MOORE, THE DEFAULTER.
He Is in Canada, But Spotted and Can
not Escape.

ISDiANAPoLIs, Ind, Feb. Joseph A.
Moore, the predecessor Of John l.. sulli-
van, in his flight TO Canada has undoubt-
edly been located in Montreal by the Cam
adian police. The following telegram was
received here today from Montreal:
"Moore is in private clearinghouse
in the east end of the city. Detective
Kellert and his assistants are today watch
ing all the houses in the part OF the town
in which it is believed Moore is located.
lie cannot possibly escape.
"A gentleman who evidently has some
business with Moore arrived here this
morning, but refuses to tell his name.
"a woman accompanies Moore"
The insurance company, so far as
can be learned, has done nothing to-
ward running down Moore; they have not
opened communication with the Montreal
detectives.
The lady who is referred TO in the above
dispatch is doubtless Moore's daughter.
Winfield Miller, the new financial agent
Of the Connecticut Mutual. does not think
the matter will be allowed to drop with
Moorc's fight, but is unable or unwilling
TO indicate what, il any, steps will be taken
toward bringing the fugitive back.
A business man who has had extensive
dealings with the company says that Pres
ident Greene was fairly infatuated with
Moore, and absolutely refused TO listen to
anything against him. lie Gays when
Greene came out here, Moore took him TO
his house and entertained him in royal
style. lie told his superior glowing stories
Of the profitable investments which he
had made, and Col. Greene believed them
all. lie would credit nothing uniayoable
10 Moore's integrity"
One OF Mooro's iayoritc tricks was TO
ride Greene over the city and point out
fine new business buildings, on which he
stated the company held loans OF 100000
or more, when, in fact, they did not nave
u dollar on these fine buildings, MoOre's
loans being mostly upon such property as
WIS scarcely worth the face OF the mort
gage.

OUR MEN OUR MAIN RELLlNCE.


OUR MEN OUR MAIN RELIANCE.
As will be seen from lengthy tele-
graphic dispatch from New York, our
War Department and the military officials
in and about New York City have walked
up TO the fact that our army and navy, our
Notifications and forts, our new cruisers,
our new guns, our dynamite gun and our
torpedo service have been spied out by
authorized agents OF the German War De-
partment, with view TO just such an
emergency rs that which the war in Samoa
has produced. Well, there is undoubt-
eddy some advantage in knowing the enc
my's weak points and being ready with a
plan 10 develop them. but, after all,
it is the men and not the machines
that battles are won with, and it is upon
our men that we should have TO depend in
case OF war with Germany. Such a war
would be fought out on the high seas, and
there our sailors are at home. The records
Of the naval engagements on both sides dur
ing the civil war are full Of examples of
the hcroism that once made the English
navy, and during therevoutionary war and
the war Of 1912 made our navy famous.
1t is upon our "hearts Of iron," and not on
iron-clads, that we must rely, though they
are excellent things TO fight on. Some
Of the monitors, and all of the great
armored steamers OF the Confederate navy
proved to be about as dangerous as they
were destructive OF life. The story Of the
Arkansas is a case in point. The casual
ties on her were very heavy. But then
she ran terrible gauntlet of fire. But
leaving our naval records and recalling
the reports OF the exploits Of the home
squadron OF the British fleet in Bantry
Bay last fall, when it was employed in
playing the game Of war, it would seem as
II the case for the United States was proven
that in fast cruisers, steel armored and
armed with guns Of the latest and best
construction and most destructive power
at long distances, in torpedo boats and
dynamite guns, we are TO find Our best de-
Tense upon the high seas. puny-looking
torpedo can liit one Of these numbering
giants out OF the water and thus de-
slroy millions at one shot and with
them hundreds Of lives Of men cooped
up in it as in cage. Fortunately, we
have none Of these membranes, and, as
our navy is now wisely being reformed OF
an efficient torpedo service, fast cruisers
and dynamite guns, We aro on the safer
side. and really are in the way Of Undue
ing a remodelling Of the nayics OF the
world as we did in 1861 with our mont
tons and iron.clads. As TO our coasts, they
must be defended by our fleets, and in
case Of invasion by our troops, and we
feel sure that In spite Of any preparations
by the German War Department from
knowledge Of our strength and weakness
they would be able successfully 10 cope
with Them

"OPTIONS" ON SCHOOL HISTORIES.
The State school history business has
spread to Alabama. The Legislature Of
that State being in session, bill has Just
been introduced, the first section Of
which requires that the history Of Ala
bama shall be- studied In the schools,
while the second section requires that

Alabama" which Is "now in prepare.

there Is proyiso that the book shall,

Of Alabama have aproposition before them

Mr. Clafk's book is not completed, IL may

Secretary Bayard said today that he re-
garded the action Of the Australian
authorities on the Samoan question as
very important inasmuch as it indicated
that the people OF that large aud prosper

people do, and were not disposed to look
favorably upon foreign encroachments in
