few and too feeble to handle an en-
campment here"

national ofiicers stating automatically
the position Of John M. Kline. local
department commander, and other
local officers. Previously, however. it
was disclosed, the Commissioners for
mally invited the Civil War Union
veterans here, after Congress had
made the appropriation.
To counteract the opposition,
Mrs. Margaret Hopkins Worrell, SIS
East Clifton Terrace, issued an invi-
tation to the veterans to come here
next year on behalf of the Ladies of
the G. A. R., Department Of the
Potomac.
Mrs. Worrell explained she is past

Of the G. A. r.; past president De-
partment Of the Potomac, Ladies OF
the G. A. R.; past president William
H. Beck Circle, past national legis-
lative chairman Ladies Of the G. A. r.

From the Japanese standpoint the
huge danger in the present prospective
state of affairs Is in its inherent lack
Of permanency. When a subjected
but adroit people are always looking
for chance to slip from the yoke Of
"benefactors" there Is no assurance
that the yoke will be permanent.
Japan may be able to exploit China,
but the cost to Japan is constant
monetary expense, evaporation and
danger Of having to use military force.
Always there is the danger that
China may turn and fight. and despite
the lack Of munitions, despite chaos
into which Sino-Japanese war would

LATIN AMERICA SEEN
REALISTIC In WAR VIEW
Will Be ON Side of Geneva if Showdown
Comes Out of Present Uncertainty,
Observer SAYS.

Americans, as we explained last week,
have outgrown their romantic enthu-
siasm for the idealism of the League
and fully realize now that this is,
mainly, the instrument Of the leading
European powers to preserve the status
quo and keep the sated nations from
being attacked by the hungry ones.
But the present Latin American gov
ernments have nothing to gain from
an alteration of the status quo. They
probably would be on the side Of its
supporters when the showdown came.
What some Of them refuse to do is
to make sacrifices-important sacri-
fees, in view Of their large commercial
links with Italy-even before the Euro
pean powers and the League itself
have demonstrated their sincerity in
outlawing Italy and the extent to
which they will go in enforcing their
judgment.
Statesmen as Realists.
In other words, the Latin American
statesmen who refused to be rallied
by the first expressions of indignation
against Italy coming from Geneva,
have proved themselves realists. They
can no longer be moved by the tradi-
tional appeal to their idealistic and
humanitarian sentiments, as so often
in the past. But. precisely because
they are realists, If the League finally
crosses the Rubicon" and shows her
intention to enforce peace even at
the price Of war, they would be the
first to realize that, even though the
League had done so only because the
desire for peace happened to coincide
with the interests of the big powers,
the interests of their own Latin Amer
ican countries would also happen to
coincide with them.
After all, no matter how material
istic and even selfish the aims of the
League powers may be, and no mat
ter how Utopian a system Of perma-
nent peace may appear under the
present organization Of society, If the
League actually undertook to punish
Italy with force, there could be no
hesitancy as to where the interests Of
the Latin American governments lies.
Not merely as q matter of principle
and tradition-and there is a Latin
American tradition for peace and the
codifcation of international law-but.
more pragmatically speaking, as a
means of insuring their own safety
for the future, the Latin American
countries, without exception, would
align themselves against the outlaw"
They would do SO, however, not in
the belief that they were contributing
to make the world safe for democracy,
but in the confidence that, out of the
struggle, there would emerge o
stronger instrumentality for the pres
ervation of peace. And even though
this may be now, and may continue
to be in the future, primarily the
servant Of the interests of the big
European powers, it could not help but
aid indirectly the interests Of small
countries elsewhere, which can only
live and prosper In peace.
Pacifists and internationalists, there
fore, need not worry. The Latin Amer
ican nations will be there, when and
II the roll is called, but some Of them
refuse to be stampeded before the
League has proven her determination
to carry out the law.

Controversy Over Battle of Jutland
Unsettled by Death of .JellicOe

Probably as long as men go down to
the sea in ships there will be contro-
Versy about the battle of Jutland,
greatest naval clash of modern times.
The death of Admiral Jellicoe, First
Viscount of Scapa, commander of the
British fleet in the engagement, serves
only to revive debate which now has
continued for nearly 20 years and
which probably is destined to continue
forever.
Fought on May 81, 1916, the battle
has been claimed as victory by each
side. Actually, to the layman, it seems
to have been a draw; but so casual
o verdict is contemptuously rejected
BY mariners of all nations and classes
every sailor has an opinion about
It: a rigidly definite opinion for which
he can argue with plausible logic.
British Victory Claim.
Jellicoe's attitude was summarized
as follows: 1.-THE British claim to VIC
tory rested on: Cd the fact that the
German high sea feet, from the mo-
ment that the British battle feet ap-
peared, consistently refused action
and rnaneuvered with the sole object
of returning safely to its base, (2) the
fact that on June the movements Of
the British grand feet were directed
toward a renewal of the action as soon
as the German high sea fleet could
be located, while, on the other hand,
Admiral Scheer himself states that,
owing to the condition of many units
of his feet, he did not consider it de-
sirable to seek an offensive against
even the II British ships reported by
airsfip Lii to the westward OF the
Horn Reef on the morning of June l,
and (S) the fact that the German
feet only once left the vicinity of
the Heligoland Blight after the battle
of ,Jutland, viz, on August 19. 1915.
and on that occasion Admiral Scheer,
warned by his numerous airships sta
toned to the northward that the
British battle feet was at sea and
steering to meet him, retired to his
base long before the fleets were In
contact"
THE answer of Admiral Reinard

German high sea feet, was: Com

Genseric, Odoacer. Theodore and
Totila in the fifth and sixth centuries
AID.
The collapse of the empire. how
ever, signified only the commence
ment-not the conclusion-of the
troubles of Italy. Powerless to resist,
the peninsula suffered the invasion
of land pirates of every devastating
variety. The Lombards, Charlemagne,
Henry w, the French again and
again, the Spaniards, the AustrianS
and the Sardinians were among the
conquerors who swept the country
with fire and sword. And, true to
tradition, the Italians fought among
themselves during such periods as
they were free from foreign attack
For sheer bitterness such struggles
as those between the Guelphs and the
Ghibellines, papal and imperial fac
tions, from the twelfth to the close
of the fifteenth century, hardly could
be surpassed.
Adventures Seize Control.
Internecine difficulties, naturally
enough in the recent as well as in
the distant past, provided opportunity
for ambitious adventurers, some less
selfish than others but all illiberal.
Rien1 in 1347, Charles VIII and Louis
XII of France, the Visconti, Colonna,
Orsini and Medici families, the Re
naissance Popes, Mazzini in 1881
Cavour and Garibaldi in 1862, Ca
dorna, La Marmora and Victor En-
manuel in 1870 differed in many
things but were alike in their am
bition for control of national affairs.
The re-established kingdom of Italy,
proclaimed on ST. Patrick's day, 1861,
was not q democracy. Instead, its
principles, purposes and methods re-
sembled those of Mussolini in more
ways than one. The Fascist concep-
ton of the state and of the peoples
relation to the government is nothing
new. It's genealogy traces to the
Roman legions Of antiquity. Regi-
mented patriotism Is the spirit which
prompted its revival and has pre-
served it against the wrath Of the
world. 1t represents the same force
which has kept Italy almost constantly
at war for undetermined ages.
Mussolini presumably, is justified
in his claim to speak for "the soul
Of the Italian nation" II he sue
ceeds, he will pass into history as
the greatest Italian since the first
Caesar, but even if he fails he still
will be immortal as q legend Of mas
terful domination of the type which
his people always have loved.
