SECRETARY PLEADS 1
FOR PREPAREDNESS
Davis Sees Possibility of An
other War '‘Before
Many Years.”
The possibility of another war “be
fore many years” and the need for
experienced armies and adequate
equipment to be ready for it were
stressed by Secretary of Labor James |
J. Davis in an address at a meeting of j
tiie Military Order of the World War j
at the La Fayette Hotel yesterday
afternoon. It took a year of the World
War for this country to become pre
pared, the Secretary said. !
Admiral T. J. Cowie was installed
as commander of the District of
Columbia chapter of the order. Col.
Fred B. Ryons was elected to succeed
Maj. Rowan Lemley on the general
staff, and the following new members
were elected: Ensign Eugene P. Me-
Crorken, Ensign Irving M. Day, Lieut.
Howard W. Amili, Lieut. Herbert J
Jacobi, Lieut. William J. Jacobi, Maj
John Stuart Hunt and Lieut. William
T. Williams.
“There are war clouds on the
horizon at the present time,” Secre
tary Davis said, “and predictions are
freely made that another war will j
come before many years. It is uni- j
versally admitted that the last war !
settled nothing. It brought no more
good to the victors than to the van
quished, and a condition of uneasiness
has been apparent ever since.”
Insisting that this country should
keep out of European squabbles if it
can, he pointed out that conditions
might make it imperative for us to
intervene, as in the last war.
“The time has come to look reality !
in the face,” the Secretary said. “The !
world is not composed of angels: i: j
is not made up of pacifists, nor of ■
men who are too proud to fight. On ’
the contrary it is made up of men j
many of whom are only too proud of j
an opportunity to fight, and so long |
as it is made up of such. I say, let ;
us be prepared to fight them if j
necessary.”

“Women must not think they are on
any different footing from men; they
must not be late for court or they will
be fined just the same as men.” said
Justice Horridge of London recently.
