Congress and the National Defense

Congress and the National Defense
President Wilson purposes to lay
before Congress very comprehensive
plans for strengthening the national
defense. The details of his plans will
be announced before Congress con-
venes-probably several weeks before
for the administration has EXPRESSED
a desire that the people be fully in
formed in order than an intelligent
public sentiment be formed touching
the question of military preparedness.
A great deal can be done along the
line of national defense improvement
without large increase in the regu-
lar army and perhaps without large
increase in the navy. But nothing
worth while can be accomplished with
out considerable expenditure of
money. Any reasonable cost, how
ever, will be economy in the end.
Chairman Hay of the House mill
tary com mittee has stated that he is
opposed to making any increase in the
army, and Claude Kitchen, who has
been selected by the democratic eau
Gus of the House to succeed Mr.. I'm
derwood as chairman of the ways and
means committee, has made it plain
In published interviews that he is OPP
posed to increasing national defense
appropriations. But after these lead
ers learn just what the administra-
ticn programme is they will probably
change their attitude to the question.
The people are opposed to congress
sional extravaganza but it may be as
sumed that patriotic Americans as a
rule will side with the President ir
his insistence upon Congress doing
what is necessary to be done for army
and navy betterment.

Some New Rail Orders

The steel industry continues active
but it is still dominated by the de-
mand for war munitions.
The feature of the steel market OF
especial interest to the Birmingham
district was the placing of large rail
orders with the Tennessee company
last week, the Louisville and Nashville
purchasing $4,000 tons and the At
lantic Coast Line $4,000 tons. 1t is
understood that other southern lines
will soon place rail orders of good
tonnage with the Tennessee company.
The Ensley mill, where these rails
will be rolled, is sure to keep busy all
through the fall and winter.

company furnishing the window main
tains that the likeness is excellentz1hd
the mayor must pay for it. Judge
Smathers is reported to be bit hazy
on the appearance of the saints, and
quite willing to accept any data that
may be helpful.
Mayor Riddle, it will be remem-
bered, was short while ago credited
with saying that Atlantic City needed
300 chorus girls and so pugilists to
llven up the town. 1t is possible,
therefore, that the mayor may have
more information in regard to the fea-
lures of fairies and angels than ne
has of saints.
Few will envy Judge Smathers his
position in trying to render just de-
cision in the case, which serves to il
lustrate that judicial life is not one
of unmitigated enjoyment. Occasion
ally there bobs up a case where there
is no precedent in the law books, and
the judge has to venture out in new
and untried field.
Very possible Judge Smathers is de-
voting his leisure moments delving
into art, particularly that branch of
painting devoted to depicting the
saints.

from the friction that would arise through
it's cooperation with armies speaking a
different language or having entirely diff

American character and the American
genius for invention would bring to bear
on this war new ideas which the Amer
Jeans would prefer to carry out in their
own way. An American army would start
with an enormous advantage over exist
ing armies. 1t would have knowledge
of the experiences and mistakes of the
last year. and it would bring that invnl-

bear on problems which have befogged
those who have been over-concentra ting

Steering Above the Clouds

The effectiveness of Zeppelins in
making air raids has been tremen-
dously increased by the fact that their
commanders are now able to steer a
course by instruments and remain
above the clouds until they have
reached the point Of attack. This is
q remarkable achievement for the air.
men and has been demonstrated in a
laid on London, when the invaders re-
manned above clouds that hung APP
proximately 1000 feet up until the
moment for launching their projec-
tiles. The airships descended for this
purpose, dropped bombs nearer to the
''heart of London" than ever before
and easily escaped.
Heretofore clouds have baffled the
Zeppelins, but in one year the Ger
mans have overcome this difficulty
and made it an advantage. Screened
by the clouds, these giant aircraft are
safe from detection and instead of
being deferred by fogs, "thick" at
mosphere is desirable. The clouds
which make the airships invisible to
watchers below are also great handi-
cap to aerial patrols, which are pow
eriess to offer any resistance or to
observe the enemy's approach unless
they are also above the clouds and
have an accurate knowledge of the
route the invaders will take. One au.
thority says they must be within 1000
yards of the exact course.
The latest type of Zeppelins are
said to travel 80 miles an hour. Ar
aeroplane travelling 10 miles an hour
has little chance to destroy an airshir
at night after it has arrived. The only
recourse of English airmen is to en-.
deavor to detect the Zeppelins before
they get across the channel, and this
can only be done by guessing the
route they will probably take. There
Is no doubt but that the Germans are
profiting by the lessons Of previous
air raids, and while these attacks
have no military Importance, they arr
becoming increasingly successful
Even the fatuous English censorship
has not been able to keep this fact 9
secret.

BALkANs-NABoTH,s VINEYARD,

From the North American Review.
What lies behind the fever of negotia-
ton that has for weeks been throbbing
through the Balkan peninsula, from
Bucharest to Athens7
The answer is extremely simple. 1t all
turns on a. bit of territory that we used
to call Macedonia. but which one might
more graphically call the 'Naboth's vine
yard" Of the Near East. The passage is
worth quoting; "Ahab spake unto Ma

I may have it for a. garden of herbs, be-
cause it is near unto my house: and ]
will give thee for 1t better vineyard
or If 1t seem good to thee, l will give thee
