The Balkans Aflame.
The Macedonian Revolt Begins in
Spite of the Powers.

The scattering reports of engage
mcntS between Macedonian bands of
insurgents and Turkish troops Justify
the conclusion that the anticipated re
volt In the Balkans has already be-
gun.
It was forcscen that the mild pro
gram of reform presented to the Sui
tan by the powers would not suffice
TO aiiay the unrest. IF it had amount
ed 10 anything Germany would not
have joined I'm it. If it had embodied
real reforms Turkey would not have
accepted it. Its ineiHcicucy was thus
doubly atteSted from the outset.
Hopeless of relief from this source.
tho leaders of the distressed popula-
tions have begun their revolt a month
earlier than they had planned. Russia
has warned them not to expect help.
From Vienna It is declared that Tur-
Nley viii enjoy "a free hand in deal

oht VINO recalls the Armenian maSSa-
cres need doubt.
But there Is this difference. With
the exception of one bloody scene in
Constautinople, the Armenian tragedy
was enacted in Asia. Macedonia Is in
Europe. The Bulgarians are kins-
folk So ore the Servians. There are
Slavs and Greeks among the mixed
peoples of the disturbed vilayets.
A fire which burns in the Balkans
cannot be stamped ont like one at Van

and to touch off one powder magazine

prudent statesmen who have supposed

Bigger BattleshipS.
They Are Wisely Preferred by Congress
to Smaller Ones.

1t Is well for the navy that the
House carried its point against the
Senate.
The Senate bill provided for four
battleships of 10000 tons each. Of the
Kearsarge type, and one armored
cruiser Of 1880 tons. The House
bill carried provisions for three bat
tleships of 10000 tons and one ar
mored cruiser. The bill as passed
provides for three battleships Of
10000 tons, and two battlcships of
$4,000 tons, and eliminates the pro-
vision for cruiser.
In other words. Congress adopted
the House program, except that it inn
proved It by substituting two $4,000
ton batt!eships for one cruiser.
This action is i'm line with the adj
vice Of the best naval experts. Every
member of the naval board ON con
struction was opposed to the light
weight battleships provided for in the
Senate bill. Admiral Bradford ties
titled that vessels built according 10
the Senate provisions would be de
ticient in speed, in coal carrying ca
paelty, III amor, and in battery, and
would be IN all respects sccond-cIass.
Chief Constructor Bowles declared
that from constructors point of
view IT would be impossible to com
ply with the requirements Of the,Sen-
ate bill. and that the result produced
would be neither a battleship nor a
cruiser; ii would nave neither the
speed Of the latter nor the efficiency
OF the former.
The fact is that progress is being
continually made in naval constIuc-
ton. and that the tendency in modern
navies Is toward bigger and bigger
ships. All the great naval powers
have abandoned the lighter ships.

bitter Of Democratic policies.
His leadership was uudi~puted.

It rested not alone on tried capacity

re-entry made easy and practicable
the latters immediate resumption of
the title and honors he had been

That Mr.. German was once more
chosen unanimously to lead his party
IN the Senate is sufficient evidence of
the confidence both older and newer
colleagues have In the value Of his
training and the solidity of his iudg-
