wrote:
aNay not suggest that the dangers

can be avoided by establishing the
station on Barren Island which imme-
distely adioins Rockaway Point? Prac-
ticaly the entire island is owned by
one private party and the city, and the
srcccupied buildings could readily be
made suitable to navy uses"
ID the letter to Admiral Glennon
Jrare Talley said;
4The plants formerly operating on
Barren Island have been practically
5isontinued. The island is now con-
reeted via the Flatbush Avenue extern

Ings now there could be readily con-
wrted to many uses. In view of the
dangers and difficulties set forth in
your report, which an abandonment of
gockaway Point may occasion, this
suggestion may seem worth an in
auiry."
Bond to Make Fight
Representative Charles G. Bond. of
Brooklyn, announced yesterday that
he would fight for the retention of the
present air station or one in the neigh
bofhood Of Jamaica Bay. He sent
letter Of protest to Secretary of the
Navy DENLY and will present a reso-
luton in the House when the sessions
are resumed next month. He will ask
for the appointment of a committee to
investigate the question of aerial de-
tense along the entire Atlantic coast.
1t is understood that United States
Senator William NJ. Calder, also of
Rrooklyn, will support the movement
hrnched by Representative Bond. Sur
Prise was expressed by the Kings
county lawmakers over the formal an
aouncement of the Navy Department
to abandon the station because the
Board Of Estimate would not give over
title to the major portion of Jacob Riis
Park at Rockaway Beach.

Ridiculous Stupidity

The stupidity of the forgeres OF documents in
tended to show q Japanese-French understanding
regarding Eastern Siberia is apparent There is too
much detail in the documents. made to fit in too
nicely with events which have occurred since the
dates Of the documents, many Of which could not
have been foreseen. Indeed at that time, long
as last September there had been announcement
of the scope Of the limitation OF ornaments confer
ence and it could only have been conjectural wheth
er the subject Of the Far Eastern Siberian Republic
would be introduced at all, though at later date
it was included in the agenda.
Many a forgery has been disclosed by the discov.
cry that the forged document was written upon paper
containing a water mark" carelessy overlooked by
the forgers and which only subsequent to
period covered by the forgery. In like events
have constituted water mark which the forgers of
these documents have overlooked with surprising
careessness
1t will be observed that in the two documents
submitted the French and in the Japanese reply,
there are statements manifestly designed for the
understanding Of outsiders. For instance. in the
French document:
"The Americans are therefore pushing the
Eastern question to gain supremacy in the
East we must resist such efforts by all
means and the French government hopes to
have the help OF the Japanese government in
that"
Now that would not have appeared in genuine
document If this thing was So 1t would not have
been necessary to waste many words any words
in apprising the Japanese government Of it. Or,
IT, far more improbable, American Vaccinations in
the East were in progress, and the Japanese were
ignorant of them. the document would have needed
TO be far specific. 1t is plain that the fore
going paragraph Of this secret document" was in

any question by writing The Repub-
lican Information Bureau, Frederic ].

You might also publish any perth

For instance, does the average girl

has been shattered by an automo-
bile, or lack OF one. Some might
argue there is no question about II,
man must have an auto. There is
no question about their desirability
but it is also true that there are
many who have none and that there
are many who have machines that
they can't afford.
You might wish to develop what
the girls think about continueing in
remunerative employment after mar
riage. Some people think it is alright
While others cling to the belief that
man who cannot comfortably sup-
port wife is failure If that be true
there are many Of us who are not
nowling successes. Some men admit
they cannot afford to marry unless
the girl continue to earn something
at least until she reaches the point
where she is willing to forego some
OF the things that the average girl
looks upon as absolute necessities
or until the income OF her husband
Is sufficient to subscribe same. On
the other hand there are unmarried
men who state positively that they

OF these fellows who seem to have
hard enough time to support them

But what do the girls think about
It all? II you would undertake to

which they must have but which, for
obvious reasons. are largely unex.

To the Editor:
cannot refrain from writing you
a short letter to let you know how
much l enjoyed your special edition,
issued yesterday. You are certainly
to be congratulated on the success OF
the undertaking. The edition is a
credit to the Republican, and also
to the city and county, and you have
every reason to be proud of 1t.
Ordinarily ] am not very strong for
special editions, for after reading the
average production i generally feel
that it has been a waste OF time
and white paper. In the present case,
however, it seems to me that you
have struck a new line OF departure
and have produced something unique
in special editions.
/ think an especially happy idea
In the issue was your taking up not
only the developed resources of the
country, but also the prospective de-
yelopment, as evidenced by the very
interesting description of the several
reclamation projects now in the
course of construction or nearing the
construction stage. This feature alone
makes the issue a handbook of val
liable information. While perhaps a
comparatively few people will take
the time and trouble to express their
appreciation, can assure you from
personal observation that thousands
of Republican readers will be pleased
with this unique and original feature
of the edition.
l recently subscribed for the Re-
publican for year in advance be-
cause / believed it to be the best
newspaper in the state, and because
approved of its progressive atti-
tude toward the development of our
state, by the reclamation OF the arid
lands and the conservation OF our
natural resources. / feel more than
ever that was justified in my choice
Of daily newspaper.
With hearty congratulations and
best wishes.

The Conference AS Education

aboos the people were harassed into
state of feverish bellicosity.
1t Is not meant by this to impugn
the motives with which we entered
the world war, but simply to recall,
in a period of reaction against war,
how easily the war spirit is worked
up with flags and drums and
speeches. Some wars are just wars
and some wars are necessary, but the
point is that the methods by which
wars are made are not in the least
dependent upon the merits of the
case. Our attack Oh Spain was TO-
mented, more than by anything else,
by the phrase Remember the Maine, "
but it was never in the least proved
that the Spaniards blew up the Maine
and there Is not the slightest reason
to believe that the Spanish govern
ment mad anything to do with it.
The point is that as long as men
retain this primitive responsiveness
to war spirit, as long as they respond
to speeches and flags and drums with
an hysterical yelling excitement, just
as saVages respond to the beating OF
a tom tom, just so long diplomats,
politicians, demagogues generally
can make wars at will. And as long
as they can make wars they will
do so.
Wars are made in the same way
that P. T. Barnum made his fortune
by taking advantage Of the public
enormous capacity for being fooled
; Perhaps that capacity is inherent
and Interchangeable. But as far as war
is concerned, another element now
enters into the situation. War is no
longer thought of so much as glor-
ious thing. Clowly the connotations
of the word are changing. War is
coming to mean poverty, hunger
death, poison gas, starving babies
millions of young men dead. These
grim associations are bound to put a
check upon the responsiveness Of the
average man to the war call.

tended not for the japanese but for the American
government.
In another document find this:
"The first consideration of the French
government is that the reaations between the
United States and France should not be
injured"
That. too was papaby concocted for American
consumption fact already evident to Japan and
therefore without place In the document. The
japanese foreign office is not conducted by innocent
children who need to have things explained to them
so explicitly. 1t must be presumed that the Japa-
nese knew what going on In Eastern Siberia
and what they wanted to do there.
These secret documents" on the face of them
framed to be presented to the whole world
at what seemed the fabricators Of them to be the
proper time.
If they prove anything at all, they prove the
ncapacity Of the leaders of the Chita government.
