A NAVY AS BIG AS ENeLAND's

Admiral Winslow told congressional committee the other day radical changes made in the system of our navy would take fifty years to develop
 sea force comparable in fighting ability the present British navy
 That is interesting thing to know but it's hard to see what useful bearing it has present naval problems Beyond the ntimation it conveys that our system government operation is inefficient already accepted by ctizensthere is the implied assumption that we ought to navy equal super Britan's. And any such doctrine that must be down as mischievous and perilous.
 natural enough any specialist trained for fighting a naval strong enough to Tick the world" professional fighters do consider money diplomatic needs of established national policies. The nation itself has consider all these things.
 .,Whie it seems desirable to have the second largest navy in world is ridiculous go far aim the largest policy contemplating bigger navy than Engands would belle pacific professions and make the whole world suspect and fear It would drive all the to and crushing expenditures would frenzed building competition between the United States Great Britain that would probably end either in mutual bankruptcy when the strain became intolerabie
 The absurdity of such competition consists in the fact that despite prejudces against England she is in reality best and useful friend among the big powers It is unthnkable that any differences with her will arise which be settled peacefully And the realization of highest ideals plainly call for the cu tvation of Engands friendship rather her enmity
 We like think that the future of civilization is in the of the great AngeSaxon powers that they able to be the leaders and carry the torch It is probably that visions world peace depend fulfllment cooperation with Britain with other factor If the Allies successful in the is inconceivabe that Great Britain and the United States by pooling their influence and agree ing their in the interest peace and order might swing the other powers into line and in augurate the long desired federation of nations The moderate plans already proposed would such a purpose But to plunge into frenzied scheme out the world would be to foil the worlds best hopes

The country is indebted Stone for being

Nobody had look in a dictionary what he The shocked purists who did resort dictionaries found that of them the Century for example, define "ball up" slang meaning ito fail miscarry" which is about right lexicon may be expected to when tackles living speech But the Cenurys explanation of the origin of the phrase is far from satisfactory. There is such term "ba up used by puddlers for shaping the hafmoen metal into a ball for rolling; but that isn't the idea.
 ton that really explains Balled up the help ess noundering condition of horse whose feet have picked up accumulation snow, competed into ice and impossible to shake off
 It's odd how slang without recognizing the pie uresque fact that usually lies back of it. And mat of fact when we're conscious of the literal meaning of phrase what right has anybody call it slang? Are the poets to have monopoly of metaphor? If you think of the laundering horse when you speaking of ball ing up" diplomacy anything else aren't you using legitimate figure of speech?

U BOAT FACT AND FICTION.

The reply Of the Austro Hungarian government to the American protesting against the submarine attack the American Petrole shows of the 5alng things United States has to contend U-boat controversies.
 The Petroe is a Standard Oil tank ship. She fired in the Mediterranean while plainly displaying her and colors The smelling continued she had swung broadsde and stopped Then the sub marine commander demanded that the ship sell him pro vsons-a thing contrary international law-and for ciby took what he wanted when it refused holding man seriously wounded
 Now Austria calmly informs that the submarine commander fired the Petrolite thought she was "an enemy ship" and fyling the American flag "as a trick" and intended attacking the submarine
 As the merest landlubber knows, a tank oilshp is like other craft in the world She looks as much like cruiser, or ordinary merchantmen, q locomotive like thrashing machine Her charac couldn't possibly be misunderstood nor her nation ay either, for that matter The further states, for the sake of artistic completeness that the commander of the Perote furnished the provisions vol untarily"

THERE'S A REASON.

The Adjutant General of Arizona complains because he people of this fail to show proper degree patriotism, he backs his assertion by the failure of the eligible candidates block the ways leading 70 the enlistment stations of the National Guard
 As matter of fact the citizens of Arizona just patriotic ystate in the union produce. Our population is made up of the stock from which heroes come They are the cream the country they spring from pioneer roots sturdy and courageous, and their reverence for the starry flgais supreme.
 Has it occurred to the Adjutant General that there may be another for the lack Of support of which he complains? Has it occurred him that full blood ed, patriotic youth, willing and anxious to his country finds little incentive in being bundled off to mining camp to further the ends of law defying strik ers and the aspirations a governor whose future political life is bounded by the aid and comfort he is able to supply to those who oppose the inaenable right of every American to the conduct of his own business
 Has it occurred Gen Harris that there is not very guard duty with indifferent pay hard collect and be for weeks at the beck and call of who playing with the patience of long suffering public.
 Let the National Guard of Arizona be disassociated from the influences which surround it. Let il be under tood tthat service herein is service for the sovereign and for the Federal government in the uphoding If the peace honor and dignity of the commonwealth pawns in game; let bugler sound Fall In' for just cause and the Arizona National Guard will be the first reach the firing line.Arizona Gazette.
