Send Them Back.

Police Commissioner Woods should have
the cordial cooperation Of Congress in his
endeavor to change the law regarding
deportation Of alien criminals. AS 1t
stands, foreigners discovered to have COM
mitted crimes abroad may be deported at
any time within three years Of their ar
rival here. Commissioner Woods wants
to have the period for their deportation
limited only by their acquisition Of citizen
ship here.
Many Of the criminals with whom the
Police Department has to deal are foreign
born and unnaturalized. They may have
criminal records abroad but that fact fire.
quently is not discovered within the speci-
fed period. The result is that they remain
here, a constant menace. In its archives
the Police Department has instances Of
many SUCH If the Commissioners pro-
posed amendment were enacted they could
be shipped back home, relieving this city
Of danger and expense. The community
obviously would be better off for their
absence.

Housecleaning in Indiana.

There are two features of the defeat
of ex-Representative Watson by Harry ,.
New in the Indiana primaries which make
il of national interest. The first Is the
fact that it constitutes a staggering-per-
hans a fatal-blow TO the Republican Old
Guard in the Hoosier State. The second
is that this unquestionaby was made pos
sible by the return to the Republican party
of many of the younger and more liberal
element who left it 70 follow Roosevelt IN
1912. Desiring that the old organization
should again be their place of abode, they
determined on housekeeping and prompt
lv set about it to shovel out the Watson
Hemenway-Kealing aggregation so that 1t
might be habtable.
The result attained is worthy of emula-
ton elsewhere. Mr.. New is by no means
a radical, but he belongs to the younger
element Of Republicanism, in
which lies the hope Of the party. lie
would make a desirable Senator. His
presence in Congress would leave Indiana
Republicanism in better odor in national
affairs than it has been for considerable
time.

No PAYMENT for Wrappings.

In decision recently rendered by Judge
Beall, Of the City Court of Yonkers, lies a
grain Of comfort for the bedevilled house
wife whose weekly bills threaten TO exceed
her weekly appropriation for food. The de-
cision was rendered against Armour & Co.,
who, as is the custom with other packers,
have included the weight of wrappings and
Irvine in counting the weight of hams, ba-
con and the like Judge Beall holds thac
this practice is violation of the law de-
handing that each container of foodstuffs
be marked with the net weight Of its con-
tents.
Under this ruling, unless it be contested
and overturned, the packers will not be
able to charge the retailer for the weight
of the wrappings. The retailer, therefore,
will have no reason for passing along that
charge to the consumer. That individual,
who pays the freight for everything, may
at least hope to escape paying for the
unedible paper or burlap in which his
breakfast ham was wrapped.

Prohibition by Indirection.
10 Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. William ". Anderson. OF the Anti
Saloon League, in his letter published In The
Tribune Of this date, says that the issue
raised by the optional prohibition referendum
BILL now pending in the State Legislature, is
not prohibition, but the right OF tho people
10 vote on the question Of prohibition. This
statement is fatty contradicted By the Anti
Saloon League year book, which says that
the bill in question Is "the ripe fruit Of TWEEN
ty years experience IN drafting legislation
designed to prepare tho way FOR absolute
prohibition" and that "the purpose Of the
league is to organize public sentiment and
prepare New York State for national pro-
hibition."
Mr.. Anderson claims that the purpose Of
his bill Is to give a vote on the liquor ques-
ton TO every voter In the state This is mis-
leading and inaccurate. His bill does not
give all the people Of the state a vote on the
liquor question, but merely allows them 70
vote for or against the licensed sale o.
our large cities, constituting four ffths Of
the state population, 10 vote on the question
OF permitting the sale OF liquor during GER
tain hours on Sunday, nor does il give them
vote on removing other restrictions on the
liquor traffic, II is, In fact, a onc-sided, I'M
fair measure, masque rading az a move in the
direction OF majority rule and local self
government, but really intended 70 foist pro-
hibition upon the state by indirect methods

Our Helgoland.


According to Rear Admiral Grant, instruct
ing the House Naval Committee in the mat
ter of submarine defence, Block Island IS
the natural Helgoland Of the Atlantic
Coast" The comparison, in strategical geog-
raphy, is manifestly close, though Germany
Helgoland is a much smaller rock than ours,
so less useful for military purposes.
Should a naval base be created in New
port Harbor, such as the Germans have at
Wihelmshaven and the British at Ports
mouth, Block Island could be made an i'm
pregnable outpost. With submarines based
at New London-an arrangement already be-
ing developed-the island would be step
ping stone and advanced station enabling
them the more widely to extend their opera
lions out on the ocean.
Narrow waters have become immensely
helpful for coast defence with tho develop
ment Of mines and submarines. as has been
demonstrated at the Dardanelles and in the
Baltic, the Straits of Dover, the English
Channel and the Irish Sea. Great Britain
and France are exposed for the greater part
of their coasts, but Germany, with her Bal
tic front secured by the tortuous Scandi-
navian entrance ways, also has a buffer for
her shore line on the expansive North sea
staked out By the island Of Helgoland, thir-
ty-ive miles distant
Block Island is ten miles from the Rhode
Island mainland. II the strategsts could

full. But Colonel Churchill's speech will
probably tend to encourage the appre-
tensions so sedulously propagated by a
portion Of the British press, and perhaps
revive the clamor for the reinstatement
Of Lord Fisher, whose indiscreet partlsans
had apparently been silenced. What has
Colonel Churchill learned in the last
three months TO convince him that the
services of Lord Fisher are so absolutely
indispensable? He says that on the resig-
nation Of Prince Louis Of Battenberg he
made it plain that he would work with
no other First Sea Lord" and it is true
that on former occasion he paid tribute
TO Lord Fisher for the new wave Of i'm
pulse and enthusiasm" he brought with
him. 1t is impossible TO forget, how
ever, that on the same occasion he com
planned bitterly Of lack both Of "clear
guidance" and Of firm support" and
virtually accused his associate Of evadlng
responsibility.
His sudden conversion has astonished
even Lord Fishers supporters. and they
will probably make the most Of it, but it
may very well be doubted whether the
naval service as a whole is eager to see
Lord Fisher restored to Office. The ne
ccssity for a change at this time is not
clearly established, and unless Lord
Fishers friends can formulate their OBJ
jections to the present naval administra-
ton it is unlikely that Colonel Churchilps
criticism will be needed. The service and
the country at large have more confidence
in Mr.. Balfour than in the ambitious poll
tician who preceded him in office, and viii
find it difficult 20 believe that his spectacu-
lar temperance in the quality of an
alarmist is wholly dsinterested.

Canada's Part in the War.

There has been some opposition TO Sir
Robert Borden's plan for strengthening
the Canadian contingent in Europe, but
the objections raised by such influential
men as Lord Shaughnessy must not be
taken as indicating the slightest difference
of opinion on Canada's responsibility.
Lord Shaughnessy made it clear at the
Montreal meeting Of military officers and
business men last Thursday that his mis-
givings are due entirely TO practical con-
siderations, the vital question being in
what way Canada can best serve the in
terests Of the empire. It is as clearly
recognized by the people OF Canada as by
the Australians-and for that matter the
Irish-that the war is not merely Eng
lands war, and that they are not con-
cerned in sentimental question of help
ing the Old Country. As Mr.. Bonar Law
remarked not long ago, It Is no more a
question of the loyalty of Canada TO the
United Kingdom than OF the United King
dom TO Canada.
Lord Shaughnessy's objection TO raising
the army 70 half a million men is that
the attempt may cause grave depletion
in the working population. lie says that
a part of the first Canadian contingent is
still in England, and no less than 10000
men are now waiting in Canada without
any immediate prospect of going abroad
The maintenance Of so considerable an
army Is costly, and in his opinion the bust
ness Of recruiting has already been pushed
too hard. He believes it would have been
much wiser 10 go about it slowly, saving
the country perhaps 100000 a month
for future use.
That Lord Shaughnessy's view Of the
problem is not the popular one was
shown IN the resolutions adopted at the
meeting urging the employers Of Mon.
treal 10 encourage their men % enlist. But
It Is view that is quite understandable
The Canadian people 50 far have not had

and there has been some grumbling at 'he
taxation imposed by the government. IL
is generally recognized, however, that the
war was entered upon with the consent OF
an overwhelming majority and that fur-
Their sacrifices must be faced and accepted
Not unnaturally, however, doubts exist as
to the economy of the administration,
and some think It shortsighted to spend
vast sums of money in raising fighting men

Our navy is apparently as dangerous as

much Of the efficiency OF our navy has been
removed By the present Secretary OF the
Navy, By experiment.. and blunders. navy
is dangerous simply because it Is backed by
a nation Of men of action, Of brains, of abil-

hold burglar at bay with a damaged toy
