ested here to make the predictions
that the soldiers would soon cross the
Rio Orandb. Heretofore only one
company of infantry has patrolled
the entire water front.

foreshadow a demonstration by
America In connection with the state

Nelson A. Miles, U. S. A. retired.
Discussing Count Von Reventlow's
artlclo, given to the United Press,
General Miles declared he believed
there would be no war with Japan,
"But you never can tell," he ad
ded. "There Is no earth reason why
Japan should go to war with Amer
ica. However, If ever tbey should
clash, the Pacific Islands would
quickly succumb to the attack. In
three or four weeks the United States
could put 3,000,000 men, properly
equipped and well officered, in the
field. This Is sufficient argument
that Japanese aggression beyond the
Islands would not be effective."
