decided to keep a promise he made
two months ago to call at the New

the assembly room in the clubhouse
heard him give his ideas of what a

greatest moral forces in the universe"
he said. IF every newspaper were
suppressed tomorrow. crime would in
crease 100 per cent in twenty-four
hours. All the boodlers and grafters
and loan sharps and thugs and the

lee. All the forces of good govern
ment would pray to have the news

planning to make you a big spoke In his
new wheel OF naval defensa
Prompted by the success Of the mill
tsry training camp at Piattsburg, n. Y.
last summer and realizing that small
powerful boats will play an important
part in the navies OF the future. the
Navy Department Is planning naval
"Plattsburg'' for next summer. A tenta-
tive plan for the undertaking was out
lined to local yachtsnen by Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Franklin d.
Roosevelt at the Corinthian Yacht Club
several days ago.
II the present plans OF the department
work out, the United States will have at
the end OF four or i've seasons an army

ledge OF naval warfare to assist their
country in time Of need.

what. principally because il is not
thought likely that Joffre will sscri-
fee the countless thousands of lives
which IL will cost to break through
the triple row of formidable German
defenses even after a tremendous ar
tillery bombardment. but the dangers
OF a winter campaign in Russia re-
main. and behind the Russian forces
now in action are the eight million
troops now being trained by the
Cars generals, which Will be ready
next spring.
1t had been hoped that Russia
would find IL impossible TO provide
the necessary arms and munitions for
these monster armies. but the prog
ressing reorganization of Russian in
dustries and the fact that every
available man in Japan is working on
arms for the Russian allies has COM
pletely frustrated this hope.
Food Prices Increase.
The price of all necessaries of life
continue to rise. and the full effects
OF the English blockade are beginning
to be felt. principally because il is
no longer possible to draw on the
supplies of the Scandinavian countries.
Ever since the beginning OF the war.
these countries have sent foodstuffs
in considerable quantities TO Germany
across the Baltic.
The arrival in the Baltic OF consid-
cradle number OF British submarines,
which succeeded in slipping past the
German patrols. has lately materially al
tered conditions. Besides. the Scandi-
navian countries which demanded and
received, German gold in payment for
their exports and who were tempted by
the big prices offered, have now COM
pletely exhausted their supplies to such
an extent that they are forced to buy
foodstuffs in the United States, and, as
Americans will remember. several car
goes of American bacon were held up
by England IN spite OF the assurances
Of the Danish government that they were
intended for home consumption in Dem
mark and that not a single ton would be
exported to Germany.
An article by prominent Danish
statesman. Count Holstein Ladreborg, In
which he openly warned his countrymen
against Germany. has created a sensa-
