Practically every State will have a
favorite son or two before the Republi-
can national convention at Chicago. 1t
is manifestly the conviction of all Re
publicans that the candidate of the
party must be one who will embody
the very best traditions of the country
and in his personality and character
give full expression to the aspirations
and hopes of the people.

TO-DAY'S EDITORIALS
Philadelphia Public Ledger: Colon,


Roosevelt, in his speech at the Met
ropolitan Opera House last night, wan
dered a good deal from the strict letter
of his text, which was Fear God and
Take Your Own Part" but he preached
sermon on preparedness which the
American people might do we'll to take
to heart. Contrary to what might have
been expected from the ex-President,
in the light of some of his recent
utterances in criticism of the Federal
administration and upon the subject
of military preparedness, he devoted
less than a quarter of his speech to
the military and naval needs of the
nation and to the subject of universal
military service. and dwelt instead,
upon the equally vital need of that
broader preparedness in national eff
ciencT of which Germany has given
the world so striking an example.
Philadelphia Press: Major General
Woods evidence before the Senate
military committee should arouse Con-
SreSS 10 some just conception of our
condition of unpreparedness. This
European war has shown that unless a
nation dominates the sea, a large body
of troops can be landed. ready for
fighting, on its shores with compare
tive ease. General Wood says trained
force of 100, 900 men could inflict in
calculable damage before an army
could be assembled to prevent it.
New York World: Aside from all
debatable matter, Admiral Fletcher's
report makes clear one very important
point. The United States navy to-day
suffers from a serious shortage both of
officers and men. 1t is generally known
that, by comparison with foreign ma
vies, American warships are under
officered. Admiral Fletcher urges that
the number of officers on the battle
ships be increased approximately 40
per cent. ito enable the vessels to at
tain their greatest efficiency" In this
respect Congress with the least pos
sible delay should act in the matter of
preparedness on Secretary Daniels
Annapolis recommendation. AS Ad-
miral Fletcher says, ''it takes approxi-
mately ten years to educate and train
an officer. and no amount of legislation
can provide officers when trouble is
imminent"

APPRECIATES WAR ..PRICEsn

Senator Reed, OF

Gently:
Enforce such a doctrine and the
price of every horse and mule in
America will fall to about 80 per
cent. of its value; likewise cattle
and hogs will so to about so per
cent of their value. All the pro-
ducts of our farms and mines and
cent of their value, and this coun-
try will be engulfed in a financial
and industrial catastrophe such as
the world has never seen.
The slump in this country before
the European war broke out indicated
that everything was going to drop to
fifty per cent. of its value and no pur-
chasers. It's rough on Dame Europe
but she has pulled us out of the hole
temporarily.

THE STATE FROM DAY TODEY

For that person who would rather
null over the eccentricities of events
and figures that never get him any
where, here are few kernels CLEANED
from a State contemporary. Over
certain avenue in the town wherein
this paper holds the leading place, il
has been estimated that so, 1000 persons
travelled afoot in one week. At the
same time 625 passenger trains were
counted crossing the same street, anc
so on, ad infinitum. 1t is our sincere
hope that no serious mental depres-
sion has resulted from the weeks
strain of figuring. Nightmares would
have no terror for such mathema'
tician.
The director of the Allegheny OBJ
servatory predicts an eclipse of the

also predicted that an eclipse of the
moon was to be visible yesterday

stay up to ascertain for ourselves
personally, so cannot vouch for the au.
thenticity of the prognostications.

BIG GUN BATTLE
CONTINUES ON WEST
Of MEUSE RIVER

PARIS, June 28.--To the west of
the Meuse the big duel continue last
night. The British offensive which is
now in its initial stage is taking the
form Of steady pressure against the
German line. Adopting the German
methods the British are pounding
away at the German positions night
and day with heavy artillery, and no
infantry attack is made until the way
has been effectually prepared with
shell fire.
French military critics warn the
people not to expect any spectacular
advance at the northern end Of the
line. 1t may be weeks, the military
men say, before the German lines
breal, beneath the constant pounding
of the French and British guns.
Premier BRAND who has just re-
turned from visit to the headquart-
ers Of General Sir Douglas Haig, is
deeply impressed with the prepare
lions made for the offensive particu-
larly the great amount Of heavy artil-
lery massed and the huge supplies of
shells.

June 2S-When word came 10 the ma

department had rejected Governor
Ralston's plan for an Indiana brigade

MEXICAN SPIES
COVER BORDER

Ell PASO. June 2S.-Information re.
garding disposition of troops was re-
fused today, although it is known that
all plans for the placing of the vari-
Gus guardsmen had been made. 1t
was expected that soon the first
guardsmen from the east would be
guardsmen from posses in the Ell Paso
district and at their posts along the
border.
1t is no secret that the Mexican de
facto government has in operation a
splendid system of espionage.
The danger of spies may be more
easily comprehended when it is stated
that fully half of Ell Paso's population
is made up. of Mexicans and in the 9th
err border towns the proportion is even
more overwhelming.

CONSTANTINE WILL DEMAND
EVACUATION OF KAvALA UNDER
PENALTY OF WAR ON BULGARS
LONDON Sent

bONDON, sept 26.
King Constantine will make an important
declaration either today or tomorrow. ac-
cording to advices received by the British
Foreign ONCE this evening. These advices
stated that reports that the Greek King has
left his capital are untrue.
The Foreign Office advlces left little
doubt that Greece is about TO declare war
on Bulgaria. The Kings proclamation, 1t
is believed here, will recite the invasion of
Greek territory by the Bulgars as the
reason for a declaration of war.
The contents of the messages to the For.
eign Office were made public to refute
reports from Rome and Copenhagen that
Constantine had left his capital The Copen-
hagen dispatch. which quoted the news
paper Neue Freie Presse as authority, de-
clares that the King would go to Constan-
tinople with his family for the remainder
of the war.
The Greek King will make formal de-
mand on Bulgaria that Kavala and other
Greek cities be evacuated Immediately under
penalty of war, Athens dispatches said.
Mobilization probably will be ordered pend
ing receipt of reply from Bulgaria. 1t
is believed here that Bulgaria will carry
with the statement that she has no intention
Of permanently occupying Greek territory.
Greece is then expected to declare war.
The Greek Cabinet met again today to
consider a draft Of the ultimatum.
