PORTUGAL NAMES
 ANEW PRESIDENT
Barnadino Machado Sup- ported by Two Principal
 Parties

Lisbon, August s.-(via Paris. August ', 2:25 a. m.)-Barnardino Machado was elected by Congress today President of the Republic of Portugal.
 Senhor Machado, who was supported by the two principal parties, was elected on the third ballot by a majority of 134 of the a7s members present.
 The new President is popular with all classes in Portugal and although large crowds assembled outside the chamber to await the action of Parliament, his election generally was considered cer- tainty.
 Senhor Machado has been prominent for years in the public life of Portugal. hav- ing served his country as premier. pro- visional minister of foreign affairs, min ister of the interior, and minister to Bra gil. He has been considered the foremost man in the republican party, and before the overthrow of the monarchy was re- garded as the logical choice of that party for the distinguished presidency. In Jan uary, 1908, he was accused of conspiracy against the Crown, but the charges were
 
 When King Manuel II was dethroned and the republic proclaimed on october 3. 1910. after a short revolution, Senhor Machado was appointed minister of for eign affairs, formed by the provisional government The following year he was a candidate for the presidency, but not withstanding his prominence, was de- feated by Dr. Manual Arriaga, whom he now will succeed.
 Four months after his defeat he was appointed minister to Brazil. In Febru- ary, 1914 he was asked to form a new cabinet and was successful in his efforts. but he and his cabinet ministers resigned 10 months later.
 The new President, who is 65 years of age, formerly was professor of phios- ophy in Coimbre university, but was busted because he joined the anti-clerical movement He. Is an excellent speaker and has been regarded as strongly pro- British
 One of the interesting stories regard Ing Senhor Machado Is that he served as Portuguese minister to Washington in 1900 and 1901 under the name of Marquis De Santo Thyrso but was recalled be- cause he made a premature announcement of President McKinleys death, which re- suited in Lisbon sending messages of condolence four or five days before the President died. After his recall, accord ing to the story, he dropped the title, which was of papal origin, and resumed his family name.
 The President of the Republic is elected by joint vote of both chambers of Par lament for term of four years and can not be reelected.

THE WHY OF THE GOOsEsTEp

From the Boston Herald.
How that strange way of marching
known to the Germans as the Gaense-
iparsch and to their amused ncignpors
as the goosestep. still outliyes ri1iculc
deserves moments thought The step
has not survived as merely an ancient
custom. Germans cherish old WAYS. but
not to the hurt of their armies. Nor
mas IL survived because the Germans
cannot see the grotesqueness of it, A
people that can put out such papers as
the Fliegende Blaetter can be relied on
to see the funny side of anything short
or actual war. Why then should a ma
ton that fines an infantryman for lack
ing one hobnail in one shoe teach every
soldier even with special ladder cxer-
clses In every barrack yard, a purely
formal step, laDorious, ludicrous, I'M
natural?
The reason lies in a practical psy-
cholcgy. The world had not waited for
theorists like Professor James to tell
u now emotion follows the bodily state
and how the minds tone and action
take measure from the body's attitude
and tension; for centuries, observers
have known that courage rises with
muscular effort and that mental poise
gloWs steady as breathing deepens. The
same reason then that led our own drill
plasters. four and five generations ago,
to direct particularly that the soldier
stand straight and firm upon his feet
Ia today the reason why the German
officers train their soldiers in these leg
movements with knees straight or pref
erably bent back The use of the I'M
flexed leg in the goosestep of parade
and salute is but incidental; the main
purpose of the step Is to bring into
consciousness and under immediate
control the soldiers physical support
The general who told his wapbling
legs that they would shake still harder
If they knew where he was taking
Thorn illustrated the lack of just that
bodily team play that the German drill
seeks first of all. The exaggerated
goosestep will hold it's own so long as
German officers believe that conscious
ly firm knees have wholesome effect
on the attacking soldiers state oil
mind.

Adequate Coast Defense

The Endorsement of the Chamberlain
hi, providing for increases in the
strength of the coast artillery corps
.hould be echoed by every American
who does not wish to see the shores
Of his country at the mercy OF a posi-
BILE invader. -
Since the outbreak of the European
war there has been considerable dis
cussion as to the military preparedness
Of the United States and it has been
charged by the pacificists that this
country has figuratively lost It's heao
while contemplating the awful strug-
gle across the water.
There has been constant agltatlon
for an increase of the army and OF
the navy and direful predictions Oh
what would happen were this country
to become involved in a war with a
first class power. The Age-Herald
has Endorsed neither militarist move
ment nor that for a monster navy,
although it believes that the key to
the situation on this continent lies
in the navy; but it does approve OF
the proposal for more adequate coast
defenses.
It has been argued, and justly, that
treat ornaments and millions Of
trained soldiers do not make for peace,
but in this instance such an accusa-
ton cannot be flung. Adequate coast
defenses could never involve this
country in armed conflict. They serve
on the contrary but to give the peo-
pie feeling of security as one inside
. stout house with storm raging out
side.
It is proposed to add to the coast
artillery corps twelve colonies, twelve
lieutenant colonels, forty majors, one
hundred and seventy-four captains,
one hundred and eighty-seven first
heutenants, a like number of second
iieutenants, a corresponding quota of
noncommissioned officers and seven
thousand, seven hundred and sixty
two privates. This would bring the
total strength of the corps up to thirty
thousand men.
When it is considered that the Uni
ted States has a greater coast line
than any other country in the world
and consequently more territory to
protect this force is certainly none too
large.

liberal giver. He made the founding

there were men worth $1,0OO,OO0 in the

that many of the very rich have not
only been generous in their benefac-

gifts with good judgment. On account
of the European war this years bene-

as far as the American gifts are con-
cerned-and they are usually the most
numerous-the total will make a
splendid showing.

Despite the untoward events of 1914

Steady Business Recovery

With the second week in January
comes a marked improvement in bust
ness. Conditions for substantial re-
covery became favorable several weeks
ago.
The new federal bank system was
put into operation, and that was of
far reaching benefit. 1t put an end to
tight money-money stringency in
crop moving periods and money strin-
gency in January. The decision of the
interstate commerce commission au-
thorizing the eastern railroads to adj
vance freight rates was directly slim
ulating to the industrial world.
The enormous demand from Europe
for American grain has put prosperity
in full swing in the west, and the
$135, 900, 900 loan fund has added sta
bility to southern conditions. These
and other factors have had a most
excellent effect on the general bust
ness situation.
1t was predicted that the new year
would witness a return of prosperity,
and that forecast is now being fully
justified. 1t will probably be several
months yet before every industry in
every part of the country will be oper-
ated at its full capacity, but that the
manufacturing interests and all other
interests will become normal during
this year is not doubted.
