Eye that Sees
Above the Fog

hyery year the fog banks of the
ocean claim long list of victims
and collisions will happen until
some ways or means are devised
for preventing such accidents. No
human eye can penetrate fog aud
see what danger may be lurking
ahead. But now the fog periscope
has been invented by w. e. Me-
Laren of New York CITY. The ap
paratus utilizes lhe perlscope prin-
ciple, which, up to he present, has
been limited to submarines.
Mr.. McLaren's idea is to attach
the fog periscope TO the ioremast
of a ship, the device being made
In three or II ore sections, as found
necessary, telescoping one into an
other. The whole, when collapsed,
will be housed 10 the foremost,
or housing made for that pur-
pose and attached to themast. Che
length Of each section of The tele-
scopic steel mast will he approx
mately 100 feet, so that in case of
low. lying foge, 1t would be neces-
sary to hoist only one or two sec
tions.
The mast, whose uppermost sec
tion is eight inches in diameter, has
mirrors aud focusing points, simi-
lar to the submarine periscopes.
The mirrors at the top which re-
fleet the light and objects seen
down to the focusing points, are
Of the universal type, so that the
observer can see 10 every direction
without turning the periscope.
With the top Of the mast ex-
tending above the fog the ooserv.
Ell below could see if other ships,
eimilarly equipped were in the
vicinity. If such were the case it
would be an eHsy matter for one to
stear clear of the other The top
of the periscope should have a
colored light which could be seen
in the night
1t can be readily seen that the
periscope principle could be ap-
phed IN Case the ship vac nearing
the shore, as all lighthouses would
be equipped with telescopic de-
vices, which would display light
by night and flag by day when
fog set in. Under present condi-
tions lighthouses are prartically
useless in foggy weather, as light
does not penetrate, nor are bells
heard, any distance in fog. The

A Dangerous Bill.
importance.

Without considering the question whether or
not absolute prohibition would prove wise and
beneficial policy for the District of Columbia the
so-called Sheppard bill may be pronounced a
dangerous measure that cannot possibly, in its
present form, command majority votes in Senate
and House. Unless amended it must fail because
OF its provisions that present menace to peace and
order. The announcement by the officers of the
Saloon League that they will permit the SEN
ate and House to amend the bill to avoid the de-
than 200 workers in the District OF Columbia, is
Of course gratifying; and perhaps Senators, Rep
resentatves and citizens will pocket their resent
ment at the shaping of the Capitals destiny
through this agency. But there are other pro-
visions in the Sheppard bill that promise trouble

the measure are no doubt in accordance with the
intentions of the Anti-Saloon League, but it is
inconceivable that Congress will approve them;
nor is any demand for such legislation apparent.
The bill should be taken from the Anti-Saloon
League committee and referred to some commit

Brig Gen. Clarence r. Edwards,
commander of the Panama Canal gar
rison, arrived in Washington yester-
day having been summoned here to
appear before the Senate Committee
on Military Affairs.
with Gen. Edwards testimony the
Senate Committee expects to close its
hearings on army legislation and take up
the work of formulating a bill
Few officers of the regular army
are better known the country over
than Gen. Edwards. He was former
ly chief of the Bureau of Insular At
fairs which he organized when he
was on duty at Washington. He has
been identified with the Philippine
government in some capacity almost
ever since the American occupation
until he was relieved as Chief of the
Bureau of Insular Affairs about three
years ago. His first command atrer
leaving Washington, was in the Ha-
waiian Islands, where he reorganized
the garrisons and brought them up to
war strength. From Hawaii Gen. Ed
wards was transferred to the Second
Division. from where he saw some
strenuous service on the Mexican
border.
Gen. Edwards is now engaged in or
ganizing the mobile army in the
tions of the General STAFF are follow
ed a new department will be created.
On account of his varied experience
and the marked ability which Gen.
Edwards has displayed in organiz-
ing the Insular Bureau and the troops
in the field. the Senate Committee
decided that he should be brought to
Washington to submit a report on the
proposed reorganization bill that is
pending before Congress.
The Committee on Naval Affairs of the
House has printed in the report of the
hearings on the bill for an increase in
the number of midshipmen a complete
stenographic report of the proceedings OF
the committee when II decided to make
a favorable report on the measure. Rear
Admiral Samuel McGowan, paymaster
general of the navy, was called in to the
meeting to answer some questions as to
the details of the bill, and quotations
from him as he replied 10 questions make
up good part of the printed hearings.
The report is complete in every detail,
the official stenographers making note OF
the fact that 1.-The clerk of the com mittee
thereupon handed some papers to the
chairman" Representatives Galloway,
Hensley, and Buchanan opposed the bill
and heightened the report with numerous
and irrelevant questions.
Finally Mr.. Buchanan announced that
he would not vote for the bill on account
of IAN evolution in regard to methods OF
warfare" Mr.. Buchanan went on to
argue at length that submarines, mines
and aircraft had antiquated battleships.
Mr.. Gray suggested that even If this
were true the navy would need officers
to- operate submarines and the other ves-
sells enumerated by Mr.. Buchanan. This
did not placate the gentleman from Illi-
nois. and it is reported that he reserves
the right to oppose the bill on the floor.

A Sinister Sentiment,

Five negroes hung to single lirnbl That is
Georgia,s latest record. That is the newest feat
OF the State which has into such unpleasant
notoriety because of its recent ynchings. Only a
few weeks ago number Of negroes were lynched.
AT the present rate, Georgia lynchers will be the
undsputed champions of the country in the art
of stringing men up contrary to the mandates OF
the law.
Georgians argued that they knew best, when
Frank was lynched. There was some sympathy
for the attitude OF the Gcorgians in this instance.
But that Sta:. is eliminating the sympathy which
outsiders have felt for it. The grievousness of the
negro problem, when some incident makes it acute
is generally recognized throughout the South, and
elsewhere when men have any knowledge of the
problem aside from theoretical knowledge.
Yet every man must know that there are GER
tain fundamental principles of government even of
Christianity, which grossly violated by the
practice of lynching This practice cannot be con-
doned. The effect is harmful, is brutalizing Law
is set aside; men go in crowd to do evil. There
is at least one county in Georgia according to
ports, where negro dare not show his face This
county has rid itself Of the black man by a system

The Litigants in the Appam Case.

I Surprise at the sudden appearance in American
waters of British passenger ship believed to have
been lost, in charge OF German prize crew. and
the odd international complications involved fully
account for the magniied interest and importance
attached to the case of the Appam. No great naval
vessel of war captured this peaceful merchantmen
and placed aboard her prize crew, which brought
her across the Atlantic and into an American har-
bor Revelation of the fact that such German
raider is at large of course added to the excitement
here, though no doubt it was we'll known to the
British authorities.
The problem of what disposition it shall make
of the Appam is puzzng the Washing
ton administration, and there appears to be rare
conflict of conventions and treaties, the decision
rendered will be important principally establish
ing precedent. 1t goes without saying that the
movements of the Appam's noncombatant crew
and passengers will not be restricted by this gov
ernment and their welfare is the most important
consideration in connection with this individual
case. The Washington authorities may decide it
in accordance with its own view of its merits and
add it to the long list of international contro-
versies to be adjusted, and if possible guarded
against by international agreement, after the war
There is an important point connected with the
dispute of the begcrents over the status of the
Appam, however, that our State Department may
be expected to take cognizance of. Germany has
no claim to consideration, no standing in court,
and her attempts to influence our Interpretation
of conflicting laws conventions and treaties may
properly be ignored if not resented The German
navy is the mad dog of the high seas that claimed
our women and children of the Lusitania as vic
tins. Germany cannot comply with the old legal
maxim to the effect that he who comes to seek
justice must come with clean hands. Germany
has put its navy beyond the pale of international
law. She complain of decision make in
the Appsm case, because she has violated not only
international law, but the laws of civilization and
humanity and in doing has murdered cti-
zens She is outlaw on the On the other
side Of the Appam litigation is begerent nation
that has yet to shed drop of American blood or
to be proved guilty of the smallest nfracton of
the laws of the in
Apparently this government does not lack au-
thorty to decide the case in any way that appears
to it best to meet the ends of justice and fit the
circumstances and there is little cause for appre-
hension that new diplomatic clash with bellig
erent will result. Germany, the ocean outlaw, can
make no complaint worthy of consideration, and
Great Britain will ask nothing more than the
recognition of her rights. The adoption of a course
of procedure to govern similar in the future
may be left until later. On the whole, little
calm reflection on the Appam case, now that the
first excitement has subsidized, quite dissipatcs the
menace of further serious diplomatic complications
and robs the surprising sea of much of its
importance.
