4TLANTIC WAR GAME LESSONS

The war game played by our Allan
tic fleet was only a game. 10 be sure,
but the outcome was both disquieting
and instructive. The maneuvers show
ed that a stronger fleet of warships
conveying transports could land an
invading expedition safely on our
shores. in spite Of our navy. But re-
member of the stronger fleet" was
also ours, which, in case Of real con-
flict, would be among the defenders.
The defending fleet under Admiral
Fletcher was the one recently review
ed by the president in New York The
report of the navy department ex-
plains that these battleships, cruisers
and auxiliaries were given the task
Of repelling an expected invasion any
where between Eastport. on the north
ern shore of Maine, and Cape Hat
teras, North Carolina. The attacking
fleet. commanded by Rear Admiral
Beatty, was Of course largely ficti-
tious, but its operations seem about
what might be expected of a power
full. hostile fleet ably handled 1t COW
cred 500 miles of coast with it's fast
scouts, holding it's main body Of fight
ers in the rear and threatening an
attack anywhere within that area. It's
scout ships finally engaged the line Of
defending scouts. and put half Of them
out of commission by superiority in
speed and gun power, which enabled
them to shoot and run before Admiral
F1etcher's supporting dreadnOughts
could arrive on the scene. Then, when
the remaining fleet of defense with
drew northward to protect New Eng
land. apparently the enemy's object
i've. the main squadron of the invad-
ers swung around TO the south, flank
ed the line of defense and landed its
army in Chesapeake bay without oppo-
sition. The coast defeD yes were not
considered in the game Again we
remind you that our warships were
the ones that did it. They met no
American submarines
The lesson is obvious. The "ene-
my" turned the trick not so much
through superiority in power and
number of battleships but in the SUI
periOrity of his scouting ships" par
ticularly armored cruisers. which
like those Of our chief rival powers
could steam faster and shoot farther
than ours; also because there was no
submarine fleet at the mouth of the
Chesapeake bay to blow up the hostile
warships and transports. These sub
marines would probably be there in
case Of real warfare.
We seem. then, TO need faster cruis-
ers with bigger guns. and a great

sUCCESS IN SlIALL TOWNS.

The Mayo brothers of Rochester,

that these famous surgeons hate and
fear, it is publicity, and the giving of
100000 TO endow an institute Of
medicine in the University of Mime

OF fame as they have never faced be-

The Mayo brothers will survive the
ordeal, however. And certainly it is

\ SHIPPING REFERENDUM.

The United states chamber Of COM
merce is performing a useful SER
vice in sounding the sentiment Of
business men throughout the country
on the gcvernment-ste plan and
other phases Of the shipping situation.
The result Of the referendum now un-
der way should be Illuminating and
useful There is nothing partisan
about it, The vote will simply show
whether the majority of our business
and professional men favor this ven
ture in government ownership, or pre-
fer ship subsidy or some other method
Of building UP our merchant marine.
There Is no doubt that at the time
the issue was before congress, bust
ness interests were vigorously opposed
to the government going into the
shipping business on any terms what
ever The referendum will show
whether that sentiment has been
opments-the enormous increase Of
our export trade, the opportunities
opened that are still unutilized, and
the constant lessening supply of avail
able vessels. Although the member
ship of the United States chamber OF
commerce constitutes a comparatively
small body Of citizens. 1t represents
such vast business Influence that con-
gress would be unlikely TO ignore its
views if vigorously registered.
Something. obviously. will nave to
be done soon. The Pan-American fl
nancial conference at Washington has
called attention more pOintedly than
ever to the anomalous predicament Of
the South American republics, which
want to do business with us-as we
do with them-but are hindered by a
lack of transportation facilities. It
is absurd that we should be able to
reach some of these nations only by
traversing the European war zone.
The representatives of the A. B. c.
countries have shown their eageruess
to cooperate in any plan, public or
private, that would insure them direct
communication and regular sailings
between their ports and ours.
It's a choice between private enter
prise ship subsidy and government
ownership. If private capital doesn't
get busy. one of the first duties of the
next congress will be to choose defin-
itely between the other two methods,
or else change our shipping laws to
make the field more attractive to
American capital.

OUR MUNICIPAL FLAG.

For an example of our municipal
economy one might have cast a glance
at the wee "dinky' flag that waved
above the city nall Memorial day. We
half imagine that it must have cost
at least a quarter of a dollar, which in
times like these, when patriotism is
in considerable demand-goes much
farther than no sign of patriotism at
all.
We put It up to some Of our patri-
otto societies TO secure a presentable
flag and tender it TO the municipality
for use on such occasions. Garry it
right into the board of works office,
and say:
Mr.. President and members of
the board, here is old Glory. 1t

meaning of the alternate red and
white stripes. or of the blue back
ground, or the stars. since you
are so nightly absorbed in saw

probably could not take time to

will hoist IL above the municipal
building. we will guarantee that
it can be seen from the street and
the general public will under

We absolutely disclaim that when
