MACVEAGH TO VISIT u. S.

Private Business. He Says.

TOXIC, March &c OP).-Charles
MacVeagh, United States Ambassador
to Japan, it was learned, has
booked passage on the Empress of
Russia, sailing April 20, to spend two
months in America. Mrs. MacVeagh
probably will remain in Japan If
Summer home is obtainable.
Mr.. MacVeagh insists that private
business makes the journey necessary
and it has no political significance.
Nevertheless 1t is intimated in some
quarters that President Coolidge may
have summoned him to Washington
either for a personal report on the
japanese situation in connection with
the coming disarmament conference
or because he Is being considered for
a post in the cabinet. All these
rumors, however, are purely specu-

BAKER EXPLAINS
u. S. WAR REASON
Insists America BattIed for
Rights-Says Time viii
Assess Objective.

By the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, March 26.-The
United States entered the World war
only because German submarines tor
pedoed this country's ships. Newton
d. Baker. Secretary of War under
President Wilson, says today in an ar
ticle in the American Legion Monthly
on why We Went to War
Sentimental considerations are
swept aside by the former secretary.
Defend National Rights.
1--WE could permit ourselves to be
blockaded by a threat and terrorized
into a surrender of our national rights,
or we could defend them he writes.
There was no propaganda about this.
Nobody debated whether the French
or British needed our help or ought
to have it. Not a moments consider
alton was given to the rescuing of
anybody else's cause.
"Those who sacrificed their time,
strength and substance. perhaps, did
not argue it all out. Those who gave
their lives may have had but an in
explicit consciousness of the thing at
stake.
Time Will Answer.
''Yet in the last analysis, those
who died in France died for the same
great cause as those who fell at Bran
dywine. Spiritually it was the guns
of Bunker Hill and Yorktown that
answered and overcame the torpedo
of the submarine"
Baker takes issue with the view
that the country's declaration of war
was tinged with commercial consid-
erations, and concludes that only
time can answer fully the question of
whether, after all. we did accomplish
what we set out to do

EXCaVators in the Internal ReVe-
nue BuilolinG site. just south of the
Post Office Department Building, have
struck water.
The steam shovel which yesterday
broke ground for the Federal h0us
ing program in Washington after go
ing down only Il few feet has already
opened two or three sources of run
ming water. which has been pouring
into the hole in sufficient quantities
TO make pump necessary. The pump
has been working steadily along with
the steam shovel to hold down the
level of the water, the source of which
has not been determined. There were
rumOrs that some old water main, un-
charted by the Water Department
may have broken, but the Water De
partment had no record of any com
plants having been registered.
At the Treasury Department it was
said that water might be expected a
few feet below the surface at that
point. according to the drilinGs which
had been made previously with a view
to determining the character of the
subsoi for foundation purposes.

Md. was confirmed today by Bishop
James f. Freeman of the Protestant
Episcopal Diocese Of Washington.

nation was submitted as a result OF

case. Rev. Mr.. Whitmore and Rev
l.. X. Long. pastor Of the Leonard
town Methodist Church, engaged in a
written debate published in the
Beacon, weekly newspaper of Leonard
town.
The Methodist pastor attacked the
Sacco-NanZetti sympathizers as ma I'd
lin sentimentalsts' and Rev. Mr..
Whitmore hotly defended them, at the
same time attacking Judge Webster
Thayer. who presided at the trial.
Rev. Mr. Whitmore is militant
pacifist. foe of funda amentalism and
prohibition and a staunch defender of
Sacco and EanZetti. In addition TO
the controversy with Mr.. Long he on.
gagged IN several verbal tits with his
parishoners on the subject.
Rev. Mr.. Whitmore will continue as
rector Of ST. Georges Church at
Valley Lee, his principal parish, the
bishop said. He said the Leonard
town church is less important
chapel OF which Rev. Mr. Whitmore
served as rector. The rector is repre-
sentative for southern Maryland on
the executive council OF the Washing.
ton diacese. Before going to Mary.
land he was rector Of st. Agnes
