Duty to Keep Pence.
i OUR first duty is to maintain peace,
'but, of course, not “pea*.e at any
brice,” and it ia always possible to
maintain peace, even though we
•hould be ready to pay any price In
dishonor, disgrace and disaster for it.
I We alone can not decide the ques
tion of peace, as there are always two
parties !o a controversy. We should
be willing to make great concessions
for the sake of peace, but should we
^ver have an enemy, as 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
if the great nations of the world would
all disarm, but if we should disarm
while others remained armed and
•quipped, we would be at their mercy
and, without doubt, would be ground
beneath their feet.

> r There is not the slightest question
that the United States should main
tain a strong navy, It being our first
line of defense from the aggression
of any foreign power. An adequate
navy is not necessarily the largest
navy in the world.
A United States navy consisting of
an adequate number of the most mod
ern dreadnought cruisers, battleships
and submarines is sufficient for de
fensive purpose* against the navy of
a foreign power having double the
number of such ships when used
? atrictly for defensive purposes and
\ supported by the most modern system
of coast defenses in the world, which
the United States certainly has.
g What we must have 1* a reason
ably strong mobile army in order to
defend our great cities from land at
tack
| Since the United States has adopted
the policy of plncing strong garri
sons in Hawaii and in Panama, the
mobile army in the United States has
- been depleted to a pitifully small
number
Wants Biciger Army.
I ehall favor in the next session of
ffCongress an increase in the mobile
armv of not less than 25 regiments,
or more than BO regiments, and the
£ WBActment of legislation as well for
, the creation of a reserve army either
; |gJong the lines of further Federal en
couragement of our present national
llfuard svstm or the creation of a new
farmv of Federal reserve*.
We ought to have twice as many of-
^flcers and twice as many enlisted men
if as we now have to give us a real
TlTegular army, although In time of war
Jr lour splendid body <*T highly train'd
BTegular officer* could undoubtedly be
^depended upon to train and com-
ftnaiul a volunteer army of half a
Smillion men in a few months.
A regular army of 150,000 men for
the United States is no larger than
accessary to properly police our own
country In time of internal emergen
cy, aside from the consideration of
national defense.
See* Compulsory Service.
It Is my opinion that sooner or
(later the question of cost alone will
ICompe! the adoption by this country
|Of eome modified form of compulsory
t military service It would be the best
j possible thing for the young men of
J America If every boy at some time be
| tween the ages of IT and 21 would
I have to serve a year, or at least six
vmonths, with the colors of hls coun
try.
The developments of the last year
have shown It to be suicidal for any
nation which is commercially great to
if be unprepared to defend Itself from
| the aggression of other nations adu
lated by motives of commercial ri-
fvalry or racial pride,
f Our policy of watchful waiting in
f Mexico has been a failure. The Eu-
*3 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
1 nbUhbors to maintain orderly civ-
* ill zed governments. The first step in
i this direction should be taken by the
! next Congress by proper provision for
j gtrong increases f<>r both our naval
•nd military establishments.
By GEORGE W. P. HUNT.
(Governor of Arizona.)
In mv 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-
( eential that our navy shall be ln-
$ creased to the point where it will be
? superior to that of any other country-
I would, moreover, regard it as
| proper that the United States should
1 take steps to build up a standing army
I of 300.000, looking toward the ultimate
T creation of w reserve force of equal
l numerical strength. Although It Is
| probable that the great civilized jkiw-
• era of the world will be reluctant. In
; future years, to Invite another conflict
h of such disastrous proportions as that
| now prevailing between the countries
I of Europe, preparedness for war, nev-
| ertheless. is in my opinion, the best

from the horrors of war.
By B. G. HUMPHREYS.
(Congressman from Mi**i**ippi.)
Your letter of June 2 received. I am
in favor of legislation that will pro
vide for “an adequate navy.”
It Is difficult to give an exact defini
tion of that phrase, "adequate navy,”
but with conditions as they are to-day
In the world I think the term adequate
navy should be Interpreted to mean a
navy second only In strength and effi
ciency to the navy of England.
I do believe that our first duty is to
maintain peace, but I do not think we
should prepare for war. On the con
trary, I think we should prepare
against war. and by go prejmrlng I be
lieve we could do much toward the
maintenance of peace.
By SCOTT FERRIS.
(Congressman from Oklahoma.)
Like all other patriotic Americans,
I am in favor of an adequate navy
and an adequate urtrty 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. Th«
new methods of warfare have placed
mo in a maze of doubt as to what
the proper course of our country
should be. The present war, as we
all knew, is not being fought alone
on land and sea as a whole, but be
neath the water and through the air
as well.
The great strides that submarines
have made ns 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 LAWRENCE Y. SHERMAN,
(Senator from lllinoi*.)
I believe if the United Scutes is to
grow as she ought in influence and
power, and provide adequate safe
guards from foreign aggression, ner
military and naval forces ought to be
strengthened.
1 favor legislation that will providt
for a larger standing army and* for an
adequate navy. A standing army
ou ght to be In the neighborhood of
250.000 men. We ought to provide for
a voluntary military ser\ ice that wll’
give, in addition to the foregoing
number, at least 250,000 reserves.
I believe in an additional military
academy to be lo< ated in the Middle
West at some point along the Missis
sippi River, or near it, aim 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 force?* 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 us
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 memberi 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
som". 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 present European
war marks a great possibility. It
ought not ^ass 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.
By HENRY L. MYERS,
(Senator from Montana.)
"If the United States is to grow’ as
she ought in influence and power, is
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 our standing
army, not to run into the millions or
the hundreos of thousands. but I
think It might well be increased per
haps as much as 50 per cent and
there might well be some provision
made for a reserve force. 1 think the
best way to make our navy adequate
would be to provide each year for the
construction of a reasonable number
of submarines.
“Do you feel that our first duty 1»
to maintain peace and our next duty
to prepare for war. and that by pre
paring for war we insure the mainte
nance of peace?”
To the first question involved, yes.
To the second question. I assent In a
measure and to a reasonable extent
PARIS, July 3.—The death of
Adele Hugo leave* the family of the
great writer represented oy two
grandchildren and four great-grand
children. Victor Hugo's elder daugh
ter, Leopoldine, 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 His son Charles Victor, who
died in 1871, left two Children, still
living, Georges Victor Hugo and
Jeanne Hugo. Georges Victor mar
ried Pauline Menard-Orlan. who di
vorced bin urn is rmw thi wifi of
Herman Paul, the well-known artist
and cartoonist.. Georges Victor ther
married Mme. AJalbert, a cousin of
his first wife, who had been divorced
by her husband, Jean AJalbert, the
curator of ?4almalson 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, and had one soff. 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 Negroponte, who
died some months ago.
Victor Hugo bequeathed all his
copyrights to Adele, In trust, with
reversion to hls grandchildren,
Georges Victor and Jeanne. Owing to
hls long life and to copyright exist
ing until 50 years after an author’s
death, these rights represent a large
sum In 1884 they produced ov«r
1200,000, and although they have fall
en off In recent years, they have
never yielded less than $10,000 a year.
Bacon and Eggs Add
To Conscience Fund
WASHINGTON, July 3.-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
transactl m, 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 hls term
of enlistment ate more than the law
allowed and that he now compensate3
the Government for hls meal.
The “conscience fund,” which In
reality his a separate existence only
on paper, has been growing slowly
since President Madison's adminis
tration, when a contribution of $5 was
received. These contributions now
total nearly $500,000.
Twin Boys Arrive
While Train Is Held
DRAVOKBURG, PA. July 3.—
Twins were bnrr. to Mrs. Harriet Sto-
viillin on a Pennsylvania Railroad
train Just as the engine pulled into
the local depot. The train was in
charge of Conductor Motfit, who ap
parently has had previous experience
in such situation. No sooner had his
train come to a stop than he dashed
to a telephone, and within twenty
minutes 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
hls train at the depot. When Mrs.
Stovallin and her babies were taken
into the ambulance and started for
the hospital, Conductor Moffit wished
them godspeed.
ENDS1811-MILE
Tj
Left Kansas City February 2 and,
Alone, Walked to Los Angeles
in 122 Days.
LOB ANGELES. July 3.—A frail
little woman in khaki brown, a big
felt hat and canvas leggings, entered
Los Angeles on foot through South
Pasadena. She wore a bright, brave
littie smile, but seemed rather tired
withal—as well she might be, for she
was Just completing her 1,811-miie
stroll.
Her name is Edith Channel. She is
somewhat beneath the average in ro
bustness of build, and she had never
before walked more than six miles at
a time. Nevertheless, by way of
proving that it's the will that counts,
she has walked alone from Kansas
City.
She left Kansas City on February 2,
making the 1,811 miles with numerous
detours to the Grand Canyon an!
other places in 122 days That Is,
counting the side trips, she covered
about sixteen miles a day, and this in
spite of the fact that last February
she was considered a hopeless invalid.
Through Kansas and Colorado she
was buffeted by heavy winds and
snow. She followed the auto road
from Osage to Great Bend, then took
the Santa Fe to Isleta, after whiefi
she struck the auto road again as far
as Williajns. From Williams to Mo
jave the weather grew warmer, until
she experienced the other extreme of
discomfort and often suffered keenly
from thirst. Relief came at last with
the cool breezes that fan the plains
about Los Angeles.
Funeral Announced,
But ‘Dead’ Man Lives
RICKVILLE, MIX, July 3.—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
neral service an experience meeting
was held, during which Myerly Jack-
son, one of the beat known colored
residents of that section of the coun
ty, wnile addressing tne gathering,
fell dead.
‘Jags' Are Marked
Down From $21 to $1
HUNTINGTON, W. VA., July 3.—
Owing to the industrial depression
the price of a "plain drunk” in Hunt
ington has been reduced from $21 to
$1. The City Commissioner has had
amended the city ordinance passed
last July, when the prohibition law
went into effect, providing for a min
imum fine of $21 for drunkenness, and
under the new ordinance a fine may
be as low as $1.
A Jail sentence up to 30 days may
also be Imposed. The Commissioner
de Mded that the $21 minimum fine is
a hardship on the poor man com
pelled to serve out his fine while hls
family is deprived of his support.
Misfortune Turned
To Useful Purpose
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 flaws In diamonds. Then came
the cataract. Oculists said he would
lose the sight of the eye.
One day he mislaid hls miscroscope,
and. placing hls partly closed hand
as a magnifying glass neck, he found
he could judge gems better than with
his microscope The cataract acts as
a magnifying lens, oculists say.

Divorcee Asks Court
For Permit to Wed
DES MOINES. July 3.—Unless Anna
Cooper gets married she will have to go
to work. Khe prefers to get married.
Unfortunately, however, she secured a
divorce several weeks ago, and without
the permission of the court she can not
marry wdthin a year.
To overcome the difficulty she has
just filed in the District Court a peti
tion asking that her divorce decree be
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
her by the decree and that a situation
has now arisen in which she will have
to go out to work and that she has an
opportunity to get a good home for her
self and her children by marrying, she
asks the court to give its consent.
Following is a synopsis of the
chapter* of Jess Willard’s autobiog
raphy, which appeared in The Geor
gian last week:
As 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
Johnson came in. Johnson was then
training for his fight 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-
liard 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
naturedly.
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.
Hi* First “Clever" Fight.
On his way to Chicago, Willard
had engaged Charlie Cutler as his
manager. It wasn’t long before lie
got Jess a ma^ch with a fighter named
John Young. This was pulled off .n
Fort Wayne, Ind., and Willard won in
the sixth round. This was the first
fight in which he made any effort to
be "clever.”
His next fight was in St. (^harlos,
Ill., with a big fellow named Frana
Bauer. He also laid him away n
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 rounds after w-hich 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
very fight and introduced him a* “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, w’ho was looked on as a
comer. It was supposed that Willard
would be a chopping block for him.
Pelkey thought so, too, and tried 10
knock him out right away, but he
could not do it. The fight wen-t the
full ten rounds and in the last round
Pelkey was enable to land a single
blow’. Owing to the law in New York
ther© could be no decision by the
referee, but the newspapers agreed
that Willard won by a mile.
Even this, however, did not make
the sporting public take Jess seri
ously. They said he was too good-
natured to be a tighter, because ne
didn’t bite, kick or try to kill hls 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
fore he got the world’s championship.
Jack Johnson fought sixty fights be
fore he bested Tommy Burns.
John Morrissey then comes in for a
highly complimentary description of
his work as a fighter and his later
life as a member of Congress and a
politician in New York. Wiliard at
tributes, hls clean politics to the fact
that the prize ring taught him to be
square.
Barred From State.
Just when things were going
smoothly for Willard the New Yo^k
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 club 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-
Massachusetts’ Bachelor Execu
tive, Examined by Scientists,
Told What Mate Should Be.
BOSTON, MASS., July 3.—Incom-
patibllity in marriage is soon to be a
thing of the past, according to Dr.
Max Baff, the Worcester scientist and
former fellow in psychology at Clark
University, w’ho announces that he
has discovered how to measure tem
perament.
With nothing more than a tape
measure, he says, it is possible to find
one’s affinity and be positively sure
that one is marrying the right man or
woman.
Dr. Baff has had under observation
Massachusetts’ best known bachelor,
Governor David I. Walsh. He an
nounced the kind of a wdfe the Gov
ernor should find In order to be as
spec
entitle observance:
She must be from 5 feet 3 inches to
5 feet 6 inches tall.
She must weigh from 141 to 146
pounds.
She must* be cheerful at all times,
especially before breakfast.
She must be sympathetic.
She must be ambitious.
She must be able to sing. .
It is essential that she have a mez
zo-soprano voice.
lng for money as well as for experi
ence, and when D^vis, after he had
been matched with Willard went oft 8 perfect happiness. Here are
nched^vf-n^aT^rrrd^aT^hirwoSid ^ speciflcat.ons-the result of set-
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
hls corner. The Soldier has had a
“glass jaw” ever since. It wswi 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
been for the good advice of
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,
w'here he had foueht 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 St.
Louis on a cooked-up fight.
He also declared that the Sharkey-
Fitzsimmons fight in San Francisco
was a fake. Wyatt Earp, a Western
“bad man” and gun fighter jvas 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 not to hit
Sharkey below the neck for fear of
the blow being called a foul. In the
eighth round Fitzslmmon knocked
Sharkey down with a right on the
Jaw. but the Sailor put hls hand on
his groin and let out a groan, where
upon Earp declared a “foul” and
1 awarded the fight to Sharkey. The
next time these two men met, Fitz
simmons knocked the Sailor out in
two rounds.

autobiography will appea r in The

This Man Anxious
To Serve His Term
LOS ANGELES, July 3.—Although
an eleventh-hour stay of execution
has been granted Philip Kilfoil, con
victed mistreater of Lillian Palmer,
14, he declared that he would Insist
upoq going to San Quentin in the Im
mediate future to begin serving his
twenty-year sentence.
This does not mean that he has
given up v the fight. He figures his
lawyer.-* can carry on his campaign
for a new trial .lust as well while he
is in the penitentiary and if his ap
peal is ultimately denied he will have
already served some of the time and
be so much nearer liberty.
Young Cobblers Fix
Shoes of Schoolmates
MINNEAPOLIS, July 3.—Six boys,
representing four nationalities, com
prise the Cobblers' Club at Pierce
School. They have a shop in the base
ment and repair shoes for all the pupils
at a small cost. All the equipment of
lasts, hammers, awls, nails and other
necessaries they bought themselves.
The. idea originated with Miss Mary
L. Martin, the principal. She noticed
that many of the children catne to
school in shoes that needed half-soling,
and she asked how many children could
repair their own shoes. Six pupils as
tonished her by saying that they had
been taught by their fathers. None of
the boys was over 11 years.

Labels Money Poison,
But Burglars Take It
CLEVELAND, July 3.—When Wil
liam Schroeber wrapped up $500 in
currency in a package and placed a
poison label on it he felt satisfied that
burglars would certainly pass it up
should they pick him as a victim.
When he awoke the package of so-
called poison was missing, and aDo
his pocketbook containing $400 worth
of checks Entrance had been gained
during the night by forcing a side
window.
sporting public was hailing
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 eolng 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 g »t
$180. He put White out in one
round.
He had another fight in Buffalo,
which is not a matter of record, when
he thrashed a teamster who tried to
knock his head off with the loaded
end of a whip.
Willard disposes of the belief In
some quarters that he is just a big
husky 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’*.
He points out that Corbett had the
same stories told about him. A lot
of people thought that Jim 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 dnd
fought as nard as he knew hnww'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 hls boilermaker’s
hammer one day and fought Bob
Fitzsimmons the next, but he, too,
served his apprenticeship. Fitzsim
mons fought eleven years before be
won the middleweight championship,
and It took him six years more be-
started to grow the mustache several
and waxed. Thomas said the horse
started to grow the moustache several
years ago. and It Interested him so
much he trimmed It regularly.

kept clean; it will not mar and washing with soap and water has no harmful effect.
