THE MORNING OREGONIAN. FRIDAY, MAT 21, l'.Jlo. DAN6ERQFINVAS10H DECLARED GREATER General Wood Says American Idea of Safe Remoteness Is Only Delusion. CONFERENCE IS CRITICISED Situation Xot Squarely l-'acecl, in Opinion or ex-Chier or Starr. Delegate Takes Issue, Charg ing German' Argument. MOHONK LAKE, N. Y.. May 20. The liko Mohonk Conlerence on Interna tional Arbitration furnished the for.im today for a. warm debate on armament between Secretary of War Uarrison and General Leonard Wood on the one Bide and Normal AiiKell. ot New York, oik the other. Mr. Ansell. who Is one of the foremost advocates of disarma ment and who recently returned from lu.spital service in the war zone, de clared that the words of tio Secr.itiry of War and the ex-chief of st.iff of the Army urging the United States to make greater military preparations were "precisely the speeches he Jiad board so many times in Germany." General Wood spoke att-ir the Sec retary of War had finished a pica for more adequate armament. "We soldiers and sailors," said Gen erl Wood, "are merely your trained servants. You create wars; we try to terminate them. Nine out ot 10 wars are based on trade. The trouble with most conference of this kind is that they do not look conditions in the face. We must not delude ourselves that our peoBraphlcal remoteness had madu us cafe." Invasion UanKcr Inrirmn. Improved ' methods of transport, lie asserted, have increased the danger of Invasion. "This is one of the great causes of armament this and the frrcater efficiency of implements o vur. When we have ceased to fight for our honest convictions we shall rouse to be worthy to exist as a Na tion. It is murder for you to send our boys to war untrained wnen it Is pos sible to train them. All we soldiers nnri sailors want is tnrft yi give us a reasonable degree of preparation, so when your boys come to us to fight the feHcriftce may be as -tight as possible." Mr. Ansell" fairly ran to the speaker's stand to make his reply. "Nowhere would those speeches have been so welcome as in ticrmany, lie cried. lie declared that increased ar maments offered no solution of the jrcc problem. "Here are two nations anNiotis to keen the peace by each be in- si.onuui' than the other. This is an impossible situation. I don't be lieve that this will be war that will end war. The mere piling up of American armament will not help the problem. Obviously the militaristic so lution of beinu stronger than the other man has failed. ro not let us make the same mistake as the nations of Europe." l'rrnl Situation Should inidr. "1 can and do entirely sympathize with every sane and sensible move ment which tends to abolish conflict and to insure peace." said Secretary tiarrlson; "but I am utterly out of sympathy with the Idea that we should neglect or postpone consideration or what is now the existing condition be cause of a hope or a belief or even conviction that it may be altered, even radically altered, in the future." Such a prreat epochal event as the establishment of an international tribunal or the limitation of arma ment. Garrison said, could only be brought about "by those who are Btronsr. courageous, self-respectins and rlirhteous: by those who look facts fearlessly In the face and act accord ingly; by those whose conduct is guided , by reason and Judgment." If "we are a nation possessing these characteris tics, he said, "then we will fearlessly and courageously take up the present problem which it Is our duty to deter mine, and will determine it properly and be prepared In the proper way and with the proper spirit for what may come hereafter. "Militarism in the sense of the abso lute necessity of proper military pre cautions and military preparations, is the Imperative question for decision and it needs stout hearts and sound minds to decide it. We are surely not so much deluded as to believe that we can reach by intuition what others can only acquire by training; and ex perience. We are surely not so sacrl legioua or irreverent as to believe that providence has unjustly discriminated in our favor and against other people of the world. B. Gordon's court today. Mrs. Frank Raymond, of 66 Vine street, this city, is charged with desecration of the American flag, the outgrowth of a bit ter tirade she is alleged to have uttered against the Stars and Stripes while at tending a visitors' day outing last Sun day at the Parental School on Mercer Island. The woman's bond was fixed at $1000. "I think this woman should be de ported to Canada, of which she is a native, but first of all I strongly desire to prosecute her for a desecration of the American flag," wrote Superin tendent Willis S. Band, head of the rarental School, to Prosecuting Attor ney Alfred H. Lundin. The flag drill, one of the most im pressive moments of the school day for these Juvenile offenders against the school laws of the city, consists of low ering: of the Stars and Stripes to the accompaniment of music by the boys' band. During the half-hour ceremony the boys stand, caps doffed, in respect ful silence. It was during this ceremony, say the witnesses, that Mrs. Raymond, her own 13-year-old son being one of the boys in line, began her abuse of the flag. Superintendent Hand declares that he ordered the woman off the grounds, but that she refused to go and her tones grew louder as she continued. Her son, Kdward Raymond, was sent to the 1'arental School last February, follow ing a long period of truancy from the Denny School.

Main Armtra of t'r JVot Yet In Action, Is View; Allie Advised to Van All Force Immediately in France. LONDON, May iO. A two-column anajysis of the strategic situation, writ ten by its military correspondent who has been at the Western front, is printed by the Times. The correspond ent expresses disappointment that bet- ler preparations are not made to meet the Austro-German blow acrainst the Russians in Gallcia, which was expected a month before it occurred. He says, however, that the misfor tune of one out of four Russian armies is not likely to be decisive, and Grand Duke Nicholas is pursuing his usual plan of executing retreats as a means of re-constitutlng his army, tiring out the enemy and drawing him farther away from his bases. No German offensive in France will be practicable on a large scale before the end of July, the Times expert be lieves, and it is the duty of the allies to exploit this delay by sending every available man to France to prosecute an energetic offensive. Sunrise, AVyo., Pastor Continues Testimony Before Industrial Re lations Committee, Charging Abuse of Workmen. WASHINGTON, May 20. Reiterating his denial that he took part in direct ing the strike In the Colorado coal fields. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., read a detailed statement today before the In dustrial Relations Commission. Mr. Rockefeller declared that he made every effort to bring about peace and that he took steps to see that no offi cial of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Com pany took part in any prosecution.

Ho said that as soon as he acquired fuller knowledge of the situation he made efforts to help ter minate the controversy. Suggestions Given Officers. Mr. Rockefeller then gave the "sub stance of every suggestion which we made to the Denver office during the strike." The suggestions of Mr. Rockefeller were grouped under 10 headings, as follows: - "That an investigation by three Fed eral Judges be invited: that provision be made for injured employes and their families: that disinterested mediators be appointed to intervene; that the op erators reiterate their acceptance of Governor Amnions' proposition of set tlement: that a plan to get together be developed; that disputed points other than union recognition be submitted to a board to be appointed by the Presi dent of the United States; that a plan of publicity he developed; that a plan of organization to secure collective bargaining and oportunity for present ing employes' grievances be consid ered; suggestion in regard to President Wilson's plan of truce and that a plan of self-government for employes be considered." "As to the future," he said, "wc are bending every energy toward the de velopment of sound conditions. Mr. Rockefeller added tnat ne plans to visit Colorado In the near future.

"Mr. Balnton made me very angry hv warninar you through me that fur ther criticism of the company mtgni cost vou vour position. air. McCorkle declared doctors' bills at Sunrise were taken out of the work ers' wages. In one case, be said, the company doctor did not arrive until a baby was born, but charged $25. which was deducted from the father's pay check. "The mother." said Mr. McCorkle, "declared there was only $5 left to live on that month. When the baby was sick and the doctor prescribed castor oil, he would not leave one dose be cause there .was no money to pay for it" AUSTRALIAN CHIEF KILLED Commander looses Life at Dardan elles; long Casualty I,ist Posted.
