WORLD WAR IS
NOT POSSIBLE
Secretary Wilbur Says Only
Sporadic Disturbances
Might Occur.

Washington.-Future wars will be
comparatively local affairs and there
is unlikely to be another World war,
according to the prediction made by
Secretary of the Navy Wilbur.
Those who prophesy that in he
next war" cities will be wiped out and
whole populations eXterminated by gas
and disease germs were placed by Will
bur in the same class as the author of
the warning that 1.-The bogy man will
get you if you don't watch out"
My own Judgment is that the next
war will be like most of the wars in
history, sporadic and local, involving
comparatively few people, and will be
relatively quickly over" the secretary
said.
Opposed to Mankind.
1.-THE chances are that the judgment
of mankind will oppose any war which
has for its purpose the determination
or humiliation of nations or peoples.
I believe that a reasonable prepa-
ration. balanced with the resources
and responsibilities of the nation, is
the best way to prevent war when di-
plOmacy and judicial processes would
otherwise fail to do So"
Those who seek to terrorize the
people by painting awful pictures of
the next war;" said Wilbur, overlook
1.-The one fundamental principle of war,
that to have a war one must have a
defense and that the means of defense
should be commensurate with the of
fense.''
BeIittIes Talk of Gas Raids.
AS to the terrible possibilities of
poison gas, the navy secretary con-
tinued, even if the treaties against it's
use are not lived up to, sit is impos-
sible to transport or to apply sufficient
quantities of such poison gas to poison
the whole population of cities or of
countries, even if it could be pro-
duced."
The picture of airships dropping
bombs on sleeping cities was disposed
of by Wilbur with the remark
You can kill anybody when he is
asleep"
Hits Wild Predictions.
The secretary continued:
"While it would be disastrous for
nation to go to sleep in view of all
the potentialities of modern warfare, it
is certainly wrong to publish and pro-
claim these extravagant predictions as
to the possible effects of future war.
ave have seen enough of war. We
have suffered great privations, great
losses of men and wealth, as has every
other nation in the world.
1--WE may not be able to prevent all
little wars. we cannot prevent all local
disturbances, but the nations of the
world should be able to forestall and
prevent anoLncr World war"

NOME GETS SERUM
TO FIGHT PLAGUE
Mushers Bring Antitoxin
After Thrilling Race
Through Billiards..

Nome, Alaska.-Stricken Nome's
long awaited diphtheria serum has
arrived
out Of a bowling blizzard at 8 20
o'clock in the morning, a great team
of strong-hearted Siberian huskies,
goaded on to the last measure of their
strength by one of the Northland's
best dog drivers, dragged the life
saving antitoXin into the settlement.
The serum, frozen solid in its con-
tainers, despite its layers of packing,
was turned over to DR. Curtis WEIGH,
Nome's lone physician, who inmedl-
ately began the task of thawing it out
and testing its strength.
Serum a Godsend.
1t is expected the serum will save
the lives Of many diphtheria victims
and check the spread of the scourge.
which is claiming new victims at the
rate of one day.
The last lap of the race with death
was made by Gunnar Kasson, hero of
hundreds of dog derbies in the old
days, who mushed 60 miles through
the death of night with the tempera-
ture ranging from 25 to 40 below
zero.
Pulling out of Bluff at 10 o'clock
at night with his champion team of
Siberian wolves, Kasson encountered
blizzard, but he didn't turn back.
Unaware of the fact that relays had
been established every ten or fifteen
miles for the last dash into Nome, he
Kept on, passing through Solomon and
later through Safety, where fresh
teams and mushers were waiting.
665 Miles in Five Days.
When he pulled into Nome in the
morning, four of his dogs were badly
frozen and it was with difficulty that
his hands were freed from the handles
of the sled
Despite this Kasson brought the
serum into the city far ahead of time,
closing test Of bravery on the part
OF men who comprise this American
outpost that has held the rapt atten-
ton of the entire United States for
days.
The 665 miles of trail over which
the relays of dog teams sped had new
er been covered before in less than
nine days. In this test the distance
was done in five days.
kasSon made his go miles in seven
hours and forty minutes. He got the
package from Musher Olson, who in
turn had picked up the serum from
the Wearied team of Harmon, an
other famed dog driver, who had
driven the huskies $50 miles from
Nome to meet Leonard Seppalla, cham
pion musher of the north country.
SeppaIla Hero of Race.
Ii was Seppalla who bore the brunt
of the most viciously winter-ndden
stretch OF the entire 665-mile race
scores of miles deep in fresh fallen
snow and with temperatures far be-
low zero, where not another human
was alive to help him.
From Seppala's dogs, exhausted and
with ice-tOrn feet, Harmon took the
antitoXin and sped 40 miles to where
Olson waited.
With five already dead, % stricken
and more than lGo persons rendered
liable to the disease By contact with
sufferers, Nome faced a horrible con-
dition because it's last drop of serum
had been used up days ago.

SENATE BODY
AGREES ON PACT
Commercial Treaty With
Germany Favorably Re-
ported by Committee.

Washington-The German CONNER
cial treaty was ordered favorably re-
ported by the senates foreign relations
committee, with two reservations. One
reservation makes the provisions in
the treaty which would prevent this
country adopting the policy of dis
eliminating duties effective for u year
The other makes it clear that nothing
in the treaty shall affect immigration
of aliens.
The committee acted following the
appearance before it of Secretaries
Hughes and Hoover to urge the need
of early ratification. No dissent was
offered on the final vote from the mo-
ton to report the treaty with reserva-
tions. Several members of the com
mittee, however, were absent.
1t is the intention of Senator Borah,
chairman of the foreign relations, to
bring the German treaty up in execu-
tive session, once the Isle of Pines
treaty is out of the way. The Repub-
lican steering committee has put the
German treaty on its program for ear
ly action.
Backs Merchant Marine.
Senator Jones of Washington, chair
man of the commerce committee, who
has for years strongly advocated
policy under which the American mer-
chant marine would be encouraged and
built up through reduction of duties on
goods carried in American bottoms,
looks on the treaty with the proposed
reservations as unsatisfactory. He be-
lieves this country should have a free
road to building up the merchant ma
rlne through discriminating duties if it
sees tit to impose such duties The
position of Secretary Hughes Is that
such a policy would invite reprisals
from which the United States would
be the loser.

A peculiar position is held by head
quarters Washington units Of the Or
ganized Reserves, in that the reserve
officers residing under its jurisdiction
all reside in the immediate vicinity OF
Washington, which makes possible
personal contact with all reserviStS.
This Is only possible in the large pop.
ulation centers, as usually the major
ity Of Organized Reserve units do not
have frequent personal contact with
a representative from the War De
partment. The reason for this is that
the Regular officer on Organized Re
serve duty has so many units assigned
to him that 1t is extremely difficult
for him to visit them frequently, as
IA result of which the inactive instruc
ton of reserve officers all over the
country is not what the War Depart
ment would like it to be. Lack OF
funds. however. is curtailing this i'm
portant work in the Organized Re

an increase in these appropriations

important announcement this week
TO all reserve officers residing in this

resides in Washington and there Is
vacancy in the division area-say,
for instance, at Richmond-he will
be Immediately assigned to that va
cancy.
The instructions also point out
that recommendation for an officers
promotion Should be made whenever
vacancy exists for his assignment
