WILL BELIBERAL
Kansas Republicans Will Make
Presidential Concessions.
Hope to Avoid Serious Split
Over National Issues.

Kansas Republicans of both factions
will in 1916 make concessions in the
selection of a presidential candidate
That is the verdict of the political lead
ers and observers of both factions.
Progressive followers have abandoned
their hope to dictate a radical new
hope Republican, while the conserva-
tives will accept a forward looking
leader and smile as they do it.
Under that condition, there is a
hope in both factions that serious
split in the selection of a delegation
can be avoided. A split cannot well
profit either faction, it is urged. Neith-
er faction is at this time making Sc
rious argument for more than a fifty
fifty division of the delegation. The
Bristow fight of a few months ago for
an instructed delegation has blown a
tire and Kansas will probably accept
the suggestion made last spring by
Senator Charles Curtis for a free dele
cation in the convention.
Just whom Kansas Republicans may
Do

strange that so many Englishmen,
who ordinarily have pretty accurate
vision of the imperial position, are
unable to understand the necessity
of the Levantine efforts their gov
crnment is putting forth. To win
at Constantinople would have made
Britain almost impregnahle as
against Germany. To have Germany
capture that city would be to
strengthen the German hand as al
most no other victory could do.
1t is easy to believe that Berlin,
once entrenched in Constantinople,
will be ready to talk of peace. BUTT is
just as easy to understand that Brit

mined to keep on fighting. German
victory in the Balkan drive, far from
bringing peace in sight, will be the
signal for prolongation of the strug-

MR.. KITCHlN AND DEFENSE

The President has invited the
Democratic floor leader of the next
House to discuss national defense.
Mr.. Kitchin is understood to favor
adequate national defense, but the
question with him seems to be the
definition Of the word adequate.
He believes a large number of sub
marines would afford all protection
needed. The differences of opinion
are said to relate chiefly to the naval
building program.
1t may be true that the American
navy, increasing at its present rate,
and enlarged by swift, powerful sub
marines, with an aerial auxiliary,
could prevent the Decentralization of
a foreign army and that our natural
resources would supply our internal
needs; but to be bottled up between
Atlantic and Pacific, would afford a
sorry sight of American power for
the world to behold, and damage
American prestige irreparably.
America must wage an offensive
warfare, once war is elected. We
need do more than put ourselves
in such a position that enemy fleets
may sweep our commerce from the
seas. We need an adequate navy to
protect our commerce as well as our
shores. Without strong squadrons
Hawaii and Manila might be
snatched from US in day. Without
strong American fleets, an enemy
might land an army on either side
of the Panama Canal for a land at.
tack upon the waterway, and once
that were wrecked or captured, the
strength of our naval force in either
sea would be reduced one-half, fol
the canal serves to unity our navy.
Mr.. Kitchin is known TO be jeal
Gus of the preroCatives Of the legis
lative branch, and impatient of any
coercive force except directly from
the people. He followed the die
tates of his own conscience on th'
repeal of the free tolls provision
But the defense issue is not per
sonal, or even political; it is non
partisan and national, and if ade
euate defense should impose upol
the Ways and Means Committee tn
necessity of providing additiona
: revenue, that would be merely al
incident.
Senator Kern and Congressma,
Hay have met the President an
come away convinced. 1t may b
that the President is in possession
of facts impolitic to make public
and will acquaint Mr.. Kitchin wit
them. 1t would seem, with tn
events transpiring across the sea
clearly in our vision, no other argu
ment is needed to convince anyon
of the urgency of national defense
The cold fact of unpreparednes
: must be faced.
