The boy put all his foreign correspondence on the table and the colt's owner with this full information sold him the animal for $20 honor or our interest were menaced by a foreign power this nation would fight wholly without regard to whether sir not its navy was efficient In the event of a crisis arising the peace advocates who object to our building up the navy would be absolutely powerless to prevent this country going to war All they could do would be to prevent its being successful in the an A strong navy is the surest guaranty of peace that America can have and the cheapest insurance against war that Uncle Sam can possibly pay" With the first rumor in 1907 of the proposed cruise the anti-Roosevelt press immediately attacked the move as a jingoistic undertaking that would culminate in war with Japan One southern newspaper suggested that the President be impeached in order to halt the project CRITICS IN THE SERVICE Another vigorous objection was that the Atlantic coast would be deprived of protection The Navy a monthly publication devoted to technical naval affairs pointed out that the fleet was not adequately equipped for battle games much less a real war It commented: "The more the Pacific cruise under present conditions is considered the more strongly it appears to be an undertaking about equally compounded of ill-justified vainglory and cheap politics" Despite such protests Roosevelt ordered the fleet to depart December 16 1907 under the command of Rear Admiral Robley Dunglison (Fighting Bob) Evans In his memoirs "An Admiral's Log" Evans later wrote that Roosevelt bade him good-by with these words: "Remember Admiral Evans you sail with the confidence of the President more completely than any admiral ever did before Your cruise is a peaceful one but you realize your responsibility if it should turn out otherwise" Evans replied that he was ready "for a fight or a frolic" Then the admiral returned to his flagship from the presidential yacht and the "white messengers of peace" as Roosevelt called the armada steamed out of the harbor as bands played and the huge crowd cheered IN IMPRESSIVE ARRAY The fleet consisted of sixteen battleships accompanied by two supply ships a repair ship and a tender Preceding the battleships were a flotilla of six torpedo boats and a squadron of armored cruisers Nearly 15000 mew were aboard the vessels as well as numerous newspaper correspondents The task of providing sufficient supplies for the men was one of the hardest faced by the commanding officers When the fleet left Hampton Roads the stores included: 1 million pounds of beef fresh and tinned: 150000 pounds of butter 24000 dozen eggs 100000 pounds of coffee: 65000 pounds of soap and 11000 pounds of tobacco The morning of December 17 the second day out the armada was off Hatteras well into the Gulf stream The warm climate seemed a welcome change from the raw weather at Ft Monroe but the hospital records registered a different opinion One ship reported twenty-six cases of measles another a dozen cases of mumps chickenpox and scarlet fever had claimed several more victims The itinerary for the first part of the cruise included stops at Trinidad Rio Janeiro Punta Arenas at the entrance to the Magellan Straits Callao and Magdalena bay in Lower California The trip of 14000 miles during which the fleet was welcomed royally by all the South American nations visited was completed in less than five months After 'a month's target practice at Magdalena bay the fleet moved on to tumultuous welcomes at Los Angeles and San Francisco Hundreds of thousands of persons representing virtually all the states west of the Rocky mountains gathered to see the Armada and fete the sailors Admiral Evans attributed the unusual interest to two factors: In the first place most persons came to see the naval forces for the first time and secondly they came to see if the show of power would be sufficient to daunt Japan Thus at the same time they satisfied their sightseeing curiosity they allayed their fears of Japanese invasion which most of them believed imminent lour 3111 Conriction The day of the city elft1011 of 1934 will go down in the records Rs a disgrace to Kansas City Carloads of hoodlums cruised the streets Voters were intimidated by threats from armed gangs in dozens of Beatings occurred throughout the city And four persons were murdered Now after four years it appears passible that one person will serve a penitentiary sentence A 10-year sentence was obtained on a manslaughter charge against John Gadwood Democratic factional leader There was never an attempt at a genuine prosecution Other persons identified with the mass beatings and murder were unmolested by the prosecutor's office This conviction stands as the only answer of the law to mob violence Thete can be little question from the evidence that it was justified Until Gadwood can be found there is not even a certainty he will go to the penitentiary Another charge against him is still on the criminal docket A great deal more could have been done and should have been done March 27 1934 cannot be erased from Kansas City memory for years to come And it was followed by the memorable November 3 1936! THEODORE ROOSEVELT'S BIG SHOW OF NAVAL POWER IN THE PACIFIC Predictions of a War With Japan Were Made When America's Fleet Started Out Thirty Years Ago This Week on Globe-Circling Cruise Which Won United States Recognition as a First-Class Force on the Met a Polite Reception in Nippon 1 Escape at Alcatraz Escape of two convicts from the supposed13 escape-proof federal prison on Alcatraz island In San Francisco bay will be at once an encouragement to every criminal who may expect some day to land there and a source of regret to every law abiding the two Oklahoma desperadoes who disappeared actually have reached freedom on the mainland One of the reasons why the threat of confinement in Alcatraz has been so salutary in the past has been the wide belief that it was impossible ever to leave the prison without being legally freed It has not yet been established that the two fleeing convicts actually succeeded in their attempt The opinion of the warden of Alcatraz is that if they attempted to swim the mile and a quarter of open water to the mainland with an ebb tide rushing swiftly through the channel the men must have been swept out to sea and drowned Since the escape attempt occurred during the winter's heaviest fog how ever there is always the possibility that a boat ialt or even driftwood may have helped the fugitives Alcatraz is believed to be equipped with the most elaborate safeguards among the worlds penal institutions An inmate cannot even carry a safety razor blade without its being detected by electrical devices Communication between prisoners except under supervision is almost impossible The cell and door bars are made of toolproof steel Barbed wire entanglements surround the entire island outside of the walls themselves which are all but unscalable Yet in spite of these precautions it appears that there was one window without bars through which by breaking the panes the men had access to a ledge This single weak point was sufficient Evidently Alcatraz needs further attention to make it escape-proof Ls Xmas The schools hursday the 23d and no more brid ewhunati-I in Paris has sloAwewdeuekp Xinfromas stohdoapyp

Parkway on city election day in 1934 The court also affirmed death sentences for Raymond Boyer John Brown and William Wright all convicted of murder in Jackson County Brown and Wright are Negroes The court reversed a murder conviction from Callaway County on a showing that the de lendant a Negro was tried in a court that never called Negroes for jury service Without recommending Negroes for jury service the court held under the Scottsboro decision that a Negro tried in a court which habitually barred the service of jurors on racial grounds was deprived of a constitutional right Gov Huxman of

longer than any ever before undertaken by as large a fleet of any nation can we find out just exactly what is necessary for us to know as to our naval needs and practice our officers and enlisted men

from its globe-circling cruise ADVICES from Washington this week intimated that the Roosevelt administration is considering advancing the starting date of the United States navy's fleet maneuvers in the Pacific in order to impress on Japan the strength of the Amer-lean lighting machine President Franklin Roosevelt in any contemplation of the proposed demonstration has before him the example of

attempt to revolt in connection with the so-called "sit-down strike' on the Algic last September in the harbor of Montevideo Uruguay a federal court Jury in Baltimore has established an excellent precedent Indeed had the defendants been acquitted it is difficult to see how plans for the 1 rehabilitation of the United merchaut marine could possibly have been carried on The maintenance of discipline in a crew obviously is essential for the safety both of the 'I ship and of every one on board This fact does not mean that seamen should De precluded front Iindustrial organization for

from its home port all persons concerned whether passengers shippers or owners have a right to I assume that for the duration of its voyige it i will be efficiently and loyally operated I Labor conditions on many American merchant ships in the past have ')en unsatisfactory The riew maritime commission which has 1 I charge of the government's rehabilitation pro- gram has served notice that they must be cor- rected But strikes in foreign ports are not the i proper method They merely tQnd to destroy i public confidence in ships flying the American 'i flag As chairman of the commission Joseph i Kennedy rightly instructed the officers of the Algic to maintain disciplinr at all 'cost 1 and the federal Jury in Baltimore has now backed him up These verdicts should help to clarify a

by ill health to give up his command to Rear Admiral Thomas Under Thomas the "white messengers of peace" sailed across the Pacific to show Japan the might of the United States If the Japanese were impressed they displayed little outward sign But neither did they declare war When the cruise first had begun Tokyo officials and newspapers had commented with characteristic giavity that it was no concern of any foreign power and they would be deeply honored should the fleet visit Japan When the armada neared Nippon it was welcomed by a Japanese squadron that equaled It in number ship for ship Great cburtesy was extended to the visitors before the fleet moved on The Root-Takahira reciprocal note which followed closely the fleet's visit was made public December 1 1908 It was never submitted to the United States senate however Under the terms of the note the United States recognized Japan's Asiatic interests This important point overshadowed Japan's concession in the immigration problem Immigration was to continue on the basis of the "gentlemen's agreement" but Japan agreed to issue no passports to laborers The diplomatic record has been cited by some observers as evidence that Japan was not overly impressed by the American display of naval strength It is true that the demonstratien and the subsequent negotiations did little to curtail Japan's ascending power but the fact is the entire world was amazed by the efficiency and organization of the United States navy as revealed in the cruise Recognition of this country as a first-class naval power dates from that long voyage of 1907-08 As a result of the interest aroused in the fleet and the development influenced by that event Theodore Roosevelt has become known as the father of the modern American navy and his birthday

Broadcasting corporation has decided to undertake a regular schedule of rIeW5 broadcasts in foreign languages Its purpose virtually admitted by the postmaster general of Great Britain is to correct the distorted 'news" commentaries now being broadcast from certain European stations either as propaganda or to make trouble in other countries The significance of this decision lies in the fact that the is owned and managed by the British government While various powerful radio stations have long been filling the air of Europe with deliberately misleading and inflammatory broad-Casts Italy has
