Berlin, March 15. Count Ernest
Von Reventlow, the most noted strat
egist and military writer in Germany,
declared today that the "American
naval base constructed in the Philip
pines Is Intolarble to Japan. Su
premacy Jn the waters of the far East
Is necessary to the life of Japan, and,
realizing this, her statesmen are
planning to strike soon."
Count Von Reventlow furnished
the United Press today with advance
proofs of his carefully prepared es
say on Japanese-American relations.
The summing up of his argument is
as follows:
"It is not denied, even by the skep-
tlcal that Japan is preparing for an
aggressive war with the United
States. The main object of the Rus-
slan war was not the annexation of
territory, but to prevent the perma
4 nent occupation by Russia of Korea
Kwantung and Port Arthur.

Los Angeles, Calif., March 13, In
a eifif signed by Ricardo Flores
Magon, Its president, the Mexican
liberal Junta here has appealed to
Samuel Gompers for recognition of
the revolutionary movement in Mex
lco by the American federation of la
bor. " In its appeal, the Junta pro
tests against the use of the United
States army in the Interests of Wall
street. The letter follows:
"The Mexican liberal party ap
peals to you directly and officially,
as head of the largest body of or
ganized labor In the United States,
It appeals to you In a cause as Just
and holy as ever history recorded
It makes an appeal, therefore, that
you cannot, and we are Biire will not,
resist. It la time that the working-
men of the United State speak out
and it Is for you to give the word,
'promptly and decisively.
'The slavery against which we are
fighting is the slavery your American
Federation of Labor was organized to
fight. The chains that the money
nower has fastened on us are the
chains against which you fret. Our
cause is your cause, .but your cause
in its extremest, most pitiable and
therefore moat irresistible form.
"We are in revolt against unspeakable,-atrocious
slavery, forced upon
us and supported by the American
money power. The Standard Oil
company, the Guggenhelms, the sugar
trust, the Southern Pacific railway-
all, that Wall street autocracy against
which you and the great masses of
your nation are making such vigor
ous protpst are the powers against
which we of Mexico are in revolt.
They have dispossessed us of our
lands and rendered us homeless by
the hundreds of thousands, they have
left us the choice of exile or linprls
onment In such bells as the Vallena-
clonal. To support this Wall street
Inferno, American soldiers are being
called to arms. It Is time for effec
tive protest, and it is you who can
make it most effective."
A story is often perfectly good and
true until the lawyer for the other
side gets at the witnesses.

(UNITED I'SKSS LEASED WIRB.
Portland, Ore., March 15. Sent by
her mother to a butcher shop yester
day, the body of little Barbara Holtz
nian, aged 5, was found In a room of
a lodging house at 107 Russell street
today by Mrs. Bertha Nelson who
runs the place. She had previously
rented the room to a man who ap
parently was a laborer.
When Mrs. NelHon threw back Vji
coverings of the bed this morning she
found the blood stained body of the
little girl.
Mrs. Nelson says she rented the
room to the man shortly after 10
o'clock yesterday forenoon. She
said he left It and returned about 1
o'clock and through the partitions
she heard a noise as though a body
had dropped on the floor. She
thought nothing of the matter at the
time, and did not think to look into
the room until late this forenoon
when she went Into It to sweep.
Meanwhile the stranger had disap
peared. The police this afternoon started
search for the man on the theory
that he must have been the murder
er. He Is described a!) being of
slender build, aged about 45 years.
Save for a mustache which was
tinged with gray, his face was cleanly
shaven. He wore a dark overcoat
and a Mack slouch hat.
When the litle girl did not return
yesterday afternoon the police began
an Investigation but were unable to
find any trace of the child until this
morning when the body was found.
The child is the daughter of Voel
lln Holtzman a mechanic who resides
at 763 Borthwick street, a few blocks
fijra the room where the body was
found.

London, March 16. For the first
time in two years, Admiral Lord
Boresford, England's naval expert,
consented today to discuss the rela

(By Admiral Lord Charles Bores
ford, U. N.)
Speakln at the Pilgrim's dinner, at
New York, In August, 1908, I de
clared In favor of an arbitration trea
ty between England and the United
States and including all questions in
dispute. 1 believed then, and I be
lieve, now, that suoh a traaty would
insure, the world's peace and ultimate
disarmament. .
If England and America agreed to
use their influence to keep the peace
it is bard to conceive any nation at
tempting war with such an agree
ment. The International race for ar
mament will inevitably result in uni
versal .bankruptcy or .in war. , There
can be no other outqome.
America must take the Initiative.
England is the world's most vulner
able nation because seizure . of her
trade routes, in, the event of war,
would cripple her desperately within
a week. To England war is a matter
of life and death, while to other pow
ers It la merely inconvenient. There

THE WORLD
establish the peace principle unaid
ed, America could easily succeed
with England's oo-operation. Warn
of aggrandizement are easier to pre
vent than wars where honor Is In
volved, but even the latter would be
preventable, If the disputants knew
that we made It more difficult for
them to fight.
For instance, America and Eng
land, practically controlling the
world's markets, could make Impos
sible the oonduct of a prolonged
struggle by any other two nations.
This control, Backed by the com

would render mi impossible.

take the first step. I think England
would follow. If the administration
of the two nations will not act, let
the two gTeat Anglo-Saxon families
move spontaneously.
