GUARD PACIFIC
FROM SLY FOE,
WARNING TO U.?
Naval Architects He.
How Islands Could
Be Grabbed.
FORTIFIED BASE
NEEDED IN GUA/
Need of Fleets, Guns and Mini
to Protect Stations Urged
to Arouse Nation.
Speaking of preparedness, it's tin
for Uncle Sun t<> turn around and tal
a look at the Pacific. Too long has tl
tutelary warder of American hbertii
been peering out across the Atlanti
while just behind bis back his islari
possessions lie unprotected in the Pi
?rifle, ready to bo seized by some entei
prising enemy.
This note of warning, sounded b
Captain A. P. Niblack. U. S. N., at th
twenty-third meeting of the Society 8
Naval Architects and Marine Engineer
at the Kngirieeriiij- Societies' Buildinj
2i> West Thirty-ninth Street, yesterda
met with instant approval from th
nien.beis.
"We can ??iggle and squirm an
make a wry face over paying the bill
but we can never evade ultimately th
cost of adequntely fortifying a nava
base in the island of Guam," Captan
N i black said, "and in a lesser degrei
in the island of Tutulla, in the Archl
pelago of Alaska, and on Mid?vay Isl
and, just as we have already begun th?
good work in the Hawaiian Islands and
at Balboa, at the Pacific end of th?
Panama Canal.
Caataln Niblack stressed the impor?
tance of these Pacific island* as coal?
ing statior.s for the fleet that musl
protect American commerce with the
Daieat and the fishing industries and
rich coal fields in Ala-ka, "the store?
house of the futur.?" "Fuel means the
abilit> to deliver the blo?v without de?
in?." be -aid. "Delay mrnns the loss
of laitiative. Operations can only be
ba.cd on available means, und, in mod?
ern tear, JfOB cannot plan anil then as?
semble ?t'.res to as?sente the plan. As
?sources of supply the??? islands are
ilaable to the enemy as to us, un?
ies- ???? lortify them adequately and
i .| them with submarines, torpedo
boat.? ai.d mine device.?."
"Looking BCXSM the Atlantic, we have
always accepted u defensive role," Cap?
tain N'ibluck said, "and talked. BBS*,
thoaght, and built to repel an enemy if
he should cosas. This habit of thought,
of wait int.? for something, of holding
back, of azpsstiag things to come to
us, has aimost deal roved our initiative,
has kept back our foreign trade and
almost driven our flag from the ocean.
We have reasoned that our fleet would
? ? us time to bring up our supposed
reserves and enable us to raise an
army of volunteers. Facing this com?
fortable solution, we have turned our
back upon the Pacific.
"But the Pacific permits to us no
dafeaeive policy such as we have soft
tened ourselvea to In the Atlantic. Our
coast line extends to Guam, even if we
should scuttle in the Philippines."
"The cost for one day of the war
now going on in the world would sr
cur.. the Pacific Coast from invasion
' for all time. Every one knowg this.
but, like the Jews of old, we consid?-r
ourselves the chosen people, and the
voices of those who could pilot the job
as those crying in the wilderness of
local politics. If it is true that the
people really rule this country?and
?they are constantly told they do?and
? yet shrink from facing the issues which
; involve any sacrifice of their time,
?pleasure or comfort, then the standard
! of citizenship is perillously low and
1 government by the people is seriousl)
on trial."
In a paper on "The .Submarine of To?
day and To-morrow," L. Y. Spear pre?
dicted the doom of the small harbor
defence type, and said that the coast
defence and the cruising fleet subma?
rines will be developed in the future.
Submarine engineers may be forced to
employ in the immediate future, he
said, a steam plant to meet the demand
for a surface ?peed of 26 knots or
more.

Forty-five Miles Covered in 39
Minutes at Elevation of
.3,000 Feet.
Wichita Falls, Tex.. Nov. 19, All six
of the machines of the United States
Military Aeroplane Squadron from
Fort Sill reached here safely to-day,
making the flight in less than an hour.
The flight ?vas made under nlmost
perfect weather conditions. The pilots
experienced no trouble with their ma?
chines, and two minutes covered the
difference between the slowest and
fastest time. Lieutenant .1. E. Carberry,
the first flier to land, took thirty-nine
minutes to cover the forty-five miles.
The machines took an elevation of 3,000
feet.
The aviators will continue their flight
? to-morrow, when they will set out for
, Fort Worth, 114 miles away. From
; there they will fly to the government
j headquarters at Fort Sam Houston,
where the flight will end on Wednes?

CLARK OFFERS WILSON AID
Discusses National Defence with the
President.
Washington, Nov. 19.?Champ Clark,
Speaker of the House, told President
Wilson to-day that he favored a na?
tional defence programme within rea?
sonable limits. He had not committed
himself to tho details of the adminis?
tration's proposed army and navy in?
creases because he had not thoroughly
considered them, but he believed the
coming Congress would work out sat?
isfactory legislation.
"I only talked to the President for a
few minutes," .said the Speaker. "I
frankly said that I ?vould be in favor
of legislation which would assure rea?
sonable defence lor the country against
any possible enemy. 1 did not go into
details. For one thing, I think that
[there might be difficulty in ?vorking

MOOSE ON FENCE,
M'CORMICK SAYS
Progressives' Future De?
pends on RepublicanCon
vention, He Asserts.
MAY SHED ANTLERS
FOR EARS AND TRUNK
After Seeing Roosevelt Talks of
Hughes as Acceptable Candi?
date and Opposition to Root.
Whether Th?odor? Roosevelt and the
remaining loyalist? in th? Progressive
Party ere to fight under the Republi
oan banner In the national campaign of
lt>16 will depend entirely upon the ac?
tion of the Republican National Con?
vention. If the Republican? do what
the Progressive? want them to do in
regard to platform and th? choice of a
candidate, the Bull Moo?? ail] draw in
hi? antlers and grow the iarge ears
and long trunk of the emblem of the
G. 0. P.
That was the opinion of Medill
McCorrr.ick, of Chicago, former vice
chairmen of the Progressive National
Committee, upon his return yesterday
from Oyster Bay, where he had a two
hour talk with Colonel Roosevelt. Mr.
McCorrnick defined his present position
when he said that he "expected to con?
tinue to work with the Republicans."
He said he had not gone as a "mis?
sionary" to the Colonel, or an emissary
for any one, and while they talked
politics his visit had been social and
of no political significance. He would
; not say what Colonel Roosevelt
?thought of the political situation.
Mr. McCorrnick was seen at the
Plasa. He went to Washington last
night. He has travelled over the Mid?
dle and Far West during the last few
weeks, sounding political sentiment. It
was his decided opinion that the Pro?
gressives would never support ex
Senator Elihu Root as a Preiidential
candidate.
Sentiment for Justice Hughes.
He intimated that Justice Hughes, of
the Supreme Court, might be satis?
factory to the Progressives.
"There is more general sentiment
for Hughes than for any other Re?
publican mentioned," said Mr. McCor?
rnick, "just as there is more opposition
to Mr. Root than toward any other
Republican mentioned for the nomina?
tion."
i Mr. McCorrnick thought there was no
; way of determining at present whether
the Republican party was progressive
, enough to attract all the Bull Moose
back to its enrolment, except in some
IBW states, like Massachusetts, where
Governor McCall, the successful Re?
publican candidate, had been supported
by the most prominent Progressive
; leaders. That question would be de?
termined to the satisfaction or dis?
satisfaction of the Progreisives at the
, Republican National Convention, he
said.
"From what I have heard I would
1 say." said Mr. McCorrnick. "that there
' will not bo a great difference in the
number of delegates to the Republican
National Convention, as between candi?
dates who are standpatters and those
progressively inclined. There will be a
great many instructed delegates, and as
no one candidate will have a majority
these delegates will determine the plat?
form and the choice of a candidate."
In regard to the general situation
Mr. McCorrnick said:
"President Wilson is strong through?
out the country, though not popular;
stronger than most opposing politicians
in published statements have been will?
ing to admit.
Opposition to Klihu Root.
"Elihu Root is tne least available of
the conspicuous candidates for the Re?
publican nomination, and not merely
because the proposed Ne?v York consti?
tution was beaten by a eataatrophic
vote. The Bull Moo.-e regard him as
the engineer of the steam roller, of
which Barries and Penrose were just
stokers. It was under his guidance
that, in 191.2, the Republican machine
defeated the Republican ?oters.
NURSES' FOOD STRIKE
AT ST. LUKE'S ENDS
?
Twenty-two Who Dined Outside
Return to Hospital Fare.
The strike of twenty-two nurses
against the food served in St. Luke's
Hospital, which began Thursday noon,
when they preferred to eat in Amster
i dam Avenue delicatessens, came to an
end yesterday, according to Superin?
tendent Qearge F. Glover. Hi d? clared
lost night that all the protesting un?
dergraduates hadi-eturned to the Insti?
tution's board, and that th" reporta of
the incident had been greatly exagger?
ated. None was disciplined.
Nurses, he said, were permitted to
eat out'ide the hospital if they de?
sired, and those who choie the stores
simply took BiJtraBtage of one of their
privilet-e?. The fare, he added, served
the undergraduates was identical with
that placed before the irraduateg and
the physicians.
The first reports were to the effect.
that ail the 1?0 undergraduute nurre?
had gone on a food strike, cr.ticiiir.g
the meat given them as tainted.
"The whole trouble is," said Mr.
Clover, "that they must have got tired
of the same substantial food day after
day. Thut is the only way I can Rgare
it out. These girls are not forced lo
eat here. And to-night they ail had
dinner inside the hospital."
An attempt to cet the nurses' ?id*
of the story met with fuilure, for when
several ?vere questioned as they left
the institution all they would say
?as: "We are not allowed to t*lk."

Arthur Pratt of the BtTaSfl then ashed
Hillstrom if he knew Basks, and Hill?

Sheriff was then directed to proceed
with the execution.

not mere than five friends of a con-1

HATE SLEW POET,
SAYS MISS FLYNN
Hillstrom, Called Martyr
to Mormon Injustice,
as Woman Weeps.
"I DIE LIKE REBEL,"
MESSAGE TO "GURLEY"
-
I. W. W. Leader Here Defends
Man Utah Shot, Declaring
Him Innocent.
"Joe Hillatrom wa? ?? innocent of
the murder of which he was accused a?
my little boy."
Red-eyed from much crying and on
the point of collapse, Klirabeth Gurley
Flynn almost savagely defended the
memory of the I. W. W. poet who was
executed by the Utah authorities yes?
terday. With the la?t mcaauge of BUI?
strom in her Kand?, ahe cried out
againat what she considered the black
lnju?tice of the Mormon?. From time
, to time, when her frenzied ?ta:ements
gave way to retrospective accounts of
the little thing? that Joe Hillstrom had
done to endear himself to h?r and other
I. W. W. leader?. Mis? Flynn wept.
The message in her hands read:
1 "Composed new song la?t week, with
mu?ic dedicated to the Jlove of Peace.
It is com'ng. And now goodby, (iurley,
denr. I have lived like a rebel and I
: shall die like a rebel."
The message was ?ent a few hours
befure he faced the door with the five
hole?.
"Joe didn't tell a lie," asserted Mi??
Flynn. "The woman whoso honor he
tried to guard with his own life is
known to me. Joe didn't care whether
he lived or died; in fact, he preferred
death, and for a reason that has not yet
been told. When he was arrested a bul?
let ?mashed the ligament? of his right
hand?the hand with which he played
j the violin. Life to him without his mu
j ?ie was not worth living."
Mi?? Flynn exhibited another tele
; gram. It wa? from Edward Rowan, local
j 1. W. W. leader in Salt Lake City. It
' read:
"Joe Hill ?hot at sunrise. Died
I game."
"Game??rame!" ?obbed Mis? Flynn.
"Why, there wasn't anybodv gamer
than Joe Hill poor Joe Hill! He's
dead, but his spirit will go marching
on. Joe realized that dying he would
be of greater service than living. His
last words were to organize, not to
mourn for him."
Last I'ltsa I? Too I.ate.
The third telegram that Mi?a Flynn
received was from Joe Hillstrom'? coun?
sel, ex-Judge 0. N. Hilton. It notified
her that a man named Busby, of Se?
attle, had wired him that he had been
with Hillstrom from 10 to 2 o'clock on
the night that the Morrison shooting
took place. Judge Hilton asked Miss
Flynn to reach the President instantly,
through Mrs. J. Sergeant Cram and
Secretary Tumulty, for a ten-day re?
spite. Hut it was too late, for the tele
'? gram reached New York a few minutes
; before 8 o'clock yesterday morning. The
I difference in time between New York
| an?l Utah did not permit of an oppor
! tunity to reach Mr. Wilson.
"We hoped that President Wilson's
efforts in behalf of Joe would do some
i good," said Mis? Flynn. "Hut Mr. Wil?
son told us at the time we ?aw him that
hi' felt inclined to believe the Utah
' authorities would not listen to him.
Joe Hillstrom had no relatives. Short
j If before he died he jokingly remarked
I that the line of Hillstrom would he

There will be one vacant chair dur?

Some one had given s tip to Judge

that some novel form of punishment

Whalen's criminal career has cost
New York Sfa'.? and County $20,000. He
has been convicted of blllglaij eleven

Germany Insists Cotton

Washington, Nov. 19.--The dy??tuff?
situation in the United Sutes haa
reached a critical stage. Th? G?rman
market Is closed to American import?
ers, so far as dyestuffs are concerned.
All efforts of the State Department to
raise the German embarco have failed,
the Department of Commerce said to?
day, the German government insisting
that for ?very cargo of dyestuffs
shipped to the United States the em?
pire must receive In return American
cotton of equal value. The British
government ha? granted permission for
the free "-assage of two cargoes of dye
stuffs of German origin to the United
States.
No dyestuffs of German origin have
reached thia country since March 16,
. and textile and other factories have
notified the Department of Commerce
| that they will be compelled partially- -
! and In some cases totally- to suspend
work.
Efforts by American manufacturers
to build up a dyestuffs industry have

Germans Ask What They
Are Fighting For
The persistent peace talk in the German papers and the equally persistent
official and semi-official denials that Germany has no desire to open negotiations for
peace, present a curious contradiction.
> in THE LITERARY DIGEST for November 20th this phase of the war k
covered in an interesting way. Direct translations from the German press for and
against peace are given, and the American reader is enabled to sense the feeling of
the German people as reflected in their newspapers. One editor who is not alto?
gether friendly to Germany has described her as being in the position of a "poker
player, who, after a run of luck, is anxious to get out of the game while the majority
of the chips on the table lie before him."
Other features that command attention are:

"To attempt t<? gain anything like a clear view of the world's activities through the fogs of prejudice and the clouds of self-intertit
that hang always about the local newspaper is a hopeless ta.sk. For one who would lf)ok with unobstructed vision upon the moving world
forces that make for or against the welfare of human kind, THE LITERARY DIGEST Is a mountain peak in a clear sky.
"To spend hours searching the daily columns of chaff for a few grains of possible truth Is h heart-breaking waste of time.
And more?<>n?'s ryes become so blinded, one's brain so bewildered, by the whirl of unholy dust that one Is made Incapable of
recognizing with any degree of certainty the truth for which he searches. To have the best thought of the best thinkers separated
from the ma?s of worthless matter, winnowed from the dirt of sensationalism and irresponsible thoughtlessness, and presented clean
with the unprejudiced scientific dependability of a modern threshing machine, Is a Gc?dsend to all *h<> feel that they have work t"
