Il don't remember what did say"
the Times quotes the admiral as say
ing. You go get the record: you will
see what / said and you viii get some
thing worth while. My remarks were
taken down geographically.
Il am not IN the habit OF predicting
war. Preparedness. in my mind and
Army men. leads TO peace and not TO
war"
The stenographic record Of the adj
miral's address was not available.
The Sunday Herald Tribuneis &C.
count of a public speech by the ad-
miral Saturday. said he was asked
later IL he anticipated war with Great
Britain"
THE answer was instant and un-
eouivocal," said the Herald Tribune
~'Yes, / mean Great Britain or some
other nation whose interests are al
fected Great Britain may not at the
outset declare war. but she VIII let
some smaller nation do that and then
get behind her"
Admiral Plunkett spoke at q non-par-

for preparedness saying that unpre-
paredne6s had cost the United States
$40 600 600 900 IN the World War. and
that future war was sure IL control OF
the sea was contested with goods and
not with guns.

WAR PREDICTIONS
ASSA|LED BY BORAH
Proposals for Bigger Navy
Are "Sheer Madness"
Senator Says.

BY the Associated Press.
The proposals before Congress .or a
greater Navy and recent predictions OF
another war over commerce constitute
sheer madness" in the opinion OF
Senator Borah. Republican. Idaho. and
dupli ate the insane policy mat
marked Anglo German relations prior
to the World War.
Attacking as ''miSchievous to the last
degree" the recent recommendation OF
Admiral Charles F. Hughes. chief oil
naval operations. for virtually billion
dollar Navy and the statement Satur-
day attributed 10 Rear Admiral Caarits
p Plunket: commandment OF the BrooK-
lvn Navy Yard. that a war with Great
Britain over commerce is inevitable. the
chairman of the Senate foreign rela-
lions committee in statement last
night said
IAN this is a part Of well ORGANIZED
plan 10 prepare the public mind 'pf
naval race. A limited number OF cluis-
ers TO help police our commerce can
be justified But this program, tog tner
with the wild and excited statements
about war. is sheer madness.

Admiral Plunkett," he continued.
repeats the old WORKOUT fable mat
the way to have peace is to prepare for
war. When the great World War broke
out the nations responsible for that
war were armed to the teeth. lhey
had bled their people white in the name
OF the hoary lie that arms mean peace.
IF one single nation could arm TO
the limit and all other nations would
refuse TO arm. it might mean peace for
that particularly armed nation. But
the minute one nation begins to arm
all other nations begin to do so. and
then a few threats are put out and war
is easy and. indeed. inevitable"
Whether another war comes or not.
the Senator believed the new naval pro-
gram would not only eliminate tax re-
duction but would increase taxes. OBJ
serving that the remaining war debt Is
about $4,000. 900 900 and that the nos
pitfalls still hold victims of the last rar.

F|vE-YEAR SCHOOL
PROGRAM FAVORED
Fairgrounds, Assembly Hall,
Library, Etc., Wanted by
D. C.. Association.

A resolution favoring the adoption OF
b new f1ve-year school building program
for the District of Columbia, follow
ing the expiration of the present So
called five-year program, was indorSed
by the District of Columbia Public
School Association last night, with the
recommendation, however, that eight
specific items be included with its adop-
ton. The meeting was in the District
Building.
The recommendations urge the fol-
lowing:
That no new school building should
be authorized except on lot large
enough to provide ample Fairgrounds
for all of the pupils in the proposed
school. and that every new school build
ing be so planned as to include pro-
vision for an assembly hall, with
stage for musical and dramatic per-
formances and a booth for picture pro-
lection apparatus; library, gymna-
Sums for boys and girls, laboratories
for work in elementary science, shops
for mechanical education and rooms for
sewing and cooking, and rooms for
drawing and for music. The reSolu-
ton further urged that in order that
such special rooms may be provided
without substantial additional cost
every building should be adapted to
plan of school organization and admin
istration that will insure all of the
rooms in the building, including the
special rooms listed above, shall be in
continuous use up to their normal ca
pacity throughout the school day.
Herbert Wood, a member of the as
sociation's executive committee, which
recommended the adoption of the reso-
luton. declared: 1.-The resolution is in
tended to indorse the platoon school
system, but at the same time to omit
the controversial word platoon
A lengthy discussion ensued at the
meeting regarding a proposal to obtain
Evening star., 1928-12-06

permission from the school authorities
to distribute little booklets containing
the Proverbs from the Bible in the pub
lie schools, as outlined by Mrs. Frances
Howlett-W Wright, president of the Com
munity Bible Readers League.
Mrs. Howlett- Wright declared that a
body organized about six months ago
under the name of the North American
Committee for the Distribution Of the
Book of Proverbs proposes to distri-
butte 100000 copies Of the book in
schools throughout the United States
to combat atheist propaganda.
After debate the association, without
obligating itself on the question, voted
to send a special committee to attend
a luncheon at the City Club next Tues
day at noon, over which Mrs. Howlett-
Wright will preside, to listen to discus
Sions on the proposition. Many clergy
men and church leaders are expected to
attend the meeting, Mrs. Howlett-
Wright said.
George A. Warren, one of the Pub
lie School Association members who was
opposed to distributing the booklets, de-
clared that the Book of Proverbs CON
tains much that reflects the barbarous
ideas of a thousand years ago" and
other passages, which he emphatically
urged the parents explain to the chill
dren before permitting them to read
the book
Oppose Circulation Of Book
Herbert Wood, another member op-
posed to the distribution of the book,
said that no special permission has been
given atheists to distribute any litera-
ture in the public schools and that
what has been given out has been
through outside sources. Both MIR.
Warren and Mr.. Wood intimated that
a special principle is involved regarding
the obtaining of permission to distribute
the books. George M. Moore also op-
posed the distribution of the book in
the schools, maintaining that the early
history of this Nation shows that "State
and religion must be separate"
w. j. Tucker and other members,
however, were strongly in favor OF the
book being distributed, expressing their
beliefs that it would be moral bene-
fit and could do no harm.
The association adopted a resolution
opposing the use of the Business High
School as an elementary school build
ing when it is abandoned as hlgn
school and recommended that 1t would
be adaptable for trade or night school.
The need of sanatorium for tubercu-
lar children was stressed at the meet
ing in an address by Mrs. E. r. Grant,
chairman of the Monday Evening CLUBS
special committee to work for such
sanatorium in the District.

on the "high ground"
The five children have writ
ten their Impressions of the
fight or struggle Of their father
to be an editor in the full meaning
of the word.
This happens in High Ground, -
the first full grown novel to be writ
ten by John Mellett Of Indianapolis
under the name Of Jonathan Brooks.
High Ground" has just been pub
lished by the Bobbs- Merrill Com
pany Of this city.
There are mighty few guys in this
world who have ever written a story
that rings true about the newspaper
business. Only once in my life have
I seen news reporter presented in
his true Light upon the stage and
only once in the movies
A newspaper man represents life
and 1t is funny that writer's can not
catch the realism of such life. It
is to the everlasting credit of Jona-
than Brooks that he has caught the
true spirit Of pioneer editor.
He has not attempted to weave
romance and fiction into the lie
story OF James Andrew Marvin.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-02-10

Marvin is of the small town and
as such he reflects the aims. homes
and failures of Main st.
1t is this simplicity and this hon.
esty in character drawing tina,
makes High Ground" what it is
Brooks has not attempted to pad the
character of Marvin. The author
permits the four sons and the
daughter to write their own story of
their dad.
And in so doing you get clearly
and simply the true character of the
children as well as of the father and
mother. Here is a family circle por-
trait that is only equaled in Grand
mothers" Not that High Ground
ranks in the literary class OF
"Grandmothers," but it paves the
way toward a better and more hon
est opinion of What newspaper men
stand for and fight for.
The beauty in High Ground" is
reflected in the way that life is re-
Elected in the various characters.
You will find the strength as well
as the weakness in this Main st.
Editor. And there is real beauty
and truth in both qualities.
But 1t seems to me that 1t re-
mains for Ruth when she writes of
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-02-10

her father had gathered in his ex-
perience Of making a small town
safe for itself.
There is no fiction in this novel
it is the simple story of man buck
ing the world that he found on Main
st. 1t IS the truest picture of an
editor that have ever found in a
story.
An Introduction
Brooks introduction to High
Ground" is such high quality that
I give it to you in full:
More truly still. it is a wise son that
knows his own father Likewise. there
is something to be gained from the study
of losers more. should say. than from
the study of winners. especially If by
any chance the loser happens to be a
winner.
This is a character study. which is
novel need be. He says, too. that if your
novel presents more than the one central
character; so that your reader can see
not one, but two or three or four charac-
ters, and hear them talk, and read their
better novel,
However. l am not striving to accom-
modate a critical dictum. I merely wish
you to meet James Andrew Marvin. and
so I present him to you in these pages.
l knew him better. I believe. than any
other one person did, but feel that my
bined knowledge of his five children with
the Biblical names. In order that you
should feel really acquainted with him.
/ have prevailed on these I'VE to set down
