 Sanctions Preparedness.
 We have repeatedly stated editori- ally, in both the Aemrican and German languages, tbat we are for prepared ness and we explain what sort of pre- paredness we favor. If the colonel sees move to keep our country inpotent against defense in every form of pre- paredness except the Roosevelt brand, then we beg to express our satisfaction at being with some of his opponents ra'eler than with him. We favor the Swiss and Australian system of mili- tary service. We favor preparedness in the public schools by means of text books written exclusively by American born citizens upon history and geogTa- phy, by teaching more of European history and less of English history, by preparing the bodies of our young people through exercises in turning and swimming; by compelling every public school student to learn one Eu- ropean language in addition to the American; by developing an American encyclopedia as our reference work in place of the Encyclopedia Brittanica, l which hardly mentions our Declaration l of Independence:' by nationalizing the manufacture of arms and ammunition 1 for use of our government: by incul- I eating stronger love for our govern 1 ment by means of laws that would l benefit the poorer rather than the l richer classes, So-called specializing 1 laws; by compulsory military service | for each physically fit male and com l pulsory hospital training for each plg 1 sfcally fit woman, each for a short pe- l riod during high school and prepara = l tory school courses; by government | subsidy given to universities and col l ieges that will graduate officers for our army and for our navy under Unite1 States regulations and control

 Chicago, May 47.-The Illinois Staats zeitung publishes the following in re- ply to the reference to that paper made by Theodore Roosevelt in his speech at Detroit on May 1s:
 sThe Iliinois staas Zeitung was at tackled by Theodore Roosevelt in his speech on May 19, 1916, in Detroit, Mich, as printed in several New York city, newspapers, in the following words: One of the great German news papersI cannot call 1t a German American newspaper - the Illinois Sfaats Zeitung, has been engaged in active propaganda on behalf of both German militarism and American pacif1sm. It applauds and advocates Germans enbarking upon a career of military strength unconditioned by any other consideration and at the same time backs the movement of the extreme pacifists to keep the United States impotent for self-defense.' Risl<s Being consIgned to Ananias Club That is false. Even at the risk of being condemned to membership in the Roosevelt Ananias club of 1911 we must contradict the honorable e1- president of tie United States.

 No Moral Treason.
 If there is any moral treason or any other kind of treason in these doctrines, then we are guilty, other wise not. Roosevelt breaches a kind of preparedness that requires an extraor- dinary propa uganda, to keep it from be- ing forgotten by our people, for they want naught of military oligarcly.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Bradstreet and Dun Report Slight Abatement in
Unprecedented Buying of Last Few Weeks:
Many Purchasers, Hoping Zenith in Prices
Has Been Reached, Awaiting Reductions.

New York, May 1s-Dun's Review OF
Trade for the week ending tomorrow
will say:
with sustained activity assured by
previous unprecedented buying, the re-
cent abatement of new business in
some lines is regarded with equanimity.
More definite signs appear of a slack
ening of orders in steel and iron. in
textiles, and in footwear and leather. but
the recession is comparatively slight and
there is prospect that renewed demand
may cause further expansion.
The lessening of the strain in the lead
ing industries comes at a time when pro-
duction. owing to strikes and the short
age of labor and materials. is being
with difficulty, and. as out
puts fall short of requirements, the
change is not unwelcome. .
For months past mills shops and fac
tories have been crowded beyond capac-
ity, but with the opportunity to reduce
accumulated contracts on their books
manufacturers will later be in position to
accept business that has Of necessity
been turned away
The question of deliveries continues
perpleXing to producers and consumers
alike, though the worst Of the traffic
congestion apparently is over and mer-
chandise moves to its destination more
promptly. Where needs are especially
urgent the matter OF price remains of
secondary consideration and premiums
are still offered for rush shipments.

Naval Supplies Accumulated.
A new policy has been adopted. 50 far
as may be, by the Navy Department
looking TO the accumulation Of certain
supphes which are Of constant service
utility. The idea hitherto has been
against such practice on the theory
that II was not wise or prudent to tie
up vast sum Of money in material that
was Kept indefinitely in storage While
this Is sound business principle In a
commercial institution TO which money
mas value on account Of its interest
bearing characteristics, it does not. OF
course apply with anything like such
slgnihcance In the case Of the govern
meht. especially when the supplies con-
etltute military asset, and the absence
OF them in time Of emergency, coupled
with the difficulty of delay in acquiring
them' may produce a situation which is
not measured by monetary terms.
80 SStAA NAst " dT anu navy DGpHrt-
ments during the past few months the
purchasing officers have encountered
much trouble in getting supplies or even
IN obtaining satisfactory bids or bids
under any conditions upon which to
award contracts for supplies-a situation
due primarily to the influence of the
European war upon the raw materials
1t was considered, naturally. that the
war would not last so long as it has. else
there would have been advantage taken
of the market at the beginning of the
struggle.
The result has been that in some re-
spects II is impossible to get the neces-
sary material and the plan Of acquiring
reserve supplies along certain lines has
been. at least temporarily frustrated
This has led the naval committee TO the
conclusion that IL would be wiser and
cheaper in the end TO buy material in
large quantities and keep it in stock at
various navy yards ready for issue and
so avoid the disaster Of being caught
WITHOUT supplies that are indispensable
and that are OF the class not easily OBJ
tainable in this country in the every
day market To that end the Navy De-
partment has prepared cargo lists OF GER
tain articles for the various types of
ships and will endeavor TO maintain a
stock upon which there may be drafts
as required for ships in commission. to
gether with those held an reserve and in
anticipation OF any increase in personnel
or acquisitions in the way of aUXillaries.
