Gently perfected in the government

Just what will be the speed of the
new battle cruisers has not yet been
determined. 1t is understood that when
Secretary Daniels announced that the
battle cruisers which are TO be recon-
mended in his program should have a
speed of thirty-five knots he did it on
the assumption that the English and
German battle cruisers has made thirty
three and thirty-four knots per hour.
Recent Investigations tend to discredit
these reports and il is possible that a
lower rate of speed will be specified
in the plans for the new battle cruis-
ers. The idea of the Secretary is to
have as fast or faster ships than any
the luxury OF battle cruisers.

Helpful Work In the South.

Each year the report of Booker Washington
principal of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial
Institute, of Alabama, reveals something practi-
cal accomplished for the benefit of the colored
people of the South, aside from the actual work
at the institute itself. In the past year special
effort was put forth by the principal and his as
sociates to induce the people to plant something
to eat" to diversity their crops. An extensive
campaign undertaken for this purpose, in
spired of course by the effect of the war on the
price OF cotton, a crop upon which the majority
of the small farmers had long been accustomed
to depend for all their needs. The work of the
institute in this direction has been the salvation
of large numbers of toilers in the farming COM
munities though the report states mpdcstly that
"the gratitude OF the white and black people for
our efforts in this regard has been most en-
phatic." If some of our leading calamity howl
ers had followed the course of Booker Washing
ton instead OF going about predicting ruin for
the South as the result of lower prices OF cotton
they would have served their people better.
Another important project undertaken by
Tuskegee jointly with Hampton Institute was the
establishing OF national health week." for the
purpose OF teaching sanitation, bringing about bet
ter health conditions and reducing the death rate
among the ten millions of coorcd population.
which one year reached as high as 80 per 900.
This is movement deserving the support of the
members OF both races as promising mutual bene-
fits
These are only two of the MANY activities OF
the institute during the year, but they serve TO
illustrate the splendid work being done under the
direction of the man who long ago earned recog-
milton a practical leader of his race

SAGE CASE ARGUED.
Supreme Court Asked to Decide Land
Appraisal Controversy.

Argument was begun before the United
States Supreme Court yesterday in the
case OF the city of New York VS.. William
Sage. arising out of the controversy over
the method of assessing valuations of
lands acquired by the city for reservoir
purposes ~ the construction of the
Ashokan dam.
The estimated cost of the project is
approximately s2O0. oOo Oo6. and when COM
pleted the reservoir will have d capacity
Of 20O. OCc, O00.C60 gallons. The question at
issue Is whether the land taken by the
city shall be appraised at its simple
realty value. or whether its special
adapta bility for use as reservoir shall
also be considered in arriving at a rate
OF compensation to the owners.
The land owners contend that they
should be given advantage 90 the special
;,dapta bIlity OF the land for the purposes
Of the city. taking the position that q
simple realty valuation Is no adequate
compensation. Upon the adjustment of
this question will depend the cost of the
land to be used in connection with the
reservoir project

Too Much for Advice.

Perhaps Congress, with the strong support of
the people, will decide that other large expenses
in connection with the execution of national de-
tense plans must be met before an appropriation
OF S5ooo,ooo for building and from S2,5ooooo to
100000 annually for expenses can be fairly de-
manded by Mr.. Daniels new Naval Advisory
Board. We had somehow, derived the idea, from
tho information officially supplied hitherto con-
corning this adjunct of the navy, that it
would cost practically nothing. To pay out $1,000,
600 now and about 100000 year hereafter
would be rash in view of the large cost of the
ships building, soon to be built, and
the great increase in the naval appropriations
which will be required to pay the wages OF $4,000
more men who needed to man the ships.
The navy needs guns, too, and more am
muntion, and they must be supplied without need
less delay. The services OF Mr. Daniels unpaid
advisory board are as yet largely experimental.
Perhaps its aid to the navy may turn out to be
very valuable, perhaps not. Anyhow, until we
know more about what its members are going
to do that cannot be done just as well by trained
officers of the navy, they ought to be content to
receive nothing more from the Treasury than
what is required To nav their exDenses.-New
York Times.

What will be the attitude of the Ma
tional Guard toward the administrations
army legislative program may be re-
fiected at the meeting OF the national
militia board and the meeting OF the
executive committee of the National
Guard Association, which will b. held
al Washington Friday. The national
militia board is the Official organization.
and its Recommendations will have an
official status when they are made to the
Secretary of War. The executive COM
mittee OF the National Guard Associa-
ton will report to the annual meeting
of the association, which is to be held
at San Francisco next month
Disquieting reports have reached the
National Guard which make the or
sanized militia apprehensive as to the
effect that the creation Of a continental
army will have upon the State troops.
While they are in the city the National
Guard officers will probably ask the Sec
rotary for a definite statement as to the
status of the militia under the new
policy of the department. National
Guard officers have declared that they
are not opposed to the creation of the
continental army provided that II does
not interfere with the development of
the militia.
Some OF the National Guard officers
have advanced plan by which the
militia should be FederaliZed and made
a nucleus for a continental army. They
insist that there should he only two
forces maintained in the country. One.
II is argued. should consist Of the reSu-
lar army. which should be maintained
at its present high state of training
The other should consist Of n force of
citizen soldiers. which could be called
out as a reserve army for the regular
troops
II is not known whether the militia
board will take any action upon this
vital question. but il is assured that it
will come up for consideration at the
meeting of the National Guard Asso-
citation in San Francisco. The purpose
Of calling a meeting OF the executive
committee OF the association at WASH
ington at this time is to obtain a def
mite statement from the Secretary Of
War, upon which the associs ton can
take action when 1t convenes in San
Francisco.
Reports have reached the War De-
partment of the phenomenal work of
