Need OF Naval Militia.

The bill introduced to the House of
Representatives by Congressman Jen-
kins is one that should have the Jealous
support ofaH Representatives Of states
bordering on the great lakes. The bill
provides for the establishment of
naval militia, the members of which
shall be provided with uniforms and
arms, and be instructed in naval drill
by junior officers of the navy at the cost
of the government; but the force shall
he unpaid, except when called into
active service for defense of the state.
The causes moving to the introduction
of the bill, and its passage, as we hope,
are few, but strong. In the first place,
although the full number Of men
allowed by existing laws to be enlisted
for naval service is now employed upon
the ships under commission, yet there
are number Of vessels which are drsig-
mated a. the naval reserve force,
for which no trained recruits can be
had in the event of a sudden emergen-
cy. A naval militia Will insue the
proper manning of reserve fleet at
moments notice.
In the second place, the States Of
Ohio, Indiana. Wisconsin and Mime
sofa, each with one or more important
harbOrs on its lake shore, are wholly
without naval or coast defence, and the
naval militia of New York and Penn
sylvania is located on the sea coast,
leaving the lake towns and lake marine
unprotected. Illinois and Michigan
maintain 4 naval militia numbering So;
but these are inadequate TO the defense
ofthe TWO states.
Britain has beenactive while we have
been slumbering. While observing the
letter of the treaty Of 1917, which abro-
gates the right of America or Britain to
keep var vessel on the lakes, our only
rival has encouraged the Dominion of

Milwau kee Sentinel and the TINES, &

-Sheboygander: 1t is intimated that
one of the Grand Army posts up at
Lake Superior says it has not invited
the encampments of Minnesota and
Wisconsin to meet at Superior and Du-
luth in 1897. Well, what OF that? Must
twelve thousand men in Wisconsin and
ten thousand men in Minnesota wait
for an invitation before they can IN

particularly if the delightful summer
outing Is at their own expenses and for
their own pleasure and profit? OF
course 1t might seem pieasanter if that

but whether they are anxious or not

Are We Worse Than Heathens?

Not long since, several missionaries
were killed in China and some mission
property was destroyed by fanatics. A
revenge commission was formed of mis-
sionaries, cOnsuls and naval officers.
They proudly report that, compelled
by fear of United States men-of- war,
the authorities have beheaded ninety
seven Chinese suspects. Is this a
proper way to spread the Gospel in
China? Christ himself declared that he
came not with the sword, and that for a
blow on one cheek, the Christian must
turn the other cha5tisement. There is
not particle of doubt, that popular
respect for Chinese missionary work
has been utterly destroyed, and that
from the date of the baheading, contri-
buttons to cause that has resulted so
disastrously to human life, will grow
less and less. Let the missionaries be
recalled. Their usefulness in China is
ended. Not one American has ever
been executed to compensate the
Chinese for the terrible massacres
which have taken place in this country.
For the lives of Cinnamon, this country
sometimes pays cash, nothing more.
If the Chinaman is only fit to be mas
sacred in America and beheaded in
China there is no use for missionaries
in the Orient. Let them be recalled.
The Red Cross people have recently
requested 100000 for starving
Armenians. There are many liberal
people who have responded to the call,
and others will doubtless do likewise
This is nobler cause than the MISSION
AIRY work has proved to be in China.
But what Of the starving thousands III
the United States? What of the
pinched and starving masses on the
great East side of this city? What
about the starving masses in Dakota,
Nebraska and Kansas? Are we to look
oyer their heads to distant Armenia?
Have we no imperative duty at home
to perform? Right in the city of New
York to-day, thirty per cent. of the
people never heard of Jesus Christ
Are We worse than heathens? Are
our starving and unsaved less impor-
tant than Cinnamon and Armenians?
