to ship commanders his opinion that
the armor belt on our battleships is
too low, thus sustaining the main con-
tention of Henry Reuterdahl in his ar
ticle for McClure's. The language of
the admiral was as follows: 1T will be
remembered that all our ships are now
of greater displacements than that of
their original design, and in conse-
Quence they not only have an increased
draft of water, but in the case of
armored ships their armor beSis prac-
tically awash at load draft, which
leaves them, as far as protection is
concerned, but little better than armor-
ed cruisers" Prior the general board
of the navy had recommended the re-
moval of certain weights on the battle
ships in order to raise the armor belt

that all this vital evidence was ex.

President Roosevelt's anticipated mes.
sage to congress. March %, making
specific recommendation of the legis-
lation imperatively needed by the ma
ton was noticeably devoid of heated
denunciation and generalization and
was generally understood to represent
basis Of party agreement on which
the coming Republican platform might
be erected by the friends of the admin
istration.
Of chief interest at the moment is
the part dealing with the amendment
of the Sherman antitrust law and ap-
proving the bill for this purpose intro
duced in the house by Hepburn Mon
day. Combinations he takes to be a
necessity Of the modern Industrial
world both among business men and
among laboring men, including farm
ers. AS the best method of separating
the good combinations from the bad
ones. the president suggests the plan
Of registration contained in the Hep
burn bill. For the specific protection
of labor unions and farmer organiza
lions he would have the right to
strike recognized as legal and like
wise the right of employers to com
bine and contract with one another
and with their employees. Also should
be explicitly recognized the right of
the employees to seek peaceably to
persuade others to accept their views
and to strike for the purpose Of peacea-
bly, obtaining from employers satisfac-
tory terms for their labor" But the
