HE PRICE OF MAR.

The destruction of the British bat tfeship Formidable and the loss of 800 Of The crew cannot help being accom- panied by widespread regret and sor- TOW, but it will not by any means cause Encouragement to the people of Great Britain, or the directors of it's naval forces. Such disasters are only what must be expected in war and where Great Britain is fnding it necessary to use it's warships in the maintenance of it's policy t is only encourtering the penalty of the risk that it assumes.
 That the Formidable was sixteen wears old does not lessen tho loss to 3~ at Britain and it does not detract from the achievement of the German submarine. That 1t was not q uaore valuable vessel or that 1t carried no larger crew is fortunate, but the fact is, as was str ted by the first lord of the admiralty some time ago that Great Britain is so well equipped with naval vessels that it could still main- tain it's relative supremacy on the water if 1t continued to lose them for q year at the rate they have been picked off in the past.
 Such displays the present strength and the resources for repIenlshment of the British navy. It offers little hope to Germany tlrat the pursuance of it's submarine attacks can so dim finish the fighting ships of Great Bri- tain that it will he. willing to risk an open combat between the navies. Nevertheless it is not to be expected that it will for a moment let up in it's plan of picking off q British shin every chance it gets. There is nc disposition upon the part of either nation to spare the other and before the end of the war many more ships will go down meaning the loss of many lives and millions.

A MODERN GLADIATOR

It was time this persecution stopped. Miss Laura has borne 1t too long al- ready, and she could endure it no more. She did not wish to become the talk of all Madrid.
 Undoubtedly she was running q risk in what she was about to do. To reeIine in the soft cushions of her caleche, cold and unruffled, as her proud studs dashed along the great avenue called the Prado; to look about her with a careless gaze that gave the impression of an untroubled mind, while the eduestrians pointed her out to each other with an almost inper- ceptible nod of the head and with that insinuatins curl to the cornArs of the mouth; to be whirled around the cor ner and encounter the end of & fan suddenly folded into q pointer from among some Tustllng group of man. tiilas, whose inlpertinent whispering one could not escape hearing. f9n- deed!

 Enrico! A bull-hshter! A man whom any one could see for money at the bull-ring! An actor!
 An actor yes. and a superb one. Not of that kind who brings smiles to the face, but one of those who cause you to shiVer. A tTagedian who played but 8 single role, always the same, but what a role,
 There were other toreadors as brave, s.s he. perhaps; but they were brutes, they were vulgar. heavy rustics who had tended cattle as C0wherds before coming here to kill them as toreadors.
 But Enrico was slender elegant, dis tingue: one could not deny that he had the air of gentleman in disguise. He always entered the an1plli theatre, his sword on his arm. as a man of the world enters . drawing-roCn,- his silk hat in his gloved fingers, q flower in his button-h and a rnadrigaI on his lips.
 Moreover, they told 3. story about him-the only one now passed into legend, something about the son of a family ruined by his prodigalities, who, disappearing for years, no one knew whither, suddenly returned from South America to make his debut in the midst of the Royal Circus and set all Madrid afame.

HnUMMYw plREcToRs.

Pointed and right from the shoulder is tic statement in the annual report of Controller of the Currency John Skeltoa Williams when he declares that the directors of national banks who rarely attend meetings and fail to perform the duties expected of them should be removed There can be no question but what he is right and it makes no difference whether he IS talking about 9. national bank. a rail- road system OF any other kind of a corporation in which the interests of many are entrusted to the direction Of a few, with the belief that these few will tend to business.
 The controller doesn't point out any examples. He doesn't have to, for there are examples enough of what comes from the dummy directors to acquaint most every section of the country with the harmful effects of such membership. It is known what the effects are when thoss who are 4n- vested with the authority and respon- sibiIity neglect to respond to the re- quirements of 9 place on directorate, either through non-attendance or the maintenance of $ policy of silence against good Judgment.
 MT. Williams would have the neces- sary legislation passed making impos- sible the reelection of a director who had neglected his duties, except that permission Of the controller be gain ed. His idea is to improve the stan dard of national bank directorates and there are plenty OF communities which will realize that he has opened upon q vital spot. The dummy di- rector played an unenviabie part in the operation of the old New Haven system.

Extensive recognition has been giv- el in this country to the ooportunf- tes existing in South America for the development Of greater trade rela- tons between the two continents. The European situation has upset the bus mess of that continent with South America. to q serious extent and as 1t has siacl1ened there persistent efforts have been made to divert it to this country That the effort has been sue cessful 10 q certain degree is dis closed by the increased traffic. but the movement Is steadily gathering mo- mentr1n, being dependent to a. certain extent upon the completion of the necessary details and adequate bank ing facilities which must go there- with.
 While The South American opportu- mites have been set forth, and the countries in that part of the hen1f- sphere have been crying for improved trade relations with this country. i'm pforing us fin fact to come to their relief after a'bandonmen by Europe perhaps the most significant disolav of actually improved relations is the floating Of a joan of S15. .G00, 600 in tn2s country by the Argentine Repub- lie Ordinarily such transaction would have been cons sunmated in England and it is the first of the kind to come to this country, a fact which. while indicative Of the recognf- tion or a good port in a storm also means that the ice is broken for more neigllboriy relations If the war in Eu1ope 79 going to force US into bet ter touch with South America and South America is anxious to cultivate closer relationship there should be no reason why the United States should not do its part and profit thereby,
