Josephus Talks Sensibly.

The address delivered by Secre-
tary DANIELS at the War College in
Newport yesterday is encouraging.
1t justihes the belief that the doc
trine Of preparedness has found hos
pitable Judgement in official minds.
We may even hope that there will De
no opposition based on fnsse ideals
or mushy sentiment to the serious
proposals Of informed men who ad-
vocate the creation Of an adequate
defensive esta blishment for the pro-
lection OF our coasts.
In particular. the Secretary spoke
Of the lessons to be learned by this
country from the amazing progress
that underwater and aerial craft have
made. The significance Of his refer.
N to the English navy Is enforced
by his pledge that the Department
will keep an open mind for every sug.
gestion Of improvement that may be
brought TO It. His speech amounted
in fact both to an invitation and a
pledge.
When the service does lay its facts
before Congress, as Mr.. DANIELS
urges, its presentation will have the
support Of the powerful influence OF
the civilian administrators.
Mr.. DANIELS has not always ap-
peared to advantage in the discussion
Of naval affairs. Yesterday. how.
ever, he struck the note the Whole
country has waited to hear. In his
declaration for n powerful fleet, fully
equipped for modern war In all It's
phases, JosEPHus DANIELS spoke as
a Secretary OF the United States
Navy ought to speak.

ID. H. SorHnN comes - the Booth
Theatre wsli equipped with plays
which have BY no means exhausted
their popularity. He abandoned
some Of them when he decided with
Miss MARLowE to devote himself to
the theatre. and they will be welcome
again. The Stage Society has given
no intimation as to its artistic plan.
There are still a number Of the Shaw
plays which r practically unknown
here, although the degree OF their
popularity IL always questionable in
this country. So the theatre will
probably not lean too heavily on
SHAW. The Washington Square
Players make their repertory while
the audience waits. 1t is fresh every

this company in finding dramas in

probably be much less than the other

From a frequent and esteemed con
tributor to The SUN we have this
comment on the colossal mistake
which the President made when he
signed the La Toilette shipping bill:
zone OF the disturbing things about
she La Toilette shipping bill. passed at
by the President (aside from the vicious
character OF the bill itself) Is that II
shows Mr.. WILSON a. apparently In the
habit of signing important measures
without first carefully considering their
merits or possible effects. Alarmed, as
Il would appear. at the consequences Of
his yielding to the demands Of the labor
unions, to conserve the so-called labor
vote. ne is now, when the mischief Is
done, considering an investigation OF the
thing he should have thought about be-
1nrs attaching his official signature"
While there Is much justice in this
criticism, we are free to say that Il
would be an infinitely more disturb
ing thing IL President WILSON were

lation and Executive a~cquiescenoe in

r taking the Booth Theatre to try
his fortunes there as an actor and
manager, and the Washington Square
Players planning a continuous sea-
son Of several months, there will be
required an ample supply OF plays to

The managers who DO not attempt
to change the bills In their theatres
until the decline in the interest OF

sufficiently difficult to obtain the
necessary number Of dramas. How
much more intricate will be the
problem Of that theatre manager who
sets out with the avowed intention
Of supplying many plays however the

Tho Appeal TO the Inventors to Wiz

The proposal Of Mr.. H. G. WELLS

A Year Afterward.

On Sunday, June %, 1914, a year

cIs FERDINAND. heir TO the Austro-
Hungarian throne. was killed on the
streets Of Sarajevo, Bosnia. The shot
fred by a boy fanatic, q mere iso-
lated incident in q tense political st
%uation, flashed the powder magazines
Of the Balkans and marked the be-
ginning Of a trail Of red that led over
more than half Of Europe.

historians viii give this assassina-
ton. The persons arrested for &C.
tive participation in the crime were
tried at SaraJevo the youth who fred
the shot and the one who threw the
bomb were spared execution because
both were less than 20 years Of age.
The prosecution charged that the in.
stigator Of the crime, the real crimi-
nal. was Serbia, which had "been in.
spired by another higher mp. the des.
potic empire Of the Gar" Serbia
and her allies claim that the evidence
connecting Serbian onfdals with the
murder was trumped up. that the trial
was merely to Justly Austria's I'M
