The National Safety.

Politics should not be injected into
the proposition to inquire about army
and navy conditions Us they appear in
the light cast by the European war.
Mr., Gardner does not desire that, and
there is no reason why anybody should.
The question is far above our political
divisions on domestic issues, and re-
lates to a matter in which men OF all
parties should feel and take keen
and active interest. For if, as alleged,
our national defenses are inadequate, II
concerns US all that they be made fully
adequate, and at as early time as
possible. The bloodiest of all war
dramas is holding the boards: and
while we are not now in the cast. we
should be ready if Fate. the great stage
manager, calls us out. If assigned
part, We should be prepared to play
1t to the queens taste.
But the main feature of the PROPOSE
tion does not contine itself to the pres
ent or immediate future. Our defenses
should be made permanently adequate.
The millennialists to the contrary, the
present is not to be the last war There
will be others, and our size and con-
nections and purposes as nation make
1t not unlikely-unfortuna highly
probable-that we shall have our share
OF the commotion. We are most promi-
nently in the world picture, and could
not if we would escape the obligations
that fact imposes.
Those opposed to a congressional IN
Quiry and an adequate martial equip
ment take one or other of three
grounds, and some take all three.
% The country cannot afford the
outlay. Our expenditures are already
too large. (2) Our army and navy are
large enough for our purposes. which
should remain entirely pacific. (3) As
respects the navy, by the time Great
Britain and Germany get through with
each other on the water. We shall have
the most powerful fighting sea estab-
lishment in the world.
objection No. l is hardly worth at
tention. We can afford, and should pro-
vide, whatever the national safety re-
Quires. There is no economy in neg
lect Of duty. Objection No. voiced
principally by politicians-is contra
dicted by both army and navy experts,
who know what they are talking about.
And objection No. goes contrary to all
the advice of sages, civil, military and
mixed. Never depend on chance in
matter where 1t is in your power, and
appears to be your duty. to provide
definitely for yourself.
There Will be no more important mat
ter presented to Congress at the snort
session, and II snUuId be consiaereu
and oIsposed OF accoroing to lis I'M
portance and the weiI Ano~n solidarity
OF the electorate wnen II comes to the
genera welfare.

The interpretive Reformer.

A doctor came around one day
And said to me, "Old top.
Tobacco you must put away;
It's time for you to stop"
And now I'm yearning for new laws
To put the weed to rout.
I'm wondering If it's Just because
/ had to cut 1t out.
For jingly songs I never cared,
Nor for piano tunes.
Against them stoutly I've declared
For 10. these many moons!
I'm sure that it would be good biz
To lay them all away.
I wonder if the reason Is
That I can't sing or play.
Too oft the things that I propose
As great reforms indeed,
Well calculated to disclose
Respect for public need.
Relate to pleasures which have gone
For me, upon the shelf.
I want to put the kibosh on
What can't use myself.

Tsingtau!
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
Germany's loss of Tsingtau brings to
a close her nearly twenty years colo
nial experiment in the far east. Mil
lions have been expended by the Berlin
and COMMERCIAL base of operations, only
to be lost among the first big war
prizes of the present conflict. But
great as is the loss to Germany the
fact that Japan is responsible for. her
downfall is sure to prove blow to
British prestige in the orient. The
territory to China, while made by Japan
in response to anxious inquiries from
Washington. are couched in the vaguest
for Japan's occupation has been fixed.
China is of course unable to force
Japan to evacuate and until the issue
Of the war is settled and the spoils
distributed we may be sure that the
Japanese will continue their occupation
of Germany's much priced colony; and
probably for an indefinite period there
after.

Selling to Belligerents.
from the Philadelphia Ledger

From The Philadelphia Ledger.
One principle of international law,
as correspondent points out in an
other column. which seems to be def
nitely settled is that neutrals may in
their own country sell to belligerents
whatever belligerents choose to buy.
That right is conditioned on the as
sumption that they do not favor one
belligerent at the expense of an
other, to furnish soldiers and sail
ors, or allow armed ships or expe-
ditions to be fitted out within their ter
ritory. Even so, however, there is
room for an Interpretation of the prin-
ciple In the light of reason. The ac-
cusation of discrimination. for exam
pie, is one that could easily be brought
in many cases. though there were no
intention to discriminate.

Woman's Suffrage to Date.

From the Chicago Heratd.
The results of the election for wom-
ans suffrage were certainly not up
to the hopes and expectations Of its
supporters. But they were also far
from indicating the arrest and ultimate
doom of the movement. as the presi-
dent of the society opposed TO WON
ans suffrage maintains. With the ad-
dition of Montana and Nevada to the
full suffrage list women now have equal
political rights in eleven states. Among
these are states no less important than
Kansas, Oregon, California and Wash
ngton. All Of these went over to woman's
suffrage in 1912. largely as result

partial suffrage states. Women now
have the right to vote for certain
,fficers and on certain questions in
twenty-five other states. And these
partial suffrage states include New
York and Illinois and many other pow
erful commonwealths.

SHERIFF GETS CALDWELL.

BOSTON. Mass, August 22.-When Ray
Caldwell deserted the Yankees in Boston
last Saturday after being fined $500, it
was supposed that he had gone to Buffalo
to Join the Federal League Club of that
city, as he had told several members of
Chances outfit that that was where he
was heading for.
Ray turned up at Harry Lords camp
at Freedom. N. H., last Monday, and as
Lord has been playing professional ball
around his home since he left the White
Sox, Caldwell was a welcome visitor.
Lord had a couple of exhibition games
on for this week with the Madison, N.
H., team, as banner attraction for the
old home week celebration in the little
New Hampshire town, and Lord showed
Ray how he could pick up some easy
money twirling couple of games
The first was scheduled for Wednesday,
and Ray went through all right, but in
the sixth inning Of Thursdays game
there appeared a sheriff on the field with
a warrant for the former Yankee star,
and without any ceremony marched Ray
off,
What it was all about could not be
learned. The sheriff refused to talk or
even say what the warrant charged the
pitcher with, and as Ray quickly disap-
peared nothing could be learned from
him.

TENNIS CHAMPIONS WIN
IN TENNIS DOUBLES

SOUTHAMPTON, l.. l., August e.
Californians again occupied the center OF
the stage in the Meadow Club tennis
tournament yesterday, when the appear
ance of Maurice E. Mclaughlin and
Thomas C. Bundy, national doubles
champions, attracted a. big gallery OF
society men and women to the courts
during the afternoon session. McLough-
lin and Bundy defeated N. w. Niles and
A. S. Dabney in straight sets. So, g.
It was Dabney's second defeat, as early
in the day he lost match to Watson NJ
Washburn, the young Harvard star, in
the semi-final round of the cup singles
64, 6I.
With the completion Of the doubles
match Yesterday afternoon sudden del
uge Of rain put an end to all playing Tor
the day and covered the courts with
water AS the first sprinkling from the
clouds came the last stroke Of the match
was played.
Mclaughlin played at the top of his
game He was as deadly as ever over
head and played for kill every time an
opportunity presented itself. Bundy was
erratic at times scoring on cleVerly e&-
ecuted cross-court shots and then faillns
down on easy returns.
Dabney was apparently affected by
stage fright and was very wild until the
latter stage of the contest, when he Sc
cured better control over his strokes.
Niles was in good shape, playing a
strong game, and had Dabney backed
up his partner the result would have
been much closer, but the combination
was no match for Mclaughlin and Bum
dy, who outvolleyed and outsmashed
them.
The national champions lost the first
game Of the opening set after 1t had
gone to deuce, but quickly got into work
ing order and captured five games in
succession. After Niles and Dabney won
a second game they failed to score an
other ace. Mclaughlin and Bundy won
the first four games of the second set,
allowing their opponents but five points.
They appeared to let up somewhat, and
after the Boston players took two games
the end came quickly.
