tude Of being at least tacitly an as
pirant to the Presidency, and to a
man Of his sensibilities about the
proprieties of public service that
would mean that he ought to resign
from the Supreme Bench. It may
very we'll be realized, by those who
have observed his public career, that
he is the sort of man who would as
sumo this attitude.
A judicial position, particularly
on the highest bench in the land, is
one that demands just this kind of
department. But on the other hand
1t is not quite possible to assume
that because man is on even the
Supreme Court, he is positively
withdrawn from consideration for
political Office. There is still one
proceeding that could, and doubtless
would, induce Mr.. Justice Hughes to
recognize public mans duty to
give public service demanded of him.
If the Republican national conven-
tion should nominate him, willy nilly,
he would be under an obligation of
service that could hardly be avoided
on the strength Of any argument
consistent with entire devotion to
the public interest. It is quite pos
sible that Mr.. Hughes insistence on
the strictest good manners might
strengthen rather than weaken. the
chance Of his nomination for Presi-
dent; and bring that nomination in
conditions that would make it i'm
possible for him. to refuse. On the
other hand, the withdrawal of his
name from a primary ticket, at his
own demand, is likely to discourage
consideration Of his availability.
Presidential nominations are prone
to be sought, rather than to seek,
and to 60 to the seekers. Perhaps
the Office seeking the man, in such a
case, would be more edifying; but
the fact is that the Presidency is
like pretty nearly everything else in
this world; it goes to him who goes
after il.

THE BETTER FOOTBALL

With more idols shattered, tradi-
tions upset and precedents smashed
football is approaching the end of ono
Of the most absorbingly interesting
campaigns in its history. While
baseball closed season that showed
public interest at the lowest ebb,
football has Joined golf and tennis
in engaging more attention, from
players and spectators standpoint,
than at any past time.
Unquestionably the largest single
factor in causing such widespread
attention to the gridiron has been
the gradual evolution that started
with the radical revision Of the rules
in 1909. The public's demand for q
n and safer game was met by
rule makers in 50 tinkering the

mixing the open with the closed

be made with reasonable degree of

with every indication of permanency

STEEL AMERICAS DE.r ENSi'
Uninterrupted supply should lie f"-
surcd by Protecting Eastern states.

Ability to produce steel for battle
ships, submarines. guns, and shells Is
one of the best of the assets OF the
United States in the event of war,
says the Providence Journal Ho'o
many Americans realize that our steel
industry has II capacity equal to that
of Great Britain, Germany, and France an ooo u
our annual production is about S5,oOo,ooo
tons. That Of Germany is 2O,OOO,OOO tons.
anG Great Britain's is estimated at
10000 900. France Is not a large pro-
ducer Of steel And In time of mergenCy
the output of American steel mills
doubtless could be greatly increased.
These figures "uggest another line OF
thought-the Importance of insuring an
uninterrupted supply of steel by pro-
tecting the Eastern States against m
vasion. A navy which commands the
respect of foreign nations is indispen-
sable. The most effective types OF
battleships, cruisers, and undersea
fighters should be provided at once.
Defense of coast cities Is not the only
point to be considered-the inland steel
centers must enter into all comprehen-
sive plans Of defense.

EARL KITcnRNeR's MISSION


member Of it's cabinet, Denys
Cochin, to Athens to urge upon King
Constantine the French view of
Greece's duty, and likewise her in
terest in the present Balkan stu
alton. Cochin was picked for the
service, it Is understood, because he
has long been known as a foremost
advocate Of Hellenic rights and as
pirations in the Near East. His per-
sonality made strong appeal to the
Greek people, and it is reported that
he was cheered repeatedly on his ap-
pearances in public places. 1t was
given to him to make the senti-
mental appeal, and he seems to have
made It effectively.
Immediately following Cochin
came Kitchener, the soldier: the
representative Of the mailed fist al
tentative; agent Of iron-clad author
ity. Kitchener, 1t may be believed,
did not waste many Of his words in
sentimentality. 1t was for him to
make the Greek government fear, as
1t had been for Cochin to win the
Greek peoples sentiments and SYM
pathies.
What passed between King Con-
stantine and Skouloudis, his uncon-
stitutional premier, is not disclosed.
But the Hellenic nation is plainly
getting into a state of mind. 1t
feels the burden of war only less
onerous than if It were actually
fighting; and 1t will feel that burden
heavier than ever if the allies are
forced to carry out their threat of
a commercial and economic block
ade Of the country, for the enforce
ment Of which they have overwhelm-
ing means ready to hand. The Greek
people have nothing to hope from a
Germanic triumph, which means the
rescue Of, the Turk; rather, they
have everything to lose. No promise
from Berlin can be very engaging
In view Of the plain position of
Near Eastern affairs. Either the
Turk is to go, or he is to be rein
stated in all his unspeakableness,
under the suzerainty of power
from which there must be little hope
of aid in keeping him within bounds
of decency. The hour of destiny has
sounded for Greece, and Greece finds
her hands shackled by hostile dy-
nasty. The iron fist displayed by
Kitchener may shake the country
out of its lethargy; perhaps may
throttle the government that has be-
trayed the nation. But if it is to be
the event, there must be prompt ac'
ton. Time passes. Serbia is we'll.
nigh at her end, another Poland, an,

queror, betrayed by her ally, nobly

MANHATTAN LOSES VOTERS.
Brooklyn Grows From shifting Tides
of POpulntIOM.

brooklyn Is profiting from the shift
Ing tide OF population. The Ncto York
J,msc says:
The registration shows that Brooklyn
has gained about twice as many voters
as Manhattan has lost within a year II
tho comparison Is extended further

ough Is seen to be constant and grow

tlon is now only so'" 5000 and soon
must disappear.
There is no mystcry about It. The
opening of the Fourth avenue Brook
lym subway explains 1t. One public
school along the line shows this year a
growth OF Sc per cent in enrolment,
corresponding to an increase of 100 fam
lilies. That Is the sort OF growth which
shows In the census and the polling
booths. Manhattan's decrease In regis
tration is accompanied by a growth of
another sort. 1t Is useless to bewail
the shifting tides of population, which
the city Is spending hundreds of mil
lions to promote. but It Is well to make
n note of them.

Equally Important Parts.
II is explained, on the other side. that
there Is no desire to provide general
publicity for diplomatic secrets. The
point. II seems. Is that under our sys-
TEN of government the legislative and
the executive branches have equally i'm
portant parts In dealing with these re-
lntions The President and his chief
of state can handle diplomatic matters
hut IL their diplomatic discussions lead
to the point where "A declaration Of wal

They can take the necessary measures
for defense OF the country: they can
rcpel attack: but they may not declare
war That Is the prerogative OF the
Congress, and the Presidential veto ap'
plies to II.
Consequently. II Is argued. there is the
utmost necessity that Congress. or al
least members of its committees or
foreign relations. should be kent cur

tail Of all diplomatic relationships. be-
cause at any time It might become
necessary for Congress to act on a mat
