Warshins on the Lakes.

More perturbation than seems to be
warranted has been shown by the Can
adams in their House of Commons at
Ottawa over the matter of warships on
the great lakes. In a mild way the
scare stirred up may be likened to that
reported from London over the activity
of the Germans, with the exception
that the prospect of this country's on
templating any hostile attitude toward
Canada is more absurd than in the case
of Germany.
Under the terms of the Rush-Bagot
treaty of 1917, both the United States
and Canada agreed that the number of
war vessels on the great lakes should
be restricted to four apiece, not exceed
ing 100 tons burden each, and armed
with only eighteen-pound cannon 1t
has just been pointed out in the Com
mons that this treaty virtually has
been broken, and the Canadians are re-
ported as startled with the discovery
that we now nave on the waters of our
international boundary ten war vessels,
with a total force of over 600 men and
officers, having an aggregate armament
Of over seventy guns and a tonnage of
5000.
The comment of George r. Foster,
%ex-minister Of finance, that in case Of
difficulties the United States was
thereby in a position to control lake
shipping and population without
mercy. inasmueh as Canada has no
armed vessel, drew forth the further
disclosure that the individual states
bordering on the lakes had nearly
1000 trained naval ~reservists who
were available at an hours notice.
Inasmuoh as all these forces are
merely a part OF the national scheme
for developing naval reserves at con-
venient inland points instead OF send
ing the youths to the coast, It would
seem that our northern neighbor Is
unduly agitated. The United States Is
just az earnestly DESTROYS Of avoiding
the possibility Of clash on the lakes as
is Canada, and has had no intention Of
engaging in any race for ornaments
along the border. Every step taken In
the development Of our training sta
lions on the lakes has been with the
full accord Of the Canadian govern
ment. which is fully aware that If this
country desired to take any advantage
OF It's superior and establish
a war feet on those waters It would
have only to notify Canada OF its in

Heading off a Scandal.

The prompt and vigorous action
taken by Auditor Barton in dealing
with delinquencies on the part Of GER
tain insurance agents is SURF to head
on a scandal IN Nebraska insurance
circles. In days gone by the state in
suranoe department Of Nebraska and
the practices Hereunder we're notori-
ously of the sort that gave little reason
for respect on the part Of those who
came In contact with the department.
During the last few years an effort

Trade Agreements.

The advantage Of trade agreements
is strikingly manifested in the wage
disputes now engaging the attention Of
the railroads. A crisis impends on the
eastern lines, and Il is barely possible
that ultimately a strike may result, but
in the meantime the compact between
the companies and the Brotherhood Of
Railway Trainmen serves as a stay of
hostilities, and the public is spared
precipitate action which would de-
moralize trafnc. In the case Of the
northern switchmen no such agree
ment obtained and q conflict was en-
%gendered which has dealt a staggering
blow to commerce at the height of the
busiest Of seasons.
Before the day of trade agreements
strikes we're common, In many cases
unreasonable, in all cases costly. The
human problem has seldom arisen,
however, that contrary sides could not
talk over, and when a deadlock results
arbitration is usually possible. Based

trade agreement has come to be the
modern way of nationally avoiding the
inconvenience and loss attending all
Industrial warfare, and It would seem
to be a part Of wise administration Of
large interests to join in the policy of
o~bviating difficulties from which BUSH
ness concerns and the public suffer.
Shining examples of the benefits de-
rived from trade agreements are af-
forded by the newspaper printing and
publishing world, where strikes have
been made practically impossible
through the general adoption of the
arbitration policy. What has been &C
somplished so notably among the
newspapers could just as readily be
maintained in all public service cor
porations.

10 restore the Garden Of Eden sounds
like a bold enterprise, yet a plan sue-
gested by Sir William Willcocks. the Eng

- Is Mesopotamia, the land between the
rivers" Tigrls and Euphrates, with which
ne Is dealing, and he purposes to turn the
surplus water of the Euphrates into the
River Pishon and to carry down the delta
a great canal, which would not only
oring back the productiveness of several
million acres of land, but would guard the
region from the overflow Of the Tigris.
Had Noah been a hydraulic engineer, Sir
william adds, he might have saved his
country as well as his family by construct

would have Involved historic losses as well
as gains. 1t marks a definite step in the

struction should now be undertaken by
the Turkish government, which thereby
demonstrates its real reform to broader
views and more intelligent ambitions.

way to the Mediterranean, the natural

road seems to be demanded because the
Irrigation scheme will impair the naviga-
bility Of the river. And, even before the

There may be some question that the
railroad is indispensable, though Asiatic

met with astonishing success and nave

as valuable to the territory through which
they pass. OF the economic Importance
OF the canal there can scarcely be a doubt.
The transformation wrought in the valley

along the Euphrates. Great cities may
