:actual condition of our navy." Rear
:Admlral Flake wrote, “I most re-
:spectfuiiy beg leave to suggest the
usdvisabiilty of describing itlto them
:brieny. in so far as it bears on the
zpresent American-Japanese situa-
:tion. Possibly. if our people were
zlold the truth about the naval situa-
:tion, they would not be as indiffer-
Tent as they are to the diplomatic
Zsituation."
:5 "Of course. I do not mean to sug-
f-gest." said the Rear Admiral. “that
“1 .u. is even possible; but neVerths—
lieu. it may be pointed out that the
Japanese and the Americans have
flatten attitudes that are irreconcil-
Jable. and that the Japanese have
3'vlrtually broken off diplomatic rela-
:tions by giving their ambassador a
.E‘vacation.’ Such attitudes and such
acts have usually preceded wars.
(though they ave not always been

i Rear Admiral Flake recalled that
';'as u. member of the General Board
of the Navy in 1910 and 1917 and
”as aide for operations from 1913 to
’1916. the problems that would be
., presented by a. war with Japan were
this "principal preoccupation."
.. Though the American people imv
isgine. he said. that as a result of
.‘ the naval treaty the United States
" fleet is superior to the Japanese navy
~‘ in the ratio of five to three. "this is
the reverse of the truth." liven if
the American navy were superior in
:capitsl ships, he asserted. it is far
:from being superior in that ratio
'in active personnel and it is "far
1inferior" in reserves. »
»' "It Japan should go to the ex.
:treme of taking the Philippine Is-
”lands and thus force us into war.”
gths letter added. "we should find
Iburselves in a deplorable condition
:becausc of the lack of trained men
in well as of other requisites.”
I Referring to his service on the
:General Board of the Navy. Admiral
:E‘iske said:
:I»“‘We believed that Japan would
:t_ake the Philippine Islands if ever
grille resentment of the people against
:us should reach a height sufficient
:to assure the government of their

DOG SAVES FAMILY
BRIDGEPORT. June 4.—-The
barking of a. dog last. night probably
averted trager when nine members
of the family of Joseph Herman-
dinger. of Oxbrook rohd near the
end of Madison avenue. were routed
from their sleep by fire that de-
stroyed their home. ‘
Retiring about 10 o'clock the fam-
ily was awakened an hour later by
the cries and whelps of the family
pet cooped in a kennel in the yard.
Smoke was curling ‘lhrougn the
rooms and hallways of the ileum.
Amused 'ouly in time to escape
the names. which were eating
through the building. Hermamlsr-ger
his wife and sei’én children Were
forced to flee from the place in their
night clothes. When they were cale-
ly out of the house. the dog. mils-
fied. lay contentedly down in his
tunnel.
Two miles from the nearest the
signal box, the house was beyond
saving when the firemen arrived on
an alarm sotnoed from a but at
slain and Vincellct streets.
The spectacular bbze illuminated
the sky for miles around. The dam-
age is estimated by firemen at 81..
000. The building was a onc.story
bungalow. Hermandlnger is con-
nected with the Salvation Army.
Neighbors cared for the family.

John M. Comlcy. of Bridgeport. will
become court reporter of Judicial
decisions of the Supreme Court of
Errors on January 1. next Chief
Justice George W. Wheeler an-
nounced at the opening of the June
court term here yesterday. The
resignation of James P. Andrews.
for more than 30 years court rc-
portcr, was accepted with regret by
the court. A. commendatory slate-
ment of the court on Andrew's serv.
ice was read into the minutes.

nation becomes eacctive. He is the

merit of the Federal inheritance
tax. raised to four per cent. by the
tax revision bill approved by Prehi-
dent Coolidge Monday. was advoca-
ted by State Tax Commissioner
William H. Biodgott last night.
Others connected with state i‘ln-
ance supported Mr. Blodgett's view
and expressed themselves as fav~
stable to a. tax conference of state
and national authorities to devise
some plan of dividing the field of
taxation between states and the
Federal government, as suggested
by the President in his statement
on the bill.
“There should be no Federal In-
heritance tax." said Mr. Blodgctt.
"It is a tax on the right to trans-
fer property by death. Property
rights are protected by the Probate
courts; the Federal courts have no-
thing to do with it.
"The estates are settled by the
states and not by the Federal gov:
ernmcnt. The Federal inheritance
tax should be abolished.
"The cost of administering this
tax under the Federal government
must be pretty excessive, that is\the
overhead. I venture to say it is
many times over what it costs the
state per dollar collected."
