pnWnR nF MECHANICs-

The Review OF Reviews deals with
the war between the United States and
Spain in a most business-like and
matter-of-fact manner. It holds that
war Of to-day is merely a matter OF
machinery and that the most highly
developed mechanical nation is the
most formidable in war. 1t says;
It is the prevailing opinion nova
days, 1t is true, that nothing is to be
relied upon In naval war but huge bat
tleships, which take from two to three
OF four years to build. But il a great
war were forced upon as suddenly II
is altogether probable that American
ingenuity would devise something
wholly new in the way OF a marine en-
gine.pf war. just as American ingenu-
ity improvised the first modern iron-
clads. We have already in our navy
"A dynamite cruiser, the Vesuvius, which
In actual warfare might prove more
dangerous than a half dozen Of the
greatest battleships OF the European
navies. There has just been com
pleted moreover, and offered to our
government, a submarine boat, the
HOLLAND, which seems to be capable OF
moving rapidly for several miles SO
completely submerged as TO offer no
target for an enemy, and it may well
be that the torpedoes discharged from
an insignificant little vessel capable OF
swimming below the surface like a
fish might prove as fatal 10 the battle
ships OF an enemy as the alleged mine
IN the harbOr Of Havana was fatal to
our battleship, the Maine. Nowadays
warfare Is largely a matter of science
and invention, and, since country
where the arts Of peace flourish ard
prosper is most favorable TO the gon-
eral advance OF science and invention.
we stumble upon the paradox that the
successful pursuit Of peace is, after all
the best preparation for war. Another
way TO put 10 Is TO say that modfrn
warfare has become a matter OF ma
chinery, and that the most highly de
veloped mechanical and industrial ma
tion will, by virtue Of such develop
ment, be most formidable in war.
This is a situation that the Spaniard.
in general are evidently quite unable
TO comprehend. Their ideas are alto
gether modiaeval They believe them
selves to be a highly chivalrous anS
militant people, and that the people o
the United States are really in grea
terror OF Spanish prOwess They thinl
that Spain could make as easy wOrl
OF invading the United States as ia
pan made OF invading China. Thei
point OF view is altogether theatre
cal and unrelated to modern facts.

Mss WILLARD's DErERMINATIoN

When Frances Willard reached her
18th birthday, she celebrated her ma
jority by beginning Scott's "IvanhOe," 3"
a book which her father had forbidden,
as he disapproyed CT novels. In answer
to his stern remCnstrance, she told
him that, up to that day, she had
obeyed him in the matter, but now" ="
she continued, 81 am IS. am of age.
| am now to do what l think is right,
and to read this fine historical story is,
in my opinion, a right thing for me to
do" Her father was taken aback, but
he saw the funny side OF the matter,
and remarking that she was "a chip off
the old block" made no further effort
to keep her from reading good stories.

THE CRY OF DIsLoYALTY

Senate Democrats are accused Of bring
the bills" What are the facts? This
house revenue bill was before the senate
finance committee for ten days, most OF
the time being occupied with the consid-
Grafton of Republican amendments. The
bill has been before the senate little
more than a week. Senate Democrats
are willing to vote upon it any day. Are
Republican senators as ready? 1t is safe
to say they are not, whatever their pre-
tensions. They dare not call the roll.
They welcome the delay. They hope for
some event helpful to them in talking
back into the bill the odious bond clause.
They need the time for organizing oppo-
sition to the four alternative propositions
Of the Democrats for raising the required
revenues-coinage Of the seigniorage, a
tax upon corporations and inheritances
and an issue of greenbacks-a compre-
hensive scheme for placing the burdens
Of the war upon accumulations rather
than upon consumption. Powerful in
f1uences are being invoked to compass
the defeat of a plan so distasteful to or
ganized greed. All of the power of the
administration will be employed in COM
passing the overthrow Of plan that ap-
peals only to the masses. The debate is
quietly progressing. The final outcome
will be as full of significance as the con-
test on the sea that we are momentarily
expecting.

NOT FORGOTTEN

The appeal in these columns yesterday
on behalf of the Los Angeles boys OF

that they are forgotten at home.
La Esperanza Parlor No. "a Of the

A very practical idea was put in motion
yesterday by a number Of stall holders

Houk, o. R. W. Robinson and waktol
Brothers all express their willingness tic
help to fill carload of fresh fruit and
vegetables to be sent to the Los Angeles
companies at the Preside. The situation
was canvassed yesterday and every stall
holder in the market expressed his desire
to contribute something. The difficulty
Of transportation alone remains, and the
Southern Pacific Railroad company will
surely be willing to do their share. Al
all events the cost of freight should b,
easily betrayed.
There are many Of US who, for various
reasons, cannot take as active part II
this little affair with Spain as we would
wish, but we all can contribute something
towards providing that our boys at thu

rAu1T-F1ND1Na NOT TREASON

When was first announced the purpose
Of the administration to send five thous-
and troops to the relief Of Admiral
Dewey, this journal, in common with
others Of Democratic faith, entered apro-
test, on the ground of the entire made
Quacy Of the force to meet the require
ments Of the situation in the Philippines
the policing Of eight millions of people,
the protection Of coast line ten hundred
miles in length, the garrisoning Of city
of more than two hundred thousand peo-
pie, occupied at the time by more than
twenty thousand seasoned Spanish troops,
and surrounded by twenty-seven thous-
ndrebels, whose friendship for the United
States was altogether contingent upon
promises which Dewey might make. but
which the government at Washington
might not be willing to carry out.
To see this called for no extraordinary
aeumen. 1t doubtless appealed with
equal forcefulness to Republican jour-
mails, only they have been reminded that
the test of loyalty is blind adhesion to
everything done by the administration,
unquestioning approval Of all White
House DEGREES.
But In course Of time disciplined and
experienced commander Of men sug-
gested to the administration that he did
not approve of its plans; that the sending
Of five thousand volunteers to the Phil
ippines would be an unnecessary sacri-
fee. He denies having said he would not
go at the head Of such a command, but
his protest was tantamount to that
Our criticism Of the presidents pro-
gram was treason. General Merritt's
protest was patriotism. He is to have
fifteen thousand men, one-third seasoned
soldiers. And at the hazard Of our status
in the Union, we still maintain that the
force is all too small, and that it will
soon have to be reinforced.
Public sentiment backed up by expert
testimony. is sometimes potent in chang
ing administration plans. The press
should be untrammeled. Its advice
should be accepted or rejected. as it may
appeal to the reason.
The herald., 1898-05-20

corps have even heard there was an or.
ganization Of the Red Cross society. But
what I would urgently suggest Is a grand
organization from this city and Southern
California. There need be no fear Of doing
too much. We want something in which
all the people can partake, and feel q vital
interest. The boys up north have not heard
from us. When they are comfortable. then
we may begin to relax our efforts. But al
present the Seventh regiment Is in need.
We know well enough that what Is tho
business of all Is the business Of none.
However. this Is not time for one to shift
the duty on another. For each Of US. It ID
our individual business.
AS to the funds which may be forwarded
the chaplain of the Seventh regiment. who
is already the representative of the Oaks
land society, is ready to see to their wise
expenditure and furnish any vouchers de>
sired.
The single fact Of our volunteers lacking
things which can be supplied will brind
forth a greater result than anything I can
say. PAUL G. CLARK,
