IN PREPAREDNESS THE Ao-
MINISTRATiON HAS FOL-
LOWED, NOT LED.

In the demand for reasonable
preparedness the Administra-
tion has followed. not led. Those
who demanded more adequate
forces were frst described as
nervous and excited" Only
about a year and q half ago we
were told that the question OF
preparedness was not a press
Ing one; that the country had
been misinformed. Later. under
the pressure Of other leader
ship. this attitude was changed.
The Administration. 1t was
said. had learned something"
and 1t made a belated demand
for an Increased army. Even
then. the demand was not prose.
cuted consistently and the pres
sure exerted on Congress- with
respect to other Administrative
measures was notably absent.
We are told that the defects
revealed by the present mobili-
zation are due to the system"
But 1t was precisely such plain
defects that under the constant
warnings OF recent years. with
the. whole world intent on mai.
tary concerns. should have been
studied and rectihed. The Ad-
ministration has failed to dis.
charge It's responsibilities. Ap.

meet political exigencies by its

SUGAR IN THE SENATE.

The senate finance committee has
reported the house sugar bill with an
amendment which eliminates the in
definite extension of the duty on SUI
gar and fixes the period at four years.
The Louisiana delegation in con-
gress is united in opposition to the
proposed amendment, and an effort
is beings.1nsde to induce the president
to interpose his influence in the same
direction.
Confidence is expressed that the
house of representatives will not con-
sent to the change in the bill which
passed that body by a vote so over
whelming as to be almost unanimous.
and it is hoped the senate will yield
in the event of contest between the
two bodies.
Senator Hardwick Of Georgia has
developed into one of the most inn
placable enemies of the domestic SUI
gar industry, and is leaving no eff
fort untried to prevent the repeal or
suspension of the free-sugar clause of
the tariff act.

WAR NEWS.

There is much Of general interest
but little Of special note to report
from the scene of the European war
this week. The Germans continue
pounding at the French lines around
Verdun, and the French keep pound
ing back. The British forces took a
few trenches from the Germans to-
wards the northern end Of the great
battle line, and the Germans have
recovered a portion of the captured
defenses. Fighting Of increased in
tensity is in progress between the
Italians and Austrians. The Russians
have been displaying renewed activi-
ty against the Germans, besides main
tanning and following up their sue
eessful operations against the Turks
in the Caucasus region. Air attacks
have been made by the Germans
against Saloniki, which the allies
claim to have effectively countered.
German submarines are displaying iil-
creased activity in attacking and sink
ing vessels, an unusually large pro-
portion of which were of neutral ma
tionalities, and there is again the i'm
minent danger of a rupture between
the United States and Germany be-
cause of wrecking a British unarmed
steamship in the English Channel
with American passengers aboard.
Many reports emanate from Mexi-
co and border news sources concern
ing the progress of the punitive ex-
petition having for it's object the
capture and punishment of the bandit
Villa, but as much of this sort of
