also a good man, but the bri-

was in the saddle at Chicago

bases its political convictions
upon the necessities of the am

Italy Held German Foe.

AMSTERDAM, June 1.-THE i'm
perial appeal court at Leipzig has rem
dered a verdict in which 1t is held
that Germany is actually, though not
formally, at war with Italy The case
in which the verdict was rendered
arose over a dispute about a war
clause in a contract for supply of
Italian produce.
The court decided that formally a
condition of war does not exist be-
tween Germany and italy, but never
the less in view of the Austro- Ger
man alliance, it must be considered
that Germany shares in the Austro-
Italian war because she is bound TO
send troops to replace on other sec

PERFORMANCE VS..
PROMISE
. USTICE HUGHES is an
able, scholarly man of

~ USTICE HUGHES is an
able, scholarly man OF
~ presidential calibre but
unfortunately for him he has
been nominated at a time when
the conditions logically call
for the reelection of the pres
ent incumbent.
There is no real ground for
the republicans to base their
campaign upon this year. This
is shown in the statement made
by Mr.. Hughes himself in ac-
cepting the nomination.
In brief Mr.. Hughes dealt
with the subjects of "Ameri-
can rights on land and sea, "
preparedness, the tariff and
general business legislation.
Taking up these subjects in
reverse order it may be truth
fully said that President Will
son has already delivered the
goods" with reference to eco-
nomic legislation. He has
given US the new currency sys-
TEN, the most far reaching and
beneficial legislation Of that
character in a half century, he
has given US the federal trades
commission, he has work
underway for a permanent tar
iff commission and that ac-
cOrding to the best thought in
the republican party itself will
solve the tariff problem. When
the program now underway is
finished how can there be
room for fair minded complaint
upon this score?
On the preparedness sub
ject Wilson has performed
what Hughes has Just com
menced to preach. The army
and navy measures already
passed or under passage by
congress, under the presidents
leadership, fill the specifica-
tons in the progressive and re-
publican platforms. They give
us an army Of 250,000 men, a
vastly improved militia and the
second largest navy in the
world.
With reference to "Ameri-
can rights" there are two phas-
es of the subject, the Mexican
and the European. As to Mex
leo we have practically every
available soldier and many mi
litiamen in Mexico or upon the
border. They are there for
the protection Of the American
border and the pacification Of
Mexico. We are doing every
thing that can be done short of
making war upon Mexico and
that would not be justified
since the defacto government is
friendly to our country and is
working to the same end as we
the restoration of peace and
order
In his acceptance message
Mr.. Hughes criticised freely
regarding Mexico, but he does
not say what he would have
done had he been president.
In the sanctity of the supreme
court he has had nothing to do

SHIP YARDS
InArnerica Are Too Busy to Ac-
ceptTs Contracts for New
Types ofVessels Now.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Reports
to the bureau oil navigation made
public today show. that many Ameri-
can ship yards crowded with work as
never before in their history. are re-
fuslng all contracts calling for new
types OF vessels and combining con-
struction to those types for which
plans have already, been drawn. With
23O merchant vessels, with total
tonnage OF about 100000 tons
building or about to be started, the
United States now is being out
stripped in construction only by
Great Britain and navigation bureau
officials see in the boom prospect
that the country may recover the po-
sitlon It held before the Civil war,
when 1T was the foremost nation In
shlpbuilding.
The amount Of tonnage under con-
struction in American yards has dou-
bled within the last year. 1t has in
creased nearly fifty per cent since the
first Of December and yards are so
filled with orders that many. have
work that will keep them steadily en-
ployed until we'll into 1917. Thirty
nine ships have been completed since
last July.
