A Eo.RLORN HOPE,

Despite the rebuke that has been administered by those of his party President Wilson is as determined as ever that the ship purchase bill must go through in some form.

MAN oR pIsMANTLE.

Secretary Garrison doesn't mince matters any and he doesn't take any different position from what he has throughout the session or from the recommendations in his report, when he declares in a communication to Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the senate military committee that con- gress should give us men or disrnan- tie the coast defenses."
 The secretary of war takes a sen sible view of the situation when he maintains that inasmuch as the gov ernnlent has spent $t60,000,000 in coast defenses it should have men who have been trained to handle them and the government is not in that posi- ton today. There is training required there the same as upon the battle ships and that training is not to be secured on the spur of the moment.
 The agitation which was started by Congressman Gardner has stirred up g. greater interest in the courtry's actual state of preparation than exist ed before. The presentation of some of the shortcomings in both army and navy indicates that there are oppor- tunities for improving the protection against the event of war which are duF4SdplS to ldAe even InouSh thSFe IS not even the sernblance of a war cloud upon the horizon and none ex- pected. Secretary Garrison has been one member of the cabinet who real izes the situation and has the cour- age to stand back of his convictions, It is not a matter Of partisanship and he does not intend to make 1t so and as he says nothing is more useless than a lot of coast defenses without train ed men to handle them. except it be a like situation in the operation of naval vessels.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

Soumania, one of those outlying European countries of uncertain mil itary intent these days, whose en- trance into the great war is being freely predicted and who would bring into the struggle an army and re- sources of mulch greater significance than is commonly understood, is DOT trayed in a study for the National Geographic Society, prepared by Fred erick Moore, in which considerable historic and economic light is thrown upon the motives behind this little Kingdoms foreign policies.
 ROumanl2, the writer shows, has no strong ties of international friendship It lies directly across the path of Rus sian progress southward. and more over has consistently refused to com init itself to the protection of Rus sian influence" It remained aIoof from the Balkan alliance which push ed the Turk further back toward his Asiatic source While, MT. Moore eN- plains, since the days of the Russo Turkish War of 1877, when Rouman- iaRs crossed the Danube and aided the Russians in driving the Turks out of the province of Bulgaria. there has been peace, there has not been much good feeling between the Roumaniaus and the Rulsarians. And recently even this thin peace was broken.
 These countries have a long stretch of mutual border They are both fill ed with a spirit of intense natiouaIism "a spirit general in the Balkans, new ly awakened and newly become anbi- tious- It so follows that each land is as suspicious as 1t is jealous of the other. Moreover, AIr. Moore points out, q general fever for territorial ex- panion has burned wildly through the Balkan countries, and Roumania has contracted this fever along with her neighbors.
 So it happens that Roumania is is- olated with its ambitions the more is o!ated, the writer explains, as it's peo- pie do not feel themselves to be of common blood with their fellow peo- pies on the peninsula, but love to think of themselves IS heritofs of pure Latin blood and of the glorious traditions of Old Rome. The Rou- mapians are the children. of the Ro- mans who conquered the ancient Da- clans, lntermarrted with them, and gave them the Latin language, which has continued, with few variations, to this day, So the Roumanians have no place in the light bonds of -Slav- ism which maintain a degree of cous- inly sympathy between Russia and the Balkan Slavs.
 Bulgaria has memories of it's pro vince, Silistrla, newly lost to Rou- mama to keep its enmity alive and WatchfuL When Bulgaria fell out With her former allies SerVia and Greece, at the conclusion of the war with the Ottoman, Rouulauia added her armies to the scales, and, al lit tie cost in blood and money, was able to demand the rich province for her own The friendship between Rou- mama and Greece has never been warm, while, to make it's diplomatic position still less one to be easily fore seen in the present question, it's king IS a merber Of 9, princely German family Hohensollern-a -aiGmarigen

SlLENeER ON FIREARMS.

..- The bringing into use of the ailencer for the murder Of three members of l1is family and the suicide of himself by a New York man calls attention in 9. striking way to the possibilities of such 9 noiseless weapon in the com mission of crimes. When it is realized that it was possible to fire four rifle shots in 2, New York apartment house without even disturbing other members of the household it can be readily un- 4erstood what demonstration has been made for those who may be in Sifned to commit crime and cover UT their tracks.
 / Sllencers are nothing new. It has simply been brought into a new use Ind when it Is realized how waves % crime start and eeinfiuenced if B not surprising that the authorities ire fearful of what may result, or that Police Commissioner Woods is anx- bus to have the sale of such attach plents prohibited. When 1t is de- clared that 85 per cent. of crimes are detected from the gunshot reports II Qen be understood what 8. handicap 4 S1lencer places upon such aid. The slIencer removes the telltaIe noise and thereby oVerconles one of the alarm signals which tends to check the use o9 the fire arm, and makes it the lead CT among murder devices.
 While New York authorities are in- 5erested in prohibiting the sale of such a71 appliance, 1t would amount to lit tle or nothing unless in recognition of the danger involved similar action was taken by other states. It would be useless to stop the sale there when adjoining states offer no restriction to such safe.

srRIKING AT CANADA.

It is not so very long since Canada felt the need of placing extra guards along the border for protection against attacks which it was believed would be attempted upon the dominion, as a, part of tho British empire by Ger mans or German eynpat11izers. That 1t was Justified in its belief will he claimed as the result of the attempt by a self proclaimed German ohicer to blow up the international railroad uridg5 at Yanceboro.
 Whether, however, that was the act of fanatic or the outcome of q well studied plot to bring the war home fo Canada remains to be determined,
 but from the methods employed, the failure to make a success of an easy s41udertaking and the fact that it in Evolved United States interests, there is ground for the belief. for the present ret least thatsit was the act of an in- gdividuaI who is more or less ire ssponsib1e,

NO CAUSE FOR HASTE,

Even friends of the Jones bill. inc measure which promises so much and actually gives so little to the Filipinos recognize the need of rebuilding it. Its inconsistencies have been brought to light during the hearings which have been held thereon and the wisdom of following q sensible course relative to such changes as are made concern ing the government in the islands and to the extension of self government is recognized.
 Amendments winch arc made to such an important measure deserve as. much study as did the original bill. It is a matter in which the policy of slow but sure is bound to gain the best results and such is the view Of the New York Times when it says:
 The people Of the Philippines have reason to know that this country in tends to deal fairly with them, to heIp them m every possible way to prepare themselves for elf-government, to build up their industries for their own benefit. The reappearance in the United States senate at this late hour Of the session, of the Jones bill laden with new amendments, is greatly. to be regretted. With the other work that congress must do in this short month, there will be no time for serious con- s1deratton of the amendments. What ever rev merit the bill may possess in it's present form, the attempt to eress 1t to passage in this hasty way is most unwise."
 There may be cases where delays are dangerous but this is an instance where delay is i'll the interest of safety. and the best results.

method of determining the fitness of the immigrant.
 From the protests that had been made against the bill and the un- American policy involved he was safe in his statements. He has just as good ground, however, for arriving at the same conclusion in regard to the ship purchase bill. It is purely an admin istration measure. It does not rep resent the desire of the people of the country and there is no expression to show that it does. On the contrary there is a flood of protests against the proposed bill from all sections of the country, because of it's many harm ful features, which, with their own recognition of it's dangerous character, justifes the attitude of the opposition. It is headed towards a wise defeat.

 The first damsel was a healthy, pleasant looking young woman and she put on me a concoction that was built last fall and therefore marked down at this date.
