers. Attention will be devoted
to planning a way to industrial peace
without reference to particular in
stances Of dispute.
