REMEMBER THE MAINE.

Eighteen years ago Feb. IS,
1898, the Maine was blown I'D in
Havana harbor Remember the
Name at once became the battle
cry that reused the militant nation.
1t was the call to arms that precipi-
tated one Of the brietcst wars in
history, but Il war that in the space
OF 100 days altered the map Of both
hcnlSphcres, wrestling from Spain
her colonial empire alike in the
West Indies and in the far East
and made the United States of
America q world power Of the first
magnitude.
The maintop Of the vessel, which
untll a lew years ago rose as sen
uncl above the waters of Havana
harbor, now forms the Crovninp
part OF monument erected in honor
OF the heroes at Arlington cemetery.
To-day there is new Maine
floating about the seas to help us
not to forget, if such thing were
necessary, to Remember the
Maine. The keel of the old
Maine was laid at the BROOKLYN
navy yard on oct. u, 1888. She
was constructed tom plans which
the Navy Department purchased in
England. Her displacement was
1850 tons when ready for active
service, and she drew little more
than Il feet Of waiter. The new
Maine IS about double her predeces-
sorS size with a displacement of
" 900 tons.
The bodies of the American sail
ors who lost their lives in the blow
ing up Of the Maine were brought to
this country shortly after the Span
lsl American war and were inter
red III the beautiful Arlington cem-
ctcry at Washington, d. c., where
every year their graves are profuse
~ decorated with flowers and ap-
prOprlatc ceremonies are conducted
on decoration day.

LONDON'S BRIDGES.
The First of These Historic Structures
Named a Juvenile Game.

Can you remember when you were
a little tyke and played London. bridge
Is falling down" during recess or at
children's parties when the girls We're
not too much dressed up? The game
always ended with Il vigorous pull Of
the opposing sides. with the result that
usually both forces went down in the
dust Did you know that that child.
1sh game was one of the genuine an.
tiqueS and that it could trace its origin
to real historic fact? The first bridge
over the Thames. at the headwatcrs of
navigation, about half n mile above the
Tower. was SO old that the story of its
construction is lost in Il maze Of myths
It's fall, however, is matter Of record
1t happened on the 10th of November.
1913. and it was the result of the most
devastating storm and the most terrific
and sudden flood that London had ever
seen
That first bridge was entirely of
wood 1t was not rebuilt for almost y
century, and the second bridge con.
sisted Of stone arches. resting on deep
p1llng. 1t was forty feet wide and al.
most :; thousand feet long Houses
were built along the bridge, also rest
Ing on piling, until the bridge looked
like a city street. These buildings
were swept away by fire in 1866. In
the middle of the bridge was draw.
with tower. Oh which were exhibited
the heads OF Englishmen who were c.;
ecuted for treason against the kings OF
England. The present London bridge
was begun in 1924, little way above
the old one, and it is Of such massive
construction that there is little danger
Of its ever failing down."-St. Louis

est politician in the country today;
too shrewd to accept nomination
that fails to carry with it reason
able hope of election. Conditions this
year are not favorable for change of
national policy, and no man in the
United States is more aware of that
fact than Col. Roosevelt. The re-
nomination of President Wilson by
the Democratic party is assured, and
that party would doubtless receive the
announcement of the nomination of
Roosevelt with pleasure, as it would
tend to concentrate the issues of the
campaign into one terse sentence
peace or War;"
Roosevelt knows he would have to
run the gauntlet of all the abuse that
was heaped upon him in 1912 by the
standpat wing of the party and that
vast majority of the nation would
stand by Wilson and peace with hon
or rather than Roosevelt and war with
glory, fully recognizing the slight
value Of halo to dead man.
His recent attacks on the policy OF
Wilson would, he knows, react to his
discontinue. For instance, his state.
ment in Brooklyn on January 80, be-
fore the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and
Sciences, in which, discussing the VIC
lation of the neutrality of Belgium
he declared it was "dishonorable con
duct on the part Of the United States
to take no action" Yet, he surely
remembers that four days after the in
vasion of Belgium he made a speech
in New York, in which he said, eve
should be thankful beyond measure
because we are Americans and not at
war;" and urged support for the adj
ministration in securing peace and jus
tice. But he said nothing Of any duty
to Belgium.
On September 20, 1914, seven weeks
after the Belgium invasion, he print
ed in the Outlook an elaborate arti
Gle on the war, with long discus
sion of it's Belgian phases. Here are
some of it's passages:
"A delegation of Belgians has
arrived to invoke our assistance.
What action our government can
or will take, know not.
ut has been assumed that no
L.
: terfere with our neutrality. 1t
is certainly eminently desirable
that we should remain entirely
neutral and nothing but urgent
need would warrant breaking our
neutrality and taking sides one
way or the other.
"Of course, it would be folly
to jump into the gulf ourselves

to no good purpose, and very
probably nothing we could have
done would have helped Belgium.
We have not the smallest respon-
sibility for what has befallen her,
and | am sure that the sympathy
of this country for the suffering
of the men, women and children
of Belgium is very real.
Nevertheless, this sympathy is
compatible with full acknowledge
ment of the unwisdom of uttering
a single word of official protest
unless we are prepared to make
that protest effective, and only
the clearest and most urgent duty
would ever justify us in deviating
from our rule of neutrality and
non-interference."

May Roosevelt Come Back?

With the Republican national con-
vention but trifle over two months
off, that party appears to have sight
ed no real Moose in the offing to lead
it into the promised land-of power
and perquisites. 1t is true that a
number of "favorite sons" have been
announced as candidates for the presi-
dency, but the party leaders are prac-
tically ignoring them and are lying
awake nights trying to think of a
sure winner.
Some favor the CONSUMPTION of JUS
tice Hughes, although those who de-
sire a practical man in the White
House, and they comprise large ele-
ment that must be looked to for cam
paign funds, do not take to the no.
ton of Hughes cordially, fearing he
might not prove sufficiently "practi-
CAL" or tractable, as president to per-
NIT recoup of such campaign funds,
with a reasonable increment for the
use thereof. Judge Hughes is prob
Il
ably the strongest candidate, that par
] ty could name, yet the admitted fail
ure of the administration of another
eminent jurist, which ended in 1918,
leads to the doubt of nominating him,
even should he consent to accept, a
matter in which there seems to be
large doubt.
T. r. A Possibility.
Notwithstanding all the harsh things
said of Col. Roosevelt in 1912, the
scarcity Of strong candidates is in.
ducing a number of the old guard to
look upon him as a possibility with a
degree of assumed complacency, but
with lack of cordially. The calling
of the Progressive convention at Chi.
cago at the same time the Republicans
meet was doubtless for the Roosevelt
ian purpose of being in position to
either dominate the latter convention
or secure the Republican nomination If
he decided he desired that honor.
But, does he want it? Theodore
Roosevelt is undoubtedly the shrewd
