THE LONDON TIMES AND cHicA'
GO TRleUNE.

People who have watched the course
of the Chicago Tribune are astounded
that a journal calling itself the Worlds
Greatest Newspaper should openly
boast of its alliance with the London
Times. The Times has long been
noted for its stupidity and the London
public places little value on either It's
foreign or domestic news reports.
Christened "The Thunderer' by itself

ity ninety years ago. 1t has success.
sively earned the titles OF THE Blum.
derer" and 1.-THE Slumberer" from Its
more enlightened contemporaries. The
Times has opposed every popular
movement in England looking to the
uplifting OF the masses Of the people.
It has fought every liberal measure
from manhood suffrage and Catholic
Emancipation to ballots for women. It
has been the subservient, smiling
echo and mouthpiece Of English Tories
since It's establishment. It 10 now
owned by Lord Northcliffe, a newly
created peer and hence an ultra con.
sentative Tory. When this person was
in the United States recently he pre-.
dotted that Home Rule would never be
given to Ireland. The wish was prob.
ably father to the thought and Lord
Northcliffe. nee Harmsworth, prob.
ably thought that he could not be "in
good form" as owner Of the Times,
don't you know, unless he was un.
friendly to the Irish. Aside from Its
longtime animosity to everything
American and to everything fav0ring
the United States Of America, the
Times has been excessively and bit
terly anti.Irish. One hundred years
ago, in 1912 to be more exact, DR..
Stoddard, an intense anti-Irishman,
was It's editor. He was SO bitter and
at the same time so Times.like and
stupid that the great Irish poet, Tom
Moore, satirized him as "Dr. Slop." In
1884 Daniel O'Connell, the great Irish
leader, denounced The Times on the
floor Of the House of Commons for
garbling its reports Of debates--plain
lying in other words. During the Civil
War In the United States, The Times
sent w. H. Russell to this country az
its correspondent and the way he lam
pooned the soldiers and cause of the
North earned for him the title Of "Bul
Run" Russell. In 1888, the villainoui
attacks of The Times on Charles
Stewart Parnell and the Irish Parlia
mentary Party resulted in famous
trial In which The Times and its de
famers of the Irish cause were thor
oughly shown up and a verdict rem
dered against The Times and In favo
OF the Irish leaders for $4,000 ant
costs in the highest courts In England

THE lack Of torpedoes for our
fleet practically places the vessels Of
the United States navy at the mercy
OF any foe that might attack them.
The navy has today not more than
700 torpedoes-the sinews Of war that
japan employed to wipe out the fleets
Of Russia and China. This means that
we have only torpedoes enough to
fire two shots each from the 463 tor.
pedo tubes Of our warships. II these
first shots did not destroy the enemy,
our destroyers, submarines and torpe-
do boats might Just as well never have
been built"
