self alive TO the virtual impossibility Of
defying the Monroe Doctrine and OF
acquiring an outlet for Germany's sur
plus population in Latin America, 90
long as Great Britain's friendship shall
assure 20 the United States the coopera-
ton of the British feet. For that rea-
son, he earnestly advocates an alliance
between Great Britain and Germany
Such a coalition, he contends. would DO
of the utmost value to the former Power
because, her rear being covered py
Germany against Russian and French
attacks, she would be left at liberty 10
develop an overwhelming commercial
superiority over the United SLAVES
Germany, on her part, would thenceior-
ward have no need TO fear the French
Russian alliance. because, having Great
Britain on her side, she would be sure OF
Italy's support, while Austria, IN her
own interest, would range herself In the
same combination.
1t is unquestionably true that Great
Britain and Germany combined could
at the present time defy the Monroe
Doctrine, and conquer parts OF South
America. Nor would Germany have
anything to lose. The whole cost OF the
coalition would be borne by Great Brit
ain. But not only would that Power lose
Canada, but she would quickly be starved
to death. Germany, which can scarcely
feed herself could not rescue her ely
from famine.

ITHACA. N. Y. March e.-Plans for the
psnsionins Of OorneIs professors who. In
accordance with q rule recently adopted
by the Board Of Trustees Of Cornell Uni
versity, will retire upon reaching the age OF
10 year,, were announced to-day. The
COMMITTEES which has had the matter In
charge consists Of the Hon. Samuel B.
Halliday, George R. Williams and the
president Of Cornell University.
1t has been decided TO place the $4,000
which was recently given to the university
for this purpose at compound interest at
per cont. until the year 1914, when the
amount will be increased to S2so,0o0 The
income from this sum viii then DO devoted
TO the pension fund. Professors who ex-
poet TO receive the advantages Of the SIS
tenn will be expected 70 contribute Q certain
amount annually TO the fund.
The plan provides that Q retiring pro-
feasor shall receive 81 500 annually, and
that professors who retire prior to 1914
shall be pensioned.
Among the Cornell professors who win
retire next June on account Of the 70-year
age limit are: Francis Miles Finch, dean OF
the college OF law; ]. p. Roberts, dean OF
the colle-a Of Agriculture: Hiram Corson,
head Of the department OF English lItera-
ture, and Charles Mellen Ty ler, professor
Of religion. These professors do not come
under the general scheme, but are pro-
vided for by special arrangement.

Our stars and Our ships.

Vermont, Kansas. Minnesota, Missis-
sippi and Idaho are to be the names Of the
Ave battleships provided for by the last
Congress. This makes thirty States
represented in the naval rush line.
counting in the stoutly armored and
powerfully armed cruisers Maryland,
California. Colorado, Pennsylvania, West
Virginia and South Dakota. Looking at
the stars in the flag, we see that there
are inches for fifteen more ships.
One Of the most theoretically debated
questions in the matter Of battleships
since the Spanish war has been that of
the double turret. The Kentucky and
Kearsarge, the initial experiments in
this device, were followed by two sue
cessive groups Of three without it; first
the Alabama, Illinois and Wisconsin,
and then the Maine, Missouri and Ohio.
In these ak not only the double turret
disappeared, but with it the s-inch gun.
In the next five, the Georgia, Nebraska,
New Jersey, Rhode Island and Virginia,
the double turret reappeared, and by
means Of an additional turret on either
beam the eight s-inch guns Of the In
diana were restored. In the next class.
the Connecticut and Louisiana, OF 10000
tons, the double turret was discarded a
second time. Four s-inch turrets were
located as In the Iowa, and the 6-inch
guns were replaced by finch.
The new lo,0oO-tonners can scarcely
be planned without a fight over the
double turret again. The revival OF the
issue may find each party to it as strong
In its convictions and its influence as
ever. Possibly the lateJ experience Of
the Kentucky and Kearsarge may have
afforded new data for argument, for or
against. We suggest, however, TO the
opponents Of the double turret, II they
be finally in control, that no settlement
DO made without an exhaustive consid-
GRAFTON OF the question whether lighter
gun than the present s-inch may not per-
init an upper turret TO be moved indie
pendently Of In bee. thus abolishing the
strongsst objection TO its uss. That in
comparable position should not be- per-
mitted to liz waste u II can be helped.

The Burdick Murder.

Once more the manufacturers Of de-
tective fiction are confronted with evil
dence Of the shortcomings Of their own
imaginative faculties. The known facts
OF the Burdick murder case in Buffalo
are such as TO make the average common
place citizen rub his eyes and wonder
whether after all he knows anything
Of the present manners and customs OF
civilized society.
Mr.. BURDICK was killed during the
night In the study Of his home on
moderately fashionable residence street.
When found, he was dressed only in his
underwear, and there was apparent evil
dence that he had entertained guest
with light refreshments in the study;
that tho remnants OF food found in the
room were not brought there for his own
consumption is made clear by the fact
that they were Of sort which he did not
eat. He was apparently struck down
by q golf stick taken from the wall OF the
room; the assassin therefore paid strict
heed TO the rule of De QUINCEY that the
adept In the fine art Of murder uses .
weapon found on the spot to be discarded
on the spot. There is also evidence that
the murderer rearranged what things in
the room had been disturbed. and turned
out the gas before leaving.
For motives which would have led
various persons to desire the death Of
BuRDIcK there has been no lack Of rumor
Indeed. they are confusing in their
multiplicity. His relations with women,
astounding in their indiscriminate free
dom; the alleged relations Of his wife
with mon; these supply material for any
one Of a dozen hypothesis under which
some man or woman might desire to sec
BURpIcK killed. The daily dispatches
have enumerated a handful of them.
They have suggested that the murderer
might have been q relative Of Mrs. BUR-
DICK who wanted to stop the revela-
tons expected OF her in the pending
divorce trial; that the murderer might
have at heart the peace and comfort Of
some other family which the trial would
have destroyed; that the murderer
might be ono who came upon BURDIcK
and one Of his numerous women &C
quaintances in their guilt; that the muir
derer might be one Of these acquaint-
ances, who was jealous Of one or more
OF the others. And so on toward moral
nausea.
But out Of the whole incident stands
one development prominently. That
there has existed among some OF the men
and women of Buffalo who 60 TO churches
and speak Of their activities as events
in Buffalo society a disregard Of the
social conventions that simply appals.
