‘WAR WITH JAPAN i WOULD COME OUT OF AM SKY’ So Simrns Declares in Second Article on Conditions in East. It took u a year to get into the war with Germany. How long would it take us to start fighting it we were suddenly attacked now? And what would happen to us while we • were getting ready? Simms' second article, published today. points out what Japan would do, in the opinion of those who have made a study of the situation. It doesn t sound so good—for us. Read it.

Some Wise Pup Is Poodle-Oodle Do£ A's Done on Record By Robinson-Bernard

By WALTER D. HICKMAN | . MULE is always a mule and I/Jt a dog Is always a dog, but L some pups are wiser than others. That seems to be the message as told in some of tfl£ new songs of the day. Russel Robinson began tickling the piano keys many years ago in this city. He knows h<jw to manufacture nifty songs that have a swing to ’em. WITR-the aid of A1 Bernard, a tenor, Robinson has written two new hot numbers of the day. Brunswick has just announced them on the new list. Am speaking of “My Dog,” and "Keep on Going.” The “poodle” number is one of those wise cracking numbers that has such a jazzy swing- that the electric lights want to blink In time. And a record is hot when It causes the electric current to keep time. This poodle-oodie dog came from New Orleans' and he was sure some wise dog. Poodle-oodie is crazy over lemon pie and is fond of onions. He fell in love with a rooster and growled love songs to Mr. He-Roost-er until one day they had a fight. Then poodle-oodie ran to his master and told him to put grease in the frying pan because-they were going to have fried chicken. Nonsense? Yes, but jazzy fun. Will brighten up the hours at home. Robinson is at the piano and Bernard sings the lyrics in ureal jazzy style. “Keep on Going” gives Robinson a that it was hard to keep track of them. Diplomats, special correspondents and everybody had been caught napping, fooled by the pacific soft soap of the Wilhelmstrasse. It would be part of Japan’s strategy to give us as little warning as possible. With a sudden and terrific

better. Since I)e Wolf Hopper was heard at the Murat in "The Mikado,” have been asked where “Mikado,” music could be obtained. The Brunswick Light Opera Company has recorded on two sides of a Brunswick record nearly all the opera. Such favorites as "A Wandering Minstrel,” “Three Little Maids,” “Behold The Lord High Executioner,” “The Flowers That Bloom In the Spring,” “Tit-Willow” and “He’s Gone and Married Yum-Yum,” are included on the two sides. About the complete opera as done by orchestra, chorus and principals. A splendid number and will increase your admiration for light opera music. There is anew Okeh record that has jumped up in my household as a prime popular favorite. The record includes “Bring Back Those Rock-a-Bye Bdby Days,” as sung by Earl Rickard, baritone, and “When You and I Were Seventeen,” as sung by a tenor. Richard’s voice and manner of delivery reminds me of A1 Jolson, Days” is a mammy song, sweet In and not too sloppy In sentiment. -I- -T -IIndianapolis theaters today offer: “Saint Joan,” with Julia Arthur and a great cast at English’s; “Lenora’s Steppers,” at the Lyric; Gygi and Svern, at Keith’s; Fritz!

Seize Guam, our undefended base 1,600 miles east of Manila. 3. Strike a blow at Panama—no* seize It but. by sabotage or other means, block the canal to prevent its use by the United States during the first critical weeks of war. 4. Strike a similar blow at Hawaii. 5. Mine the western Pacific from Kamchatka to the East Indies, putting a barrier of explosives between America and the Far East and making the Japanese Empire almost invulnerable. 6. Send out some of the fast cruisers she Is now building to act as commerce raiders —as Germany did the “Emden” and other craft—and her long-radius submarines to harass our far-flung lines of communication across the Pacific. 7. Retain her capital ships and main fleet intaot in home waters to spring out at us 3,500 miles from our nearest base—’n the event we can still use Hawaii—and 6,000 miles from our own shores. 8. Bring to bear the full force of her air fleet, operating froip shore bases or from carriers close to home, together with her fast-growing armada of fighting craft and naval auxiliaries not limited by the already obsolete. 5-5-3 agreement of Washington.

Work Fast These things having been done oq the clang of the bell at the verj/ beginning of war, or beforehand, as Japan struck Russia In 1904; the warmer at least that phase of the War—would be over so far as Japan is concerned. It would then be up to us to gather ourselves together and try to recover lost time, lost ground and lost prestige. The United States declared war against Germany on April 6, 1917. Yet not a shot was fired by Americans from French tremjhes until Oct. 27, or more than six months after. We did no real fighting for a year. But for Great Britain, France, Belgium, Italy and several other allies holding Germany back, plus Britain’s control of the Atlantic, we would not have been there then. Instead, unprepared as we were, Germany might have battered us for years before we finally got under way. If Japan attacks us, she chances are that we will be left to fight it out alone. There will be no Britain and France and Italy and Belgium and Russia and Serbia and Roumanian and the rest to hamstring her while we get ready. - To the contrary, would strike suddenly and tike a wildcat, taking possession of the Western Pacific and then sitting tight, forcing us to come at her—alone. \ Next: Naval war between United States and Japan would result m a stalemate, foreign critics say.
