UNSATISFACTORY ExPLANA.
TIONS,

1t is impossible for this government
to view the explanations which Ber-
lin is offering for the sinking of the
Arabic and the attack upon the Or
duna with any degree of satisfaction
From the facts as furnished by both
sides, the officers of the British yes
sells and the German submarine COM
manders, no other conclusion can be
reached than that Germany is side
stepping. 1t is trying to support its
commanders who in each instance
have violated what it has been given
this country to understand is against
the orders of the imperial German
government, and yet there is no dis
avowal of such acts, and every sue
ceeding case presents a repetition of
the previous ones.
l2y declaring that orders had been
given to it's submarines not to attack
liners without warning and to give
proper protection to the lives of the
passengers and crews, unless the un-
derwater boats were attacked or in
danger of it, some reform was expect
ed No change follows. however. I'm
justified attacks continue, ships are
sunk without warning and lives are
taken as the result and the only ex-
PLANTATION Germany gives for such fail
ure to observe orders is that they were
unintentional acts, mistakes or errors

Germany thus stands in the position
Of promising to do one thing and act

SAFEGUARDING HEALrH.

That the board Of health or any or
ganization, which has for one of it's
purposes the condemning of food which
Is unfit for consumption, has plenty
of work to do can be fully realized
and that it is doing It is shown by
the report of the Massachusetts board
for July, during which period it found
ard condemned over eight tons of
meat, poultry, turkeys, fish and but
ter.
The greater part of this food was
condemned because it had decomposed,
although certain portions had soured,
become tainted cor mouldy and there
fore unfit for use. Such articles were
found in cold storage and while 1t
was not being offered for sale at the
time, the very fact that it was being
kept under such conditions leads only
to the conclusion that had it not been
found and ordered destroyed it would
in time have been made use of.
What this means as a protection
to the health of the people of that
commonwealth can be readily appre-
ciated. 1t becomes evident that the
board is alive to it's responsibilities
and that it is rendering a most val
liable public service. Cold storage Is
most valuable means of protectins
foodstuffs from spelling, especially
during the warm months. but there
can never be a federation OF conditions
which are detrimental to public health

ANOTHER DEFENSE CHAMPION.

One of the men of national prom
inence who has just come out for ade
quate preparations for national de-
Tense is ex-senator Burton of Ohio.
He is convinced of the undesirability
of militarism, but he believes that the
greatest assurance against it lies IN
adequate defense by land and sea.
This is a view which many have
taken for long time and it is sig
nif1cant fact that despite the desira-
bility Of peace and the efforts which
are constantly being made for 1t, that
the former senator, who is also the
president Of the American Peace So
ciety, should take such a common
sense view of the situation. 1t is diff
cult to believe that he has undergone
any great change of mind, however,
for proper preparation has always been
recognized as one of the greatest ar
/ guments for peace.
| There is nothing in Mr.. Burton's at
titude which would indicate that he is
an advocate of large expenditures sim
| ply foB the purpose of converting
money into naval vessels and FORTH
| cations for the political benefit which
might result. He stood out too strong
/ Iy against such a waste In the last
session of congress In fighting the
1 pork BARREL" since it was due to his
| work in a large degree that big slices
i were cut out of the rivers and har-
bors and public building appropria-
ton bills, for the safeguarding of the
country's finances.
That the country needs adequate de-
Tense. and has not got 1t, is a well
understood fact, and Mr.. Burton is
not the first to recognize the necessity
Of proper consideration and action. He
champions an important cause.

Stories of the War
Batter Paw for Midshipmen.


Pleas for better payment for mid
shipmen appear frequently in the Eng
hsh newspapers. for 1t is objected that
a lad exposing his life to the enemy
and doing his duty on ship like any
other officer is not even self-support-
ing.
In England, the naval cadets. taken
at about the age of Is years, are placed
in the Royal Naval College at Os-
borne, where they spend two years. At
the end of this period. If successful in
their examinations, they are promoted
to the Royal Naval College at Dart
mouth for advanced instruction. On
leaving Dartmouth after two years OF
study, they pass, six months on train
ing ship. Then they are drafted to
various warships as midshipmen. Thus
the midshipman of IL or Is years has
had four and a half years of stldy
and discipline behind him, which fits
him for duty as a junior officer.
During the four years in the naval
schools. the cadets parents pay tuition
fees of 1915 year. which, with uni
forms and extras amounts to about
800. On being promoted to midship-
mans rank. the cadet receives Is. 3D.,
or AZ cents. a day, while his parents or
guardians have the prospect before
them of paying $3.50 a year for mess
navy. A midshipman must serve near
ly three years before getting a COM
mission as sub lieutenant.
Up to the present naval casualty
lists show that midshipmen have beer
harder hit than any other rank. YET
for serving their country. they have

THE SAME If AMERICAN.

The explanation of the unsuccess-
full attack upon the steamer Orduna
last July when torpedo missed it
by few feet has been placed in the
hands of the authorities at Washing
ton. From such a summary as has
been made public the German COM
mander claims that owing to the
weather he was unable to determine
the nationality or the character Of
The Orduna.
This does not jibe with the state
nent of the Orduna's captain, who de-
clares that it was a clear day with
light wind and slight ripple He
states that he was not warned and
that he had no knowledge of the pres
ence of the submarine until a torpedo
was observed headed for his ship,
when every effort was made to get
AWAY and he was successful by an I'M
comfortably short distance.
The statements, however, place the
responsibility entirely upon the SUBJ
marine. The commander makes nc
claim that he warned the steamers
captain and even If 1t was as claimed

would have been greater than that OF
he submarine in seeing the larger
vessel. Blaming the attack onto the

AN AGRICULTURAL COUNCIL
Ry r. NJ, Carver.


Professor of Economics. Harvard Uniyersity
Every city has its chamber of com
merce or its Board of Trade. The
purpose of such an organization is
to study economic and business op-
portunities Of the city and promote
enterprises which will help to build
the city. Does any one know Of
good and sufficient reason why ev-
cry rural neighborhood ought not
have a similar organization?
In Germany they already have such
organizations. They are generally
called the Observation-Disclosures or
agricultural council. Some students
of the problem of rural organization
are strongly of the opinion that such
an agricultural council is necessary
before much can be done for the bet
tering Of rural credit or the market
ing of farm produce. There is no
object, for example, in having more
capital in a farming neighborhood
unless the farmers know without any
guess-work Just how to use that capi-
tai 20 rs ito increase the production
and the profit of their farms. II all

hood would lay their heads together
and talk over the situation and study

mistakes than If they work secretly,
