of the Boston National League team,
yesterday disposed of his interests in

The Deutschland Sails.

The safe and unexpected arrival Of the mer-
chant submarine Deutschland, on July %, sur
prised and astonished the whole world 1t was
recognized at once that and great de-
parture had been made in the matter of navi-
eating the seas as to peace and to war. But
the safe departure of this same merchant subma-
rine from Hampton Roads for Bremen marks
still more important event in the matter OF
deep sea navigation, event that really will
mark the beginning Of era and this mainly
because it is now demonstrated for the first time
that such submarine craft can go boldly and
safely to sea in the very teeth of her most pow
erful enemies, occupying favorable and hostile
position of watchful waiting. 1t seems certain
from this demonstration that such submarine
can pass unharmed and even unnoticed in the
midst Of, and through the greatest dangers, and
all the implements of warfare heretofore devised
seem powerless against her when she is sub
merged and in a receding position. Capt. Koeng
says that where the water is sufficiently deep
he can sail under any enemy batteshp un-
detected. He might we'll say of the submarine
as Lord Byron said of the ocean itself "Ten
thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain" II
the battleships and navics OF the world were
powerless to interfere with this undersea traffic
then they have lost to great extent their use
fulness, because they could never control the
SCdS' NHu tHlS VI course raises inc question
as to the wisdom of putting the power of any
nation into the attempted control Of the seas
On the campus of the Naval Academy at
Annapolis stands a monument of heroic size
representing Indian chief with a quiver OF
arrows on his back. Riding in the harbor within
sight of this statue may be the great bat
tleships with their I3-nch guns. The difference
between the power of the bow and arrow and
the heavy ordnance is almost nexpressibIe, but
we easily see that the weaker weapons go
out of they superseded by
stronger useful ones. 1t seems quite
possible, and likely, that the power of the
great guns for submarine warfare will have to
be abandoned almost as completely the bow
and arrow.
As soon as the result of the last great naval
battle in the North Sea was known, Senator
Tillman, as chairman of the Senate Naval Com
mittee, Immediately added two battleships to the
naval building program. This did credit to his
enterprise, efficiency, and patriotism. With this
latest demonstration, however, and in the light
whether this plan should not be modified or post
poned
Many people intensely engaged in devils
ing means for peace, and especially in recon-
mending disarmament. Nothing has happened
for generations that makes strongly for dis
armament as the successful voyage of this SUBJ
marine. For there is no need to build armaments
that are Intellectual as the battleships against
the merchant submarine.

telegraph dispatch from Chicago an
nounced that upon the third ballot Abra-
ham Lincoln had been nominated for
President
"I had tried to keep in close touch with
public sentiment in the Republican party
and I was persuaded that large majority
Of the Republicans favored the nemina-
ton Of my father for President. While
the convention was in session ] received
many dispatches from Chicago. among
them being one from ThurIow Weed, in
which he stated that in his view there
was no doubt of the nomination Of my
father. He also intimated TO me what
he thought would be the best editorial
treatment by the Journal of the noni-
nation. We expected to put an extra

was short. but, as 1 thought. very good.
1t was put in type and was in the forms,
so that the paper would be ready TO 90 to
press as soon as the announcement OF
the nomination came, and the printers
had time to put that announcement in
type.
Then there came the dispatch which
told of the nomination Of Lincoln.
did not hesitate a moment. 1. lifted the
prepared editorial from the form, hur-
riedly wrote a brief editorial Of exactly
the length of the other, commencing the
nomination and asserted that it would
receive the full support OF the Republican
party, and il was put into type in a few
moments and inserted in the place where
the previous editorial had been placed
think in half an hour the paper was
upon the street. No one, excepting those
in the Office and, later. my father, knew
how suddenly this change was made.
The Washington herald., 1916-08-04

one OF the swiftest charges of a pre-
pared editorial that was ever made was
oescriped to me by the late Frederick w.
seward ana he was a competent witness,
Tor II was he who made the change. Mr..
Seward was in 1850 the editor of the
Albany Evening Journal, the newspaper
which Thurlow Weed founded and which
enabled him to maintain his high au-
thorlty as a managing politician.
Mr.. Stewards father. William II. Sew
ara, for year or more before the Re-
publican national convention met in Chi
cago, In May. 1850 was pre-eminently
Indicated as the choice Of the majority
OF the Republican party for the nomina-
ton for President. To that end Thuriow
weed had for four years labored con-
stantly. 1t was Weeds skiIlful political
management which brought TO Seward
his first nomination for governor Of New
York state. The two men we're intimate
personal as well as political friends for
many years, that close relationship hav-
ing been established as early as 1880.
Weed was so much occupied with po-
ntical management and with the forming
OF combinations which he believed would
make certain the nomination of Seward
FOR President that he had little time to
devote to his newspaper. Frederick W.
Seward was made editor. and it was from
the editorial office of the Albany Even
ing Journal that Mr. Seward went when
his father secured from President Lincoln
the nomination of his son for Assistant
Secretary of State in Lincoln administra-
tion, the senior Seward having been ap-
pointed by Lincoln Secretary Of State.

memory Mr.. Stewards description of the

The English people possess the highest re-
sPect OF the law and payment by punishment for
its violation. Perhaps there is no people who
entertain higher respect. In this country we
sometime find it difficult to understand the Eng
lish enforcement of law. This is true in the case
OF Roger Easement. Some of us will regard his
execution as an error. There is no doubt OF his
guilt There is no doubt that he had fair trial
There is no doubt that death is the penalty for
high treason. But some believe that the execu-
ton Of Easement was against the highest political
expediency. England today is at war and faces a
crisis. Her relations with Ireland are troubled
In America there many who will ask: Would
it not have been wise for England to have shown
mercy"

is as follows:

There have been frequent reports of So
called sniper firing at District Guardsmen since
Camp Ordway was established. On several oc-
casions shots have been fired through the camp,
narrowly missing numbers OF the Guardsmen.
On two occasions Cuardsmen have been wound
ed. The only reason they were not killed was
that the bullets did not penetrate vital parts
II Guardsman had been murdered there
would have been an outburst of indignation and
the chances are that the murderer would have
been found and punished. But the Cuardsmen
were only wounded. Therefore little. practi-
cally nothing, has been done Why wait until
some boy falls dead before apprehending the
snipers? Whether the shooting has been the
work Of lunatic, person with a perverted

orator is of little consequence. The county
authorities should not rest until the culprit is
