Wood Calls Macy
A "Deah Trap -
Hghy-Trained Men and
Good Ships Needed, He
Tells Legion Members

BOSTON, Jan. 18.-Major General
Leonard Wood, speaking to members of
the American Legion to-day, called for
large navy, and asserted that "all we
have now is floating death trap"
I'VE want" he said, "a first class
navy. and we want it always ready. We
cannot make it in a hurry. We cannot
have it with divided fleet. We cannot
fill ships with unframed men and say
we have navy. 1t is not a navy at
ALT is floating death trap.
I'VE want large navy" he added,
land an army large enough to police
the nation in times of peace. We need
good navy, highly trained men and
good ships" He also advocated a large
merchant marine.
General Wood urged the adoption of
a law and order" slogan, asserting
that "it's no use talking politics these
days. There will be no politics, no
confidence, no business opportunities
no successful or happy labor unless
you have law and order and respect for
the rights Of property and the rights
of others
1--WE are going to govern this coun-
try by Americans. When I say Amer
leans l do not mean necessarily pco
pie whose families have been here many
generations, but real Americans, the
people who have adopted and are trv-
ing to live up to our standards and
ideals"

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1S.-Major Cen
eral Leonard Wood, leading candidate
for the Republican Presidential nomi-
nation, was called upon to announce
his position with regard to the peace
treaty with Germany and the league
Of nations covenant in a letter sent
TO him to-day by Senator Borah, Re-
publican, of Idaho.
The letter was sent as another step
in the program of the group Of Re-
publican "irreconcilable" foes Of the
treaty in the Senate to place every
Presidential candidate on record rela-
tive to having the United States enter
"entangling alliances"
A similar letter was sent to Cover
nor Frank o. Lowden, Of Illinois, an
other Republican aspirant for the
Presidency, by Senator Borah on Jan
uary |. Governor Lowden replied that
he favored ratification Of the treaty
American institutions and rights Cen
eral Wood never has formally ex-
pressed himself on the treaty issue.
Senator Borah's letter to him reads, in
part:
1--WE have before US at this time the
question of whether we as people or
nation shall abandon the long -estab-
lished and here tofore unquestioned
foreign policy of no entangling alli-
ances or leagues with foreign powers
whether we shall enter upon a course
which will devolve upon us the duty
of having part in all the conflicts and
we shall adhere to our foreign policy
so long and so consistently followed.
AS you are candidate for Presi-
cent feel there is no impropriety in
asking you, and feel you will be glad
to state your position and your views
fully upon these questions:
"Flrst-Are you in favor Of giving
the people an opportunity of passing
upon this question in the only way
now provided by which they can pass
upon it by bringing it before them ss
an issue in the approaching campaign :?
DO you think it would be fair to the
people Of this country under the pre-
tense of making q treaty to adopt
scheme which would result in the
abandonment of our traditional for
cign policy without taking their judg-
ment upon the matter?
"Secondly-May we ask your views
upon this entire matter aside from
your views as to the propriety of sub
mitting it to the people? Would YOU
as candidate and as a President, if
you were elected, seek to maintain the
fore gn policies of this government
heretofore prevailing, or would you be
willing to abandon them?
Would you lend your influence and
your power as President to maintain
and preserve the policy Of no entan-
Cling alliances with foreign powers and
no interference Of foreign powers with
American affairs, or would you be will
ing to have the United State. cntey
into an alliance or partnership or
league with European and Asiatic ma
tions?
"You are known to be q man Of
positive views. Your calling and your
training are conducive to directnass
and candor. anticipate, therefore,
that we shall have no difficulty in
understanding your position when you
have the time to make reply"

Colonel Bryan leaned over and

denounced a rule that requires a two

war; he said. "God forbid that we
should make it more difficult to get
out OF war than to get into it,
"The fact is that both sides have ex
aggerated their differences. Here's
what the Republicans have done: They
say that three out four of the great
powers must formally accept our res
ervatlons. Why not simply acquiesce
in them? The latter should be thor
oughly satisfactory, while the former
opens up many more possibilities for
delay If you make these nations
formally accept, it is probable that
they will find reservations to make on
their own account and make the same
requirement of us. That would mean
tlement, Will" the world still is ablaze
with the after affects Of the war"
Mr.. Bryan gave still more time to
dlscusslon of the delays that had
been caused by the Democratic party,
which he referred to as "our side"

We say the Senator'S have not done
