Navy Department Decides
to Send Only Our Newest
Warships to the Pacific
Fifty Fighting Vessels, Large and Small,
Will Be in Sight of San Francisco
by January First.
NAVAL REVIEW

Then, following the usual custom,
the fleet would move southwark to-
ward Guantanamo for drill operations
and target practice, but instead of
doing SC this fall they will go on the
cruise to the Pacific. The proposition
to send the fleet to the Pacific at an
early date, that IS, This summer, has
not been considered and will not be
considered unless there is danger of
IN immediate outbreak of hostilities
on the part of Japan, which officers
do not believe is at all likely.
Much greater difficulty would be
experienced in getting the big ships
around to the Pacific now than five
or six months later. The South At
lantic is now in midwinter, the wealth.
Ell is ~unfavorable and much danger
might be encountered. Besides that,
it is argued, there is no pressing need
for their presence there at this time.
Whatever good effect may be had by
sending the ships there, it is contend
ed, will be produced by the announce
ment of the decision that they are to
go later.
OF course, if there should be an
outbreak on the part of Japan the
plan to delay the sending of the ships
until next winter would be changed
Immediately. The impression, how
ever, which officers seek to convey is
that the feet is not to be sem to the
Pacific as a menace to Japan or be-
| cause there is any danger of war,
which is secuted, but rather to dem
onstrate our ability to make a dash
| around the Horn in the event of an
emergency. Whether or not the ships
will be brought back to the Atlantic
is a matter for determination after
further developments. Next Deem
Der will be midsummer in the South
Atlantic and conditions will then be
favorable for the long cruise.
In some naval quarters the opinion
is held still that the battleship fleet
will W. go to the Pacific, and the
impression is given that the PROPOSE
ton is largely bluff for the purpose
of showing Japan what we would do
in case it became necessary to have a
large fleet in Pacific waters.
These same officers believe that 1t
would be a dangerous thing to leave
the Atlantic coast unprotected, as it
would be in the event of the with
drawal of the entire battleship fleet.
At the same time they point out that
the transfer of the fleet to the Pacific
and the abandonment of the Atlantic
Ecoast would be an argument for a
large increase in the navy and the
building of a corresponding battle
ship fleet for the Atlantic, in order
that the country might be adequately
protected in both oceans,

Suicide Statistics.

Suicides in the United Kingdom
have increased by 200 per cent. in
fifty years, and by $50 per cent. in
twenty-five years. In 1904, the last
year for which official figures are
available, 1923 men and 1922 women
took their own lives in England and
Wales alone, while the total in the
metropolitan police district was $50.
AT least an equal number of persons
were prevented from accomplishing
their intention. How rapid has been
the increase during recent years may
ba seen from the fact that suicides In
England and Wales have increased
from ATS women and 1929 men in
1886 to S22 women and 1928 men in
1904. There have been more than
$4,000 suicides In England and Wales
in twenty years.
Bad as is the case of England, in
other countries the evil is even worse.
According to statistics recently pub
lished by the Swiss Government,
there have committed suicide during
the last thirty-five years 16, 6 per-
sons in Switzerland, $4,000 persons
in Germany and 274,O00 persons in
France.
German official figures put the
number of suicides in Europe yearly
at 10000. Cases in the German en-
pire itself have risen from 1850 in
1895 to 1870 in 1905. In America
the number is about 5000 annually,
and is increasing.-Social Gazette.

Washington, D. C.-Two important
decisions have been reached by the
Navy Department concerning the an
nounced program for the dispatch of
the Atlantic fleet to the Paciic-first,
only the newest and most modern
ships will be sent, and, secondly, the
average of captains of the ships will
be reduced from three to five years.
In addition it is planned to send
along a 1otilla of torpedo boat de-
stroyers.
1t is figured here that, without the
ships now on the Asiatic station,
there will be thirty-two warships in
sight of San Francisco by January l..
This number will include the torpedo
boat ~destroyers.
1t also is proposed to bring over
the Asiatic forces. Those which are
considered real fighting craft are the
four armored cruisers, West Vir-
ginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and
Colorado, and the monitors Monterey
and Monadnock. These, added, will
give a total of thirty-eight. 1t also is
probable that when the plans for the
greatest of all navy reviews are per-
fected eve the smaller cruisers and
the gunboats will come over from
Asia, and the total force will amount
to fifty fighting vessels, great and
small.
Announcement was made at the
Navy Department that the proposed
voyage of the ~battleship fleet to the
Pacific would in no way interfere with
the plan already arranged for the
summer maneuvres of the Atlantic
fleet. The decision has been made
that Rear-Admiral Evans, command
ing the fleet, shall assemble his YES
sells for midsummer operations at
some point on the New England coast
on August rs. The place has not yet
been determined, as there is no great
haste in the matter.
In the meantime the ships which
may need repairs will be locked and
put in condition. Repairs are being
rushed on the Connecticut, which is
Admiral Evans flagship, but this is
being done so that other ships may
be sent to the Brooklyn yard for spe-
cial work upon them as may be neces-
sary and for the further reason that
the ship has not completed her for
NAL trials.
The plan of docking the vessels for
repairs was mapped out months ago
and is now being carried out without
regard to the intended movement of
the fleet to the Pacific. These repairs
would have been made had there
been no decision reached for the
movement to the Pacific.
The New England maneuvres will
be completed some time in October.

ern American battleships Japan has
only ten. Against our eight first
class and five second-class armored
cruisers Japan has nine. Against
our nineteen protected cruisers Japan
has seventeen.
In effective fighting force the
American superiority is vastly pre-
ponderant. This fact is known to
every japanese statesman and to
every intelligent japanese citizen.
Yet American jingoes are asking us
to believe that Japan, in some fashion
or another, is secretly menacing the
peace of the United States.
The plain and obvious truth is that
Japan is exhausted financially, that
her population is struggling under
burdens imposed by the war with
Russia, and that her resources are so
far inferior to those of the United
States that no responsible Japanese
statesman would think of wal except
as a last resort.

A SMALL SECRET

Two men were discussing the
various food products now being sup

One, a grocer, said Il frequently

For instance, l thought 1 would

reason there was for such a call for
it. At breakfast l didn't like it and
supper proved the same, so l natur-
ally concluded that my taste was diff

and Brick Men and Bridge Agents.
Toledo, Ohio. - Some of Toledo's
wealthiest citizens, and the most
prominent socially, were sentenced to
the workhouse for six months for be-
ing members of helumber and bridge
trusts and conducting their business
enterprises in restraint of trade and
competition. All had pleaded guilty.
Twenty-one members Of the Lum-
Der Dealers Credit Association, nine
members. of the Brick Dealers Asso-
citation and two bridge agents were
lined up before the bar to hear their
fate.
The sentence created more of a
sensation than that imposed a year
ago on the Ice Trust men In that
case the hired agents were punished.
The court has now landed the capital
lists themselves.
Judge Lindley w. Morris lectured
the defendants before imposing en-
tence, saying:
What does a nominal fine signify?
1t is wrong that you men of means,
with capital back of you, can so con-
troll prices that the poor are COM
PEELED to pay more than you have a
right to ask, and more than you
would have to pay yourself. 1t is
time the courts of Ohio impose such
punishment as the offense merits.
Zines are only m~akeshifts, and do
not bring prominent citizens to a pro-
per realization of their positions. At
ter full consideration I've determined
that the proper punishment is impris-
onment in the workhouse. The SEN
tence, therefore, on those who have
generally pleaded guilty will be that
they be confined in the workhouse."
The brick men pleaded guilty to ar
Indictment under a different section
of the Valentine Antitrust law and
the penalty could only be a fine, the
maximum being $1,000. The Judge
gave the maximum.
Marcus V. Barbour, of the lumber
firm of Barbour & Starr, counts his
fortune in excess of half a million
dollars. He is one of the men who
must go to jail. George L. Freeman,
of Kelsey & Freeman, lumber dealers,
is a local social lion. His partner,
Hiram Kelsey, Is equally prominent.

clan. Frederick e. Wilker, president

are we'll known bridgemen, the for
mer with the Canton Bridge Com
pany, his home being in this city.
Mr.. Cleveland's home is in Cleveland,
and he is president of the Cleveland
Bridge Company.
The sentences to the workhouse
were suspended for tea days owing to
that institution being quarantined

Having pleaded guilty, the defend
ants are, according to the rules of
customary criminal procedure, denied
