ANDREWS SEES DANGER AHEAD
I'rgea necessity for Pacific Coast De
fences aa Protection Against
Rassla's Designs.
HASTINGS, Neb., Jan. 23.-flpeclal.)-A
good sised audience greeted Chancellor An
drews at the Baptist church last night for
an address on "Problems of Greater Amer
ica." These problems, tho speaker said,
had Increased the necessity for acuteness
In the consular and diplomatic service of
the United States. Bismarck was the Ideal
diplomatist, and his secret was not only
knowledge of International law, but knowl
edge of men. The speaker urged thnt col
lege and university students prepare them
selves for the diplomatic service.
Forecasting ultimate developments In the
Philippines, the chancellor said: "As the
Insular cities outside of Manila formulate
and direct their own fiscal policies so will
grow the condition of territoriality and
after that statehood. After that this coun
try will probably give them the option of
remaining under our flag or becoming In
dependent." He added that the linguistic
peculiarities and religious beliefs and su
perstitions of the islanders could be In
terfered with only at our peril. The only
native customs that could be put down at
any coet were such as deprived some of
natural rights.
In conclusion the chancellor urged the
strengthening of our Pacific coast defenses.
The trans-Rocky mountain country is ver
itably an empire In wealth and extent, and
there is great danger In leaving It Improp
erly defended. We must guard against the
ambition of Russia. For a hundred years
Russia has been trying to build a power
ful navy, first near St. Petersburg, then in
the Black sea, now In the Pacific, and it
la not building It for fun. Here ne asked
the suggestive question, "How far Is it
from Port Arthur to San Francisco? The
traditional friendship of Russia has re
sulted from a supposed common hatred for
Great Britain. We cannot permanently
have the friendship of both Russia and
Great Britain.
