ARMY AND NAVY

The proposed plan of Secretary of
the Navy Daniels of sending the four
divisions OF the Atlantic fleet, ac-
Companied by a division of arn1ored
cruisers and destroyers, to visit Med
iterranean waters during the coming
year, is receiving much favorable
comment in the London press. The
Telegraph announces that the British
government has already made plans
to extend British hospitality to the
crews at Gibraltar and Malta, and
probably on Egyptian port. 1t points
out that the American fleet will be
far the most powerfW in the Mediter-
ranean, and says that. the decision of
the United States government TO dis
patch a force of such commanding
power indicates the Importance at
tached to the task of showing the flag
in the old world with view to sup
porting American diplomacy.
The assembly of ships will repre-
sent far higher standard of fighting
power than has ever before been seen
in those waters. The British navy,
even during the long period of Anglo
French antagonism, never had more
than fourteen battleships in the Med
iterranean, and at present the French
fleet has only eighteen vessels of the
battleship type in active service,
while Italy has only eight vessels and
Austria six. Its size viii comparative
ly dwarf the British squadron at Gil
braltar. and Malta, which, after the
completion of the British Admiralty's
scheme of reorganization, will COM
prise only four battle cruisers and
four armored cruisers This British
force, when contrasted with the main
fleet of the United States, will APP
pear of almost insignificant size. The
two divisions of American dread
noughts will equal in size, armor, arm
ament and steaming redius any
battleship fleet that will be shown by
any Mediterranean power. and the
two divisions of super-dreadnaughts,
which will be completed in time for
the cruise, will be the most powerful
ships ever displayed in those waters.
Further comment is made at length
concerning the facts that not only
will the cruise have an educational in
fluence on the officers and men of the
ships, but that it is intended to adyer-
tise to the nations of Europe the ma
val power of the United States, which,
contrary to popular belief. possesses
the second greatest fleet in the world.
This position it is destined to lose
when the many powerful German YES
sells now under construction are COM
pieted. owing to the failure of the
American congress to approve the
navy departments plans for naval ex-
pansion, but its present position is as
sured. In the opinion of the Telegraph
the visit of the American ships will
have the effect of inducing the British
government TO modify its present pol
icy. of continuous concentration of its

Special agents of the department
Of justice, officers of a. nationally
known detective agency, and the
local police forces of the District of
Columbia have been called in by the
navy department to Investigate the
leak through which several plans of
ships and also minor documents have
disappeared. Cotcerrling the loss of
these plans the navy department has
issued a statement to the effect that
on the night of Marth A tinaugura-
ton day. there we're a large number
OF people admitted to the State, War
and Navy building, assembled to wit
ness the inaugural display of fire
works, and that during the evening

unknown, from the draughting room
of the bureau of stea mengineering,
uncompleted plans Of the electric
wiring of the new battleship Pennsyl-

state, showed the genera larrange-
ment of the docks and matches, but
would be of no particular value to
anyone wishing to obtain naval in
formation not generally made public.
On the 14th of the same month SINH
lar plans were missing from the same
draughting room. About the only
real secret connected with battleship
construction nowadays is the fire
control apparatus, that is, the cleo
trical devices and arrangements by
which the firing of the guns o flarge
caliber are controlled from central
station. Every nation endeavors to
guard its fire control devices from
every other. On the other hand, it is
information about fire control which
governments maintaining modern
navies are most anxious to obtain in
regard to their rivals. 1t is believed
that matter of general policy
prompted denial by the department
that the stolen plans showed the de-
tails OF the fire control plans of the

comparatively few and are caused not by depth
of water currents or unexpectedly cold tempera-
lures, but by ignorance of swimming or by lack
|of precaution. Probably half of the accidents
that have occurred within the last few years
have been due to the fact that the swimmers were
physically unfit for any sudden demand upon
nervous energy, or stayed in the water to the
point of exhaustion. Under normal conditions,
Waikiki beach is safer than any other bathing
spot on the Pacific.

ing up the good work started by former Attor-
ney general Wickersham against the trusts.
Like Wickersham, McReynolds works up his
cases SO well that when the defendants are
brought into court they are glad to plead guilty
and escape with a fine The new attorney gen
egal got his training for this work under Wick
ersham. He was special prosecutor in several
large cases and made a splendid record. His
first victory as head Of cabinet portfolio is that
against the''coaster brake" monopoly. Wicker
shams work was the most eonspicuously sue
cessful of that of any member of the Taft cabi7
net, and in McReynolds the United States seems
blessed with another fearless crusader against
unfair monopoly

That Keefe report has finally made its ap-
pearance in public, after reposing in the dusty
pigeon-holes Of Secretary Nage1's desk for two
years. Commissioner Keefe came to Hawaii,
jaunted around the islands for few weeks, list
ened to complaints from all sorts of irrespon-
sible sources, and then produced report 50
lacking in substance and proof for the somewhat
sensational charges he made that the secretary
of commerce. and labor promptly and rightfully
pigeon-holed the document, That it is now be-
ing used in the free-sugar campaign is enough to
largely discredit the free-sugar argument-with
those who know. With those who do not know,
the report possibly carries weight.

the issue of the Japanese question in

fact that the Tokyo government has
decided to lodge formal protest with
Washington regarding the situation
In adopting such a resolute step the

any extraordinary incident or situation
that may happen in connection there

paper, feel strong enough to encounter
any situation? Nevertheless, the pa

crate policy on Japan's part will have
the effect of solving the question in a
satisfactory manner A London tele-
gram indicates that the public opinion
of Great Britain is optimistic because
of the fact that the. tension between
Japan and California has been slack
ened. But the situation in California
at present does not allow such optimis-
tic views.

Discuss Compulsor Mediation
Of Industrial Disputes

To suggest amendments to the Fed
eral law known as the Erdman act and
to formulate model arbitration law
that might be adopted by all the
States are the chief purposes of the
present conference. The Erdman act,
so far as its present scope extends, is
considered a satisfactory measure. 1t
has been successfully applied in in
terstate railroad disputes, but it does
not at present include disputes which
may arise in railroad shops or In coast
wise or river transportation or in eX-
press traffic, and being Federal act,
it does not apply to municipal utilities,
which can be dealt with only by the
States. The strengthening of the Erd-
man act and the adoption of laws
along the same line by all of the
States are deemed necessary. And in
, addition to such Federal and State
| legislation, the conference will con-
slider Il plan for settling disputes be-
tween Federal, State and municipal
employees and their respective govern
ments.
In addition to the question of set.
Ting industrial disputes by law, the
delegates to the conference now in ses-
