that the fleet was really going out to

that us the food embargo draws yet
closer and the condition OF the civil
population becomes desperate in the
extreme, the feet will have to make

Then will occur the greatest sea bat

between the ages of ~ and Is, the
older boys showing a greater measure
of self-control.
Some Of the reports frankly attrl-
butte the increase in crime directly
to the war. One writer, commenting
on the reports, points out that apart
from its direct influence in firing
the spirit of adventure in the half
grown, the war has an indirect IN
fluence on boys left without control
through the absence of their fathers
in the field and their mothers in the
workshops and also through the relax
ing in school discipline because OF
male teachers going to the war and
their places being taken by women.
The above brings to mind reminls-
cences of the war between the states
Shortly after the federal army took
possession of Alexandria the popula-
ton of the city doubled and with the
influx came the dregs of some of the
northern cities. Small-rry prize
fighters, pickpockets, army leeches,
Adventures, ETC., together with large
number of lewd women, made de-
scent upon the city. Stationary cir
cuses, concert halls, free and easies
and other forms of public amusement
were in different section of the city,.
ard the number of temptations to the
young were great. There was but
little attempt to enforce laws, espec-
tally those pertaining to morality,
and there were many apt scholars in
cur midst. The fathers of some were
in the Confederate army. and there
were few restraints. But, consider
ing the infection, but few of the
younger generation became lost in
the broad way to destruction.

Ipeople. But to an overwhelming ma
jority of them the creation Of ali en-
sssiye military establishment would
be far preferable to leaving the coun-
try in its present state of practical
helplessness against attack by any
irstclass power. If Mr. Bryan sue
ceeds in attracting to his banners a
sufficient following to, defeat the pro-
gram of the Administration, he will
have accomplished no more than TO
shift the issue and bring squarely
before the nation the question "Shall
we invite aggression or the humilia-
ton of tame submission to wrong by
refusing to provide means for success
full resistance And when the issue
shall be so presented, when the choice
shall be forced between militarism as
bulwark against insult and injury,
then there can be no rational doubt
what the verdict will be. The mode
rates will in that case be irresisti-
bly, driven into the camp of the eX-
tremists and the triumph achieved by
Mr.. Bryan will consist in having
transferred to Mr.. Roosevelt the pres
tige of leadership and of making GER
tain the expulsion Of the democratic
:arty from control of the government.
Whatever in the political future may
be matter for conjecture, one thing
is beyond peradventure sure: The
,eople of the United States are Meth
er going to renounce the dictates Of
manhood nor leave their birthrights
at the mercy of whomsoever has the
will to trespass on them merely to
satisfy the morbid individual con-
science Of Mr.. Bryan and his contin-
gent of Invertebrates.
