WHAT LESLIE VI. SHAW
SAYS OF PREPAREDNESS

There is no one who can doubt
the Republicanism of the speeches
delivered in this city yesterday by
Leslie NJ. Shaw, former Secretary Of
the Treasury. No Is there, we think
anyone who will not admire him for
the sense of justice and fair play
which he showed when he spoke as
follows:
IL have no hesitancy in admitting
grave doubts whether the Republi.
can party can even If It should try
and also whether it ought to try to
defeat the party now in power up.
on an issue of excoriation because
It has failed to accomplish in -four
years what we failed to do in forty
years. If we have a small and made
quate army and navy. the Republi-
can party is so per cent. responsible
for its inefficiency, for the Republi-
can party has been in power so per
cent of the last half century. If our
coast defenses are silly, | submit 1t
does not lie in the mouth of the Re-
publican party to say much about 1t.
Let the next administration be bus
mess administration, and while pre-
pairing for peace let it also do what
we all agree should be done-pre-
pare for eventualities that may en-
sue"
1t is well that such a statement
should have been made, and by a
Republican whose orthodoxy and 10y
atty are beyond reproach or suspic-
ion. Of course the statement is true.
And being true it would be most dis
honest-and might be fatal-for
the Republican party to go into this
campaign on the theory that 1t was
not true. The fact is that no ad-
ministration, no matter what its po-
litical complexion, has ever found
it easy, or, as far as anyone can see,
ever will find it easy, to do for the
army and navy what many of us
have just come to see ought to be
done. Anti-militarism is in our
blood, and we should be thankful
that it is. But that is also a rea-
son why We need have no fear of
militarism as result of any policy
that is likely to be adopted. The
danger is that we shall not go far
enough rather than that we shall
60 too far. There are, of course,
other obstacles, many of them of
serious character-one of them be-
ing pork. II indianapolis Journal.

Sunday May was the anniversary

than 1900.

Panic in Wall street on Monday
following the disaster.
Berlin issued a statement, en-

President Wilson sent his first
'Lusitania note" May 13, demand
ing an apology, reparation and as
surances that it would not be re-
peated.
Germany replied. May 2S, sug-
costing further parleying, contend
ing the Lusitania was destroyed by
an explosion i'm its own cargo.
William Jennings Bryan resigned
as Secretary of State after reading
the answer to Germany's note, which
was sharper than the first. Germa-
ny replied, July 8, assuring safety
for neutral vessels, but refusing any
protection to Americans on belliger-
ent ships.
United States aroused by evasive
attitude of Germany. President
Wilson sent his third note two weeks
later, giving notification that rela-
tons would be broken unless the
submarine policy was amended.
Germany remained silent for 80
days and then torpedoed the Arabic,
killing two Americans.
Ambassador Won Bernstorff then
announced that no more liners
would be sunk unless they were
armed or attempted to escape.
Germany, through Won Bern
storff, offered to take up the matter
of reparation for Americans killed
on the Lusitania. but the matter is
still pending

TAFT PRESENTS PLAN
FOR PEACE OF WORLD
Ex.President Explains To the
World Court Congress His
Ideas On Subject.

Former President William II.
Taft was the chief speaker at the
opening of the World Court Con-
gress in New York City last week,
and he outlined a plan for world
peace which he claimed to be "prac-
teal, not merely a matter of dream
ing.
The plan advocated by Mr.Taft and
other speakers contemplates a World
Court constituted along lines SINH
lar to the United States Supreme
Court, in which all of the nations
may be represented, and members
shall be lawyers whose decisions
the nations of the world shall en-
force. Preparedness in the interest
of peace was the keynote of the
speakers.
Speaking of arbitration, Mr.. Taft
said that it usually is the end of dip
lomatic Cancellation, compromise
involving concessions by both sides
to controversy.
1T is apparent" the ex-President
continued, that a world court could
not provide for the settlement of po-
litical and other non-judicial ques-
lions that may lead to war and which
cannot be disposed of in accordance
with the rules of the law and equity.
Nevertheless, it will be an enormous
step in the avoidance of war to have
such a court, and the example it will
furnish in a very large field of con-
troversy, the settlement of which
will avoid war, cannot but have
profound influence in also stimulat-
ing settlement by negotiation and
compromise and by arbitration of
questions outside the possibility Of
judicial settlement.
What We are seeking is an ar
rangement for a tribunal into which
nations will be likely to go and bind
the settlement of legal questions on
known and understood principles of
international law by court they
are much more likely to bind them
selves in advance than they are to
agree to accept as conclusive decis-
ions of a commission of arbitration
on every question, whether legal, po-
litical or social"

affairs, there is no reason why he
should not make a good soldier and
render valuable service in the case
of a war between the United States
and some foreign country. The his
tory of the Jews is rather that Of
traders, farmers, herdsmen and law
makers, but such Old Testament ev-
licences as David and Joshua, that
the Jew is capable of being a good
and brave soldier, should not be for
gotten. Many Jews fought in the
American Civil War with both the
Union and the Confederacy and
made good soldiers, so this regiment
should be considered a valuable ad-
dition to the national defense.-t

On the Fly.

What is believed to be the first
time on record of a hen laying an
egg in midair was the unusual ac-
complishment of brown leghorn in
the express Office at Graham. The
hen was confined in a coop of chick
ems. After the coop had been placed
on truck the brown leghorn escap-
ed and while flying dropped a snow
white egg into space. John Jones, a
colored roustabout. who was pursu-
ing the hen, caught the egg as it
dropped.-t Mayfield Times.
