VR e 3 s S £ CLARK TALKS AT EXPOSITION Speaker Makes Principal Address at Liberty Bell Exercises at San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, July 17.—Champ Clark, speaker of the House of Represen- tatives, was Inspired by the reception of the Liberty bell here today to discuss the need of greater military preparedness o preserve to citizens of the United States | that Mberty of which the bell is an Bistorio symbol. In the course of his remarks, he sald: “T differ toto coelo with the preponents of ‘peace at any price.’ That is an amaz- | ing, & demoralizing, a degrading doctrine. | “On the other hand 1 am utterly op- | Posed to those who advocate a large | standing army, and to those who advo- cate & navy equal to the two biggest | navies In the world. I am not a jingo. God forbid! [ hope most profoundly there will never be another war—particularly another to which we are a party, but knowing that human nature has not changed a jot or tittle since Adam and Bve were driven with flaming swords from Paradiss, I am in favor of putting | the country In such posture that if war ehould for any reason become necessary We may emerge from it conqueror, as We have been in ail our wars. Double Number of Cadets. | 'Towards the consummation of this plan, I am in favor of doubling the num- | ber of cadets at West Point and of mak- ing it obligatory upon the secretary of |war to detall an army officer to any school, college or university, which will |furnish & minimum of 20 students to drfll. In that way and at the least pos- sible cost wo could In a few years have | enough drilled men to officer a volunteer |army of & milllon soldiers, if needs be. ; “In fact there would be wisdom In a | scbem by which in addition to the cadets | eduoated free by the government at West Polat and Annapolls, any boy possessing the prescribed qualifications might on reasonable terms be educated at those two great institutions. The surplus West Pointers could be used to advantage in 'mu the youths of the land, while the surplus naval gradustes would malke '-l.dll officers for the great merchant ! marine which President Wilson and some 1 of the rest of us are determined to place |upon the high seas from which our flag | has almost entirely disappeared.

Declares WASHINGTON, July 17.—Formal notice that the United States nolds that the | rights of Americans who have cases be- fore British prize courts rest upon inter- national law and not upon various Brit- tsh orders-in-council or municipal laws is glven in a brief statement cabled to Ambassador Page and presented by him today to the London forelgn office. Secretary Lansing explained tonight that this communication was not to be confused with the general mote now in preparation relating to contraband and interference with American commerce on the high seas. He sald it was more in the nature of a legal caveat generally conserving the rights of citizens of the United States, whose cases are about to be tried by English prize courts. Inasmuch as the prize courts have not yet ruled on any American cases and are belleved to be about to do so, the statement from the United Btates signi- fles In effoct that if there is a denial of justice, diplomatic protests will be entered, based on the general principles | of internaticnal law existing before the | outbreak of the wa Moose Chiefs to See T.
