LONDON-If there is ever to be

ed States, the danger period is some
where between now and 1898, be-
cause within this period Japan
would have the best chance for a
naval victory in the Pacific.

The author is an associate of the

He is frankly amazed by the way
in which the United States govern

against a potential foe in the Pacific.

THINKS JAPAN COULD

Guam and the Philippines in two
weeks. He quotes an unnamed dis
tinguished American naval ofilcer
who wrote him:
"The Philippines are there for
.Japan whenever she likes to take
them. and nothing can prevent her
from seizing them when she feeis
inclined to do so. AS at present
circumstanced we could do nothing
whatever to protect them in time Oh
war"
Bvwater points out the old fami-
liar grounds for the wrar-makers;
the land legislation OF California
the insistence by America that the
omen door policy be followed in
China. and finally the fear of the rul-
ing classes that unless the masses
are distracted by the war-call OF pa
triotism there may be serious indus
trial troubles at home.
Now in event OF war, what? BY

efficiency of the war machines we
build and TO the keenness Of our Of

Ian officers are equally as keen and
that the country never has any trou-
BILE getting all the seamen It wants.
He assumes that II there we're a
war not only would our Pacific coast
ne immune from serious attack,
hut that our Panama Canal. upon
which so much would depend, would
also be safe, thanks to the vigilance
Of our armed forces. But the navy
would be faced with a task Of extra
ordinary difficulty. 1t would either
have to carry on a defensive war,
which would be tantamount TO a Jap
victory. entailing the loss of our is
land possessions in the Pacific; or an
offensive war, in which a decisive
success would be practically impos-
sible to achieve.
The main point he stresses is:
For less than the cost of two mod
ern battleships such a chain Of naval
bases could be thrown across the
Pacific as would give our fleet en-
tire command of the situation and
enable II to wage a war both OF Of
fense and defense with all our re-
sources

HICKEY UPHOLDS
CITY INSURANCE
IN TEST ACTION
Case Brought BY Or. H. M.
Bowers Will Probably Be
Carried to Supreme Court
of State.

Upon the plcadings in the friend
ly suit brought by DR.. L, NJ.
Bowers as a taxpayer TO restrain
the city from paying additional
funds for group insurance Of en-
ployes, Judge NJ f. Hickey yester-
day afternoon gave a judgment in
favor of the city. The case will
probably be carried to the state
supreme court.
DR.. Bowers brought the suit in
behalf of himself and all other
Taxpayers similarly situated. He
asked that certain city officials be
restrained from paying out any
further sums for the insurance of
city employees under the group
policy written by the Equitable
Life of New York. on the ground
that such a payment was diver
sion of public monies without the
authority of law and was a misap-
preparation and misapplication of
money collected by taxation.
The city filed an answer setting
forth its authority for such a pay
ment. on the pleadings Judge
Hickey upheld the city's actions.
The suit is entirely friendly and
is intended to test out the validity
of group insurance. 1t will also
determine if the heirs at law of
Cesario Romero were protected by
the group insurance policy.
