PARIS DEPRECATEs VIEW.
French Comment Upon Alarm Over
Japanese-AmericanS Situation.

PARIS. July 9.-The French government
greatly deprecates the alarmist view of the
REPRESENTATION situation taken by a
section Of the Paris press. and an inspired
statement. based presumably on the for
eign Offices advices, placing the most opti-
mistic construction upon the plans to dis
patch the American battleship fleet to the
Pacific. was given out this afternoon, as
follows:
Much surprise is manifested In dplo-
matte circles over the excitement caused
by the plan to send the American battle
ship fleet to Pacific waters. Instead of the
step causing alarm there is reason to be-
lieve that the decision Of the American
government implies that the negotiations
proceeding between the Washington and
Toxic cabinets are making favorable
progress.

would not order this naval movement
II it were likely to embarrass the negotia-
lions which have been going on for some

Captain Hobson's War Talk.

This country seems indisposed to put a
serious appraisenent on Captain Richmond
Pearson Hobson's war talk. 1t has the
sound Of f.itering through his hat. All Of
us expect him to cool OF and change his
key. And when he does all will be for
given.
Captain Hobsou as a politician Is young
very young. He has not had time as yet to
take his bearings. The hubbub confuses
him. He hears everybody talking-some
folk in q high key-and he does as the
others do. When a little more experienced
at the game, he will know how to regulate
his voice. Then he will understand the
value Of moderating his tone and the true
meaning Of uitimatums. When the older
heads in Congress show him how big appro-
priations for the navy may be obtained
without declaring war-by word Of mouth
against a friendly power he will change his
tactics and worship less at the shrine of the
tongue.
Nor should we forget that the young Ala
bama statesman came into the game Of poll
tics-butted In. to be precise-at q time
when the taller his talk the better the pub
lie liked 1t. That spoilt him. He was
fresh from an exploit that had carried his
name all over the world. The sun was
VII dfiu he Was IccllIi6 8VOu. 0V tudl
If the statesman of this day continues in
the strain Of the naval hero and lecturer OF
that day the error Is not absolutely past
forgiveness. He Is bound to tone down in
time.
Still another thing In his favor is that,
unlike some politicians, Captain Hobson is
not all talk He Is the stuff of which real
men are made. When the hour strikes for
action he Is there He did not close the
mouth of the harbor at Santiago, but he
took his life in his hands and tried. The
tribute inscribed on the cowboys grave
stone was we'll earned by the daring young
sailor. HE done his d-dest. Angels could
do no more" The whole American navy
was heartened, and the whole world ap-
plauded.
While regretting the mans unwise and
Incorporate volubility at day when every
body should be keeping his head and his
tongue, let US not forget that should war
come at any time with any power, Captain
Hobson would probably be one OF the first
to offer for active service, and would be
an influence for good on all the young men
of the country. He will get over his too
fiery speechmaking. His sand will remain
with him forever. And sand is the thing.

In the olden days a tower was regarded

was merely an adornment and a religious
accessory. Nowadays We nave gone to the

their heads when they contemplate this

er the line of safety has not been reached.
Others declare that 1t Is all a matter Of
precise computation and that given suf-
ficient foundations and good steel it is pos
sIbIe to continue the upward construction

to experience the collapse Of a modern
steel structure from causes not attributable
to gross carelessness in construction, but
fortunately We are not. In this longitude, in

Nationalize the Salon.

The federal government should lend
hand directly In the encouragement Of
American art by assisting in the Develop
ment OF Washington as an art center IL
has done much already indirectly In the
adoption of a liberal policy In the design
ing and decoration of public buildings In
this city, but the great step yet remains
to be taken in the specific recognition OF
the artists of this country by the estab-
lishment of a national salon in circun-
stances to enlist the competitive co-opera-

III the chief honor to be won at the exhi-
bition Just opened at the Corcoran Gallery

eminent of the United States, with or
without a cash accompaniment. this salon
would acquire the essential character OF a
national salon In truth, as 1t Is now In
name The winner of that medal would
gain a great prestige. Competition for 1t
would be brisk, and the character of the
exhibits would be decidedly raised, high
as it is at this display of paintings.
1t is entirely proper for the United States
thus to participate in movement which
makes for the intellectual advancement OF
the people. It encourages literature through
the maintenance of a great national library
and the enactment of copyright laws. II
encourages scientific research through the
workings of its technical bureaus and the
grant of patents. Thus far its assistance
to the artists of America has been con-
fined to occa sional commissions to paint
official portraits and to decorate interiors
at scandalously low prices-and the main
tenance against their desire of a tariff
handicapping the importation of foreign
works of art. This latter measure Of So
called protection of home industry has
been fully exposed as a blunder, and Con-
gress has been repeatedly besought by rep
resentative artists to abolish this tax. which
works no good to the native painters and
sculptors and establishes a false basis of
competition.
1t might startle some of the smaller COM
munities for Congress to provide a few
hundred dollars annually for cash prize
and a medal to be bestowed upon the ere
ator of the most meritorious canvas in a
national exhibition, but many things are
happening in these times to arouse rural
America to q realization that the life In
tellectual is as worthy of cultivation as
the life physical. Some parts of the coun-
try need to BE startled out of their cid
methods of thought and their fixed points
of view. II the United States Is to grow
to its full stature 1t must widen the popular
perspective. to include other items than
crop statistics. race questions, trust-bust-
ing and patronage.
