somber. White. Of course. can hardly
be called somber-and that Is one of the
favorite summer colors. But at all
events It Is not gaudy, like the most
popular colors OF a season or so ago
White and navy blue, all white. white
and black-these have been the popular
color combinations at the fashionable
summer resorts.
The big hats that smart summer ac-
tivities have brought forth are another
noticeable fashion. The small, severe
hat Of the spring is really quite unsuited
10 our scorching, sunny summer. And
so women have demanded broad-brimmed
hats that give shade to the eyes.

the conclusion that the greatest problem

characterization rivalry in the Paclhc.
How IL this rivalry going TO be set

should be war between the two countries
and many people in Germany profess 10
foresee such eyentua.ity. DR.. Won Mackdy
believes It would involve the most dan
Gerous consequences. both to Japan and
10 the United States. Japan Is not IN a
financial position to 60 TO war. She Is
still suffering from the heavy expenditure
entailed bv the Russian war. on the other
hand. the United States in war with
Japan would labor under the great disad-
vantage Of operating far from her home
waters. without adequate coaling stations.
Further. IL would be very difficult for the
United States to save, or even 70 protect
the Philippines from Japanese invasion
The same may be said Of Alaska, wnicn
japan would no doubt invade also.
Dr. Won Mackay states that il is 10 the
worlds. and especially 10 Europe's. para
mount interest 10 avoid such a conflict,
which surely would have Notwithstanding
consequences. The German writer then
suggests: Let Anglo-German relations
steadily improve. and then. when one OF
the greatest. IL not the greatest, of Eu-
ropean problems has been solved Europe
will once more have her hands free TO act
as arbiter between Japan and the United
States.
"A leading part In this arbitration would
naturally befall Great Britain, wno' as
Japan's ally and Americas racial sister
nation. and further. as the worlds great
est maritime power, would prooaoly
command fair hearing az the hands OF
both rivals" Germany. OF course, Baron
Won Mackay finally states. must go hand

constant amelioration of Anglo-German
relations will allow Of an Anglo-German
agreement in the Mediterranean and per-
NIT Great Britain TO concentrate all mel

The SlnuIe Term.

II takes time to amend the constf-
tuition Of the United States. The
amendment providing for a six-year
presidential term with no reelection
must be pushed with vigor If It is to
be adopted before 1916.
Resolutions for such an amendment
are pending in both houses Of congress.
1t is doubtful, however. If either is in
form for final passage. The prohibit
ton must be made absolute. No man
who has served six years in the presi-
dency before the adoption Of the
amendment should be eligible to cleo
ton afterwaFd. This must be made
30 clear that 1t cannot be miscon-
strued.
Only in this way can the country get
a chance to attend to its proper bust
ness, unvexed by Bull Moose bawling.
The amendment must be scrutinized
with care before it is sent out to the
states; but it must not be delayed. The
first state election held after the COM
ing session Of congress should have
chance to pass upon this matter.
There must be no loss of time and no
lock of clearness in translating the
anti-third term tradition into constitu-
tional law.
