DARK VIEWS OF A NOVELIST.
(From the New York Sum-

lFrom the New 1ork sum-
Sir Rider Haggard is always inter-
esting even when he is alarming. He
was speaking in Winnipeg:
do not think this war will
be the end of wars. 1t is the
beginning Of war. Do you think
Germany will take defeat with
contritc spirit?"
The suggestion will be welcome
only to those who feed on gloom and
who look forward. almost with long
ing, to the end Of all mundane life.
Others Of us will be inclined to re-
fleet that, once war is over, the pock-
cts as well as the souls OF mankind
will cry for peace. Other wars may
come, but 1t is not likely that Eng
land and Germany will settle down
to devote themselves to an alternat-
ing series OF war and preparation for
war. The present conflict has been
more costly. in life and gold, than
any man two years ago would have
dared predict. If this were but the
beginning of war, then the nations
involved could look forward to their
economic destruction, an event which
gives pause to even the most patriot
ic peoples.
Sir Rider has taken on the lingo
of the recruiting sergeant. He may
drop 1t the morning after he reads
the terms of peace.

MIR. HAYS PROMOTION.
(From the New York World.

On his promotion to the Court of
Claims, Representative Hay Of vir-
ginia will vacate the Craftsmanship OF
the House Committee on Military AZ
fairs. He views the change with re-
lief. With not less satisfaction the
public will accept his retirement from
the post in which he has figured so
prominently.
Toward the reorganization Of the
army Mr.. Hay has maintained virtu-
ally the attitude OF an obstructionist
during the present session. He prov
ed himself unresponsive to the Just
demands Of the country for real pre-
paredness and threw his influence as
Chairman Of the House Committee
on Military Affairs against plans and
measures urged by the highest au-
thorities and supported by public
opinion.
II in the next few years 1t should
turn out that the Army Reorganiza-
ton Bill does not work we'll, the fail
ure Of the measure will be due chiefly
to Mr.. Hays efforts to prevent the
establishment Of an adequate mill
tary system. The choice was offered
him Of advocating a carefully studied
plan, and he rejected 1t for one that
he had improvised according to his
own narrow prejudlces. To him be-
longs the responsibility Of wrecking
the Federal volunteer army plan,
which. against his opposition, the
Senate sought to preserve.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR

FAIRMONT, W. Va, July 1S.-tEdt.
tor West Virginian1.-It has been not
ed with a heavy heart and more or
less pain, by those who have borne
the burden Of keeping up the military
organizations OF the state for the past
twenty years, that number OF the
young men Of the different sections,
who went into the mobilization camp
at Kanawha City few days ago, and
there took what is termed the Fed
eral OATH" to support the Constitu'
ton of the United States and the State
OF West Virginia, have returned to
their respective communities, to hnd
that some young fellow who did not
have but the minimum degree OF pa
triotism and the maximum amount
Of yellow blood, filing his place. II
Is also cause for open.eyed wonder
and chagrin to the body of officers
who led these young men away from
their homes-presumably on their way
TO the front-and In good faith so, for
aught they knew, that the same gen
erous, enthusiastic, patriotic public
that turned out In such large num-
bers to bid the boys God speed and
farewell, can now with somber In
difference and utter cold.bloodedness
receive these same boys back home
and turn them out in the cold, fgura'
lively speaking, without place to lay
their head. Is this true patriotism!
Is this proper exhibition Of our love
or home and country? Is this that
community spirit which makes for
thriving city and big country?
The writer Of this article has been
morally forced to bring this matter
before the public on account OF the
numerous appeals that have been
made to him for help since the boys
have returned home. Not begging
our boys are not beggers-but for hon.
est employment way to earn an
honest dollar by the sweat OF the
brow. These same officers, who led
these boys away from thier Jobs and
from their loved ones-taking a
chance OF leaving them somewhere
on q Southern dusty plain or in a
southland graveyard, watched many
Of these same boys with blanched
faces sign that Federal oath" which
now makes them the subjects and the
soldiers Of the United States. as well
as the State Of West Virginia-pale,
not because they were afraid to do
their duty and serve their country,
but because they halted between two
great duties-obligations to hoIo and
loved ones. one the one hand-love OF
country and loyalty to the flag that
floats over us. on the other. At least
one OF these young men, which came
particularly under the notice OF the
writer, returned to his home. to find
that his furniture had all been TAX
en-, yes, even the clothes Of his fam
fly, so that he did not even have a suit
Of citizens clothes to don and return
to civil life. And this young mans
employer stated yesterday, that he
was a splendid worker.
Is this the GLAD HAND Of the City
OF Fairmont and other communities
to the returning boys? Is this the
potion OF a grateful and patriotic pub
lie? Is this the measure Of your love
to home and country, and the way Ia
which you desire to express 1t, and to
have It expressed.

itself Of doing big things-and by

AMERICA FIRST
OUR REAL NAVAL PROBLEM

a~sEAR Admiral knight, who at the request OF the
IL secretary of the navy furnished opinion based
ON the outcome OF the Jutland battle, regarding
the naval policy which this nation should follow cannot
be said to have done much to clear up the haze in
the popular mind regarding building program. He
admits that he continues in the belief that the battleship
g the backbone Of any fighting oet but is inclined
tothnk that battle cruisers have also proved that they
are necessary Therefore, he recommends that IL Con-
ress decides add only four capital ships in tho build
ing program now under consideration all should be bat
tiescruisers.
But Il we build nothing but battle cruisers which must
either away be sunk when they confronted by
battIeships and that be the big lesson OF
the the German and the British ships,
what is to become Of naval bulwark IL the enemy
rends nothing but battleshps to shores? 1t be
argued that rich nation like the United States should
have all each type OF vessel that 1t possibly could
ever need. Such policy would be in accordance with
the American habit Of looking international
problem squarey in the face But the burden would be
trely too great for the opulent United States.
Obviously the only way in which ever come
10 satisfactory and safe solution of the naval problem
Is to decide for all the purely political phase We
must, make up minds whether want navy for
defense otfense and IL It is be defense then we
must frankly determine which nation nations the
most likely to attack us and build with that end in
view all the time. It by such policy that Great
Britain became mistress OF the high seas.
