SEES NATION RECEDING
IN MILITARY STRENGTH
Admiral Fiske Says Enemies Be-
come Stronger to Attack and
q. S. Weaker to Resist"
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 1o.--Assert-
ing that our probable enemies are
becoming stronger to attack and we
was the most vulnerable city that
ever has existed" Rear Admiral
Bradley A. Fiske. retired. yesterday
urged that the United States take
adequate precautions to achieve that
higher destiny for which we shall
have to fight" by understanding bet
ter what this wicked world actually
is"
The admiral spoke at a service of
flags at the Church Of the Heavenly
Rest, which followed a parade of mill
tary and patriotic organizations.
Certain other nations are becoming
stronger militarily, while we are be-
coming 'effeminized," said Admiral
Fiske. I'VE can see, for instance
that in Japan the people are sternly
repressing all tendency to luxury, and
that a nation-Eide movement, almost
feverish in intensity, is acting to
aggrandize it's slr force. We, on the
contrary, are becoming more and more
addicted to luxury and pleasure. while
gaudy fashion shops almost mo-
nopolize our grapNest avenue"
The ZR-3, II / had come on a mis-.
sion of destruction, could have done
billion dollars of damage in an hour
said the admiral, adding that this
means that in not many years 1t will
be possible for score Of similar craft
to fly over New York, coming from
almost any part of the world, and do
to New York what other enemies did
to Babylon and Carthage and Nineveh
and Rome"
Admiral Fiske alluded TO the in
creasing population of the United
States and deducted from it that the
question Of further limitation of i'm
migration would become urgent.
The admiral said the connection
between religion and patriotism has
ever been recognized" and that the
two had inspired nations to achieve
greatness"
