WOODS LUMBER CO YELLOW PERIL 'OBEY AGAIN Threats of Japanese Invasion Used to Bluff Congress Into Ordering More Battleships and Strengthen- , lag Defenses Builders Behind It. "WASHINGTON, D. C. March 19. Obco more the lowering yellow war cloud glooms the country. Once acre the threatening skeletons of but national helplessness are drngg & forth from their musty closets .nd furbished np to he placed 'bo Tore the trembling public. Once anons the tales of 500,000 little yel 'jcrv men dumped onto our western Jeo&sl to ravage and destroy are told kx loncg of apprehension and dis- War, bloody war, with the disso-: laion of the United States at the usai of it, the entire country impov--eraAed, and the now free American eiliaen ground beneath the heavy ytMevr heel of the littlo men from ilw st, is again foretold, with the j:rave wagging of heads and much 3k; wailing the disnprfcnrnncp of the Igoed old American spirit." "Absolutely defenseless," "at the mercy of the invader," "our unpro leeted coasts," "our merchant mn tibb the minus quantity," and all JBw old stock phrases of the pntri- najie prophet of the dire disaster of '& nation are again in evidence. Up 'and down the corridors in congress, an the anteroom at the Whito House, in liotcl lobbies, along the spacious streets of the capitul, and most of 'all, In the newspapers, are the words ang to ho found. Oaco more appears the "Japanese plana for invading the Pacific awast," found by the obiquitous "se erot agent of a foreign government," who pursues his Machiavellian voca tion from capital to capital. Half of Ho mikado's navy is to remain at Jaime to guard the "Britain of tho wort' and the othor half convoying a fleet of transports is to dump half million little yellow men "at a .oint of vantage on tho Pacific ont," and from thonco tho rich nnd prosperous west is to be overrun. Again wo uro told that the Ameri- can navy is an antiquated tea serv 5e; that tho navy personnel is too small and badly officered; that the American army is a "tin soldier or ganization," officered by "moss backs." . And horrors of horrors! it is now discovered that the American financiers hold millions of dollars' worth of Jnpaneso bonds, and that the gold those bonds took from Am erica real American gold is to be used to finance a war against Am erica. But pause the worst is yet to come we have no modern battle ships. There the secret is out. We need a few billion dollars' worth of floating iron and steel. The dan ger of invasion is immediate, there fore let us lay the keels of a con pie of Drcaduuughts along tho At lantic const in the shipyards and scare the courageous enemy away. A few slow-going plodders ask themselves what is all tho fuss about f One answer is: Congress is considering n recommendation for two brand-new Dreadnoughts, nnd it is a matter of history that every time congress faces an appropria tion for augmenting the navy there is tho same old war scare with the same old horrors, and the anroe old warnings bob up more or less se renely. The president has asked for two big battleships, but he is not pressing the matter. Secretary of the Navy Meyer indorsed the recom mendation. But he is npt begging congress for tho ships. Who is kicking up all the fuss? Shush I Whisper I Maybe the shipbuilders need the money.
