MIR GEORGE Won l.. MEYER may argue
convinc!ngly on the folly OF naval I'M
preparedness. What matter? There
Is always enough expert public spirit
somewhere in Congress TO block all
Improvement on perfectly good par
.iamcntary technicalities. Mr.. MEYER,
who knows something about the mat
ter, az he has been Secretary OF the
Navy, says that the great need of the
service Is not money but organization.
Above all, he points out, some central
body is needed 10 concert measures OF
national defence. But about the time
he was saying this in New York Mr.
MANN. tho Republican House leader,
was successfully raising a point OF
order to strike out OF the naval bill
the clause creating a Chief OF Opera
tons and preparing the way for a
Board Of Strategy with exquisite
irony Mr.. MANN took the opportunity
to score the majority party in Con-
gress for unpatriotic legislation.

MIDSHIPMAN KIRBY'S CASE.
A Protest Against the Ruin Of His
Career by Dismissal from the Navy.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuN-Sir. Even
though that majestic figure which art
and tradition have presented to us as
blindfolded 10 everything but the true
merits Of case standing ready with
nicely balanced scales 70 weigh the
claims Of truth, does not appa rently

CHS of the Honorable tho Secretary OF

NJ Midshlpman Kirby. II was IN Klrh, s
room that 2 bottle OF spirits was found,
and the discovery led to his rest EnHt1on
Now. without denying hut on the CON
trary urging that the rule at Annapo-
lis prohibiting tho use and even the
presence OF liquor is a wise and beue-
fetal one, Il can still he maintained that
the young mans crime was not the
worst that he could have committed and
that Il should not he punished by dis
missal from the academy.
Young Kirby's fault was committed
not 80 much for the appeasemcnt OF hts
own appetite as for the satisfaction Of
that spirit of convivlallty which young
men OF his age and mettle often indulge
IN Doubtless a rigorous inspection
would show that others at the academy
were equally guilty. For the Secretary
Of the Navy 20 punish the offence by

twenty-eight for the British Such a
battle would of course begin at the
longest Furnishing range. Allowing that
the British 1875 inch Is about as effec-
tive as the American IA inch gun. the
much thicker armor of the American
ships would prove a great advantage.
The British battle cruisers have a belt
thickness Of nine inches, nine for the
big guns and ten for the coming
tower: whereas for the American bat
tleships the belt protection Is thirteen
and one-half inches, the triple turrets
nine TO eighteen, the double turrets
nine to sixteen and the coming tower
sixteen inches. Granting that in
manpuvring the British vessels would
benefit by their speed, the advantage
ought TO be more than offset by the
heavier armor Of the American bat
tleShips.
These considerations. while they
warrant the American policy Of build
ing all big gun ships, heavily ar
mored, for defence, do not Justify dis
regard Of the usefulness OF the battle
cruiser or indifference to high speed.
England. by the way, Is building five
Queen Elizabeth battleships, which
will have a speed of twenty-five knots
and carry main batteries Of eight 10
inch guns. Are not such swift battle
ships, with their great gun range and
destructive power, more formidable
than the much slower Oklahomas and
Pennsylvania with their IA inch
guns? A few more knots Of speed in
the line Of battleships would certainly
increase the effectiveness of the Amer.
lean navy. Some battle cruisers It
should have. for not only are they the
giants Of the always useful cruiser
division, worthy IN take their place in
the first line, but in pursuit Of a
beaten fleet, 10 finish II completely,
they are invaluable.

At Least This Phrase Was Not Made
In Germany.

To TIE EDITOR or THE SUN-Sir. In
TIE SUNDAY Sun "Musicus" writes as
10 tho words God save the King" He
expresses the belief that the music 10
the words was evidently made in Ger
many"
At least the phrase "God save the
King" did not originate in Germany.
Flavus Josephus, the Jewish historian,
writes (Chapter iv):
Then" said the Prophet. God made
this man 20 be your king: see how he Il
higher than any OF the people and wor-
thy OF the dominion; and as soon a. the
people had shouted with acclamation.
God save the King" the Prophet wrote
down. SC.
Thus for Saul was uttered the sup
plication God save the King"
Further. In Chapter VII, Section O.
Josephus writes:
The boy. Joash. was amounted with holy
oil by Jehoidsda, who proclaimed him
king and the multitude refoiosd, and an
plauded, and cried out, "God save the
King"
There Is another appellation familiar
to the ears and tongues OF millions of
people I'm America, which Is Father OF
His Country In the minds of multi
tudes II applies only to George Wash
ington, our first President.
Tacitus, in his Annals (Boox VII
Chapter ~, tells us that:
For the intelligent censorial acts OF EN-.
peror Claudius the natterer Viprantus
moved In the senate, That tie Emperor
should be styled. The Father 81 the SEN
ate but the title The Father of Hts
Country he said, was no more than due
to the intellect Of such a great man a.
Claudius," So fattsring were Vipranius's
remarks that. we are told. they gave dts,
gust 10 claudius," who overruled tho mo-
tion to eHalt him.
Verify as the wise man has told US.
there is nothing new under the sun.

TWO INGERSOLL HOUSES.
Relies Of Father and Son In Fifth
Avenue and Mott street.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir. The
projected remodellng OF the old mansard
roof house at 400 Fifth avenue recalls
the fact that 1t was the home of Colonel
Robert G., lngersoll for many years.
And this reminds me that there is n
very old house standing at 20 Mott
street. opposite the intersection OF Park
street, that was the homo Of the Rev.
John lngersoll, father of the great ag-
nost'c, when the latter was three or
four years old.
The father preached for while in the
old temple that stood on Chatham
Square.
The old Mott street house is now in
Chinatown and occupied as n Chinese

Shall the United States Enlist for
Germany?


What is the essence Of the pro
gramme devised and put forward by
the representatives Of German Ameri
can civic societies who met in Wash.
ington on Saturday and pledged them
selves to form a national organization
to make the needs and necessities OF
foreign nations the issues on which
the political campaign Of this coun-
try in 1915 shall be fought?
II is that the United States, through
the enactment Of statutes regulating
the conduct Of It's citizens and by en-
forcing constructions Of international
law hitherto undreamed OF. shall de-
part from the neutrality it has main
| tanned and align itself on the side of
a European nation now engaged in
war. to sustain and benefit that ma
tion in its struggle and TO discomfort
and injure It's enemies
However It Is sought to disguise
this purpose, whatever label is pasted
on il, the bold fact cannot he hidden.
The promoters of this pro-German
movement propose that the United
States by its municipal law and the
exercise Of It's sovereignty shall com
pei an alteration in the military stu
alton produced by the superiority Of
the allied fleets and restore to Ger
many the advantages Of which that
superiority has deprived her.
Had the German fleet proved equal
to the task of keeping the seas open
to German commerce no sy1npathlzer
with her cause would have suggested
the course that Is now advocated. II
tomorrow German armed ships drive
the allied fleets TO cover and reopen
10 German vessels the lanes OF trans
atlantic travel no defender Of Ger
many will he found to Justify the
changes in our demeanor that are to-
day demanded.
Thus the scheme to which these men
who boast that they are American
citizens are committed contemplates
the enlistment OF the American people
under the nag of Germany, the direc-
tion OF the material strength OF the
United States to the succor n the
German arms and the dwelling of
our might against the belligerents to-
day leagued against Germany. The
neutrality that honor, wisdom and In
terest unite to urge on the United
States is to he violated for the Grip
ping of England, France and Russia,
and the means by which this is sought
to be accomplished Is published with
that same hrazen assurance TO which
we have become accustomed in the
discussion of our duty by those who
would prescribe our conduct
Against this project for the aban-
donment OF our historically, legally
and morally correct attitude every
instinct Of Amerlcanism protests. To
the threat that those men in public
life who have the courage TO oppose
It shall be driven to retirement by the
votes of German sympathizers every
counsel Of honor answers with de-
fance. The United States shall not
be converted into an ally of Germany,
nor driven into the ranks of that ma
TONS enemies II will maintain itself
in the future as it has in the past in
sincere friendship with all nations,
the tool Of none, and to that end II
will adopt its policies not to accord
with the ambitions and intrigues of
European politics and ambitions hut
to further the well being and true hap
piness OF those who are proud to be
Americans without hyphen.
