STATUES OF THE SIGNERS.
Washington Should Contain Emgies
Of the Patriotic Fifty-Six.

The dedication in the city of Washing
citizens has brought to my mind very
forcibly the advance we are now making
on the lines of American education. and
the military representatives Of our ma
tional unity now in evidence and those
in contemplation of erection will form
a splendid galaxy of American heroes.
What we need in this great capital are
representatives along the lines of peace.
culture and Of education, but notably. we
want the greatest epoch in the history
of mankind fttingly represented at the
capital of the great republic by having
monuments of the signers of the Declara-
tion of Independence placed In the diff
ferent squares and reservations of the
nations capital. The dedication Of the
statue of John Witherspoon marks an i'm
portant era, and advantage should be
taken of 1t.
Why should not the several states of
the Union which had the high honor and
privilege Of having had live In their
midst the signers OF the Declaration of
Independence give the impetus to have
their worthy sons represented in bronze
or marble in Washington? It would be a
patriotic service: 1t would be highly ideal
and would be a source Of constant educa-
ton not only to the young. but even to
resident in Washington could take hold OF
this and thus give a reason for their
existence outside of political work. |
am sure that every citizen in Washing
ton, and in fact. throughout the Union,
Independent of the states where the sign
ers were born, will cheerfully aid and
cooperate to make this work one of
genuine interest and patriotic endeavor.
l have also been in correspondence with
Cardinal Gibbons, calling his attention to
Charles Carroll of Carrollton. and asking
him to enlist the Catholic Church in this
laudable enterprise. especially as not only
Carroll, but possibly other signers of
the Declaration. were members of that
church--net for a moment that this idea
should bear any sectarian. form. but sim
ply to enlist this great organization as
we'll as other church organizations on
and in behalf of not only to beautify
Washington, but Of immortalizing for all
time the great men who made this ma
ton a possibility.
Anything that could do. either of
ficially or personally. to bring about this
lauda BILE contamination, will be cheerfully
rendered. SIMON WOLF.

ENGLAND DISREeAROS AMERICA
NAVY PLAN BASED ON NEXT
TWO POWERS SHIPS.
Asquith Says Remoteness of United
States Renders Consideration
Unnecessary.

LONDON May 27.-In the house OF
commons last night Premier Asquith defin-
itively laid down the view OF the British
government in regard to the question
whether the United States should be con-
sidered In determining the British two
power naval standard.
Mr.. AsQuith said that q great deal of
nonsense had been talked about the two
power standard. which was. in fact. moth
ing more than q purely empirical gen.
eralization.
He agreed that the range of British
vision should not be limited to Europe.
but. on the other hand. when considering
the combined effective strength Of any
other two powers OF the world for az
gressive purposes one must. he said. have
regard to geographical position.
America Can Be Disregarded.
In dealing with a remote power whose
naval base was 5000. 5000 or 10000 miles
away, with no convenient coaling sta
tions. 1t was elementary common sense
not to treat that power as OF the same
effective value as q power with naval
base a hundred miles or SO away.
Therefore. pursued Mr.. Asquith. the
United States could not be regarded as
one of the two powers which would have
to be taken into account Although the
United States was the. second among the
naval powers OF the world. she could not
be. treated as Of the same efficiency for
aggressive. purposes toward England as
France, Germany or Austria.
Fleets Journey Cited.
Arthur Lee objected to the premier's .
view. saying he. would deal with the
probability Of any war with America
merely as an academic proposition.
1T Is really impossible to exclude
America on the score Of geographical re-
moteness," said Mr.. Lee, when she has
just sent a fleet Of sixteen frst-class bat
tleships, maintained as q fighting entity
throughout. for a voyage of 10000 miles,
In the course Of which that feet circum-
navigated the globe and visited many
parts Of the British empire
Mr.. Balfour, without mentioning the
United States, argued that Mr.. Asquith
had abandoned the traditional British
view OF the two-power standard. but the
house rejected by a majority Of ia a
motion embodying Mr.. Balfour's criticism.
