ILL-TDIED MILTARISM

Preparedness for war is re- ceiying attention in Washing ton just now. Having been told that American battleships are as obsolete as fllntlock muskets, a congressional committee has insti- gated experiments with torpedo shells. Realizing the inferioriey Of the United States army's avia- tion corps according to European standards, the war department has obtained appropriations and in yited young, unmarried officers to volunteer for tke hazardous service at increased pay. Now a Kansas representative and military affairs committeeman purposes to urge the equipment of the army with ar mored automobiles.
 It must be confessed that the moment is not psychologically pro pitious. Americans are singularly out of sympathy with militartsm at present. Frankly, they are pro- foundly disgusted with Europes ready lapse into saYagery, which they attribute chiefly to that same preparedness and the military bureaucracy behind 1t. The Amer ican stomach is overloaded with war. A people already suffering Arrangement of it's business affairs, threatened with pseudo war tax importuned to contribute to hos pital corps and Christmas ships and penalized in various other ways by a war to which it is not a party is not in any frame of mind to vel come preparations for q war of it's own.
 A nation may become involved in war whether it hopes and prays for peace or not, whether it prepares for war or not. There can scarce ly be any question of the wisdom Of keeping the country i'll a req sonable state Cf preparation. Pre- dictions that the present conflict will be the last great war as yet have no more substantial basis than optimism. But the chance of Americas implication in war is no greater now than usual. Rather, it is less, as the issues have been pretty well joined with this coun- try left out, and it is to the interest ot all the combatants that she re- main out to the end.
 The military enthusiasm evident in some quarters at Washington is distinctly ill-timed and regrettable No one can regret it's inopportune- ness more than will the leyel-head- ed citizens who, while hoping and praying and working for peace, do not close their eyes to their coun- try's need of adequate weapons of defense.

Though the war appears to be going on just the same, the day ot prayer for peace may have had Q beneficial effect on those who prayed.

London, May 22.-The wild women"
of the Women's Social and Political
Union, the militant suffragette organ
ization, today continued their terror
izing tactics by making two separate
attacks on the national art treasures.
The turmoil of the battle in the vi
entity of Buckingham Palace, where
column of determined women yes
terday attempted TO reach the King
with a petition and came into violent
conflict with the police, had barely
subsidized. when early today, a woman
armed with loaded cane, slashed
five masterpieces in the National Gal
lery.
Almost simultaneously another wo-
man damaged q picture hanging In
the Royal Academy of Art.
Both women were arrested.
A little later the magistrate before
whom were brought the 81 women ar
rested in connection with yesterdays
disturbance was compelled to suspend
the proceedings because the accused
created so much din in the police court
that nothing could be heard.
The pictures damaged at the Nation
al Gallery were Madonna and
ChIlu with infant SdlHto, poll ialt
of Girolamo Malatini" Saints John
and Christopher and the Boge," "A
Landscape with the Death of Saint
Peter" and "Christ's Agony in the
Garden" Apparently they were not
irreparably injured
Other Used Butchers Cleaver
The painting gashed at the Royal
Academy was "Primavera," by George
Clausen, Royal Academiean. The
academy was filed with a fashionable
thrcng when a woman drew butch
ers eleaver which she had concealed
in her clothing and dashed at the
picture, in which she hacked several
gashes. Attendants at once seized her
