Where Ingenuity Fails.

Yankee ingenuity he said. in part,
has saved US in years gone by. but
will it save us IN years to come? 1t
was all right on Lake Erie some few
years ago, but Yankee ingenuity can
not build a modern dreadnaught. train
a squadron of airmen or create a vast
army. We want peace In the United
States when the day OF international
peace comes. but until that day we
should not depend entirely on Yankee
ingenuity.

for the navy and protect our large
ports from attack by sea. They are not.
however, capable of defending them
selves from attack by land. For com
plete defense against invasion both the
mobile army and the navy must CO.
operate with the coast defenses. The
Japanese demonstrated In the Russo
Japanese war that an army division
can be landed upon a shelving coast
without a harbor in twenty-four hours,
few soldiers are landed and wharf
is quickly built.
Once landed there would be nothing
to prevent an army from taking the
coast defenses by land unless they
were adequately defended by our own
troops. Maj. Gen. Wotherspoon. chief
of staff, has estimated that 100000
men would be necessary for the de-
fense of the Atlantic coast line alone.
Thus 1t is seen that our regular army
and militia would have to be largely
supplemented by volunteer troops be-
fore invasion could be successfully re-
PEELED If the navy had been defeated
For the purpose of cooperating with
our navy in preventing the landing of

Norway.

portant article for Verdens Gang. in
which he urges with great force the
Importance of building up steamship
lines operating between Norway and
foreign countries and flying the Morse
flag. That the lines be Morse con-
trolled is very important in his opin-
lon. otherwise the trade won for Nor
way may not be permanent. He calls
attention to the benefits that Norway
has already derived from the Norwe-
gian.American line. it's success having
been a blessing to Morse exporters in
this period of unrest and danger.
The Rotterdam correspondent OF the
London Mail gives the following &C
count of the sinking of the Morse ship
Nor by a German submarine:
Captain Simensen of the Nor says
that he was signaled to stop and was
ordered aboard the submarine. He
was told that his cargo, which con-
sisted of seasoned wood. was contra
band and that he and his crew must
go aboard the steamer Unita, whose
cargo had been already examined and
passed.

Hull says Captain Simensen, then
was ordered to go to Rotterdam to
land my crew. The captain of the sub
marine told me that my ship would be
destroyed, but 1t was still afioat when
left.
az have learned since that 1t was
set on fire by the Germans who could
not easily have sunk 1t with shells
owing to the nature of the cargo. The
commander of the submarine gave nc
certificate to the effect that the MOI
was destroyed for carrying contra

A Scandinavian-American paper
says that Jens I. westengaard. q Da-
nish-American born In Chicago. has
recently resigned an important post
In Siam and accepted Q position as
professor OF law at Harvard univer-
sity. OF which he Is graduate. For
the past twelve years Westengaard
has been the chief foreign adviser OF
the King OF Siam and has been only
second In authority to the king him
self. He was raised to the highest
rank OF the nobility by the king and
was honored in many other ways for
his valuable services.
Among the soldiers in the French
army who have been designated as
heroes worthy Of special mention Is
the Dane. Lieutenant Vetterstrand.
who was born in Copenhagen and has
received his earliest military training
In Denmark. He has distinguished
himself for bravery in the present
war.
The traffic revenues Of Denmark
during the period from April to Feb

pared with 52.667.000 crowns in the
preceding year. Considering the war.
the record of the past six months is
surprisingly good.

Urge Farming for Woman Prisoners.
That some Michigan women should
work at farming along with the men,
and that many of them who were now
out of prison should be In, were two
points brought out at a. hearing by the
senate committee on finance on the
woman's reformatory bill.

apology for the board by saying that
the board knew nothing of woman
prisoners. and II the proposed reform.
atory were established, 1t wanted moth.
ing to do with the paroling Of the
prisoners.
A delegation of Detroit women,
headed by DR.. Mary Thompson Ste

original reformatory measure, which,
instead of appropiating 100000. would
appropriate $4,000 and make use OF
some half abandoned buildings neal

at Ionia.
