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.

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.

Testimony Before Industrial Re

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.
Officers of the company are co
operating with employes to improve
conditions in the coal fields, Mr. Rock
efeller said, and he added that he had
nothing to do with letters which be

to President Wilson over the signature
of the Governor of Colorado.
All matters of detail and policies
relating to the strike were carried out
by the officers at the head offices in
Denver, Mr. Rockefeller said, without
asking advice of hims"elt or his New
York associates. 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.
