SHIPS UNDER OUR FLAG


The figures of the Bureau of Nav
igation for the year ending June 80
last, are formidable until analysed.
They show a merchant fleet of &c.
701 vessels with a tonnage of 5,42S,-
IT'S, as contrasted with a total ton
mage of 100000 in the British Mer-
chant marine.
However, of these 26,701 vessels
no less than 21,546 are barges, river
craft and small coast-wise vessels.
The strictly ocean-going ships num-
Der only 2587, despite the many trans
fers to our flag prior to June 80 I'M
der the new law. Of these more than
one-half are sailing vessels. Our
showing in this respect is vastly in
ferior to Germany's, and should con-
vince the doubtful of the necessity of
the ship-purchase measure.
However, two facts of especial in
terest are contained in the report. One
is that the vessels on the Great Lakes
number 1858, only 10 less than our
ocean-going boats. A large portion
Of these vessels are a type of freight
ers comparing favorably in capacity
and power with the average freight
carrier Of salt water.
This enormous fleet attests the wis
dom of the policy of waterway inn
provement. But for the work done
at great cost on lake harbors and hun
dreds of miles of shallow connecting
channels, this feet would never have
been called into being.
The second fact is that our entire
merchant feet is manned by 28,257
masters and 1922 other officers and
men, in addition to 1881 yachts of the
country. These 1921 men with a
greater or less familiarity with aqua
tic affairs, are a dependable force to
be counted on in plans for naval pre-
paredness.--Post Dispatch.

IN ADVANCE
is THE COUNTRY "HERoIC?"

Robert Bacon of New York gave &
luncheon last Friday at which Colone
Roosevelt, Elihu Root of New York
and Senator Lodge of Massachusetts
were guests. 1t is referred to as g
Roosevelt oot-Lodge reconciliation
luncheon. This political tid-bit is q
crumb that falls from the table:
Colonel Roosevelt, if convinc-
ed the country was aroused to
the frame of mind he termed che
roic", would consider it his duty
to accept a nomination at the Re-
publican Convention and, with the
Progressive party behind him,
seek to overthrow the Wilson adj
ministration whihc he, as well as
Root and Lodge, has charged with
the responsibility of placing this
country in an ignoble position in
its relation with other nations"
The assumption is that Messrs.
Root and Lodge are disposed to pool
their differences with their militant
enemy and accede to his demands, yet
there is a large doubt as to their
docility, and then there are Sherman,
Cummins and other aspirants to rec
kon with. But what a manifestation
of monumental assurance ON the part
of the Colonel is implied in the state
ment that if convinced that the coun-
try was aroused to a "heroic" frame
of mind he "would consider it his du-
ty," etc.
The country would like to know just
what the Colonel means by "heroic",
for he is as hazy and ambiguous in
that expression as he is in most of
his grandiloquent utterances. If he
means that if the country is so i'm
bued with the war spirit that it is
aching to rush into war with Ger
many over the irritating questions
with which it has to deal in conse-
quence of the European war, or go
back to Germany's old offense of vi
olating her treaty with Belgium by
that country bloody high
way to reach France, or to begin an
armed conquest of Mexico, we are of
opinion that he will hardly find it in
a "heroic frame of mind"
