J. ogden Armour's testimony that
prosperity in the United States is
settling down to a normality, hasten
ed. perhaps by the war. but not the
sole result OF il, is in marked contrast
with the pitiful croak of Chairman
Hills, Of the republican national
committee. about the necessity Of a
high tariff wall to keep out Of our
midst cheap foreign products,N after
the war is over. Armour says:
America is rapidly rising to an
unprecedented prosperity; a pros
perity which would have been in
conceivable a year ago, and which
will be enduring. II will be
boom like say for three years,
and should not be affected by
termination of tire European war
within that time. The idea that
the cessation Of European hostil-
tiles must affect us adversely is,
believe academic. In the first

countries now at war will be

and infinite resources and coun-

America was destined to lead the
world commercially and finan-
cially in 10 years. The war simply
FASTENED that manifest destiny.
OF course, it is hardly TO be. expect

great political party like the repub-

CIVILIAN POLICE.

Chicago has decided to make itself
the cleanest and best behaved city
in the world" That would be a con
siderable chore for Chicago, II it
we're not animated b. the indomita bic
motto II Will" In all matters OF
municipal reform, it might as we'll be
understood at the outset that where
Chicago wills. there's a way.
The way in this instance is the en-
listment Of civilians for police duty.
The police force and the uplift soci-
cites are collaborating in a plan to
organize a volunteer citizen police
force Of 10000 members-men and
women both-to help the regular,
salaried police. There is TO be one
citizen in every block bearing the title
of "civic cooperator." He will have a
card signed by the mayor indicating
this authority. and may also wear a
star on his chest to impress lawless
or trreverent fellow citizens The en-
rollment is already under way
It's a good idea, this impressing
citizens into the municipal service. We
have had lately numberless organ
izations Of civilians for the national
defense. If civilians are TO save the
nation, why not the city? When il
comes 10 making Chicago clean and
orderly. however, a police reserve of
10000 men and women looks like an
awfully small force.

BRINGING ENGLAND TO BOOK.

Great Britain AID Germany are
both disappointed by Sec'y Lansing S
note OF protest against British agrees
sions. One regards it as too strong
and the other as too weak. From that
fact alone a neutral may gather the
impression that our government has
steered a middle course and is trying
10 protect American interests Impair
TALLY against offenses from any quar-
ter.
IT was necessary TO deal with Ger
many first, because German wrongs
were committed against Am erican life
and British wrongs only against Amer
lean commerce. With most Of the
old German ccntroversy out OF the
way. and some promise even OF salts
faction ia the Lusitana matter, our
government was apparently determin-
ed 70 devote its attention 10 England
for a while, but now the case Of the
Ancona may again turn the tide. The
purpose is the same in both cases-to
maintain the rights Of neutral nations
in war time against all infringement
on the part of beiligerents. 1t is re-
grettable that the Ancona incident
should have occurred. especially just
now
In pressing our case against either
Germany or Britain. we are acting
not merely in defense of American
property interests. but as the cham
pion OF international law in behalf Of
all nations. both for the present and
the future. 1t will mean much to
mankind if our principal aims can be
accomplished, and a substantial body
Of International law can be saved from
the wreckage OF war,
There will presumably be no re-
Taxing OF energy in pressing our
claims against England; there GER
tainly should be none. There is no
hint OF force. no threat, in our de-
mands, but there is the intimation Of
moral force which In civilized inter
national relations is more potent than
buster or vioience.
We do not recognize the legality Of
England's blockade Of Germany. If
IL becomes genuinely effective and
operative against all nations, we will
recognize IL. Even then we cannot
admit Englands right to take orr
ships into prize courts ION suspicion, p"
subiecting them to vexatious and cost
~ delays. We cannot let her use us
as an instrument for unlawful retalia-
ton against Germany, nor can we let
her discriminate against our legiti-
mate commerce in favor Of her own
export trade.
Our differences with England are
probably not irreconcilable. There
haj been aroused. as yet, no very in
tense feeling on either side. The con-
troversy may be ironed out by dip
lomatic exchanges. If not, the dis
putee points can be submitted to The
Hague Tribunal. in accordance with
our British arbitration treaty.
In any event it would be we'll for
he United States TO take the initia-
tive in calling an international con-
gress after the war 10 settle, once for
all. the status Of international law
and fits bearing on the new problems
raised by ths war.

Lusitania Is Justified

The loss Of the Lusitania shows with horrible
clearness to what jeopardy Of, nDncombatant lives
the methods of the enemy lead. Their merchantmen
have been ordered to submarines. If the sub
marine that encountered the Lusitahia had waited
for the passengers and to take to the boats Il
would have meant the sure destruction of the SUBJ
marine.
According to previous experience, it was reason
able to expect that, account of the size of the
Lustania, she would float, after having been tor
pedoed, long enough to permit of her passengers
escaping The presence of explosives in her cargo
disspated this expectation. +
Had the Lusitania been spared, the munitions
she carried would have been used to rob German
mothers and children Of their breadwinners. :

eminent and the government of the United States

NEW YORK, July l0.-Negotiations

thirty millions will be placed to the
credit Of the French government on the
books Of Wall street for the purchase
of supplies and munitions.
The Rothrhilds of Paris borrowed
the money from J. p. Morgan & Co.

and Engine Company of this city made
public the fact that the British,
French and Russian governments have
asked for estimates on the construc-
ton of $50 powerful speed boats for
war purposes.
The boats will be only thirty feet
long and equipped with internal com
hustion motors capable of developing
the enormous proportionate force of
five hundred horsepower, capable of
driving them at an estimated speed of
fifty miles an hour.
Each will mount two light guns and
