Fiske Asks Big Navy
to Guard Philippines

Rear Admiral Fiske has issued statement urging
that Congress provide for strong navy and that the
Philippine Islands be given ample protection. The
statement says:
Admiral Jelicoe's plan for big navy in the Pa
cifc for Great Britain and Japan is merely one for
perpetuatng state of affairs that has lasted for many
years. namely British trade supremacy in the Far East
According to the decision which Congress now
shall make the United States will be led on to fortune
will abandon the fortune to Jelcoe and Japan.
Admiral Jellicoe, as patriotic and able states
man, suggests an increase of British naval power in
the Pacific in order to maintain it.
"How long would the British Empire live if Brit
ish trade should def"
"But Admiral Jellicoe, and the entire world be-
sides, has overlooked the key to the whole Pacific
question: though it lies directly in front of them-the
Philippines. The Philippines and Japan constitute

of the roadway to China from the Mediterranean

when the admiral, accompanied by
his aide, showed up at the Secretary's
Dffce. The admiral had discarded his

Uniform. . $50
The admiral apparently was the
coolest man in Washington on this
tweltering midsummer day. He look
I'd fresh and unperturbed In his
swhites'i with his ruddy face and
elose-cropped beard standing out
Against the immaculatenaSs of his
Uniform.
The fact that he was bit late
didn't seem to worry him either. He
was greeted at the Secretary's- office
by a large gathering of newspaper
reporters and photographers, and
despite the lateness of the hour, the
admiral stopped and chatted peculiar
iy while the cameras clicked and
clicked.
Pretty warm, eh'r he said to the
Perspiring photographers. "You
know, in England they have odd
ways of combating the heat Brit
ish authorities advise garsling the
throat during hot weather as a health
precaution."
What they used for the sarsle the
admiral didn't say, but there were
looks of acute distress appearing on
the perspiring faces OF some of the
photographers.
The impression prevails in Wash
lngton that the worst which Admiral
Sims will get for his 'indiscretion"
Is a reprimand. IL he gets that. The
Indignation against the admiral which
was so marked here Immediately fol-
lowing his London speech, In which
he described large portion of the
American electorate as "jack asses" !"
has to a large extent cooled down.
The Irish themselves, who at frst
were so loudly insistent that Sims be
disciplined and severely punished for
his utterances. decided upon a policy
of "silent contempt" where the ad :
miral was concerned, and there was
not a hint of denomination upon
his arrival here.
Admiral Sims las large numbers Of
friends In Washington, and many OF
these called at the Powhatan Hotel
last night with personal messages of
sympathy and commendation. There
was a constant stream of callers and
telephone messages into Sims apart

President Harding's attitude toward
the army appropriation bill passed
by Congress and the prospect of his
oficial disapprovai of the measure. in
view of the declaration OF SECRETARY
of War Weeks that the military es-
tablishment will be seriously Grip
pied" IL the terms of the act are car
ried out. were matters of conjecture
today.
In spite of determined and extend
ed opposition on the part of Senator
wadsworth tRepublican). of New
York. chairman OF the Senate Mill
tary COMMITTEES and other members
of the committee. the measure as sub
mitted to the President provides that
the army shall be reduced to q
strength of 10000 men before Oc-
tober I. Secretary Weeks estimated
tho army will have an enlisted per-
sonnel OF 100000 on July 1. and II
will be necessary to discharge 10000
men before october 1 to comply with
the terms of the proposed law.
II the President approves the bill
and many senators declare that he
will do SO without delsy-the War
Department will begin Immediately
the work OF reducing It's armed force
to the prescribed minimum.
Secretary Weeks, II 10 believed,
though he made every possible effort
to prevent the cuts made by Con-
gress. looked upon these enforced re-
ductions as a possibility, and already
