KNAPP TAKES ISSUE.
Rear Admiral II. S. Knapp, U. s. ~.
today took issue with Brig. Gen. Bar
nett. former commandant of the Mar
inc Corps. who alleged in a letter
to Col. John H. Russell, United
States Marine Corps. that practically
indiscriminate killing OF natives has
been going on for some time"
In answer to the first of a series or
questions propounded by Charles Nc
Ilinley, of Portland, Ore, Admiral
Knapp stated that it was possible
that 5000 Haitian men in all had
been killed" but that these opera
tions were necessary In order to re-
store order and respect for human
life and property that were endan-
gered by the Haitians themselves"
Admiral Knapp contended that Amer
lean lives were also sacrificed and
said "the answer IL 1t may be con-
strued as referring to innocent Hal
tians is No"
Admiral Knapp recently returned
from Haiti, where he conducted an
investigation in a dual capacity. rep
resenting both the State and Navy
Departments.
Admiral Knapp opposed withdrawal

PROTECTS WORLD PEACE.
"some say that IL the council has
no authority to order military forces
into the field in defense of the cove
nant," Cox continued, "hte peace OF
the world would lie no better secured
with the League than without 1t.
Such an inference woul dbe entirely
at variance with experience Earl
Grey, at that time the British secre-
tary for foreign affairs, said In 1914
that If in the critical days OF July
and August he could have got the
statesmen of the great powers around
a table in conference for nine days or
nine hours, the world war would
have been averted''
In case of serious dispute be-
tween two nations. Cox said, the
council of the league would endeavor
to have the disagreement presented
to the permanent court of inter
national justice, ten parties to the
dispute agreeing to abide by its de-
cTsion. If the matter were urgent
they would attempt to settle the
question by conciliation, the council
acting as mediator. Failing in this
all members of the council, except
the disputants, would attempt to
reach an unanimous agreement as to
the course of action to be recon-
mended. No recommendation would
be possible, however, without un-
animous vote.

AS a punishment for the offending
council might send joint diplomatic
note condemning the action, might
break off diplomatic relations, or, as
last resort, might institute an
economic blockade.
at is extremely doubtful. he as
serted, "if any nation would have the
temerity to fly in the face OF the out
ragged public opinion of the whole
world. and it is a moral certainty
that no nation would be so foolhardy
as to try to live, let alone carry on
effective warfare, in isolation"
In case of such a crisis as that of
1914, he said, the council would sit
in special conference, and If the coun-
Gil were unanimously agreed that
drastic action was necessary, IL would
be empowered to make such a rec
ommendation. The facts and recon-
mendations would then be cabled to
the President of the United States,
who would lay them ebfore Congress.
Congress, he said, would thereupon
determine the course of action, "just
as it does now"
