Baruch Urges
Armed
Peace
US Force Strong Enough
to Beat all Comer Way
to Neutrality.
NEW TOBK. Sept II-(ff)-Tbere
U one beat way the United
States can keep oat of war no
matter what happens la Europe
or Asia, Barnard M. Baruch said
today. ; -i - . :
That way, ho aald, la to create
immediately an army, nary and j
air force so strong that no power
or possible combination of pow
ers wonld risk fighting ns.
Baruch said he thought it was
possible to keep ont of war and
that erery; effort should be made
by the nation to do so.
Following "his return irom
Washington, r where he conferred
with President Roosevelt and
others on the subject of national
defense, the man who had charge
nf In rill trial mnhlllutlon dnrlBff
the last great war as head of the I
war Industries board, asserted
that America Is "seriously unpre
pared." 1 -
One Nary Not Enough
The outcome of both Europe
and Asia is doubtful, he said In
an interriew, adding "there Is
definitely a possibility which we
v must prepare against' combi
nation of powers might attack us
on one or both oceans in' the not
'distant future."
"God help the United States if
they "ever get by our one-ocean
, navy," he said. "They hare what
may seem to them reasonable in
' ducements. They might try to
. take our vast resources from us.
"Our army, as Generals Per
shing and Drum have recently
said, is. to put It mildly, Tery
deficient, unable to put up any
real defense against a strong in
vasion. "The tragedy is that everyone
knows it except the people of the
United States. Every foreign power-
knows It.
Army too Small
"This is no reflection on the
personnel of our army; but the
army is pitifully small, untrained,
lacking modern arms and up-to-date
.munitions.
"Up to the present time our
whole system of national defense
has been based upon maintaining
1 jl navy good enough and strong
enough to delay an enemy pow
er's landing on our shores until
we could raise, train and equip
an adequate army which might 1
take a year. (
t'For the first time, that is no
longer sufficient defense. We
have a good one-ocean navy. But
, recent political re-alignments in
Europe and Asia have opened up
the possibility (let" us pray it la
not a probability) that combina
tions of powers could attack us
on both oceans simultaneously
without Interference from the
British navy.
. "In the last war it took us
more than a year , of costly effort
to create an army, and there was
great waste of life and money be
cause of its meagre training and
equipment.-
"We have still not taken far
reaching steps to organize "an ade
quate enough national defense
against all contingencies."

Expenses
Administrator Says Some
Payments not Part of
Estate Cost
A series of objection to the fi
nal account of Ladd ana susn
Trust company, administrator de
bonis non of the estate of Mary F.
Gregoire have been tiled la cireuit
court here by Octavia Cross, ad
ministratrix of the estate of 3. P.
Wilqnet, heir of the Gregoire es-
sate.
Her obpections refer to the pay
ment of sums of S52.03 to Wil
liam J. Knox; three sums totaling
$102.02 to Oscar Hayter; $100 to
Charles J. Zerzan: $250 to John
A. Heltzel: and $71.50 lor survey
ing. Ali of these she claims not to
be estate expenses.
A navment of $1650 to Ross
and Ford and of $1948 to the ad
ministrator de bonis non, she ob-
iects to on the ground that no
showing of extraordinary services
has been rendered in either case.
She asks that $750 be surcharged
the administrator tor failure to
sell horses of no value to the es
tate, and that an additional $2,-
000 be surcharged for failure to
anoly money from wood cutting to
a tax bill of $2468. She alleges
that ripe flax was allowed to spoil
at a cost of $600: and that no at
tempt was made to recover $750
which she maintains came into the
hands of one B. F. Lindas to the
loss of the estate. She asserts that
a credit to John Parker of $550
was allowed to outlaw by the ad
ministrator.
She also claims that-the admin
istrator also allowed parties to cut
timber with damage in excess of
$1500, and that the administrator
should be surcharged $100 for
selling real estate at $21,000 in
stead of $21,100, which was the
highest bid.
Britain Convoys
Merchant Vessels
LONDON, Sept. 16.-0P)-The
British admiralty tonight pressed
convoys for merchant shipping
into service, after it was authori
tatively disclosed that enemy
craft have sunk 21 British ships,
involving a tonnage of 122,843,
during the first two weeks of the
war.
The use of convoys was not
instituted by the British in the
last war until 1917.
While slim cruisers and racing
destroyers roved and struck on
the shipping lanes, planes of the
royal aircraft patrolled the skies
around the United Kingdom In
redoubled efforts to halt the per
sistent shipping losseg to U-boats
or mines.
Despite the casualties, naval
quarters expressed optimism
about tie situation at sea.
Increasing patrol activity and
the . admiralty's cautious an
nouncement that "a number of
U-boats have been destroyed,'
was taken by naval- authorities
to tell a story of far ' greater
successes than the guarded state
ment indicated.
