JAMES II. ELIASON.

JAMES T. ELIASON, whose death is reported from
New Castle, was one OF the most prominent busi-
ness men in rural New Castle county In financial
commercial and agricultural circles he was equally
well known He was president OF the New Castle
Trust Company and director Of the Wilmington Trust
Company. As senior member of the old and we'll

failing to assemble sufficient force
for the task in hand.
The addition of a few vessels to the
United States navy is not sufficient for
the national needs. The time may
come Ven the navy will be COM
PEELED to meet powerful enemy in the
Atlantic and another in the Pacific
An inadequate fleet would meet the
fate of Admiral Cradock. For the
sake of the nation. as we'll as for the
sake OF the victims of such short
sightedness. it would he better not to
fight than TO go into battle with ami
hilatiOn as a fOregone conclusion. It
is to prevent such disaster that the
United States fleet is kept together,
so that its full power may be eXer-
cised for the protection of all its units
and the defeat of the enemy. If in
spite of this policy the enemy fleet
should be stronger and swifter. the in
evitable outcome would be annihila-
ton of the fleet and a train of cOnse-
quences too terrrible to contemplate.
Is the United States to adopt n pol
icy Of building a navy just strong
enough 10 make its loss a frightful
calamity and just weak enough to be
defeated by any one of the fleets OF
leadiEy nations? Is this nation to
proceed upon the theory that it will
not be called upto TO fight any except
the weaker nations. Does it aim to
excel only Italy or Greece or Spain?
The HOUSE subcommittee has seen
some light. but not enough. The full
committee should see more, the House
still more and the Senate enough to
enlarge the naval bill to a point which
will mean the rapid return Of the Uni
ted States to second place in naval
strength and the beginning Of a pro-
gram that will put it in first place.
The United States is now far ahead
OF any other nation in the world in
actual wealth and resources. It is
guardian of the western half of the
world Its navy should be stronger
than that of any other power. and
the program to make it such should
be adopted and begun this year.

STILL BOOSTING THE SHIPPING BILL.


THE insisonce OF the President that the House take
4 up and pass promptly the McAdoo Shipping Bill
seems likely to lead to amount Of friction between
Democrats and Republicans far in excess of any that
has occurred this session.
The Republican leaders insist that Congress should
proceed to pass the appropriation bills and il
they must take up the Shipping Bill and the Philip
pine Bill after the regular supply bills, which it is im-
portant TO pass before June 80.
Apparently there is little sentiment. even among the
Democrats, for these two administration measures and
the President fears that if he does not force them
through they will fail. The Republicans. OF
course, regard them both thoroughly perncious
measures.
President Wilson's activity in the Shipping Bill mat
ter is as offensive to Deawarcans is to the think
ing men in other states The Chamber of Commerce
OF the United States, tho Wilmington Chamber OF Com
and many other commercial organizations have
gone on record against such legislation.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 26.-Both the
houses of bishops and deputies will go
into executive session today to select
five new Protestant Episcopal bishops.
The bishops began their session early
while the deputies are holding off until
late today. If there is to be any per-
sonal political fight in the conference
of the church it will most likely crop
out today when the new missionary
bishops are chosen
The deputies decided on the late
hour of converting to give the upper
house ample time in which to send its
selections to the lower body for con
currence.
Clergy of the church no longer need
warn sick persons to make their wills
if the upper house concurs in a reso
luton passed by the deputies. The op
position to the clergy advising their
communicates legally on making OF
their testaments, was lead by Francis
A. Lewis, noted Philadelphia lawyer.
