navy can be even second class. The Secretary
of the Interior actively supported this sur

The Secretary of the Navy and the Attorney
General opposed it. Wilson remained neutral
and did nothing.
Because Wilson refused TO take sides or
took the wrong side the question whether the

the Shields and Myers water power bills and
the Phelan oil bill is still unsettled. Thee

between the men who would grab the public
resources for private profit and those who
would conserve them for the of all the

the people will keep them. There is no mid

To sum up. as in many other matters, the
promise made was not performed. Instead OF
progress in conserving our resources, the last
two years have seen a bitter and often los

spirit of internationalism has always ex-
listed between this country and France. In
internationalism of this kind there is MOTH

tempt to make that nation self-respecting,

effort to occupy a position Of world leader

There is, however, a so-called "interna-
tionalism" which is not based upon any one
Of these definite ideas, nor upon any con-
crete scheme of human organization or
practical policy, but is merely sentiment
tai attitude toward humanity in general,
? feeling of "brotherliness" spread out so
far and thin that it can never concentrate
upon any business at hand. And since
every man is some particular kind Of man
there is no such thing as humanity in gen.
eral. Such internationalism is only the
worship of an abstract idea.
Internationalists of this type seek the
unity of all men by the easy method OF
ignoring all the actual allegiances and
particular relations of everybody. Kings
lev in his book "Alton Locke" makes his
old Scotch bookseller say of such an at
tempt to unite all mankind upon the one
fundamental principle of their commonhu-

clothes off them and saying, eye are all
brothers now on the one fundamental prln-

True internationalism, great friend

tainly TO be desired, but it will never be
achieved without healthy national self-re-
spect, constructive effort and intelligent
world craftsmanship. Such a federation
of the nations is very practical and diff
cult piece of business, and one of the chief
obstacles in the way Of its accomplish

itor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | have just read the full text of the
legal arguments in the Roger Easement case,
which have not yet, believe, been published
in America When they are published here
they may leave most of us, as they left me,
of the opinion that Easements execution was
as good law as it was bad politics; but shall
be surprised if they do not impress most
readers with the fact that the defendants
lawyers were deporably lacking in legal lore
1t will be recalled that the defence
amounted to an attack upon the indictment
1t was contended that this instrument was
faulty because the act under which it was
brought dwelt only with treason within the
Kingdom of England whereas it was out
side Of England that Easement was alleged
10 have committed the offences charged
against him. But Easements lawyers were
unable TO cite case thoroughly in point.
1t is therefore evident. although amazing
that these lawyers were ignorant Of the LORI
Lovel case. Lovel was arraigned for his
connection with the Stuart rebellion Of l,@5.
The arraignment was in England; the Of
fences had been committed in Scotland The
prosecuting attorney admitted that in these
circumstances ne COu4Q IOl ltEd4l] p4pN'NN
under such a law as we have now seen en-
ployed against Casement-admitted that il
would be illegal TO indict Lowell in England
for overt acts done in Scotland-and for that
reason the government specially proceeded by
impeachment
One can logically conclude only that Case
ment's solicitor was ll-nformed in drawing
up his brief and that the Irish X. c. argued
from the brief alone.

Kaufman has in mind the notorious

points raised at Easements trial. Lord

act of 1903 should convince Mr.. Kaufman
that he has Inexperienced the matter en-

Education for the Esquimaus.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: | was much interested in the diverting
story in to-day's Tribune of Meme Wallace,
the Esqumau-largely because | saw Wallace
in 81. Johns, Newfoundland, and came to
New York on the steamer with him. Wallace
apparently was obsessed with the idea that
he was destined to become a sort of inter-
rational figure. ! gathered right away that
he was endeavoring to surround himself with
mystery, although | did not know his name
and knew little of him. | merely heard a
rumor that he had been with the Peary polar
expedition and had some valuable secret In
formation which would throw light on the
real discovery OF the North Pole"
Wallace took the air daily on the lower
deck Of the steamer. Several times | at
tempted 10 draw him into conversation, but
he haughtily declined to have discourse with
me. assuming a who-are- you-anyway manner
when | addressed him. From my observation
of people and their modes of living in the Far
North do not agree with this Americanized
Esquimau that education would be hurtful to
them. In fact, very great benefit already has
been achieved for the Esquimaus and fisher
folk of Newfoundland and Labrador through
the efforts of Dr. W. 7. Grenfell and his assoc
ciates and also through the uplift work of
the more enlightened residents of the larger
towns in Newfoundland and Labrador. A
drastic prohibition law will so into effect the
first of the coming year in 81. Johns, New
foundland, and only those who have been
there can realize how beneficial this will be
to st. Johns and the whole of Newfoundland.

The Zeppelin Fiasco.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The reports IN certain American pa
pers of the Zeppelin raids on England make
queer reading for Americans in England.
It cannot be too clearly stated that the
raids are failures from any and every point
of yiew-that people decline to get into the
smallest sort of panic; that the actual dam
age is slight and the moral and intellectual
damage slighter Except to the Germans,
whose morals arc non-existent and whose IN
tellect is ANIMAL, and that the raids are
regarded only as a free and secondrate dis
play of fireworks.
Amused contempt" is the verdict of a dis
tinguished neutral on the state of mind of
the British public.

Another Zeppelin Failure.

Both of the airships brought down yes
terday in the great raid on England are
described in the official report as large and
"of new pattern" 1t was known that
vessels Of an improved type had been laid
down this year and their appearance was
expected in England at any moment. There
were reports about two months ago that
one had been seen on her trials over Lake
Constance, and since then the same vessel
or another of a similar description has
been reported from the North Sea. Two
of this type are believed to have taken
part in the raid of September %, and 1t
was hoped that the ship destroyed by Lieu
tenant Robinson was one of them. In any
case. these last two raids have been costly,
and if the losses proceed at the present
rate this method of Furnishing England
will soon lose its vogue in Germany.
Lord Montagu of Beaulieu gave some
account of Germany's latest airships few
weeks ago. From this it appears that they
are not only very much larger but far
more efficient than the earlier types, ex-
ceeding them in range, carrying capacity,
speed and power of climbing and ma
npuvring. They measure at least $50 feet
in length. with a beam of 80 feet, and the
gas capacity is about 100000 cubic feet.
Their cruising speed is probably not much
more than thirty-fve miles an hour and
their radius with half-load some 5000
miles. 1t is reported that with their load
discharged they can rise to 1900 feet,
but that is doubtful.
1t is impossible as yet to say whether
either of the vessels destroyed in yester-
days raid answers this description, but
however that may be, the Germans could
not we'll afford to sacrifice two out of the
fourteen or fifteen engaged in the raid
1t is doubtful whether at present they pos
sess more than twenty at the outside fit to
be used for such purpose, and it is proba-
bic that in the last two raids they did
their utmost From all trustworthy &C
counts it is evident that the damage done
was comparatively insignificant, and the
slaughtering of a few people can by nc
means make amends for the loss of two
ships.
Viscount French speaks with approva
of the methods used to reduce light in the
metropolis, intimating that the three Yep
pelns that did reach the outskirts were
lucky rather than skilful. Their Difficult
ties in this way show the absurdity of the
claims made in the German official reports
They can hardly pick out great town, YET
they pretend TO describe in detail the dam
age done to objects minute by comparison
The present type Of airship even in fleet:
Of fifteen or so is evidently of no grea
value for this kind Of work. 1t offers {
large target to land batteries and is con
sequently obliged to ascend to grea
heights, from which missiles can be dis
charged only at hazard in the vague hope
of doing useful damage. There is no evi
dence that useful damage has been done.

What Is Internationalism?

Much of the protest against policy of
vigorous nationalsm comes from those who
see in such a deepening of the national
a challenge to the ideal Of
Should not these de-
tractors Of nationalism make it clear what
they mean by "internationalism" The
word covers various meanings. "Interna-
tional," in the teachings Of the school Of
Bakunn, signifies a denial Of all national
sovereignty and Of all legal restraint and
their replacement by free union of self
governing individuals. Such International
ism is only another name for anarchism.
To men like Goethe and Ibsen international
ism means nothing mare than a worldwide
republic of letters, the indifference Of poets
TO things political, cosmopolitan recogni-
ton of intellectual superiority wherever it
may be found. To II. G.. Wells, on the
contrary, internationalism takes the def
mite form Of the establishment Of world
state. To Pope Gregory VII information
alism meant a spiritualized humanity,
united as one great Catholic family, under
the guidance Of devout hierarchy. To
Karl Marx, and to Socialists generally the
word "internationalism" stands for a
worldwide economic organization of the
working classes, united in revolutionary
movement for the establishment Of the CO.
operative commonwealth.
TO most people internationalism means
good neighborliness among the nations,
wherever that neighborliness is economi-

Following out the provisions of Ordinance No. 99, embracing the the city milk regulations, City Health Officer H. K.

The publication of this report elsewhere in The Repub- lican this morning. places the result of this work squarcly before the public and will no doubt be of more than passing interest to every citi- zen of Phoenix

HALLS CASE SET
 FUR NEXT MONDAY

NJ. C. Hall, charged with disturbing the peace when Fannie Howard, col ored, refused to pay eight dollars for an ice cream soda at the fountain con ducted by Hall in the Busy Drug Store, will be given a chance on Monday be-
 fore Justice P. F. Parker to explain just what happened leading up to his arrest. Hall operates the soda foun
 tain in the popular pharmacy at Cen tral avenue. and Washington street under lease. His conduct of that department is in no way connected with the drug store. Although located in the establishment it is no part of it.
 Hall is from Texas where it is not the custom to serve negroes. In con- ducting the soda fountain in this city he carried out that policy as far as possible. This resulted in the mix up on Thursday that ended in his arrest In enforcing his policy ile did not con- suit the management of the drug store nor did he receive any instructions from that source against such service

The spring exhibit of the Print Makers club of Los Angeles is being shown at the Tempe Normal school and will attract many art lovers from Phoenix who will not be given oppor- tunity to view the exhibit in this city. The exhibit is being taken to California from the galleries of the east and will be shown at the normal until next Thursday It was through the courtesy or Benjamin Brown, president of the Print Makers, and also president of the California Art Club, that the prints were sent to tue normal. MT. Brown was one of the judges of the art exhibi- ton at the Arizona State fair and was greatly pleased with the interest taken in art in Arizona. He has done much i to advance the movement here and his interest has been thoroughly unselfish.
 It was largely through his influence that the splendid loan collection was
 secured last season and he has again
 offered his aid for the coming year. i The collection at the normal is said
 to be most interesting. The pictures
 have been hung to good advantage
 and the exhibit will be open to the
 public for the next few days.

LONDON, June 3.-A long distance message from Lieut.. Sir Ernest Shackleton, who has arrived at Port Stanley, Falkland islands, describes the misfortunes which overlook his Ant arctic expedition. His ship Endur- ance was pierced by iceberss and sank in the Weddell sea on November 20, having been abandoned by all hands on October 27.
 Shac1lleton and his crew reached Elephant Island on April II in boats after series of privations and suffer ings in the. drift ice several of the party being then on the verge of physical collapse.
 Owing to the seriousness of the food situation and the impossibility of finding any very satisfactory camping place on the bleak coast, Shackleton decided to make an effort to reach South Georgia, 760 miles distant. Ieav ing the main party on Elephant Island in charge of Frank Wild, the second in command.
 Lieutenant Shackleton left on April "A with five volunteers. Then ensued fortnight of terrible struggles against blizzards and other difficul- ties, but finally the west coast of
