MATES, THIS IS “NAVY DAY”
“fTTINDER the terms of the Washington conference,” says
|U | President Coolidge, “the leading sea-powers have united
in the agreement that the United States is entitled to maintain
a Navy equal to that of any other power. Thus we are assured
of a naval rank second to none.”
We are sorry the President said that. The public, naturally
enough, had long since fallen into*the same error. We had e
pected him rather to set the country right on this highly impor
tant topic.
Most decidedly we are NOT “assured of a naval rank sec
ond to none” by the Washington conference. It merely “EN
TITLED” us to such rank and we will be “ASSURED” of it
only if Congress wakes up and does the necessary.
The sad, sad truth is, our Navy, far from being “second to
none,” ranks way below that of Great Britain and hardly above
that of Japan.
‘Sea power,” says Admiral Robert E. Coontz, eoramander
in-chief of our fleet, “is the basis of our real strength—not our
fighting ships. By sea power we mean a combination of all means
by which we can jrain and keep control of the sea.
“The first great element of sea power is the fighting ship, the
second element is the merchant ship and the third element is the
base.”
And Great Britain lays this country in the shade in .all
three. Particularly with regard to naval bases. The Navy's
job is not to stick around our coast trying to prevent the enemy
from taking a shot at it, but to keep the enemy so far away that
our shores will never, at any time, be in danger.
But they can’t do that without outlying bases, fin the way
to the Far East, Britain, for example, has Gibraltar, Malta. Suez,
Aden, Colombo, Singapore and finally, off China itself, Hong
kong. Even in American waters she has Halifax, Bermuda,
Bahama, Jamaica and Trinidad.
Thus her navy—which can out shoot ours because her guns
can lift their nozzles higher, and outsteam ours because many
of our ships, for lack of funds for necessary repairs, don’t dare
operate under full power—has splendid bases strategically lo
cated so that its maximum strength can be brought to bear in
any quarter of the globe.
Our only bases worthy of the name are on our east coast,
farthest removed from the spots where* most likely they will he
needed. Panama, an absolutely vital outpost, could easily be
taken from either east or west, as was demonstrated during tin*
last naval maneuvers. Protecting its eastern approach, not a
base! True, we acquired Guantanamo, in Cuba, and the Virgin
Islands for use as bases, but we’ve never done anything to make
them really useful as such.
On the west coast —off which expert opinion the world over
agrees the next great conflict will, in all probability, be staged
not a single base equipped as it should be. And, within 3,500
miles of Panama, none that could berth a capital ship for major
repairs.
Not even at Pearl Harbor, in Hawaii, our one best bet in
that part of the world. Deeper water, heavy-duty cranes and
all sorts of things are needed there.
It’s a long, sad story, mates. But this is “Navy day” and
here is something we all ought to think about. If you want to
do something for your country, resolve this day to get a sharp
stick behind Congress and make it make the Navy what it is
“entitled” to be.
Contrary to a widespread impression, if our sea power is
to be “second to none,” we still have a long, long way to go.
“IF YOU PIN ME DOWN TO FACTS . . .”
“r ' "lF you pin me down to facts. I have no information to give
I I | you,” Chairman T. V. O'Connor of the United States
shipping board informed the Borah committee when lie was
asked about alleged soviet contributions to the La Follette-
Wheeler campaign.
“I can't think of any just now,” O'Connor said when asked
for the name of “any living soul who knows anything about
any soviet money being sent to the United States at any time
or place.”
“But if you will let me tell you what I think, I can give
you some startling stories,” O'Connor added.
The committee wanted facts, not stories, so O’Connor didn’t
get very far.
But for people who won't hold him down to facts, O’Connor
has much that he will gladly tell.

JAPAN IS
CLOSING IN
ON CHINESE
Proposed President Owned
Body and Soul by
Tokio.
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Foreign Kditor Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON. Oct. 27.—Japan
! is closing in on Pekin.
Whatever else the latest coup in
stricken China may mean, that
! much is clear.
The treachery of the famed “Chris-
I tian” general, Feng Yu lush ng. can
| conceivably have no other result,
; particularly It stoppage ot the war
: leaves the bandit king of Manchuria,
Marshal Chang *!'.so-lin, the undis
puted boss of Peking.
Not that Tsao Kun, the ourted
President, was much, if any. better.
He probably was not. He bribed his
way to office and was known as not
too proud to spend Japanese money.
I’.ut Marshal Chang openly admits
it is his aim to make former Pre
mier Tuan Chi-jui president of
China. And Tuan, former head of
i the Northern, or Chinese, Military
party and leader of the infamous
: "Anfu Club." owned body and soul
1 1 y Japan, would not anil could not
lie anything but the willing tool of
Tokio.
Sincerity Doubted
i As to the traitor ‘‘Christian, '
i General Feng, his role has been
j despicable, whatever his motives.
These, in a United Press interview,
he said were to stop the war and
en 1 bloodshed in China. Laudable,
! yes. But the way he chose to do t
leads to doubts of his sincerity.
Before the war started in Norlh
China 1 pointed out the danger that
lurked in Fi-ng. With 30,000 troop*
in his command and in charge >t
the capital's defenses, he was un
mistakably the key to the whole
situation.
"But General Feng." I said in
August, "is dissatisfied with his
job. He aspires to a tuchuante, or
military governorship, in Mong >-
11a. Mongolia is a part of Marshal
Chang's territory, and until General
Feng takes his banner to the camp
iof Chang, his ambition must re
man in unanswered dream."
“This, it appears, he has just done
—gone over to Chang. Betraying
his chief. Marshal Wu Pei fu, who
had ordered the Third Army com
manded by Feng, to Jell'd, in Mon
golia, he doubled on his tracks,
j marched his men back, occupied
' Pekin and put the president to
flight.
Masters Are Rotten
The "Christian” general cannot
plead the rottenness of his masters
as an excuse for his treason. Rotten
'they were, noMnubt. but if he joins
up with the Japanese-owned Anfu
clique and the bandit war-lord of
Manchuria, he will serve even worse.
No matter who loses in China,
however, Japan wins. The famous
"Black Dragon” society, which for
years has received the unofficial en
couragement of some of the highest
officials at Tokio, including Viscount
Ivato, present premier—long ago out
lined a Chinese policy for Japan.
"Black Dragonites” advise Nippon
to make China a protectorate in
practice if not openly. To do this
the society urges that Japan foment
; trouble in the country until such a
time as Japan would "select a man"
and "help him organize" a govern
ment” to rule the land.
Says a secret report: "If the Im

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
LA FOLLETTE
LOYAL IN
WORLD WAR
Charges Against Him Based
on Misstatement
of Facts.
By N. D. COCHRAN
EPL T BLICANS have tried to
injure Senator La Follette in
l___J this campaign by reviving
the charge of disloyalty during the
war.
There was no disloyalty. The
charges made against him during
the war, and revived now, were
based on a lie.
We entered the war in April 1917.
Senator La Follette voted against
the declaration of war. Once in it
however, he supported every war
measure Intended to carry on the
vigorous prosecution of the war.
He did vote against conscription
and the espionage act. He voted
against the War Revenue Act be
cause it failed to tax wealth and
war profits in proportion to the
owners’ ability to pay.
But that isn’t what he was
criticised for then.
The charge of disloyalty was based
on a speech La Follette made in St.
Paul on Sept. 20, 1917, over five
months after we entered the war.
La Follette Misquoted
In that speech Senator La Follette
said:
“For my own part, I was not in
favor of beginning the war. 1 don't
mean to say that we hadn’t suffered
grievances; we had —at the hands
of Germany. Serious grievances.”
But the report sent out to news
papers by the Associated Press from
St. Paul, and printed all d\er the
country, quoted Senator La, Follette
as follows:
“I wasn't in favor of beginning
tTie war. We had NO grievances."
Based on that misquotation by the
Associated Press, La Follette was
denonuced by newspapers generally.
On Sept. 29, 1917, Senator Kellogg
of Minnesota introduced a resolution
urging proceedings looking to the
expulsion of sedition, giving aid and
comfort to our enemies and hinder
ing the Government In the conduct
of the war.”
The record shows that the investi
gation was strung along by the com
mittee for fourteen months.
It was eight months before the
Associated Press feebly did tardy jus
tice by writing to the committee,
saying:
"The quoted matter was not read
as carefully as it should have been.
For otherwise the conflicting word
‘no’ would have been seen. The St.
Paul Pinoer Press, from which our
story was taken, quoted Senator
La Follette as saying: 'We had
grievances.’ We can not account for
the disparity in any other way than
stated. The error is regrettable and
the Associated Press seizes the first
opportunity to do justice to Senator
La Follette."
On Dec. 2, 1918, nearly fifteen
months after the speech was de
livered, the Senate exonerated La
Follette and dismissed the charges.
In the meantime, the armistice
was signed and the war was over.
Next, the Senate, without a dis
senting vote, passed a resolution
allowing Senator La Follette sr>,oMo
for expenses in defending himself In
ihe Senate against the false charges.
Supported Troops
La Follette’s real attitude toward
the war after we had got into it, was
expressed on the floor of the Senate
Oct. fi. 1917, when he said:
"There is, and of course can be,
no real difference of opinion con
cerning Hie duty of the citizen to
discharge to the last limit whatever
obligation the war leys upon him.
"Our young men are being taken
by the hundreds of thousands for
the purpose of waging this war on
| the continent of Europe, possibly
Asia or Africa, or anywhere else
that they may be ordered. Nothing
must be left undone for their pro
tection. They must have the best
arms, ammunition and equipment
that money can buy. They must
have the best training and the best
officers which this great country
can produce. The dependents and
relatives they leave at home must
ho provided for, not meagerly, but
generously so far as money can pro
vide for them.
"I have done some of the haMest
work of my life during the bust few
weeks on the revenue bill to raise
j the largest possible amount of
money from surplus incomes and
war profits for this war and upon
the measures to provide for the pro
tection of the soldiers and their
families. That I was not able to ac
complish more along this line is a
great disappointment to me. I did
all that I could, and I shall continue
to fight with all the power at my
command until wealth is made to
bear more of the burden of this war
than has been laid on it by the pres
ent Congress.”
That last statement gives the real
ro.'uson for the attempt to discredit
and ruin Senator La Follette during
the war. Jle wanted those who prof
ited by the war to pay for it. They
regard that kind of a Senator as
dangerous. They are now raising
money to defeat him for President.
They don’t want that kind of Presi
dent. They prefer one w r ho favors
taxation measures like the Mellon
plan.
Nature
Canaries belong- to the finch fam
ily, and are near relatives of our
goldfinch. Canaries were first
brought s o Europe about three hun
dred years ago. The business of
canary breeding was first carried on
in Germany; later England took it
up. The original canary has been
crossed with several allied species of
European birds, and so we now have
about fifty well-marked varieties on
our market.
Dr. Cuthbert Caristy, returning
from a visit to the only tribe of pig
mies on earth, in central Africa,
says they are not black like the ne
groes. but a very dark reddish. Their
favorite food is monkey flesh, which
they eat raw or only slightly singed.
Their houses are beehive-like huts.
Pigmies are wonderful shots with
the bow and arrow, and strong. He
saw one isawed-off fellow drive an
arrow cldar through a leopard.
Right Here In
INDIANA
-By Gaylord Nelson
G' REENCASTLE gave a birth
day party Friday in observ-
ance of the one hundreth an
nivesary of its founding. Thou
sands participated in the celebration
featured by a parade and pageant
depicting scenes and incidents of the
pioneer days.
It was an ambitious undertaking
successfully carried out.
This month Elkhart observed its
) centennial in a similar mariner, as
also did the little town of West
Newton, in Marion County.
Indiana towns are no longer cal
low youngsters. Time is curing that
fault.
While ripe age may be a source
of pride to any place or person, its
value is sentimental rather than
actual.
Not long ago a New York woman
celebrated her one hundred and four
teenth birthday. Her younger
brother, 100 years old, joined in the
i festivities. The unusual birthday
party received a couple of inches of
space on an inside page of Ihe
newspapers.
Yet that party was her sole bid
for fame. The next day she re
turned to obscurity.
Alexander the Great died at 33 —
a world conqueror. His name will
bulk large on many pages as long
ias history is written. His deeds in
fluenced the course of civilization,
| though his years formed only a
quickly vanishing bubble on the
I stream of time.
I It’s deeds, not years, that count.
And. in Indiana communities, the
character and deeds of the people—
not city age—make our centennials
memorable.
Parents
j UDGE FRANK J. LAHR, of
the juvenile court, had be
v fore him the parents of four
I delinquent boys. In the course of
j his lecture lo them lie observed:
“It is surprising how much par
(cuts ran teach a child. You parents
: are to blame if you have burglars
in vnur home instead of normal
t kildren.”
It is natural for children to learn
from their parents. That's one rea-
I son the human species maintains
precarious leadership of the animal
kingdom.
Racial progress is brought about
jby one generation teaching its wls
jdom to Hie succeeding. A turtle de
posits eggs in the .-and, and forgets
(them. It's progeny swims on the
soup label. No progress.
So turtles will never own automo
biles or make radio sets.
| The human parent as the trans
mitter "f knowledge has heavy re
isponsibility and little applause.
For if the offspring , attains marked
! success he is termed self-made. But
: i? he decorates a scaffold or becomes
la penitentiary number then the par
ents are blamed.
| Neither is entirely correct.
J Because the child is also the prod
uct of environment. Which, with
j crow ding population, becomes less
I the home and more the streets,
playgrounds, school, and movies.
These modern tendencies make the
| role of parent difficult. But still
j successfully played. For few chil
jdren taught, carefully by their pur
jents turn out to he paste gems in
s'* id of real jewels.
Clean-Up
T‘ jo DAY the city begins its an
nual clean up campaign.
; John F. Walker, superintend
ent of street cleaning, beseeches peo
j plo to pile their leaves and trash
(along the curbs. His hardy hands
j will cart it away.
I After Nov. 10 he won't cheer over
I the raking of leave*, into tie' gutter.
| ft will then be an affront and infrac
! tion of a city ordinance. Punishable.
. as usual, by death.
An annual intensive clean-up is a
j good municipal habit.
| For, in a twelve-month, dead
I leaves, dead tin cans and decrepit
j but still crawling rubbish accumu
late on every one’s premises. AYlth
! out a periodical clean-up the prop
!erty owner would never see face to
! face the security on which lie ne-
I gotiated bis mortgage.
Leaves and trash of yesteryear
would soon bury a city full of grow
ing things, like Indianapolis.
Other cities have failed to hold
regular clean-up campaigns. And
j now archaeologists are digging for
i them.
Babylon and Ur have been tin
i earthed, others haven’t been found.
And those that have been uncov
ered are not much to brag about
for looks or residential purposes.
With cooperation from the citi
zens the street cleaning department
with its clean-up campaign can dig
Indianapolis out of the leaves and
trash. AVhieh beats waiting for an
archaeologist.
Halloween
L 1 "— ~J ATE Friday night a 17-year
old girl motored at thirty five
miles an hour on the sidewalk
around the Monument.
She thought it a keen Halloween
prank to drive there, was the expla
nation she gave the motorcycle po
licemean who finally flagged her.
Probably it was a trenchant jest.
Many of the Halloween antics are.
For this festival, which began life
as an evening of innocent fun and
merriment, has become to many
just an excuse for defacing, damag
ing or destroying property.
Judged thus the girl’s escapade
wars not so mirth-provoking.
For the Monument was not de
faced. The girl is outwardly un
damaged. And no unwary pedes
trian was taken apart or his en
trails festooned from the frame
work of the Columbia Club's new
home.
Still it was an excellent caper.
Quite in the modern Halloween man
ner. Even though no pedestrian
happened along to become the butt
of the joke—and the center of inter
est at a funeral.
For the modern goblin who walks
on All Souls eve has mostly a slap
stick sense of humor. He neither
endears nor amuses.
And her escapade had the same
mirthful possibilities of many others
that make the nig-ht of Oct. 31 a
trial to people who don’t nail down
their personal possessions.

AYh it is the difference between
"dinner" and "supper?"
The tertn "supper” designates a
lighter and less hearty meal than
does Hie term ’’dinner." It was
(formerly the custom, especially In
i smaller towns to serve the heaviest
jand heartiest meal, "dinner” in the
I middle of the day. with a less hearty
meal in the evening known ’as
(‘ supper." However, with the.in
iTi a.-e of husienss and the difficulty
I in getting the family together in the
; middle of the day. it became
ncm essary to serve the heartiest meal
j in tfic evening, and to "lunch” in the
' middle of the day. Nowadays
I "supper" usually means refreshment
i taki-n after the- theater or dance at
| night.
Which has the most force to it a

The question can only be

j there might be a difference in the
! amount of force that could
;be exerted by pushing and pulling
; respectively by the same individual
j or the same animal, or by a piece of
machinery'; this would depend tipon
the individual capacity of the man
or animal, or the construction of
the machine, and the method adopted
in the pushing or pulling process.

the tilings that are right? Are you
willing to back when you’re wrong?
The right sort of fellow will never
show yellow or quit as he travels
along.
Try and hold your head high as
the world travels by, and you’ll find
that it really will pay. The things
that you do, and the thought isn't
new, count for more than the things
that you say.
Keep a stiff upper lip and put
punch in your grip when you're
shaking the hand of a friend. Make
a handshake a lunge, not the
squeeze of a sponge, and you'll come
out on top in the end.

Science
James P. Chapin, associate cura
tor of birds of the American Mu
seum, is authority for the story of
a bird living in the wilds of Central
Africa that guides men to the hives
of wild bees. The bird, called an
Indicator, lives on honey but has
to depend mostly upon man to open
the bees’ nest. The natives protect
the Indicator birds and punish any
rffe who harms them. The bird
seems to spend its time locating
honey and then trying to find a
man to open the hive. It flits around
a man until he follows and the bird
then flies straight to a hive.
The only other way of opening
the hive, for the benefit of the bird,
that has been discovered, is for the
bird seemingly to induce a badger
to follow and do the work.
While these instances are among
the most curious facts in natural
history they are not as rare as might
be supposed. There are various alli
ances for protection and help among
birds and beasts.
