The Position of Preparedness.
 (New Haven Register.)

1t IS too easy to over estimate the apparent yielding of the German gov- ernment in it's diplomatic relations with us. Eager partisan politics as over-estimating it. Already they are talking of ''he kept us out of war" as Woodrow Wilson's campaign slogan next year. They are jumping to the conclusion that long before that time he will have added to his glory the substantial coming over of German diplomacy to his point of view-truly a notable victory!
 But not so fast. Observe a little. What have the Germans really con- ceded? It is largely an appearance; a. modification of attitude. They have promised nothing definite as yet. They have expressed no contrition for past happenings, have given assurance Of no reparation. If no more out rages like those of the Lusitania and the Arabic take place for six months CT a year, we may have some con- hGencc that there has been a change of policy, but we have as yet no defi- mite promise.
 Why have we what We have? We may find the answer to that question important. The Germans had little fear, if they could have provoked us

set the pace. The fox trot and the one-step might hang on; but for the most part 1t will be the waltz and the two-step of old with now and then a "canter' interpolated. So grandpa, and grandma, get out your old pranc- ing pumps and slippers and let the dance go on. Back to the good old days. Philadelphia is leading the march of retrogression. New York merely imagines it is progressing. For the old dance shall be the new dance and the new the old. So shall the bib- lical expression be borne out-the first shall be last and the last shall be first

Fourth In Foreign Shipping.
Waterbury Democrat.)

It is pleasant to learn that the American flag really is making it's way on the seas again. Our ship ping engaged in the foreign trade, which last year totalled only 1,O76,- 900 tons rose in the year ending June 30 to 1,813OO0 tons. That was a greater foreign tonnage than we have had since the civil war started our shipping decline. The gain Is three times as much as we ever made be- fore in one year. It has raised our standing since this war began, from the tenth position among maritime nations to the fourth. Only Great Britain, France and Norway now sur pass us in carrying power of foreign trading vessels. Unfortunately, how ever, this growth is restricted almost entirely to the European traffic. The increase in the number of trans-At- lantic ships of American registry would be more satisfactory if it were matched by proportional increase in the Pacific and in the trade routes of the southern hemisphere. We are losing instead of gaining in the Asiatic routes. It Is feared, too, that the present rate of growth will prove merely temporary Our ship ping has of course been unnaturally stimulated by war conditions, which have multiplied freight rates in the European trade. Great numbers of ships have changed to American reg istry for the sake of the profit in car rying war supplies and the greater safety they enjoy under our flag. When the war ends, this stimulus will fail us. Moreover, Germany, re- gaining access to the seas, will resume her place ahead of Us in tonnage And thcn, unless something effective is done in the meantime for additional protection of our shipping, putting the burdens of American vessel own CTS more nearly on a par with those of foreign nations, we may see our shipping hopes fade again.

No Bad Boys 'or the Navy.
(New York World.)

In protesting against the occasion al practice of magistrates of sentenc- ing boys for minor offenses to ser vice in the navy, Assistant Secretary Franklin D. Roosevelt rightly says that "the navy is not reformatory on a penal institution" The course of strict discipline it offers may seem the proper corrective to judges dis posed to spare young men from going to jail but with good reason the navy objects to being made the dump ing-place for undesirable persons.
 What makes good material for
 fighting men in time of need is not easy to determine in advance Phy- sicval toughness is probably more important than irreproachable moral character. An unblemished record of personal virtue may count for less than hardened muscles and courage in action. Some of the Civil war reg iments that acquitted themselves with honor were not recruited in sectlon5 where crime was least prevalent. There is a battalion of soldiers in the French army today, famous for its daredevil feats, that is known as Les

into war, of what we might do to them But they have discovered that, so long as President Wilson has his way, they are very unlikely to pro- yoke us into war, of what we might do to them And meanwhile, they have not been slow to observe their course has been driving the American people into an effective de- termination to be prepared for war. The spirit of prepardness is some thing the astute Germans do not care to rouse in America. They know our potency fully as we'll as we know it ourselves, if we should become aroused. And there is a great deal more doing in the making efficient of our army and navy than most Ameri- cans realize. The Germans, being used to that sort of thing, do realize it.
 So perhaps we may give that in definite and elusive thing, the spirit of preparedness, some credit for the modification of German attitude, such as it is. And we need to beware lest, predic ing too much on the apparent change, we permit that spirit to weaken. The situation, as it affects the need for effective action on our part, really has not changed at all.

Fall Changes fin women's Hair

In the September woman's Home Companion, which by the way is called a Fashion Forecast Number" the fashion editor comments in part of follows about the changes in coif- fure this fall:
 There is to be decided change in the coiffure this autumn. Simplicity has been the mode these past two or three seasons. Now there is a re- turn to the pompadour and puffs and curls. This should ge welcome news to many women, as this new style is far more becoming and softening to the features than the severely plain coifure recently favored. The new pompadour is interesting as it is so different from the pompadour so pop- ular in the past. It is called the slanting pompadour because it is very low in front and rises gradually un- til it reaches the crown, where it is finished with a group of small puffs encircled with soft coil"

many wide awake American business
 men are preparing to go as an ad-
 vance guard of the incoming cohorts
 and in some measure prepare berths
 for them.
 Although at present some parts or
 theA West are not looked upon US
 great agricultural centers, this Is oe-
 cause these places have never oeeh
 properly titled, or irrigated. With
 the knowledge Of farming that "he
 peoples of the old world will bring to
 this country. with their industry and
 patience, and with the cooperation of
 the United States government there IS
 no reason why the so-called arid West
 cannot be made the" greatest agrcul-
 tural portion of the United States.
 Vast lands are lying idle there waiting
 the hand of man to turn them into
 veritable Gardens of Eden. Many of
 the Western states have been checked in their development because not enough people have settled there to get the true value out of the land. That the western states are rich in mineral ore has been fully demon strated Anyone who has ever trav- eled in that vast country will readily affirm the statement that there are possibilities other than mining await ing the new conner.
 Land can be bought very cheapiy at the present time in the West. This will not always be the case. If the regions, of those great states west of the Rockies ever become thiclSly populated the values of farm land will be greatly enhanced, enough so to- warrant anyone getting Tn on the first rush. For there is going to be an invasion of the West as sure1y as the European War is ever brought to an end, that is, if there are any sturdy souls left after this terr'o1e conflict. The railroads are looking forward to the close of the war With great promise. It means an increase of their business if settlers swarm ln- to the West When the devlopment Of the land there takes place the railroads will keep step with the 1 march of J,rogress., New lines and branches will spring up where now only wagon trs,iis are spun over the mountain fastness. While there is nothing to haul on the roads there is 10 need to further the work of con- 'truction. Once there is something o be brought from the West into oth-- ,r sections of the country the rail- oads will get busy. And there will ,e plenty of products if the immi- ,rants from Europe are turned loose Il the bountiful lands of the west, the ands that are waiting the magic ouch of mankind.

BACK TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

No more shall the diagonal shuttle, with the whirl. the dip and the swing, known to terpsichorean artists as The Tango, hold forth on the waxed floors of Philadelphia, the we'll known city in Pennsylvania An, no! The tango is passe. It may be fondled and cuddled in New York; but as for holding it's own in Philadelphia, it's day, or night, is over. Too slow, too slow, for speedy Philadelphia. So have decreed the members of the Philadelphia Dancing Masters asso- citation in grand session at Atlantic City. And when the dancing masters lift their dainty pedal extremities and launch terrific thrusts with their pa tent leather pumps at the Tango, the foe must vanish. Even though it was born in the land of the bull-fight the Tango could never stand up under fusillade of abuse from the Dancing Masters Association. Those sturdy old warriors, when they get started, are worse than all the revolutionists in Mexico. They are determined men, and when they say that a dance is too old, or decrepit it is slow music and a funeral glide for said dance.
 Having then disposed of the Tango as a useless dance, an overrated dance, relic of days when men were Do MoS Sf their light fantastic. eyes to other fields there to pick posies of different hue for the romping, frisking, caper- ing, gamboling youth of Philadelphia. And in allowing their expert eyes to sweep over the great pastures wherein grow the intricate figures and steps that glide lightly and rhythmically over the polished surface have the dancing masters really got something new for Philadelphia? Have they se- cured a dance far more racy and ap- Have they produced a substitute for New York's standard, one to make the metropolis of the nation blush for very shame? We hasten to add, they have not! Nor have they improved upon the walk made famous by a very well known movie comedian.
 Neither have they gone to the Zoo and ennulated any of the gyrations of inmates there. No duck dive, or pony rrance; no broncho bounce or giraffe slide,-none of these things do the professors advocate. Bless your heart, no! They are for the plain, unvar- snished. waltz and two step.. They would shave the dances of other days brought back and they are going to do all in their power to bring this happy state of affairs to a realization.

Zeppelin warfare, of which SC much was expected, has been fias:o and a costly one.

 MT. Wilson tried words on Ger many as he had previously tried words on Mexico, and the failure in the second instance was as great as ill the first. But finding words futile, he laid them aside.

Wilson deserves all praise, but for this alone.-New York Tribune
