Drayman Joseph Yaney was arrested
last Saturday by Marshal Duncan on
by Peter DeYoung an employ of the fur
niture factory. He plead guilty when ar
raigned before Mayor Rice and was fined
$40 and costs. Unable to settle he was
sent to Jail. He was later released, and
it is understood went to Van Vert, where
he expects to move his family in the near
future.
This Is the second time Yaney has been
arrested for a similar offense against De-
Young. The trouble seems to have ars-

man. one bloody vote" That or some IN
ouirers such an explanation would appear
sufficient can hardly be
doubted. For the time being, at least, 1t
makes them feel that difficult abstrac-
ton has been reduced TO u concrete and
understandable form.
So il is when Sunday undertakes to
touch up the Bible. Take the formal
and stately narrative Of the encounter
between David and Goliath. "Who is this
uncircumcised Philistine that he should
defy the armies Of the living God?" The
question is too stiff for Sundays hearers,
or at least he thinks so, and delights them
with this, with loose variant, as, who's
that lobster out there putting up that
game OF talk" Again: And David put
his hand in his bag and took thence stone
and slang it. and smote the Phiistine in
his forehead and he fell upon his face
to the earth" The Rev. Billy Sundays
modern paraphrase: David just swung
his sling around and soaked him on the
coco between the lamps. 'Beaned! said
Goliath, going to the mat and taking the
count
1t may well be that in this way he leads
some of his audience to satisfying and
intelligent understanding of religion, but
the part of reason in their conversion
may possibly be overrated. The truth is,
as John Selden observed many generations
ago, that logic counts for less than what
in his day was called preaching by the
Spirit and that we love man that
damns US. From which circumstance ne
drew the further conclusion that ito
preach long, loud and damnation Is the
way to be cried up"

The Fight for the Dardanelles.

The loss in the Dardanelles of one
French and two British batteships will
probably weaken the confidence of some
of those who have been disposed TO con-
cede the superiority of modern fleets over
most modern coast Notifications. The in
ner Dardanelles forts, though battered,
are still holding out, and the floating
mines at the disposal Of the defence have
now given the attack its first real set
back.
The Allied feet has to-day clearer idea
Of the. difficulties ahead of it. Yet the
losses it has suffered do not prove at all
that it is unequal to the tasl; of reducing
the forts and forcing a passage of the
straits. The three battleships lost were
sunk by mines floating out on a swift
current The guns of the forts have
apparently not yet seriously damaged a
single big warship.
The fleet has the advantage in range
and weight of projectiles. If it takes its
time it can destroy the forts bit by bit
That the Turks have a sufficient supply of
ammunition for their land batteries is
pretty eXtravagant assumption. Every
day of hard fighting will bring the stock
in hand nearer to the point of exhaustion,
and if the forts fail the mine fields can
easily be reached and cleared.
If the Allies had a sufficient landing
force available the quickest method Of
breaking down the Turkiah defence would
be to land enough troops to hold Bulair
and thus TO cut off from Constantinople
the forts on the Galipoli peninsula. That
operation would make it possible to at
tack the European forts from three sides
and to wear out their garrisons. a foot
hold on Bular would also put the Allies
in the rear of the zone Of mine defence,
Just inside Niagara Point. Turkish control
of those waters would thus be imperilled.
Even if the feet has to continue the
fight unaided it will probably reach its
goal. Thursdays losses will serve as
warning against undertaking the peril of
mines. But eliminating those chance
agents the ships have still manifest
superiority over the defences which block
their way.

No Army Of Defence.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: May ask you to give space in your
columns to protest against the formation
of the American Legion? At the first glance,
judging from world conditions as they now
are, such an organization seems patriotic and
timely.
But how will this affect Americas relations
with the warning nations? We have, through
our wise President, taken an absolutely oppo
site stand from the position of American mill
tarists. Can we ask peace of these warning
nations and offer in the future to help arbi-
trate terms OF peace wnen we are ourselves
preparing TO fight: Can We say we believe
in the feasibility of any plan for disarma.
ment and yet ourselves 20 about eagerly seek
ing TO enroll huge army for defence? No,
we cannot serve peace and war. God and
memmon, at once On the one side lies the
narrow patriotism whose strength is in the
time-worn tribal fsllacy that we can serve
our own country through pushing It's apparent
advantage at the expense OF other nations
advantage, the truth being exactly contrary.
We prosper others prosper we suffer when
other nations are weakened and injured. On
the other side lies the glorious belief that we
are to serve all mankind and that by thus do
]
the vision OF brotherhood around which we
gather, and we should have faith in the rec
ignition by other nations OF our desire TO
serve the cause OF universal brotherhood.
This should be our defence.
But, aside from these cons derations the
impractcabiity of the American Legio con
dennis the whole plan as utterly futile. Mr..
Roosevelt, who is the principal exponent OF
American miltarism, has himself pointed out
that unless the United States is able to de-
velop a military power able TO meet and
master any foreign opponent, or a combina-
ton OF opponents. the United States is in
military sense worse than helpless. Mr..
Roosevelt is right. We must either make
complete about-face and become a first-class
military power. subordinsting all interests TO
military superiority. or else give up mill
tarism and depend on equitable dealing and
international public opinion to keep US out
OF trouble

A Prince Who Said "Hell"

Faithful war correspondents report that
the Prince of Wales, on service at the
front, exclaimed "Oh hell. What does it
matter" to a worried adjutant who was
apologizing for valued officers breach
of court etiquette in the address Of let
ter to him. There is certain directness
and freedom from afrectation in that
which is distinctly refreshing. 1t accords
entirely with the American point of view
that what matters is the spirit, not the
surface or envelope, and it is not likely
that the bulk Of Englishmen are greatly
different in their views.
Both as Prince of Wales and as King.

he was human enough to unbend on occa-
sion. The dignity which encompasses Il

No Help for the Shortweighters.

Regard for the pennies of the poor In
these days Of unemployment and high cost
of living should dictate the speedy death
of the bills at Albany abolishing the De-
partment of Weights and Measures and
creating a bureau for a similar work IN
the Agricultural Department. There Is
no more wholesome force for trade honesty
in the state than this same department.
To make it a subordinate bureau in an
alien department would be to rob it of
most of its usefulness. 1t would hold lit
tie terror for that meanest of thieves, the
shortweighter.
Once before, in Suffers time, similar
proposal was made, in order to grab some
patronage. There was a demonstration of
public indignation which drove that in
trepid friend Of the ''peepul" to abandon
his bill post haste. 1t is unthinkable that
Governor Whitman's administration should
stand for anything Sulzer found too dis
agreeable to swallow.

his ideas are not Broadway's. If they

How foreign that seems to the school
Of ideas theatrical which has provided
this city with its drama this winter,
Seldom has there been any slighter con-
nection between the products of the play
house and the currents of life. With a
few exceptions, the season has produced
drama about as counterfeit as the cloth
flowers which acquired a sudden popular
ity with young misses and frequenters Of
thes dansants. The Interpretation of life
has been mostly a distortion of life for
sensatonalism or rib-ticklng amusement.
Concededly a bad season financially, it
has been even a worse one artisticaly.
1t was predicted when Mr. Barker came
here that if his venture proved popular
enough to warrant it he would be put in
charge of a new New Theatre" There
surely ought to be, in this great city, with
populous suburbs to draw on, a public

be stimulating alike to its patrons and its

Making the People Think.

"He has made the people think" says a
disinterested observer by way Of summing
up the result of Billy Sundays stirring
campaign in Philadelphia. He has opened
thought on religion" says another, and,
says a third, that thinking has added 10

upon the leading part that reflection has
played in preparing the minds of men for
what is called "a satisfying and intelli-
gent understanding of religion and Mr..

resent the intimaton that emotional eX-
