THE CORONATION.

The coronation Of King George
comes at most suspicious time. irac-
,icoIlv the whole world is at peace,
the only disturbances being among some
minor chronic offenders. who do not I'M
neril general international relations.
The British Empire IS tranquil to an
exceptional degree, and its various mem
hers have seldom been more united anu
harmonious. Moreover. the rela,loilS ~
the empire with all the world, THANKS
largely to the fine diplomacy of the
Kings predecessor, are university
peaceful and in almost every quarter uh-
usually friendly and cordial. TIE am
bassadors and other ENJOYS who tilrohg
the British capital are on sincere or
rands. and their expressions of CON
gratulation and good wishes ring true.
II is worth while TO have the corona-
lion. with all It's attendant gatherings
ccremonials and messages, merely for
the sake of thus publicly manifesting the
cordial relations of the powers. II Is =
good thing for one day To have all the
world thinking of ono nation and It's
ruler. and thinking of them with kind
ness and confidence. 1t is suspicious II
have the sovereign crowned at time
when the whole inclination of the world
Is toward peace and good will, and when
the most important international queS'
tions which confront his government and
his empire ere those which pertain 10
the permanent confirmation of peace on
foundation of justice.
There is probably in all the world no
i'll will toward the King or his realm
There is surely nowhere in the world
more cordial good will. more hearty
CONCENTRATIONS or more sincere wishes
for long and prosperous reign than In
the United states. And ii IS a pleas
ing reflection that nj the moment when
this country is uniting with its neigh
bcrs in such expressions il is preparing
10 commemorate the completion of a
century of unbroken peace with Great
Britain and is taking practical steps 70"
the establishment Of treaty relations
which. so far as human covenants avail,
will make that peace perpetual.

TOO 1fANH WY YARDS.

At hearing before the House Com
mittee on Expenditures in the Navy De
partment last Monday Secretary Meyer
developed somewhat the plan for con-
soldating the navy yards which he ont
lined in his last annual report In that
report he recommended the abandon
mont of the navy yards at New Orleans
and Pensacola. and of the naval rescr-
vatiOnS az San Juan. Porto Rico: Port
Royal. :. e.: New London. Conn;
Sackctt's IIarbOr. y. Y, and Cavite. In
the Philippines. He favored the reten-
ton of the two yards on the Pacific
Coast. at san Francisco and Bremerton.

the present yard at san Francisco de
fectivc. He was not ready then. he
said. To name the yards on tho Atlantic
Coast which could be spared.
Now ne is apparently nearing n de-
cision on that point for he told the com
mittcc that only three ought 10 be re-
tanned Oh the Atlantic. There are now
six at Portsmouth. Boston. New York
City. Philadelphia. Norfolk and Charles
ton. The New York ward cannot he
dispensed with. 1t * central, and has
facilities for building and repairing ships
which no other Atlantic Coast yard pos

patches indicate that the Philadelphia
ward will also bc recommended for re-
tcntion on the ground that il is the only
Ia. Atlontin hoo ri with a
fresh water basin ana is also otherwise
admirably situated for repair work. For
third choice the Norfolk yard seems TO
be the most available. The other yards
could be profitably reduced TO stations
or closed
OF course. the abandonment of any
ward Will excite local hostility and any
plan Of consolidation will be resisted In
Congress. But the proper development
OF the navy requires n concentration OF
docking ana repair facilities at fewer
points Warships are increasing so rap
idly in size that shore establishments
are overtaxed TO accommodate them. II
would he easier and cheaper To enlarge
channels. docks and facilities at only
FIVE yards than at eleven yards-thc
present number maintained by the
United States. Indeed. it would be an
impossible burden financially TO modern
ize all our eleven yards and keep them
open for the use of vessels of the new
super Drcadnought order
The great European naval powers
haVc already learned the lesson Of CON
centration. Great Britain. with navy
twice as large as ours, has only three
first class yards and three second class
yards. The United States has seven of
the first class and four Of the second
class. Germany, with IL navy equal to
ours, has only three navy yards all told.
OF course with our two widely sepa-
rated coasts we need two sets of yards.
But three OH the Atlantic and two on
the Pacific would suffice, giving the
fleets in both oceans adequate facilities

ROOM EOR A NEW TERM.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: ! am I'm sympathy with tho sugscS-
tlcns made by your correspondent In Tho
Tribune Of June II as regards the raising
of hats when the national anthem Is played.
I am somewhat puzzled, however. by the
signature Of the writer "A Citizen or
America" To what part does this gentle
man belong. as America is rather large
hemisphere? In my bOyhood days | was
taught that it consisted Of two parts, North
and South America. each section being
made up Of number OF countries and ma
tonalities This frequent error OF citizens
Of the United States in referring to that
section of North America as America is
unfortunate and misleading, and | am
sorry to say that even some Of the Official
representatives of our government drop
into the same error, as frequently consuIs
abroad call themselves American consuls'
instead OF consus of the United states
confusing and likely TO lead TO compllca-
tons by those who do not appreciate that
IT is meant more as joke than reality.
