QUESTIONABLE
ON NAVI|S
PLAN
indications Are Wilbur viii
Give Data Privately King
Demands Investigation
By IntefnatIonal News serrlce.

The question Of acceding to
President Coolidge's wishes against
q public investigation Of the navy
was placed squarely, today before
the Administration members of the
Senate Naval Affairs Committee.
The issue was thrust before the
committee by a demand from Sen.
ator King Dem.l Of Utah, for q
sweeping inquiry into charges that
the navy has fallen below the
5-6+3 ratio Of the Washington Con.
ference, and into the general eff
cheney and preparedness Of the
naval service.
Because President Coolidge de-.
finitely has set his foot down
against a naval inquiry, there APP
lpeared little prospect that Kings
resolution would be adopted. Indi-
cations were instead that the com.
mittee would draft a private ques-
tionnaire for Secretary Of Navy
Wilbur, asking him for much the
same information that King re-
| Quested in his resolution.
Il am not so much interested
in determining whether we are be-
low the arms conference ratio as
in finding out in an unbiased man
ner whether the navy is adequately
| prepared for emergency, especially
In submarines, aircraft and auxil-
larry craft" King declared.
II think the public Is entitled to
know just what is needed to main.
tain the navy on parity with
the other sea forces Of the world.
Because we are going to keep the
Philippines, would like to know
whether we need more bases in the
Pacific, and If we should not have
. strong mobilization force on the
west coast.
This information can only be
learned through a public inquiry.
II we get the information privately,
there is too much chance that it
will be biased. and therefore. I'M
reliable in drafting legislation for
the betterment Of the naval
service" said King.

COLLEGE PRESIDENT IS
TERRIBLY UPSET
Crosses Burned Outside University
of Dayton Grounds Worries
Rev. Mr.. O'Reilly
xxx


Dayton, Ohio.-"Students of the
University of Dayton are losing sleep
and getting behind in their studies,
all because of the activities of the
Ku Klux Klan in burning fiery crosses
where they may be seen from the dor
Thus complained the Rev. Bernard
P. O'Reilly, president of the institu-
ton, to Chief of Police James h.
Woodward, and he demands that the
police department put an end imme-
diately to the practice.
After the burning of huge cross
recently, Dayton detectives made an
investigation, but reported they could
find no clues which might reveal the
identity of the participants. How
ever, the Rev. Mr.. O'Reilly appar-
emily wasn't satisfied with the report
of the detectives, so he appeared per-
sonally before city officials and urged
that immediate action be taken to
discover the identity of the alleged
Khan members. H.

The xxx In it's Relation to the Church

"How did the world get started son?
Why someone said: 1T can't be donev
That settled it. The troglodyte
Came out of darkness into light.
1t can't be donep somebody said,
and, 10 the green fields gave US bread.
With that taunt ringing in his ears
Has man gone upward through the
years.
You should have seen the mill wheels
When someone said: 1T can't be
done!
1T can't be donev they said before
A sail put out to sea from shore.
Since worlds remote and dismal
dawn
Those magic words have spurred US
on.
1t drove Columbus where the sun
Went redly down: 1t can't be donep
1T can't ae done!' the weakllng said,
And 10! the Wrights flew over head.
1T can't be done! is what they cried
When Fulton offered them ride.
They said it, and Marconi sent
His message through the armament.
That is the way it happened son;
Praise God for this: 1T can't be
DONE
So we send this article forth in
hopes that we have in some small
way helped some one to see the better
side of this new movement, as the
friend of the church and of all that
is right and American. And to the
Ku Klux Khan we would say:
Build on and make thy castles high
and fair,
Rising and reaching upward to the
skies;
Listen to voices in the upper air,
Nor lose thy simple faith in mys-
teries.'

WHY KLAN SUCCEEDS
DESPITE ENEMIES

Its members believe in God and
in the tenets of the Christian religion
and that a goddess nation can not
long prosper.
2-They believe that a church that
is not founded on the principles of
morality and justice is mockery to
God and to man.
3-Klansmen maintain that a
church that does not have the well
fare of the common people at heart
is unworthy.
Like all real Americans they be-
lieve in the eternal separation of
Church and State.
5rNo Klansman can hold allegi-
ance to any foreign government, en-
peror, king, pope or any other for
eign political or religious power.
each one holds his allegiance
to the Stars and Stripes next to his
allegiance to God.
7-And all believe in just laws
and liberty.
S-They uphold the Constitution of
these United States.
9-Klansmen believe that our Free
Public School is the cornerstone of
good government and that those who
are seeking to destroy it are enemies
of our Republic and are unworthy of
citizenship.
10-They fight for freedom of
speech.
11-And support a free press un-
controlled by political parties or by
religious sects.
12-The organization believes in
law and order.
13-Every real Klansman is a pro-
tector of pure womanhood.
14-They assert that laws should
be enacted to prevent the causes of
mob violence.
15-The Khan stands for a closer
relationship of capital and labor.
16-Its members favor the preven-
ton of unwarranted strikes by forl
eign labor agitators.
17-Each Klansman believes his
rights in this country are superior to
those of un-naturalized citizens.

In the Ku Klux Khan

In the Ku Klux Khan is a great
company Of men and women united in
the common cause of the American
home, that somehow it may return to
it's Puritanic standard. They are
ready to hold up the hands Of the
church in its efforts to defeat the en-
envy of our home life. What is the
church going to say to them? Right
at this point it seems to the writer
he lines of he poet are very sugges-
tive to the Protestant church Of to-
day:
"B think, ere you stumble Of what
may B fall,
B true to your self, and B faithful
to all"

 The biz game Of the day was how ever between the Rurritt boys and the Boys club, Both teams were so even. ly matched that it seemed impossible for the Burritt team to overcome the two run lead which the Boys club secured in the first innng. In the second inning the Burritt team man aged to secure one run by using inside baseball, and it looked like a two 10 one game until the sixth inning. In this inning three rune were secured by timely hitting and through three errors by the Boys club felders. As no more runs were scored by either side the game ended to 2 win for the Burritt.
 As each team has won game and are not scheduled to meet again, the boys are talking of arranging a series to decide which team Is the better.
