CRITICISING THE NAVY DEPART
MENT.

BY his criticisms on the United
States navy in McClure's Magazine,
Henry Reuterdahl has created a sur.
prjsing commotion in the navy depart
ment at Washington.
These criticisms did not originate
with Mr.. ReuterdahI This is not the
first time it has been said that when
our battle ships are loaded their main
armor belt is under water or that the
position of the guns is so low that they
cannot be fired in rough weather. Re-
cert accidents have caused much COM
ment on the open shafts from the tur-
refs to the magazines. The lack of tor
pedoas and the absence Of torpedo
tubes on some of the new ships is mol
men must trust to expert counsel.
The fact remains that in naval con-
struction the department constantly
disregards foreign designs and meth
DDS It's policy is very conservative.
The slowness of our ship-yards in
building IS a serious drawback.
The navy department shows little en-
thusiasm for submarines. Naturally,
congress has not made large appro-
priations for them. In speed our tor
pado- boat destroyers compare unfav-
vies Few converts seem to have been
made here for the turbine by its sue
cessful adoption abroad,
No doubt the direction of the navy
department by a civilian secretary of
the lazy, over seven navy officers a"
bureau chiefs, all subject to civilian
commander in chief, produces conf,.-
sion and CONFLICT of authority. 1t re-
suited this week in the sudden resig-
nation of Admiral Brownson, whose
experience and ability no one doubts.
This is a question of administration
for congress to consider. It is not UNI
pardonable or unpatriotic for a student
of naval affairs like Mr.. Reuterdahl to
suggest it.
Nothing is revealed in his article
that foreign governments have not
long known. 1t is equally certain that
the United States government is no
less we'll informed as to what they
are doing. If a magazine critic merely
shocks the lf-eomplacency of few
department. officials he will have done
no great harm.

Sinks.

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 31.-Almost
ur parallelled misfortunes have been
heaped in the short space of one week
upon William Adler, one of New Or
leans foremost bankers and leading
wholesale grocer of the south. The ar
rival of news yesterday that Adler is
a shipwrecked refugee at Belize, Brit
ish Honduras, added another chapter
to record already long.
One week ago last night Adler's ras-
tional bank shook New Orleans finan-
cial circles. Since then the bank has
announced that it must go out of
business; Adler's wholesale grocery
firm, one of the largest in the south.
has gone into the hands of receiver;
a load Of groceries consigned to Hon.
duras, which Adler's friends claimed
were one of his last hopes of recoup-
ing his fortune, has been lost by ship
wreck, and the steamship. Alps, carry
ing both the groceries and Alder and
owned by him, is a total loss by the
same wreck. By the merest slip of
chance the insurance policy on the
shipload of groceries was rendered
worthless by failure Of premium pay
ment. ..s-
Misfortune has also dealt blow at
one of Adlers closest friends, Moses
Schwartz, a prominent New Orleans
merchant, who was. with Adler on the
Alps. and whose foundry here went

steamship sailed.

Definite steps to form a Washington

in Seattle this week. While a perma-
nent organization may not be effected
at this time it is quite certain that a
date will be set when the principals or
representatives of the different high
schools shall meet to organize the as
ISOLATION.
Principal H. G. Collicott of the Ia
coma high school, who is interested in
the forma ton of such conference, has
secured copies of the constitution and
bylaws of the High Scshool Athletic
association in the states of Wisconsin
and Indiana, and will submit these to
the other high school principals who
attend the meeting at Seattle. 1t is
probable that the rules and regula-
tions of other states will be presented
for comparison by the other nigh
school principals who have been in
terested enough in the movement to get
them
The sentiment of the majority Of
high school principals. as far as can
be learned. is in favor of hesorganiza
ton of the conference. They take the
view that the time is ripe when high
school athletics in Washington should
be placed upon purely amateur basis.
The recent unpleasantness between the
Spokane and Butte schools in which
determinations flew back and forth so
school conference. Should any two
schools in this state get into dispute
as to the eligibility of a player there
would be no means Of settling it.
There has existed in Washington. a
uasi-conference, but it's scope was
limited and its rules. few as they were,
were not lived up to strictly.
The formation Of an association is
favored which shall demand that all
athletes who participate in interscho-
lastic games must be bona fide students
of the school they represent and must
be in residence in the school through
out the year Also they must attain
passing marks in their studies. The
greatest fault to be found at present
is that athletes who attend school only
during the football season may return:
year after year for only the fall term
and then quit until another season
comes around.
1t is fact that football players have
played on high school teams in the
northwest six. and in one case. even
sever. years. And yet these players
never graduated from the school.
An age limit will be placed upon the
players and a limit Of four years as
athletes, if the plans
are carried out. All the coaches in the
state seem to favor the plan, which
would embrace all the Washington
high schools.
