Our Convulsive Architecture.

Far be it from any dweller in New York to
contradict Mr.. Arnold Drummer his estimate
of our architecture. Perhaps he dwelt a little
heavily on the worst side of things when he
singled out Broadway of the roaring 40s. We
have better spots, some very good, others at
least middling. And there is much real distinc
ton even where American individuality has full
swing as in lower Broadway at the canyons
deepest. But his general view is truthful and
his plea for city planning is sound.
When will the public demand beautiful de-
sign and consent TO the individual sacrifices in
cidenta to such plan? Sooner than the pess-
mists think, we suspect. Propaganda and preach
ing cannot hasten the day very much, but a
steadily improving taste can. Train enough
eyes to prefer beauty to ugliness, to find pleasure
i'm the one and annoyance in the other, and the
way for more beauty will be found. Homes are
better inside and outside than they used to be.
If any one doubts that grace and charm now
have solid, farreaching value and influence, look
at the advertising Of the day. 1t is not all of
equal artistic merit. But the tendency is all in
one direction. And for sheer training of the
public's eye and mind in the principles of bal
ance and design we will back the advertising
columns Of America against all the museums of
the world. The former are seen daily, hourly;
they part Of our daily lives. The latter are
exceptional incidents. No amount of pictures in
gallery can Offset a familiar world that swears
10 heaven.
So we think beauty will yet reach Broadway
She would be hardly worth having unless she
came freely and naturally, not thrust upon US by
a list Of experts, but summoned by the shouts of
.. longing crowd And that, in our optimism, is
just the way We foreJee her hour coming

The report printed to-day is beginning IL

10 confident of their substantial accuracy FOR
a complete and thorough exposition the country
must look to a Congressional investigation.
That investigation must come, and come
promptly From the information which has
reached us we feel justified in asserting that
never since our modern navy came into exist
ence have the naval forces of the United States
been in as low state of efficiency as they are
to-day. 1t is not here question of increasing
our navy. It is a question of maintaining such
forces as we have at something approaching
their full fighting strength. 1t is not question
of personal blame or party responsibility. The
s.fety of the nation is at stake and the truth
must be known, wherever it striks.

A Looking Backward Philosopher.

Edwin A. Merritt, jr., was probably the most
popular legislator who served at Albany in the
last twenty years. Essentially human" indi-
vdual. with a broad knowledge of humanity S
ouirks he had mellow humor and tolerance
which he was able to carry even into the bitter
nesses and smallnesses of fractional and partisan
politics. The result was loyal support from
friends and concessions from political antago-
nists, even to the point of bipartisan alliances
for something Ed wants"
With his splendid mental equipment and wide
experience, Mr.. Merritt should have gone far In
public life. He fathered important measures and
was one of his party's real, no. nominal, leaders,
during his legislative service Smaller men have
become Governors. He had the misfortune to
have been a pupil in the old machine school Of
politics. and he believed in its methods. When
the people of the state were breaking away from
the bossism of Odell and later of Barnes, Big
Ed" was too loyal to shift and too honest to pre-
tend that he had readjusted his views to jloe with
the new idea of greater democracy. To his credit
be it said that he paid philosophically the pen
atty of being true to happily vanishing ideals.

More Light on Italy's Attitude.

Premier Salandras address to the Italian
Parliament contains the clearest statement yet
made of Italy's attitude toward the problems
created by the war. Hitherto the Italian gov
eminent has contented itself with procaiming a
policy of strict neutrality AT the outset 1t an
nounced that il was not bound under the terms
Of the Triple Alliance treaty to go to the aid OF
Germany and Austria Hungary, because the war
in which the two latter powers were engaged
was not defensive one. Beyond that it eX-
pressed no opinion and merely suggested that its
own interests required it to avoid entanglements
with either set of beigerents.
Signor Salandra now goes further and says
that merely passive neutrality cannot sufficient
ly safeguard Italy's position in Europe. She is
a great power, looking confidently to the future,
and must be prepared to secure consideration at
a time when important political changes in Eu-
rope and Asia are impending. Therefore, she
must be "watchful, powerful and ready for any
eventuality."
Italy was freed and reunited not much
through the action of her own people as through
the consequences Of wars between other Euro
pean states inuring to her advantage. No Italian
statesman Of to-day can forget the sequence of
events in Europe from 1910 to 1870, by which
Italy so signally profted, or in his heart look
pom the present European conflict as anything
but another opportunity tossed by fate into
Italy's lap. Therefore, when Premier Salandra
says that Italys first duty is to develop to the
utmost her military strength and to stand ready
use it 80 preserve intact her policies" he only
speaks what all Italians feel. With Italy it is
only case Of preparing herself completely and
then using her power 10 improve her position
and safeguard her future.
National self-interest will, Of course, decide
Itays final action. The present ministry is not
yet prepared 10 forecast that action. Probably
Italy was caught last August more or less UNI
prepared, in military sense, just as France
was, and still needs several months 10 make good
deficiencies IN material. Probably, also, the choice
10 be made is not yet absolutely clear from the
point Of view Of double-distilled prudence. But
