House to Vote Again on
Sale of Two Battleships

Another vote in the House on the SEN
ate amendment TO the naval bill provid-
ing for the sale of the battleships Idaho
and Mississippi is expected this week.
1t has been learned that the Presi-
dent is IN sympathy with the provision
that went out some days ago when II
ran into a flibuster in the House.
Presidential backing for the provision
has brought about an understa nding for
another vote. Such vote is possible,
though 1t was thought at the time the
provision was lost that this action was
conclusive.
New interest is being raised in the
proposed sale In the House on the
strength OF the belief of high officials
that sale of the two battleships to
Greece will prevent war between Greece
and Turkey.

A STATE M ENT.

Yes, the "sub" editor is on the job this week. John had been looking as though he needed bit of vacation, BO we agreed to help him out At first we made the condition that the fact be noe advertised; but John wouldn t agree to that. We suppose he was afraid that he might be held responsible for our editorial utterances. We might break the papers customary neutrality and mon- partisanship. We might boom the Expressive or the Demohibition party or we might preach. We have tried, how over, to observe the proprieties of the situation and have merely endeavored tO get out paper i'll an initiative sort of fashion. Wedo not claim to be able tD improve on John Rodemeyer's news paper; but we reserve the right at any time to show the world what model newspaper would be like. We trust the editor will come back no worse for kis vacation, and if he will give us AnnFe such editorials as his last one on asWho's Responsible, and more such humor as always pervades his paper, we sfrall be grateful. Meanwhile we advise others to try another mans job for while and realize what he is up against. Yours isn't half bad for a week, John, but how do you keep it up year in and year out ?
