remedy which reaches the right

The navy needs more men. Some of
the ships are short and it is reported
that the battleships Indiana and
Massachusetts are to be laid up be-
cause the navy has not enough officers
and men to man all the new vessels.
AS one of the naval officers says, it is
no misfortune to have some good
battleshps to lay up in reserve, but
we should be able to report n cores
bonding supply of officers and men for
them. Our navy must expand in men
as we'll as in ships. 1t is probable
that a new system calling for more
students at both Annapolis and West
Point will soon be adopted so that
there may be no lack Of trained Off
GERS. Men in abundance can be Sc
cured in a hurry, both for army and

That Bill Against the Sultan.

1t is to be hoped that the little diff
Guilty with Turkey may be amicably
arranged, and that there Will be no
necessity of sending home the TURKISH
minister and of forwarding warship
to Turkish waters. Some European
countries might be somewhat dis
pleased by show of force on our part
but we do not believe they would
make any serious objection TO our
collection of a debt acknowledged to
be due. Anyway, whether turkey
navs naacefully or otherwise, it is evil
dent that this government cannot
abandon those claims whose full JUS
tice the Sultan himself has admitted.
1t was on his suggestion that the in
demnity of 500, 900 for the destruction
of the American missionary college
buildings was agreed to, and he gave
his absolute promise that the money
should be paid. This estops him from
reverting to his original excuses and
anu % thV ioodI III" Pr
sents itself we must either assert the
power of the nation to enforce its
claim or expect that henceforth no
American will be safe in Turkey.
Aside from the question of national
dignity that is so plainly involved this
other question of personal security is
of very pressing Importance. If the
Sultan believes that we will go no
further than the limit of a futile
diplomacy he will despise both the
government and its citizens. So much
is certain from what we know of
Turkish history and Turkish charac-
ter. Title to respect throughout the
porte's dominions is derived solely
from the governments fears and is
held only by conduct that denotes
energy, decision and will. The mo-
ment there is any relaxation old
abuses rcappear and there is a new
chapter of outrages upon foreigners
and native Christians.
