BOOK ON MERCHANT MARINE.

The Heritage OF Tyre" timely and
attractive little volume by William
Brown Meloney. a newspaper man, well
known in Washington, presents a won-
derfulIy eloquent and convincing argu-
ment to thoughtful readers for the re-
storation to Americans OF their rightful
heritage, the commercial supremacy OF
the seas.
In entertaining language Mr Meloney
reviews the romantic history of our early
merchant marine and advocates a logical
and well-studied plan mot government
ownership which may regain for US our
lost prestige.
In the closing chapters OF his book, Mr.
Meloney shows conciuslvely that the
questions of preparedness" and the "in-
dependence Of American commerce" are
interdependent and of equal importance
and that the time is ripe for US TO seize
the opportunities now afforded by world
wide conditions in commerce.
1t is a big subject, handled in a mas
terly style by the writer. who has en-
livcned his work by a spirit Of sincerity
and earnest patriotism.

against newspaper criticisms of the bill
and declared it was useless to try to en-
tighten these densly ignorant newspape
editors who have been attempting 10
write this legislation without knowing
anything about it."
Representative Augustus P. Gardner, Re-
publican. of Massachusetts,, who made the
principal speech against the conference
report, hotly asserted that the army bill
WAS a 'pacifist measure"
1T will be voted for by every pacifist
m the, House and will meet the ap-
probation of every pscifist throughout
the country" shouted Mr.. Gardner.
For a nation as great as ours to
support an army no bigger than we have
today" said Mr.. Gardner. ''is almost as
sensible as it would for Ty Cobb to at
tempt to hit Walter Johnson's pitching
with a sulphur match instead OF a bat"
Mr.. Gardner voted against the con.

other Republicans evidently took the same
view -
