REMEMBER THE MAINE

Official Washington felt no alarm or admitted none, says the Cleve- land Leader, when a world rumor iutimated that the United States ar moured cruiser North Carolina had been blown up in the Asiatic Turk ish port of Smyrna, Ambassador Morgenthau had just cabled from COnstantinople the solemn assurance Of the Turkish government that the interests of neutral nations would be fully respected. Secretary Daniels had no fears for the safety of the cruiser, Still, he ordered the navy department to make efforts 10 get in touch with both the North Carolina and Tennesse9 to ascer- tain their whereabouts and condi- ton.
 A year or so ago, when things in Mexico were becoming unCom- monly precarious, Washington be- came apprahensive for the safety Of American. citizens in that coun- try and President Wilson formally and earnestly advised them to come home. Would not tke ad- ministration do well to follow it's Own advice in the case of the two cruisers that are wandering aim lessly around the Mediterranean Ostersibly for the protection Of American interests?
 A government that did not pre- vent the murder Of more than 15O of its citizens in q contiguous country, though it's army was on the border and it's navy within call, can hardly expect two cruisers in the Aegean Sea to exert moral persuasion sufficiently strong to safeguard the lives and property of missionaries. and other peripate- lie Americans far in the interior Of desert Moslem countries where the faithful are being inflamed to the eXcesSes of a holy war" and Turk ish commanders are threatening to kill three Christians for every Mus sulman killed.
 Granting that they are still afloat and undamaged, it seems possible that the North Carolina and the Tennessee are courting disaster rather than preventing it and could serve their country best by coming home out Of harms way. Another Maine affair would be peculiarly regrettable just now.
