1t Is possible that the German naval

Could the War Re Won By Drunken
Soldiers?

Mrs. HARRIoT STANTON BLATcH, the
EQUAL suffrage leader, who has Just
come back from England, declares
that Miss JANE Adams was wrong
when she reported on her return
from abroad that British and French
soldiers were made drunk before 60
Ding into battle. That" says Mrs.
BATCH, as not true. 1t Is true that
whlskey and other stlmulants are
given TO the soldiers to prepare them
for the fight in the same way that
stimulants are given to horses before
a race. The reason for this is that
no sane man wants to be killed, or
really wants to fight, 40 he must he

Both these worthy women are right
n either is right. They mean the
same thing. I,ut their logic is as
faulty as their knowledge Of soldiers
at the front is inadequate. II has not

France or Germany cannot he saved

and JoFFRE and FRENCH prefer to
have sober men do their fighting. As
for Tommy Atkins and Fritz and

they charge the enemy, since life may
depend upon deXterity and GOODNESS

men who are drunk cannot shoot

Transit In Leisure.

There seems at first thought to be
something anomalous in the proposed
extension Of bus transportation serv-
ice in Manhattan streets while many
miles Of them are being tunnelled for
great extensions Of subway transpOr-
tation, and when the third tracking
Of miles Of elevated roads is nearing
its completion.
Yet the proposed bus lines will BE-
welcomed not only because Of the
actual need Of them as added travel
facilities, II not to-day then to-mor-
row. but also welcome by thousands
who prefer to DO their urban travel
ling by a service characterizing an
older day. Among the millions who
make up the constantly moving army
OF Manhattanites there is a consid.
cradle number not spurred by the ne.
cessity Of hurry, whose affairs of bust.
ness or recreation permit the enjoy
ment Of travel without the obligation
Of stepping lively. These enviable
ones will rejoice in the return Of this

1904 for Erie, Champlain and Oswego

and Seneca Canal branch: $19. 1000. 900
in 1911 for terminals: Ss.S64.000 In
1915 to validate existing contracts.
The State is obligated to pay practi-
cally all of these appropriations. and
their total would give the cost Of the

This year there IL a proposition to

project and $3.S54,o 900 is to be returned
