He win probably repeat the performance in Mexico It was this Agulnaldo escapade that gave Funston his place In the army and while the fame that came to him then was probably out of all proportion to the task accomplished. he has, by able services as general officer of the United States army amply earned the reward that was bestowed upon him.
 The is that Gen. Funston was admittedly over paid for his work in the Philippines and he frankly confessed knowledge Of t after he had been in the army for time President Mckinley hesitated about making him brigadier general at the time the army was reorganzed and he said that he would not have made the appointment had It not been that civilians could only be appointed the ranks Of secondeuen- mt and brgadiergeneral and the Kansas Colonel had earned more than the former. However. Gen. Funs- toms career has proved the wisdom of the appoint. ment The sense of security that the American people feel that their Mexican operations are in safe hands due to consistent record of achievement that has e

THE ARMED MERcHANTMEN

The armlng Of merchant ships for the purpose oi defense was matter which had very little importance for many years because of the possbnity of making any ship designed for commercial capable Of self defense against any warshlp In the days Of wooden ships and smoothbore guns however the matter was diff fcreut merchant ship might put up very good fight asainst privateer hundred years or 30 ago. and as
 matter of fact they did 80 sometimes and were am- ply Justified.
 In this matter the experience of the United States n he period before tho war of 1872 is striking Under the pre,ense that they were enforcing bloclades both French and British ships commanded by men whose conscences were not much above the level of pirates were sezing American merchantmen and confiscating their cargoes When they through the motions of legal procedure the courts were corrupt and n some cases tho Judges were corrupt and were known to have had an interest In the profits which would follow demnation In that situation the merchant had fight or be robbed and the records or Of the battles fought by American merchantmen are far from being he least glorious in the annals Of this country's iarng men.
 Later the laws Of the sea became better settled and the merchantmen that kept within the law needed no suns. It was the coming Of the submarine with It's powerful offensive and helpessness in defense, which made the armed merchantman thing to be reckoned
 with and brought to life the law on that subject Already the United States has made marked progress dealing with these new questions. Aside from the outbreak in the Mediterranean there has been no recent cause for complaint against the conduct of submarine com in their dealing with merchant ships and since for hundred years before the appearance of the dersea boats the law alone sufced for the protection of commerce sea- there reason to believe that the problems will be settled and that the guns will be taken of the merchant ships with the ending of the present war if not before.

 The turning point has been passed and ghere Is no reason for delay either in private governmental work.
 All plans for immediate work on the government railroad have been ready for weeks and action be expected the Matanuska branch line along Turnagan Arm and out or Seward.
 Several buildings have been contemplated for Sew ard and work will probably be started Of them within 90 to 50 days depending upon weather condi- tons.
 The long delay in securing emergency funds to- geher with the break in the cable which cut Seward off from the outside world sort of dampened the ardor of many but the change In attitude today marked. The cable ship should get in handy llcks before the end of the week and that will complete the res toration of good feeling.
