"Then this also came out Of the
struggle of the sixties,-The reality and

yes we would expect Presbyterian
to say that but demonstrate the claim.
Take this one illustration in reply.
The elevation of Lincoln to the pres-
dency in 1860 was not the voice Of the
people. 1t was the voice of God. Some
of you men here can well remember
that the popular vote for presidency
in the election of 1860 was more than
a million votes against Mr.. Lincoln.
But by the inscrutable will of God con-
stitutional forms had been so framed
at a time when men were not anticl-
pating a crisis such as the civil war
brought on that the confusion of the
popular will was completely changed
and a man who had more than mil
lion votes against him was put in the
seat of power. Why? There is only
one answer to give in the light of his
tory and that is-'Because he was
Gods man for the time The civil war
demonstrated this--the reality and
sovereignty of God. Let us hold fast
to this.

Asks Designs for - 4
Hydro-Aeroplanes

Rear Admiral Philip Andrews, Acting
Secretary of the Navy, has asked all
hydro-aeropiane manufacturers in this
country to submit To the Navy Depart
ment designs for machines by the middle
of August ''.'.." r''[
A rigid set OF specifications have been
made up. and each manufacturer will
be furnished a copy. The maximum
speed of the hydros must be not less
than fifty-hve miles an hour. Each
machine must carry two persons
Weighing together not less than $50
pounds, and full supply of fuel for
a four-hour flight.
In asking that manufacturers submit
designs, it can be seen that the Navy
Department officials eventually expect
to have every battleship and cruiser
equipped with a hydro.
Hydro aeroplane flying has proved
even more wonderful than fiying over
land, and at the present 1t seems TO
hayS a better future. e-N.

Officers End Daily Con-
ferences.

Secretary OF War Stimson and his coun-
ell Of army officers have, completed their
preliminary work regarding the reor-
ganization Of the army.

ters were relegated to future considera-

the army be divided into three divisions.
and so assigned to posts throughout the
country that each division may be read
fly mobilized as a complete fighting unit
with the proper proportion of each
branch of the service.
The recommendation relegated to fu-
ture consideration, include the following
subjects: Consolidation Of the various
stan corps, length of term Of service,
creation OF a standing reserve, and 9TH
er changes calling for new gislatfon.
Secretary Stimson expressed himself
as highly gratified with the work of the
council and through executive and army

rate such of the reforms suggested as

Frank A. Munsey

We are on the eve of political revolution.
No one can afford to be in ignorance of or mis-
informed about it,
The formation of the new Progressive
party marks an epoch in the political history of
the United States. 1t is bigger broader, and
laid on firmer foundations than most of us have
realized. "The new Progressive party is a
nationwide party, not sectional one. 1t is big
ger than any one man. 1t is not Roosevelt
party, as many persons seem to think"
You should know how big it is and how far
reaching is its influence The present political
situation is merely an incident; it served to
crystalline into an actuality trend that had
been developing for years.
Mr.. Munsey's article for the first time
defines the new party and what it stands for,
and shows the need of it.
1t is keen analysis of the conditions that
led to the break in the Republican party and the
= launching of the new Progressive party.
'r :. 1t is a clear, forcefu showing up of the
archaic methods and practices of the old parties,
and the crying need of a modern party capable
and willing to deal with modern conditions and
modern men; party to which men of all parts
of the country can belong and in which all
voters can voice their sentiments and have an
ACTUAL part in the government of them
selves.
The old parties have been good in their
time but they have served their purpose. They
were formed to meet conditions that no longer
exist and cannot cope with conditions as they
are today. The march of civilization has passed
them by and they must give way to new ones.
Nothing is good enough because it is or has
been;" conditions are constantly changing; if
there is no progress there will be retrogression
and THE UNITED STATES is NOT GOING
BACKWARDS, nor is it going to be held back
by antiquated forms of government. 1t is going
