DEMOCRATS AND THE NAVY.

Al BOUT the middle of the month Hon. William Eliza
"A Williams, a Democrat who Represents one of The
Illinois districts in the House of Representatives
wrote to Secretary of the Navy Daniels a letter Of inquiry
pni The state Of the naval forces of the United States, which
enableds the Hon. Josephus to write a long dissertation
about the floating forces for campaign purposes.
Quite naturally this document makes out a strong case
Tor the outgoing administration, but no writer, no matter
how gifted, can perform a similar service for the Demo.
cratic party with regard to naval affairs.
Ihs American people are glad to know that the navy
; now on q fair way to become commensurate with the
ne and wealth of this country. But for this they have
q thank the politician in the mental make up Of Woodrow
Wilson. When the war in Europe broke out and the
American people began to take a genuine interest in the
condition Of their own defenses President Wilson did his
best g discourage any action looking to increased expendi-
lures tor army and navy. Later when the public demand
tor an adequate military preparation became insistent,
Wilson. who began to fear that his chances for reelection
were endangered. changed his mind.
Having changed his own mind, he determined that the
Democratic majority in Congress should change, too. That
majority long since learned to be subservient to the Presi.
denfs will. but it is a significant fact that in none Of his
struggles to force a policy upon Congress did the President
experience more trouble than in this preparedness matter.
Ltie navy and army men fought him at every tum. and
The most persistent Of his foes was the ring Of southern
Democrats of which the Secretary Of the Navy, who now
hoasts about the naval record of the administration, is one
Of he most powerful.
But as usual the President won. He won, however,
without converting his party. There is no guarantee that
DE Democrats it they are permitted to retain control of the
government will continue to support the navy and the army.
Indeed there is every probability that they would not,
Even Woodrow Wilson in all likelihood would lose all

FOUR A OF WAR.

A MER1cA has developed at least one trustworthy
n commentator on the military situation in Europe in
Frank H. Simonds. Of the New York Tribune.
There may be others just as good, but it is a fact that
Simonds is the only writer on this side who is given serious
consideration in the b~clligerent countries. He earned that
mark of confidence by the accuracy of his judgments of
the course the conflict would take and the ~perspicuity of
his comment on the strategy Of the e%ontending generals.
We mention these facts concerning Simonds because
yesterday he printed a signed article in which he predicted
that the great conflict will continue into 1918 that it
will be a four year war, and that it will end inside the
German frontiers"
In reaching this conclusion MIR. Simonds seems to have
considered every factor except finances. Perhaps he does
not consider them worthy of a thought. Assuming that this
American military expert is as well informed as he was in
the past. it is a dismal prospect that c%onfronts Europe.
And for once, at least, national bankruptcy would seem
to promise national blessing, for in that alone is there pros
pect of an early end to the terrible blood letting.

Editorial Comment
on Current Subjects
souARELY UP TO THE
pRESinENr

The Railway Age Gazette said last
week that It was inconceivable that
the President Of the United States
could have proposed to the railways
that they should abandon their posi-.
ton in favor Of arbitration and grant
the demands Of the train employees
for q so-called "eight-hour day" 1t
seemed Uncomfortable that the Presi.
dent should do this but It Is now only
too we'll known that this Is what he
actually did.
The nation regarded first with sur.
prise, then with establishment and fin
ally with absolute amazement the
course taken by the President. II he
thought 1t to be generally popular he
has been rudely d~isillusioned. The
business interests have risen to the
situation and are backing the railways
in their insistence on arbitration with
an outspokenness, an energy and a un.
animity which has been surprising ey.
en- to railway nen. Only a small part
Of the press has endorsed the Presi.
dents course, and In 0 lukewarm man.
ner, On the other hand, q very large
part Of the press Is sayagely denounc-
ing Mr., Wilson, and declaring that by
his abandonment of the principle OF
arbitration he has dealt a heavy blow
to the cause Of Industrial peace, which
will tend to cause strikes, lockouts
and anarchy IN every branch Of bust
ness.
The President denies that he has
thrown over the principle of arbitra.
ton. But actions speak louder than
professions. The railways repeatedly
offered arbitration, and the President
made absolutely no real effort TO get
the men to accept It. The President
adds that the %eight.hour day is sane.
TONED by social progress and Justice
and Is not an arbitrable question. This

It would have no application to the
present controversy. To say that the
question of an eight.hour day is not
arbitrahle when o day of that length
has been established In only o very
small part OF the commercial and in.
dustrial concerns OF the country Is
absurd on its face. Furthermore, what
is more important in this connection,
the train employees have not asked
for q real eight;horr day, and the &C.
ceptance OF the plan which the Presi.
dent has endorsed would not estab.
lish an eight.hour day. The plan Of

has endorsed does not provide that

every woman. m a republic should be trained lobe Of SER
vice TO the nation IN time Of national perl. This was taken
as q matter Of course during the early days Of ths country.
But things were much different then. ANY one who owned
a towing piece could be. and was. a Minute man. The
only way m which to induce the public to take an interest
IN a return to such conditions is to present a complete and
workable program for consideration. But instead Of
spending their funds to make a scientific investigation of
the problem in all its features, one, at least, Of the societies
pays TOR the distribution Of literature Of which the follow
ing i.a sample paragraph:
What would have a more democratic infu-
ence upon the young men OF the country than
to have them training shoulder to shoulder
under proper military discipline? Under our
present system. the gulf between the rich and
the poor is growing wider and. despite all our
pretensions Of equality. class distinctions are
rapidly forming-the elbow-touch has been
lost. There is no melting pot in this country
In which a national spirit is being fused and
ism."
To begin with the idea which that aims to convey is
stolen. 1t was Theodore Roosevelt who first said that an
army is as good a place as the public school for instruction
in the duties of citizenship. But as for leyeling influence
well. that depends upon what kind Of an army you are
maintaining. At the beginning of the war in Europe the
worst example of a caste ridden army in the world was
the volunteer army Of England, which is sometimes said
to have a more democratic government than the United
States. And next to that came the army of Germany,
which in addition to the great gulf which separated the
Officers from the men in the ranks was rapidly accepting
the theory that it was a thing apart in the state and super.
Tor to the civil population. The most democratic great
army was that of France.
What the war has been doing in the Central powers to
the spirit that led up to the Zabem incident it is impossible
to say on this side of the famous iron ring. The Terrific
rails, as they were known during the Boer war, the troops
from Canada, Australia and New Zealand, seem to have
knocked the class insolence clear out of the British armies,
and the French army is, if possible, more democratic than
ever. But this is the result of rather gruelling experience.
The only way this country can guard against the British
and German mistake is to start right on any universal mill
tary program that may be adopted.
