TIME TO Do SOMETHING
Army and Navy journal Urges De-
cisive Action at Once.

New York, April 3.-The Army and Navy
Journal in its last issue says:
The Spanish situation is apparently
growing more warlike each hour. Wbeth-
er we are TO have war or not depends ap-
parently upon the question whether the
Spaniards can be convinced that we have
taken stand from which we will not de-
part. We would call attention to our ex-
perience during the Virginius affair.
The situation is as critical as IL can
well be, and congress, whi.h has to deal
with it, is showing its incapdcity by talk
ing and resolving when it should be act
ing.
The speakers table is being piled high
with resolutions, but bills providing for
the public defense wait.
Every bill that in any way increases TIE
strength of the army and navy or adds to
our ability for war should be passed with
out moments delay and without debate.
Especially should the bill providing for
a liberalization organization for the in
fantry be passed. and in sucn sorm as to
give three full majors 70 each regiment.
We fear that the support of this bin al
headquarters is not so earnest and hearty
IS it should be. This is no time for urging
individual opinions or considering per
sonal interests. We have the concurrent
opinion Of all the great soldiers OF the
world, including those Of our own coun-
try. that the three-battalion organization
is the proper one; we have it already in
the cavalry and artillery and should have
It for the infantry, and have it without
delay.
The most dangerous dalusion that pos
sesses the American people and the Amer
lean congress is the idea that unorgantzed
patriotism and undisciplIned enthusiasm
can be made effective IN war. We fear
that the organization % what e known as
The National Volunteer Reserve" will
only add TO this delusion and that its ef-
feet will be 70 draw from the support our
regular forces should receive az this

She is the patron saint of the submarine
torpedo boat, and when that boat has
been adopted and revolutionizes the ma
vies of the world, it will not be forgotten
that to a womans faith and generosity
something of that success was due.
Mrs. Lawrence is a popular young ma
tron Of society. Her husband is a lawyer,
one of the Lawrences of Long Island. She
was Miss Lee Gwynn, and is a daughter
OF the late Nicholas Gwyna, from whom
she inherited a large fortune. She lives
in New York.
Mrs. Lawrence has been several times
in Cuba this winter. She has seen the

patriotic zeal whenever the question of
American intervention is discussed. When
Mr.. Holland was seeking about for some
enc to back him in his experiments with
the submarine wonder that has been div
ing in the Kill-von-Kull recently. he ran
across Mrs. Lawrence. Here was her OPP
rortunity to help her country. She saw
tie Holland beat, if Il could 90 made a
success, would furnish a neg arm 20 the
naval service more terrible than the mont
TOR.
She bought stock in the cpmpany--lots of
it-and talked &c UP so elOquent'v that
number of her friends also ;:ivested in the
company. Mrs. Lawrence is the heaviest
oCkholder.
But her interest did not end there. She
paid frequent visits to Perth Amboy.

has ever been allowed on board.
Mrs. Lawrence is not new woman"
but she is a shining example of the end
of-the-century woman, who delights in
healthful sports and athletic doings She
is a member of the Knickerbocke. Bowl
ing club, and has a housef1l Of trophies
won in the Saturday meets at the Berke-
ley Lyceum. She is also a member Of the
Budminton club and the Knlckerbocker
Riding club.
She was formerly a member of the Mich
aux club. but withdrew. with number of
other women. and established a private
course in large hall on the East side.
With all these things she still had time to
attend to her duties toward society.
Whenever her husband has a big case
on hand Mrs. Lawrence studies it with
him and makes suggestions which are
aften very valuable.
Mrs. Lawrence is blond. Her eyes are
Of grayish blue. and her complexion white
and clear. She is sprign:ly talker. Her
friends all say that she is o good bust
ness woman, and that when she went into
the Holland enterprise it was presage

....A
Spectacle

is used to supplement the failing power 70
increase the convexity of the lens, and il
is important that a proper lens should be
selected. A common mistake of opticians
is TO commence with too strong a lens
People are apt to be pleased with such
spectacles because by magnifying small
print they make II unnaturally clear. 1t
Is by no means necessarily the case,
though, that the lens that may seem most
pleasant on first trial is the one that will
give the most comfort in long evening $
work The object of spectacles is not to
magnify; this is merely an incidental eff

Vergent light. Only so much assistance a.
is really needed should be given and any
thing more than this is injurious. There
is such wide range of individual differ
ences in the condition of the eyes, in ner-
vous force, occupations, etc, that the at
tempt sometimes made to adopt spectacIes
arbitrarily, according to the age, is alb
surdly irrational. The same care should
be exercised in increasing the power of
the eye as age advances; it should be done
with reference, not to any stated intervals,
but 20 the progressive failure of accom-
mediation.

admitting that he liked to have pleasant

fessed is quite as true of others who are
