The National Defense

As the days go by and the blue squadron
under Commander Pilsbury fails to effect
Q landing on the shores of New England,
the confidence OF the hackers of the de-
Tending vessels rises The great naval war
game has thus far produced only negative
results. hut that fact does not warrant the
absolute belief that the offensive force will
maneuvers is AT high point. for the cam
palgn has been planned 10 represent, as
far as peace conditions permit, the actual
menace to the coast in case OF a war with
foreign naval power
OF course the area is limited and the de-
Tending squadron has rather the better of
the game. in that II is warned in advance
OF the region to be asSailed. But this cir
cumstance is modified by the presumption
that in time Of war an enemy would not
seek to efec: mere landing at an insig-
nificant port but would attempt to cater
one OF the most important harbors on the
seaooard. in order, first, TO obtain a suit
able naval base, next TO cripple the COM
merce OF the United States, and finally to
wrest a heavy indemnity from the mem
aced city. This program would narrow the
range of probable action to a compara-
lively few ports, such as Boston, New York.
Philadelphia. Baltimore, Norfolk Charles

spread of these places would necessitate

The Hiatus in Local Government.

The situation now existing at the District
government Offices lends convincing force
to the Commissioners recommendation to
Congress contained in their last annual re-
port that a new office be created, styled
the Secretary Of the District OF Columbia,
the incumbent Of which shall be empowered
to act as Commissioner during a vacancy
in one OF the civilian cOmmissiOnerships
The death Of Mr.. Ross precipitated an
emergency calling for an appointment The
President has naturally taken time to con-
slider the case and to scrutinize the long
list of capable candidates whose names
have been presented to him by the citizens
of the District His delay in making a Sc
lection has been justified by the Importance
Of the office and the multiplicity of COM
manding qualities called TO his attention
Haste in filing the vacancy might have led
to regrettable conditions in later months
and from the point Of view of the Prest-
dents responsibilities In the premises there
is no ground for the Districts feeling ag-
grieved at the delay. But that delay has
led to a hiatus in the administration of To-
cal affairs, notably in the matter of the
award of important contracts for construc
tion due to the misfortune of the late Com
missioner's death at the very opening of
iUt new llSCdl year.
Were the law SO framed that Commits
sioner pro tenn could legally sign contracts
there would never be such n break in the
municipal government. This emergency is
amply provided for in the case of the En-
gineer Commissioner, one of whose two as
sistants may be designated to act during
his absence or during a lapse in the incum-
beucy of the Office. But there is no such
provision to supply the place temporarily
of a civilian Commissioner. If Congress
office, carrying an adequate salary, the diff
fculty could still be avoided by empower
ing the remaining Comissioners to act as q
full board whenever vacancy on the civil
ian side Of the board exists.

teEtion of Congress next winter and the
practical results Of its failure to provide
for the emergency noted in a manner to
lead surely and speedily 10 some enactment
which will forever prevent a recurrence of
the deplOrabIe state Of affairs. Contracts
should not be held in allegiance which,
when signed. will EOt only permit the for
warding Of necessary public enterprises,
but give employ during the working
season to hundreds Of men. The loss to the
community due to this break in the Dis
trict;s business is undoubtedly heavy. and
an argument Of impelling force can easily
be wrought ont Cf the existing situation.

give warning of the probable object of at
tack and permit sufficient concentration
of the feet to present defensive naval
force corresponding in a measure with that
which now opposes Pfllsbury's vessels.
Thus, the New England coast may be un-
derstood representing, for the purposes
of the war game. the entire Atlantic sea-
board under conditions of actual warfare.
Furthermore, the land defenses which
now guard the entrances to the harbors
most likely to be chosen by an enemy for
assault are not reproduced in the game
now in progress, and in time of real war
these would presumably play most impor-
tant part in preventing a landing. 1t Is
generally regarded as unlikely that a for
eign foe, with the possible exception of
England would seek to land armies in the
United States, so supreme are the difficult
ties in the way of maintaining a great land
campaign in this country with its vast re-
sources for the quick formation and mob
ilization of a vast defensive army. Thus
the mere possession of landing place
such as the blue squadron is now seeking
to effect would not prove such a menace
to the country's welfare as though war
were today conducted on the old system.
The experiences of England with her vast
expectations of men to South Africa can
not be regarded as indicative of future
proba abilities with the United States the OBJ
ject of foreign attack. There is no COM
parison between the Beers and the Ameri-
cans in point of resisting qualities. The
war of the future between powers separated
by the sea will probably be waged chiefly
on a naval basis, as far as the first great
strokes of the struggle are concerned. This
does not mean that armies will be unnnces-
sary. They will play their great part in
contentious between land-joined powers, in
campaigns between sea-separated powers
continued over long periods and in the pac-
flying process following the first great
naval operations. But the day for enor-
nous flotillas conveying heavily laden
transports in the first stages of a war be-
tween nations of the first class and seeking
landing places from which to conduct great
offensive campaigns has gone by.

From the Kansas City Star.
The recent police order that idlers and
genteel-appearing loafers must give a sat
isfactory explanation of their lack Of oc-
cupation or leave the city will be approved
doubtless, by every one except the vag-
rants. ld1ers have no place in Kansas
City. There Is work of an honorable sort
for every able-bodied man who will engage
in it. The order is especially commendable
in that it is aimed against that class of
pearance with no visible source of supply.
Men who hang about the better class of sa-
looms and at street corners and wear dia-
monds or rhinestone ornaments and good
clothes are more demoralizing influence
in a community than the more unfortunate
victims Of levee dives. They toll not.
neither do they spin: but there the resem-
blance to the lilies of the field ceases. They
are noxious plants, weeds that should be
