As is notorious though, Prof. Garner seems to have no statistics on this point, nothing whatever is done to the vast majority of slayers. Murders are acquitted and lionized upon pleas which would not be tol- erated for moment in the courts of any other civilized country. Lynchings increase at a great rate.

building such defective vessels, the attention of the world was invited to the situation by exhibiting the ships named at Hampton Roads, where the foreigners, it is appre- hended, must have observed their deplorable condition with apprecia- ton.
 AS a matter of fact the foreign CTS have long known all they want to know regarding the vulnerabil- ity of our ships. That has been the bushes of some of their represen- tatives in this country, of course, and the congregation of ships at Hampton Roads probably led to no new discoveries. What would ap- pear to be more shocking, indeed, is this exposure of war ship defects in the publication of the Navy lea gue. Of course it's purpose is indicat- ed in the final paragraph, in which Secretary Metcalf, one of the two honorary members of the League, is taken severely to task for alleged lack of interest in following up Sec retary Bonnaparte's plan to re-or- sanize the administration machinery of the Navy Department. It is safe to say that no such radical change as that which would introduce naval general staff in the depart mental mechanism would have saw ed the navy from whatever de- fleets may exist, and it is a good sign that Secretary Metcalf has not chosen to do violence to the system, the merits or the faults of which he has had small opportunity to under stand.
 It might be remarked, inciden- tally, that Secretary Metcalf could very we'll look into the personnel of the Navy Department and find out how and why there has been such an advertisement of naval defects. Such a disclosure in a quarter which pretends to have semi-officlal sustenance is apt to do harm 10 the service in Congress, where an- thoritive information against the navy is good material for its crit ics. the opponents of more ships and of personal legislation.
