Duty to Keep Peace.
OUR first duty 1* to maintain peace,
tout, of course, not ' peace at any
price,” and it 1* alwaya possible to
maintain peace, even thouj£* we
should be ready to pay any price in
dishonor, diagrace and disaster for it.
We alone can not decide the ques
tion of peace, as there are always two
parties to a controversy We should
be willing to make great concessions
for the sake of peace; but should we
ever have an enemy, a* we may have,
they might not be willing to accept
such concession*, and probably would
not, be unless we were prepared to
maintain our position.
Disarmament would be a good thing
%f the great nations of the world would
ail disarm, but If we should disarm
while others remained armed and
•quipped, we would toe at their mercy
and, without doubt, would, toe ground
beneath tholr feet
By DANIEL a ANTHONY.
(Congressman from Kansas and Mem
ber of the House Committee on
Military Affaire.)
There is not the slightest auestlon
that the United States should main
tain a strong navy, It being our first
Hoe of defonee from the aggression
of any foreign power. An adequate
navy Is not necessarily the largest
nAvy In the world.
A Ufciited States navy consisting of
an adequate number of the most mod
em dreadnought cruisers, battleships
and submarine* is sufficient for de
fensive purposes against the nary of
a foreign power having double the
number of such ship* when used
strictly for defensive purpose* and
•upported by the most modem system
of coast defenses in the world, which
the United States certainly has.
What we must have is a reason
ably strong mobile army In order to
defend our great dtiee from land at
tack.
Since the United States hss adopted
the policy of placing strong garri
sons in Hawaii and In Panama, the
mobile army in the United States has
been depleted to a pitifully small
number
Wants Biaaer Army.
I shall favor in the next pension of
Congress sn increase In the mobile
army of not less than 2R regiments,
or more than 60 regiments, and the
enactment of legislation as well for
the creation of a reserve army either
along the linos of further Federal en
oouragement of our present national
guard syetm or the creation of a new
army of Federal reserves
We ought to have twice as many of
ficers and twice as many enlisted men
as we now have to give us a reel
regular army, although in time of war
our splendid body of highly trained
regular officers could undoubtedly be
depended upon to train and com
mand a voltm-lser army of half a
million men 1n a few months.
A regular army of 150,000 men for
the United States is no larger than
nbcessarv to properly police our own
country in time of Internal emergen
cy, aside from the consideration of
Rational defense.
Sees Compulsory Service.
It is my opinion that sooner or
later the question of cost alone will
compel the adoption hy this country
tof some modified form of compulsory
military service. It would be tne best
possible thing for the young men of
America If every boy at some time be
tween the ages of 17 and 21 would
have to serve a year, or at least six
months, with the colors of hi* coun
try.
The developments of the last year
have shown It to be suicidal for any
mutton which is commercially great to
be unprepared to defend Itself from
the aggression of other nations actu
ated by motive* of commercial ri
valry or racial pride.
Our policy of watchful waiting 1n
Mexico has been a failure. The Eu
ropean nations seem no longer to re
spect the American flag flying above
the decks of a merchant ship. There
is a way to secure proper respect
from the strongest nations of the
world and to compel our weaker
neighbor* to maintain orderly civ
ilized governments. The first step in
this direction ttfhmiM he taken by the
next Congress by proper provision for
strong Increases for both our naval
and military establishments.
with other member* of Congress,
where I inspected our harbors and for
tifications.
In my Judgment, we should fortify
our ports on the Atlantic and Pacific,
in Hawaii and Porto Hico, with gun*
of longer reach than the battleships of
any oountrv carry.
We should Increase the number and
be sure of the efficiency of the subma
rine and aviation arms of our de
fenses.
We should enlarge our standing
armv and our navy.
W® should be so well prepared for
war that we may maintain peace with
the great nations that are now dis
posed to adjust international differ
ence* by force of arms.
With superior coast defenses, avia
tion and submarine fleets, a large navy
and a strong army back of us, we
should command wise statesmanship
and diplomacy snd sav© our country
from the horrors of war.

By B. a HUMPHREYS.
^Congressman from Mississippi.)
Your letter of June 2 received I am
in favor of legislation that will pro
vide for "an adequate navy.”
It 1* difficult to give an exact defini
tion of that phrase, “adequate navy,”
hut with conditions ss they are to-day
In the world I think the term adequate
navy should be Interpreted to mean &
navy second only in strength and effl-
cienc/to the navy of England.
I do believe that our first duty is to
maintain peace, but 1 do not think we
should prepare for war On the con
trary, I think we should prepare
against war, and hy *o preparing I be
lieve we could do much toward the
maintenance of peace.
By SCOTT FERRI9.
(Congressman from Oklahoma.)
Like all other patriotic Americans,
I am in favor or an adequate navy
and an adequate army to Insure pro
tection.
Of course, what an “adequate
navy** or an “adequate army” is, as
in the past, will, in the future, vary
with the closing of each day. The
new methods of warfare have placed
me In a maze of doubt as to what
the proper course of our country
should be. The present war, a* we
all know, is not being fought alone
on land and sea as & whole, but be
neath the water and through the air
as well.
The great strides that submarines
have made as destroyers have made
me pause and wonder what is an “ad
equate navy,” and whether any of us
would be Justified In putting millions
In battleships only to be sunk by sub
marines.
By GEORGE W. P. HUNT.
(Governor of Arizona.)
In my opinion, such national expan
sion as does not necessitate unjust ac
quisition of territory by conquest is
compatible with the growth of the
United States as a great world power.
To this end It is, in my opinion, es-
•entlal that our nary shall be in
creased to the point where it will be
superior to that of any other country.
I would, moreover, regard it a*
proper that the United States should
take steps to build up a standing army
of 300.000, looking toward the ultimate
creation of a reserve force of equal
numerical strength Although it is
probable that the groat civilized pow
ers of the world will be reluctant, in
future years, to invite another conflict
of auch disastrous proportions as that
now prevailing between the countries
of Europe, preparedness for war, nev
ertheless. is. in my opinion, the best
peace insurance obtainable pending
the arrival of that time when nations
shall become more deeply Imbued with
the fundamental tenets of civiliza
tion
By LAWRENCE Y. SHERMAN,
(Senator from Illinois.)
I believe if the United States is to
grow' as she ought in influence and
power, and provide Adequate safe
guards from foreign aggression, her
military and naval forces ought to be
strengthened.
I favor legislation that will provide
for a larger standing army and for mi
adequate navy. A standing army
ought to be in the neighborhood of
260,000 men. We ought to provide for
a voluntary military service that will
give, in addition to the foregoing
number, at least 260,000 reserves
I believe in an additional military
academy to be located in the Middle
West at some point along the Missis
sippi River, or near it, and a naval
academy on the Pacific Coast.
An “adequate” navy Is one that I
shall not undertake to specifically de
fine at this time more than to say we
ought to have the tentative 48 battle
ships recommended by the naval
board some time ago, with appro
priate auxiliary forces to sustain
them. Our development of the sub
marine and of proper aircraft ought
to be Included in the foregoing. I
believe It to be criminal negligence to
remain indifferent to our present lack
of defensive armament, both on land
and sea.
International Union.
Our first duty Is to maintain peace
To that end I believe in an interna
tional union based on an arbitral
tribunal. Difficulties ought to be ar
bitrated. and wars to be, so far as
International honor will permit, or
territorial integrity Justify, avoided.
A Joint armament under such an
agreement Is to be maintained by the
signatory nations for the protection
of its members and defense against
the aggressions of any nonagreeing
nation attacking any one or more
members of that union. This effort
may appear to be too idealistic to
some. It does not to me. It repre
sents the highest form of interna
tional law that has yet appeared
among civilized peoples. It Is worthy
of the best effort of nations.
The end of the pre.«ent European
war marks a great possibility. It
ought not nass unimproved. Modern
war has grown so destructive of life
ana property and so burdensome in
debt, that a compact of many nations
is necessary to sustain modern civ
ilization. To ignore the opportunity
is to endanger the net results of hu
man effort for many thousand years.
PARIS, July 3. The death of
Adele Hugo leaves ths family of ths
great writer represented by two
grandchildren and four great-grand
children. Victor Hugo's elder dau#i-
ter, Leopoldlne, married Charles Vac-
querie and was drowned with her hus
band by a boating accident a few
months after her marriage. His son
Francois died In 1873 and left no chil
dren. IIin son Charles Victor, who
died in 1871, left two children, still
living, Georges Victor Hugo and
Jeanne Hugo. Georges Victor mar
ried Pauline Menard-Orian, who di
vorced him and Is now the wife of
Herman Paul, the well-known arUst
and cartoonist. Georges Victor ther
married Mme. AJalbert, a cousin of
hi* first wife, who had been divorced
by her husband, Jean AJalbert, the
curator of Malmaison Museum. By
his first marriage Georges Victor
Hugo is father of two children, Jean
Hugo and Marguerite, and by his
second of one son, Francois Hugo
Jeanne Hugo. Victor Hugo's other
grandchild, was first married to Leon
Daudet, snd had one sory Charley
After a divorce, she married the Ant
arctic explorer Charcot, and when this
marriage ended in a divorce she mar
ried a Greek named Negroponts, who
died some months ago.
Victor Hugo bequeathed all his
copyrights to Adele, in trust, with
reversion to his grandchildren,
Georges Victor snd Jeanne. Owing to
his long life and to copyright exist
ing until R0 years after an author's
death, these rights represent a large
sum In 1R84 they produced o v*»r
$200,000, and although they have fa.ll-
ofT in recent year*, they have
never yielded leas than 110.0(H) a year.
Bacon and Eggs Add
To Conscience Fund
WASHINGTON. July 8.—The Sec
retary of War has received from Chi
cago a letter Inclosing 20 cents in
stamps with the statement that the
sum is inclosed “for bacon and eggs ”
Mr. Garrison could not recall the
transaction, so he turned the letter
over to the Treasury Department,
where the 20 cents was added to the
“conscience fund." It is supposed
that a retired soldier during his term
of enlistment ate more than the law
allowed and that he now compensates
the Government for his meal.
The “conscience fund,” which in
reality has a separate existence only
on paper, has been growing slowly
since President Madison’* adminis
tration. when a contribution of $5 was
received. Thepe contributions now
total marly $500,000.
Twin Boys Arrive
While Train Is Held
DRAVOSBURG, PA., July 3.—
Twins were born to Mrs. Harriet Sto-
vallin on a Pennsylvania Railroad
train Just ns the engine pulled Into
the local depot. The train was In
charge of Conductor Moffit, who ap
parently has had previous experience
in such situation. No sooner had h s
train come to a stop than he dAshed
to a telephone,, and within twenty
minute* an ambulance, bearing a
physician, arrived on the scene.
While the stork was busy adding
two small boys to the population of
Pennsylvania. Conductor Moffit held
his train at the depot. When Mr*.
Stovallin and her babies were taken
Into the ambulance and started for
the hospital, Conductor Moffit wished
them godspeed.
'Jags’ Are Marked
Down From $21 to $1
ST. PAUL, July 1.—E. Little, a
diamond dealer, has transformed a
physical misfortune into a business
asset, and is to-day heralded as an
expert because he had an abnormal
cataract in his eye. For years he
used a microscope with which to de
tect flaw’s in diamonds. Then came
the cataract. Oculists said he would
lose the sight of the eye.
One day he mislaid his mlscroscope.
and, plkclng his partly closed hand
as a magnifying gins* neck, he found
he could Judge gems better than with
his microscope. The cataract acta as
magnifying lens, oculists say.

"If the LTnited States Is to grow as

it not necessary that her military and
naval forces be strengthened?'’
It is.
“Do you favor the enactment of
legislation that would provide for a
larger standing army and for an ade
quate navy?”
I do.
“Just what do you understand by
the term adequate, In this connec
tion?”
I think there should be some rea
sonable increase 4r» our standing
army, not to run Into the millions or
the hundreos of thousands, but I
think it might well be increased per
haps a £ much as 60 per cent and
there might well be some provision
made for a reserve force. I think the
best way to make our navy adequate
would be to provide each year for the
construction of a reasonable number

LOB ANGELES. July 3.—A frail

Funeral Announced,
But 'Dead' Man Lives
RICKVILLE, MD„ July 8.— Mont
gomery County negroes are fond of
attending funerals. When one of
their number dies there Is always a
large outpouring at the funeral. Sev
eral days ago it was announced that
James Brown, an aged colored resi
dent, had died and that his funeral
was to take place from Round Oak
Baptist Church.
At the hour set the church was
crowded and everything was in readi
ness to give the old man a good
“send-off," when someone arrived and
announced that the report of Brown's
death was all a mistake and that he
was well and hearty. Instead of a fu

was held, during which Myerly Jack-

residents of that section of the coun

Unfortunately, however, she secured a

the permission of the court she can not
marry within a year.
To overcome the difficulty she has
just filed In the District Court a peti

modified to allow her to marry at once.
Alleging that she is dependent upon her
father for her own support and that of
the two children, whose care was given

HUNTINGTON, W. VA., July 8.-—
Owing to the industrial depression
the price of a “plain drunk" in Hunt

last July, when the prohibition law
went into effect, providing for a min
imum fine of $21 for drunkenness, ai\d
under the nev ordinance a fine may
be a* low as $1.
A Jail eentence up to 30 days may

decided that the $21 minimum fine is
a hardship on the poor man com
pelled to serve out his fine while his
family Is deprived of his support.

Bachelors Lead as
Bad Men, Says Judge
BOSTON, July 3.—The bad men
are mostly bachelors, * according to
Judge Irwin. In sentencing two pick
pockets in the Superior Court, he
said:
“Young men. when you are released,
my advice to you is to get married.
Seventy-five per cent of the men who
commit crime are unmarried.”
Following is a synopsis of the
chapters of Jess Willard's autobiog
raphy, which appeared in The Geor
gian last week:
Ah soon as Willard got to Chicago
he started in with gymnasium work
at O’Connell’s, which was a great
hangout for fighters.
One day as he was exercising Jack
JohnBon came in. Johnson was then
training for his light with Jim Flynn
in New Mexico. Johnson inquired if
any one wanted to do a little boxing,
and not getting a reply, invited Je*s
Willard, telling him that he looked
like a big fellow' and that the cham
pion "never hurt green boys.” Wil-
iiard told him that he would not box
with him because some day he In
tended to really fight him and that
he had better wait until they got into
the ring. Johnson seemed nonplussed
for a moment and then grinned good
natu redly.
Willard watched Johnson work and
then knew that he could whip him.
Every time he read of Johnson open
ing wine after that he figured that
there would be just one round less to
fight.
His Fi’rst “Clever” Fight.
On his way to Chicago, Willard
had engaged Charlie Cutler as his
manager. It wasn’t long before he
got Jess a match with a fighter named
John Young. This was pulled off :n
Fort Wayne, Ind., and Willard w r on In
the sixth round. ThiR was the first
fight in which he made any effort to
be "clever.”
His next fight was in St. Charles,
Ill., with a big fellow named Frank
Bauer. He also laid him away in
the third round with a left hook.
After whipping Bauer, Willard took
Young on again before a South Chi
cago club. This time he put him away
in the fifth round, after which Cut
ler decided to take Jess to New York.
When they arrived In New York the
sporting writers took Willard as a
joke and managers would not give
him a chance. Cutler took him to
every fight and Introduced him as “a
white hope.”
After they had been there a little
while without results, Cutler quit
him as manager and left Willard flat
broke. He went to see Billy Heck
ler. a. relative of Tom O'Rourke, and
Heckler agreed to get him some
fights.
Whipped Pelkey.
His first match was with Arthur
Pelkey, who was looked on as a
comer. It was supposed that Willard
would be a chopping block for him.
Pelkey thought so, too, and tried to
knock him out right away, but he
could not do it. The fight went the
full ten rounds and In the last round
Pelkey was unable to land a single
blow. Owing to the law iri New York
there could be no decision by the
referee, but the newspapers agreed
that Willard won by & mile.
Even this, however, did not make
the sporting public take Jess seri
ously. They said he was too good-*
natured to be a fighter, because ne
didn’t bite, kick or try to kill his op
ponents.
The Pelkey fight took place on
July 29, 1912, and Willard wanted to
get another match right away. He
succeeded In arranging one with
Luther McCarty on August 19. Mc
Carty later met his death In a fight
with Pelkey. What seemed to be a
light swing on the jaw crumpled Mc
Carty up, and he died In the ring.
The night Willard met him In Mad
ison Square Garden he was big and
healthy, however, having just come
back from licking Carl Morris and t ie
sporting public was hailing him as
the future champion. They did not
figure that Willard had a look-in.
Not Given Credit Yet.
The fight went the full ten rounds
and the sporting writers gave the de
cision to Willard, and McCarty went
back West. Even then Willard did
not get as much credit as he thought
he ought to have.
Since going into the game Willard
had fought thirteen fights in eigh
teen months, with a total return in
money of $900. He says this is an
argument. against the belief that all
prize fighters make barrels of money.
When he could not get a decent
percentage in New York he went to
Buffalo and licked a “white hope’’
named Sailor White, for which he got
$180. He put White out in one
round.
He had another fight in Buffalo,
which is not a matter of record, when
he thra*hed a teamster who tried to
knock hia head off with the loaded
end of a whip.
Willard disposes of the belief In
some quarters that he is just a big
buskv who jumped from the back of
a cow pony into the championship in
one day because of his strength. As
a matter of fact, he had thirty fights
before he whipped Johnson, and four
years of daily drudgery.
Career Like Corbett’s.
He points out that Corbett had the
same stories told about him. A lot
of people thought that .Tim stepped
out of a bank cage right into the ring
with Sullivan. The truth is that he
had been out of the bank six years
and during that time he worked and
fought as hard as he knew howw’th
such men as Choynski, Peter Jackson.
Jake Kilrain, Jim Hall and all the
other top-notchers.
Likewise, people thought that Jim
Jeffries laid down his boilermaker's
hammer one day and fought Bob
Fitzsimmons the next, but he, too,
served his apprenticeship. Fitzsim
mons fought eleven years before he
won the middleweight championship,
and It took him six years more be-

John Morrissey then comes In for a
highly complimentary description of
his work as a fighter and his later

tributes his clean politics to the fact
that the prize ring taught him to be

Just when things were going
smoothly for Willard the New York
Boxing Commission barred him from
fighting in that State for one year.
The whole thing was a misunder
standing between a club in Buffalo
and Willard. Willard claimed that
the olub broke its contract and he
therefore refused to live up to his to
fight “One Round Davis.” It must
be remembered that Willard was fight
ing for money as well as for experi
ence, and when Dgvis, after he had
been matched with Willard, went off
and fought another man first and got
licked, Willard figured that this would
spoil the “gate;” so he left Buffalo
and took on Soldier Kearns, the man
who had whipped Davis.
He knocked Kearns out In the
eighth with a right on the Jaw and
after the referee had counted him out
he helped carry the defeated one to
his corner. The Soldier has had a
“glass Jaw” ever since. It was right
after this that the Boxing Commis
sion ruled Willard out for a year.
Willard says he might have fallen
by the wayside as a result of what
he terms unfair treatment had it not
been for the good advice of a strang
er gave him on a bench in Madison
Square Park. The stranger was not
a very successful man himself, from
his appearance, but he knew how to
give good advice and Willard had
sense enough to take it. The next
day Willard went to Chicago and
wrote to the club at Fort Vayne,
where he had fought before, asking
for a match, and they made one for
him with Frank Bauer, whom he
put away in the fifth round.
Believes in Regulations.
Jack Leon next faced Willard be
fore the same club and went away
in the fourth round.
Willard believes In boxing com
missions and that every State should
have one. It is the fake fights which
enable gamblers to fleece come-ons,
he says. He declares that a neighbor
of his In the West lost $12,000 in SL
Louis on a cooked-up fight.
He alio declared that the Sharkey-
Fitzsimmons fight in San Francisco
was a fake. Wyatt Earp, a Western
“bad man” and gun fighter was the
referee. All those who bet on form
put their money on Fitzsimmons,
while the “wise money,” It was no
ticed, went down on Sharkey. This
itself should have been enough to
Indicate that a crooked deal was on
Fitzsimmons was warned n,ot to hit
Sharkey below the neck for fear of
the blow being called a foul. In the
eighth round Fltzslmmon knocked
Sharkey down with a right on the
Jaw. but the Sailor put his hand on
Ms groin and let out a groan, where
upon Earp declared a “foul” and
awarded the fight to Sharkey. The
next time the*© two men met, Fitz
simmons knocked the Sailor out in
two rounds.
