GENERAL WOOD
HITS PACIFIST
| New York, March 23 — Major
Generai Wood, stirred by a cri
ticism oi compulsoj-y military ser
Yice in an address at a banquet of
the Economic club here, turned on
the speaker, the Rev. Adolf A.
Berle, widley known as a lecturer ca
educational topics, and declared Lhit
the doctrine he preached "means
the murder of our sons and the
dishonor of our woman."
• General Wood had addressed the
» diners earlier in the evening. He
! asked for a second hearng after
[ Dr. Borle had arraigned the advo
» cates of compulsory milltaay ser
» vice and asserted that with three
| months' training he could "hold his
( own with any army officer in the
t field."
Dr. Berle had said that prepar
' ediuss had been "harped upon by
i every secretary of waa; for 30 years"
' auu added that he saw no reason to
1 become hysterical ajid attempt to
■ oiganize an army in 15 minutes
! larger than the Prussian army b&
' fore the war which required 100
• years to perfect.
! General Wood's ra ippearance
J brought the diners to their feet
• with chee<rs.
i "Of courso we want volunteer
| service, just as We want voluntary
' morality, just as we want every
„ thing 'bat is good," asserted Gen
eral Wood, "but none but a fool ex
k pects to get it."
General Wood appealed to the
" women present by saying: "The
E* preceding speech is full of those
principles which insure the useless
, eacrifice of life—the death of youx
' eons. It is a wicked and absurd
r doctrine, full of uutruths and false
fa hoods."
j. Then turning to Dr. Berle, Gen
^ eral Woo<l declared: "We have
'* boys who are willing to serve; we
I* are willing to die, but 1 hope we
>. are better prepared to die than you
, are."
Mayor Mitchtl and a number of
others crowded around General
- Wood and shook his hands when
he finished and the diners cheered
again.
BILL FDRIrUST
CO. I» ALASKA
Juneau, March 23 — A frill will
be introduced in the territorial sen
ate iu the next day or two, it is
said, b** President O. P. Hubbard
providing for the establishment oi
trust companies in Alaska. The
territorial legislature is empowered
to allow the establishment of such
companies and it is thought that
they vvculd be of the greatset aid
to tho development of the terri
tory in several ways as they can
lend money on real estate, get
behind shares of stock and do many
things to aid development which
banks cannot do. In Valdez, just at
present, for instance, since the big
p fire several lots are lying vacant and
probably if there were a Trust Co.
. some arrangement could be made to
; have such lots built upon. It is
I also pointed out that people with.
1 money in the East who have it in
s banks would bo found willing to
-have such money placed at better
terms when it is being used for de
velopment of sound properties that
1 have been thoroughly investigated.
