Time the Country Was Aroused
To Lurking Peril of Pacifism

To the Editor Of The Star:
It IL time the public fully was in
formed regarding the neopacifist cele-
brations. The new drive against war
is directed not only against aggres-
sive wars, but as well against de-
fensive wars, in which q nation may
be fighting for it's very existence.
According to the very reliable New
York Times, the Women's Peace
Union of the western hemisphere has
been circulating petitions inviting
signatures in which is contained this
reasonable Affirmation:
IT affirm it is my intention never to
aid in or sanction war. offensive or
defensive, international or. civil, In
any way, whether by making or.
handling munitions, subscribing to
war loans, using my labor for the
purpose Of setting others free from
war service, helping by money or
work any relief organization which
supports or condones war;"
What will be the result Of broad
casting anti national stun like this
from our o-pliant press and from
public platforms? Just this. II its
sponsors have any part Of the sue
cess they hope for: In the event that
we are forced to take up arms in de-
fense Of our liberties or to resist the
unwarranted aggressions of q coun-
try drunk with militarism, as was
Germany only q few years ago. we
will not only have to deal with the
enemy without. but q sizable crop of
militant pacifists organized for the
exnress purpose Of hindering defense
and paralyxing our military efforts.
IN addition to taking decided
stand against wars OF every descrip-
tion. these paciflsts are cooperating
with red and pink radicals to free
"poiitical prisoners" now properly in
issI: that is, Germans and pro-0er-
mans who helped Ito the limit the
country Of their choice, sabotaging
I. W. W.s and the native brand Of
nacidst radicals who insisted they
had the rights not only Of non-co-
operatton in the war then on, but
ffndered to the limit those patriotic
ones who rallied to the support Of
our common country.

TINE Peruvian congress took under
consideration last week. and is
expected to act favorably coon
on one Of the largest concessions
ever negotiated In South America. and
one whose rich possibilities make 1t OF
International importance. Briefly out
lined. the concession contemplates the
construction of 2.4O0 miles of railway
at a cost approximating $220.00o.000,
involving land grants Of 100000 acres
with important mineral and petroleum
rights. The concessionaire Is Cana
dian, Robert w. Dunsmuier, son Of the
late Sir James Dunsmuir of Victoria,
British Columbia.
The concession. only recently nego-
tiated. provides for the taking over OF
the Peruvian government tobacco mon
opoly for a period of thirty-three years.

about half million Peruvian pounds

the railroads on his own account Tor
forty-five years, after which they will
revert to the government, the conces-
ionaire retaining the right to purchase
them from the government at the cost

Aside from the interest which natur-
ally attaches to such an empire build
ing" plan, the possibilities are great. II
1t is successful, the concession will put
Peru in a position to exploit the natural
resources which make Peru one Of the
potentially rich countries Of South
America. and out of it there may come
q new Peru.
Three distinct systems Of railroads
are going to be built: a longitudinal.
coastal line; a longitudinal interandean
route, and the intersecting, or trans
andean railroad, which will connect the
Pacific coast with the nayisable waters
of the Amazon and the Atlantic
The first of these three systems Will
connect the existing railroads which
touch the coast and will cut through
about twenty of Peru's richest coastal
valleys. The interandean system Will

The clash that started eight years

knew vastly less than most people
probably less than Hohenzollern.

New Method Advocated.

Again there arises the revival of
D familiar discussion in the method
of purchasing Army supplies-the ad-
visibility of the installation of a
system Of centralized procurement.
Some opposition to a new method Is
expressed by certain, quartermaster
officials who have to do with the pur-
chase of supplies. Their views are
up for consideration before q special
board. convened by the quartermaster
general for the purpose Of giving
the plan final consideration.
1t Is stated the general impression
prevails that the objections raised
to centralized procurement do not
Offset tho representations made In its
behalf. The new method. It IL claim
ed, would simplify the obtainment Of
proposals for supplies. which would
be opened in Washington and con-
tracts awarded here.

there is a difference of five years In

the last one which received credit
in the commissioned service for the
time which it spent in the academy.
This inequality will be called to the
attention of the committee on naval
affairs of the House, as 1t is evident
that such an arrangement is contrary
to the principle of the new pay bill.

The Navy Department has reopened
recruiting and desires to obtain re-
crIiits for the fleet At the same time
orders have gone out directing that
recruits in the New England district

This means the reopening OF the

THE NAVY

Radio aids to navigation. particu-
larly the Ambrose channel radio pi-
loting cable, is, in the opinion of
naval officers, covering unique
and important service. For example.
when a vessel approaches New York
harbor from seaward she is able in
clear weather to fix her position.
However, in case of fog or thick
weather the approaching vessel is
unable to see objects on shore and
must either fix her position by other
means or else slow down or anchor.
Under such conditions one Of the best
methods Of fixing position is by
means OF the Navy radio compass
system.
Briefly, the transmitting equipment
of the Ambrose channel plotting ca
BILE consists of q submarine cable
which Is laid in the center Of the
channel and an electric generating
and signaling apparatus located at
Fort Wadsworth. The transmitting
equipment consists of an automatic
omnigraph, which constantly spells
the word Navy"
The receiving equipment consists of
two coils of wire, one mounted on
each side of the vessel. Experiment
has demonstrated that when q ship is
directly over the cable the signal is
two coils. In time OF war the pilot
ing cable would be used to bring war
ships into harbors during fog. Its
most important use would be to in
Pdicate the safe channel leading into
a port protected by mine fields.
vessels delayed by fog range from
$500 to $4,000 per hour. Obviously a
great saving would result from any
~device that could be used safely to
pilot ships from the light vessel to
quarantine or even clear to the dock

York harbor will eventually run from
the light vessel up to the vicinity Of
the Battery.

Loss Of the Roma.

That the actual cause of the Roma
disaster cannot be known with abso-
lutte safety Is the gist of report to
the Secretary of War last week by
the chief of the air service. In brief,
IL is stated that prior to the acci-
dent the Roma answered to its con-
trolls more readily than in any previ-
Gus flight; no evidence showed that
the envelope of the airship failed.
The most significant fact stated In
the report shows that the rudders
failed to function after the ship
started to dive. An effort was made
to check the downward course by
altering the position of the rudders,
but this was without avail" The
Are which consumed the Roma was
propagated by two highly infiamma-
BILE substances-gasolin and hydro
gen.
Just previous to striking the earth
the ship hit and parted an electric
circuit carrying 2,300 volts. A fire
was started either by an electric arc
resulting from the breaking Of this
high tension line or by other causes
when the Roma struck the ground.
