the Tigers, is in reserve, and so are

Take Cobb away and so per cent

Rowing fans all over the country
will be pulling" for Wisconsin and
Washington to make good showing
tomorrow in the American Henley at
Poughkeepsie.
Year after year the Badgers have
gone East, only to be beaten back
by crews from one Of the Atlantic
states colleges. With strong hearts
the Wisconsin men always come
back for more.
This year Coach Vail claims to
have his best crew, and there is an
excellent chance for the Cardinals to
at least get place.
Washington has come clear across
the continent for this one four-mile
brush. There is no means of COM
pairing the crew with eastern Fights,
but the men deserve credit for max
ing the trip.
Unfortunately Harvard and Yale
do not row against Columbia, Cor
nell, Syracuse and the other big
crews. The Blue and Crimson keep
to themselves, and the winner claims
the rowing championship. But out
side of the two colleges this claim
isn't recognized.
The only comparison is the time
made by the winner of the Pough-
keepsie regatta and the Harvard-Yale
clash. AS the races are rowed over
different courses, andrwind and water
are not the same, the comparative
time is of little value.

A NATIONAL MILITARY RESERVE.

War Secretary Garrison in his annual report is to
renew and emphasize the recommendation to Con-
gress for the building up of military reserve cap
able of taking the field in of need. The secre-
tary is expected also urge the system of short
listmens for the regular army in order to make it
great training school for young men. This Is prac-
tically the German system of military training.
Short enlistments will be an inducement for many
thousands of young to enter the army and get
the benefit of its setting-up and training. When
these men go back into civil life they are soldiers
and formed into a reserve, will make force ade-
quate for the national defense Many of these re-
servists will be we'll fit for commissions when called
into service.
AS it is, regular army which has no reserve
but the National Guard, is little more than police
force, and it is widely scattered. High military
authority has stated that foreign army could be
landed on our Atlantic and Pacific coasts and take
the Notifications of harbors in reverse. State
ments like this were read with incredulity before the
European They are believed now.

Some of the late Senator George
Frisbie Hoars colleagues of the
United States Senate were fond oc-
casionally of stirring the Senator up
by referring in an apparently in
cidental manner to General Benjamin
+. Butler. This Senator Hoar re-
fused persistently to tolerate. His
antagonism to General Butler was of
long duration, and had begun in the
days of Senator Hoar's early practice
at the Worcester (Mass.) bar This
antagonism was shared by other
members of Senator Hoars family,
and especially by his brother, Eben-
ezer lockwood Hoar, who was attor-
ney- general in the Cabinet of Presi-
dent Grant, and who also served one
term in Congress at a time when his
brother George was also a member
of the lower House.
Senator Hoar could stand a good
deal of amicable chatting, and even
could put up with practical joke If
there were no malice behind it. But
the mention of General Buffers name
always caused his eyes to snap, and
he would relieve the intensity of his
feelings by violently jinglfng the keys
on his key ring. 1t seemed almost in
chusetts should have elected Benja
min r. Butler Governor of the State
in 1882. At that time Senator Hoar
was member of the board of over
seers or trustees of Harvard Univer-
sity, and there at once came to his
mind the awful necessity, as he re-
garded it, that Harvard should en-
tertain his excellency, Benjamin F..
Butler, Governor of Massachusetts, at
the commencement exercises. 1t would
have fallen to Senator Hoars part to
serve as chairman of the trustees
upon that occasion.
Now Harvard has always received
with great distinction the Governor
of the State of Massachusetts upon
commencement day. 1t became known
that the overseers felt that 1t was
imperative that the university should
make no exception in the case of
Benjamin f. Butler. Senator Hoar

THE PARCEL POST RoBBERIEs.

Robbery of the parcel post belongs to the lowest
and meanest order of crimes. The parcel post is the
medium of delivery for all kinds of purchases and
gifts and the thief who robs it is the enemy of every
Individual who mails package, for his plumber is in
discriminate
This form of crime is yet quite unusual, and as
disbursement to its growth every parcel post
thief who is apprehended should be dealt with by the
courts without any mercy. A strong deterrent is
needed and trial judges will be delinquent in their
duty If they do not furnish 1t in their sentences
The Federal courts are, however, usually severe
in dealing with persons who tamper with the ordi-
nary nails as they should be. Thievish postal clerks
or carriers are seldom accorded clemency and for
that reason If for other, mail robberes are rarely
committed Condign punishment in all cases of mail
or parcel post robbery is protection of the public

Holland and the Submarine

The late John Holland, of this city,
inventor of the modern submarine
boat. never lost faith in the efficiency
of this sort of war craft. He was al
ways positive that the command
of the seas would eventually be based
on the merit of the submarine. His
death q few weeks ago removed him
almost at the moment of the great
triumph of the submarine in the pres
ent war.
Holland was forced to undergo the
usual cynical contempt Of the public
which the average inventor suffers.
His ideas, when first preached in Pat
erson, where he was a school teacher
years ago, and where he made his
first attempts at submarine naviga-
ton, brought forth a storm of public
disapproval. He was thought to be a
mailman.
Later, when he attempted to have
the Holland submarine introduced
into the American navy, his efforts
were baked by the late Admiral
Sampson, who said that Holland was
an impractical person. 1t was COM
monty known at the time that Hol-
land, who was a patriotic native Irish
man, was III ifS
invention by the purpose of producing
a military arm that would offset the
power of England on the seas. All
through his life he claimed that the
submarine would in the future achieve
his original aim. He would assert
that the comparative cheapness of the
submarine would offset any battleship
that man could build.
Holland lived to see the time that
the improved Holland boat could
travel for a radius of $500 miles. This
has been accomplished by the latest
of the German craft of this type. He
also lived to see the adoption of his
invention by Japan and the utilization
by that power of his craft in the bat
tie of the sea of Japan, the greatest
naval battle in the history of the
world.
The recent events of the European
war would make 1t positive that none
of the so-called wild dreams of the
inventor were anything but good
logic, also that he was no idle prophet
