Do You Want a Better and
Safer City? Help Aid. Lodge

Aid. John c. Lodge has once again e=-
tablished why. as a public servant. he IS
valuable asset to the city of Detroit and
the kind Of man worth having ou duty
and on guard in the legislative branch
of the city government
He has demonstrated once again that
he is in sympathy with and is thinslnE
with the best element Of our citizenship.
by calling attention 20 the manner in
which the characterization law, passed
to regulate and keep down the number
of saloons in Detroit, has been ignored
by the common council.
This law gives us one saloon for every
500 inhabitants.
On the basis Of the last census De
troit should have 931 saloons
. We have close TO 1,400.
Aid. Lodge declares that it is the
DUTY Of the common council TO bring
this number down to the prescribed limit
and he will again submit an ordinance
which the aldermen have twice defeated.
basing his hope that il viii pass ON d
change of heart on the part Of the alder
men since last they voted.
The Detroit times., 1915-09-11

How do YOU feel about the number Of
saloons in Detroit?
Do you believe, as Aid. Lodge does.
that there are too many Of these places
for YOUR good and for your boy's good.
and for your neighbor's good and for
your neighbor's boys good. and for your
city's good?
Do you believe that if a law is worth
passing and keeping on the books, It is
worth ENFORCING?
Do you believe that your alderman
should be a lawbreakere
We know that you don't believe any
thing of the kind.
We know that you believe that respect
for the law should begin with those who
make your law.
Then get behind Aid. Lodge and help
him put across his ordinance, which calls
simply for respect for law.
You can do this by letting your o"n
alderman know that you believe a. Aid
Lodge does, and by suggesting to your
alderman that HE ought to believe as
Aid. Lodge does, and ought 20 vote with
him 10 cut down the number Of saloons

Aid. Lodge demonstrates further that
he is in sympathy with those who have
Detroits moral welfare at heart Dy call
ing attention TO the manner in which the
law-defying saloon is able 10 lobby down
its reputation and evade the penalty
prescribed by the Warner-Cranton act.
The Times desires To deprive tn alder
men of none Of the credit due them for
revoking the licenses of many of De-
troit's notorious and undesirable saloons
as saloons are classified by the IaV d.
recting the aldermen.
Notorious dives of the worst order
have been continued in business. never
theless. and their elimination would
mean marked progress toward the limit
that is desired 70 comply with the Iaw
The saloonkeeper who fails TO recognize
that these are precarious times for has
business at the best, is not entitled to q

with the favor of the community in gen

United States Refuses Embargo and

Western Newspaper Union New, Service.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE State
Department made public the reply of
the United States, rejecting views set
forth by the Austro-Hungarian gov.
ernment in a recent note contending
that expectation of war munitions
from America to Austria's enemies
was conducted on such a scale as to
be mot in consonance with the def
milton of neutrality"
Though friendly in tone the note
fatty denies the Austro.H Hungarian
contentious and recalls that that coun.
try and Germany furnished munitions
of war to Great Britain during the
Boer war. when England's enemies
could not import such supplies.
II insisted that the American gov
eminent is pursuing a strictly neutral
course and adhering to n principle
upon which It would depend for muni-
tions in the markets OF the world in
case It should be attacked by for.
eign power.
Attention is directed to the fact that
Austria-Hungary and Germany before
the war produced a great surplus OF
war munitions and sold them through
out the world especially to belliger-
ents" and that never during that
period did either OF them suggest or
apply the principle now advocated by
the imperial and royal government"
Asserts adoption of Austrias plan
for embargo on munitions would
plunge all nations into militarism by
forcing them to assemble large sup
plies OF war materials in time OF
peace
Finds no ground for proposal in in
ternational law, and quotes German
authority to prove embargo would be
violation OF neutrality.

ORDER HAD HIM "lN THE AIR"
eoatswaln's Mate Considerably Mud
died by Command That Was
Entirely New to Him.

In all the naval services tradition is
strong. AS Chief Boatswain McCar.
thy, U. s. N, has shown in an article In
"The Proceedings of the United States
Naval Institute" the adherence to GUS
tom extends to the manner in which
the boatswain's calls are varied for
different occasions. and even, in the
old navy, at least, 1t extended to the
way in which the officers gave their
orders.
The language used in passing words
was the vernacular of the sailor rather
than academic English, and the officer
who did not know that usually got poor
results from the boatswain's mate. who
had his own ideas about passing the
word. and got muddled in interpreting
any unusual order
On one occasion, the officer OF the
morning watch gave this order:
"Boatswain's mate. scrub down with
rapidity." This was a new one, and
after causing the officer to repeat the
order three times, the boatswalns
mate become desperate. He grabbed
a deck bucket, and forced 1t into the
hand of the nearest apprentice. whom
he started on his way with push that
sent the youngster reeling, and fol.
lowed him with this shout:
go to the captain of the hold and
ask him for bucketful Of 1t! never
heard of anything to scrub deck with
but sand and lime, and don't know
