Defends Ford Publication


To the Editor Of The Times:
am tempted to answer the letter
OF Col. Robert VI. Thompson to
Henry Ford. The colonel attempts
to sidetrsck the all-important ques-
ton OF the Ford publication. He
does not furnish the requested proof
for the allegation Of the Navy
league that the country Is threat.
ened by imminent danger of inva-
sion, He does not give out the doc
uments In his possession which. II
is asserted, make imperative the de-
mand for speedy big armament in
the sense OF the league, but he pro
tests vigorously against Mr.. Ford's
publication OF alleged untrue utter
ances OF Rep. Tavenner as given In
the congress record, and accuses
Mr.. Ford OF circulating other peo-
Pies untruth. Whom does he mean
by "other people?" II II Mr.. Tav.

Whole nations mourned, and the news

William A. COmstOck
Should Succeed E. o. Wood
On National Committee

The fact that William A. Comstock is
mayor of Alpena proves the respect and
confidence of his fellow townsmen.
In cities the size of Alpena a man does
not get to be mayor because he is the
candidate of a machine or because he
happens to belong to the majority party.
Naming man mayor is the way cities
the size of Alpena have of honoring him
and paying recognition to his integrity
and capacity.
The fact that it required only three
days to get enough names to complete
the petition nominating him for national
eommitteeman shows the high regard
4for Mr. Comstock in the Democratic
paxty.
Owing to the lateness of the hour
when Mr.. Comstock consented to be
candidate, there was time to consult
cnly one side of the state.
The readiness and the numbers of the
Democrats who responded indicate that

The other day it was announced that
3.130 men-almost twice the number of
those who perished with the Titanic
had lost their lives in the sinking of the
French cruiser Provence.
Most Of the newspapers devoted but
a few inches of type TO the story, and
it was printed under a small headline.
The essence Of news is the UN-
USUAL.
If a man ends his life by jumping
from the roof Of a 16-story building.
that is news.
But if this form of suicide became a
habit in the community and people by
hundreds of thousands were dashing
their lives out on the city pavementS, a
single happening of the kind would COM
nand little attention.
The killing of one man by another IS
news.
A death from tuberculosis. except ir
the case of person prominent IN the
is not.
But if killings became as common as
they would no longer be
news.
When the Titanic sank. human life
was regarded as a sacred thing.
The loss of even a dozen lives was an
event of national Importance.
The loss of ,595 was world calamity.
But in these days, when the slaughter
of men by the tens of thousands in the
verdun hills and the marshes of Flan-
iers has become a part of the worlds
daily routine, the loss of paltry 5000
ives creates scarcely ripple.

JUNE WEEK A DISAPPOINTMENT

I'm more ways than one June Week
has been disappointment. 1t has
been unlike most June Weeks. indeed
1t has not been like any other June
Week, the festivities OF which have
been recorded in the sixty-four vol
umes OF this paper for the last thirty
TWO years.
IN the first place, the non-appear-
ance OF the Board OF Visitors was like

one thing 10 perform before anaudi-
euce oil critics, another TO perform be-
lore an audience OF people who are
and vino are not in the least interested
- the manOueyers only in the dress
aud style OF The multitude.
ms is pretty much what June Week
Oh 1916 has been like, and it has been
a disappointment, due to the failure
OF the Boarc of Visitors TO materialize

Entertainment was provided for sew
eral hundred guests, when but hand
iui appeared, the rest not daring TO
brave the dOwnpOur OF rain and the
electrical storm. When the sun did
shine, the temperature dropped To- a
marked chillincss, and from summer
weather, June Week took ON an Octo-
Der atmosphere and aspect. 1t was
from one extreme to the other, and the
dear young girl visitors, who had
brought trunks OF dainty, summary,
dimy frocks had to play hide and seek
with this mass of loneliness. with coats
and thanksgiving clothing.
Altogether, June Week has been a
disappointment TO most of the hun
dreds OF visitors here. and certainly
TO many of the townsfolk. 1t was al
most the same. as to weather condi-
tons last year, but the Board of Wis
itors then did show up on time. If
this sort Of thing keeps up. June Week
will be in the asme class with the
Fourth of March.

What the June Magazines Contain
of Interest to Readers.

The June cover of the Southern
Woman's shows a spirited drawing
by John Edwin Jackson done in honor
of the recent reunion at Birmingham
and pictuIing a gray-bearded Confed-
crate veteran holding alofI his beloved
battle flag.
In very varied table of contents
the matter of first Interest in this
number is the second prize story, 1.-The

more manuscripts submitted in the
magazines recently closed Short Story
Contest. 1t is tale Of the Mexican
border with a Mormon girl for its
heroine and, for it's intent, a matter
ttat comes perilously near bringing
on a suffrage discussion. A second
notable bit of fiction here is His
Rival" by Mary Woodson Shippey. a
new writer whose sprightliness Of
style. along with a grim tragedy ef
plot. won for her story an honorable
mention in this same contest.
The poetry of the number includes
some very charming verses, among
them Post Obtum," by George
Lawrence Andrews; Summoned, by
Arthur Wallace Peach, aid sprightly
little bit of humorous verse on Tine
Style" by Zella Armstrong, editor of

MOVING PICTURE ATTRACTIONS.
At The Colonial.

The celebrated actress, Constance.
Constance Collier, in 1.-THE Code os

lowing story. in part:
Il life as tranquil as a mid-sum-
mer's day; pilatial mansion with
every luxury that millionaire husband
could lavish upon her was Marcia's
lot. Untroubled by any care and sur
rounded by fashionable friends she
entertained upon an elaborate scale.
Gray, meanwhile, was passing through
very troubled waters financially. For
Gray was the president of big trust
company and ruin and disgrace loom.
ed ahead The crash came as Marcia
gave big dinner party. Gray kept
late, arrived as the guests having
heard the rumor were hurriedly de-
parting. The friends of prosperity
were fleeing the shadow of disgrace.
Gray's arrest followed. In this
hour of great need his wife was the
only one who rallied to his aid. The
wife seemingly deserted by all with
home and fortune lost, found that her
former sweetheart, the bachelor-law-
yer. Orlando Castle would gladly Civ e
aid-see the rest at the Colonial to-
night.
