A Week of Preparedness.

War that is visible begins at Sheepshead
Bay to-day. and any one who wishes to
smell powder at close but safe range can
do so there with the likelihood of seeing a
far more interesting spectacle than most
correspondents seem to discover on the bat
tlefelds of Europe. Every implement of
modern warfare, from aeroplanes to Red
Cross dogs, will play a part. There Will
be border raids and surprise attacks, by
day and night; aeroplane races will end at
the grounds; and before the week Is out
the naval militia will attempt a landing
which the land forces will resist.
From military point of view the gath
ering will be specially interesting from the
fact that the entire national guard of the
city will be assembled. The various regl-
ments are to sleep in their armories to-
night and will march to the speedway Sun
day. Altogether, the tournament promises
to be quite as instructive to the men TAX
ing part, as it will be picturesque and
interesting to the spectator.

Sing Sings End in Sight.

Advocates Of real prison reform VIII be
genuinely glad that Governor Whitman
vetoed the Towner bill and approved the
Sage bill for a new Sing Sing. Purport-
ing to accomplish the same purpose, the
two bills differed radically. The Towner
bill would have committed the state to use
the plans for Sing Sings substitute pre-
pared several years ago. which would pro
duce "bastile" little superior to the exist
ing prison. Senator Sage's bill, on the
other hand, grants the commission to be
appointed under il liberty Of choice both
as to the site for the new prison and the
style of construction.
For several years the state marked time
in this matter. Improvements have been
made in the manner of handling prisoners
at Sing Sing and some improvements in
their surroundings But the cell block is so
DID, so unsantary, so wholly inadequate,
that the general situation was hopeless As
long that it was retained. The plan behind
the Sage bill is for farm and industrial
prison to take the place of the present
Sing Sing. A short-term prison-that is,
a reception and distribution station-will
be built at Sing Sing on better location
than the site of the present cell block, and
that den of horrors will either be torn
down, to give place to an industrial plant,
or remodeled into workshops, of which
there are too few.
The signing of the Sage bill marks
long step forward in prison affairs, in that
it spells the end of the building whose cells
spread disease and death among the I'M
fortunates whom the great State of New
York condemned to dwell there.

On the Weehawken Ferry at Midnight.

The Tower stands out tall and dim
Above Manhattan's blazing rim;
The river moves at flood, and we,
With stars and sea for company,
Fall swiftly silent; and the cold
Comes closer; and how wise and old
Looms the great law that moves the star
And lifts the food across the bar.
Black, huking things go hooting by
Tall monsters with single eye
And squat, incongruous shapes that cry
Their dire. sharp needs to sea and sky!
The river mirrors green and gold
New flames Of man and planets old.
To the far south a lighted crown
Hangs low above the restless town.
The moon rides high; the air is bright.
(No drumming guns disturb our night.)
Yet-what a thought! perhaps | dreamed
That for a heartbeat so it seemed,
Clear from the air, thin. separate, high,
There came a voice,-a human cry,
A hail. and then the faroff drone
Of engines. and sound sea-blown,
A clank of metal and fire
That moved from dark to dark and higher
only dreamed, and yet-ah, WE'LL
wonder if when Carthage fell
Before the Roman legions came;
Before her temples were afame-
wonder if nc foated there
And watched that Towers imperial flare,
Where Bel was worshipped with strange
rite,
While down below the festive night
Was filled with sweet. unthinking song,
And none cared that Rome's arm was
But now we glide into the slip;
On watery lanes strong colors drip.
How bright and warm the ferry CLEANS!
How far away our star-sown dreams!

Preparedness Day.
or Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In view cf the large sentiment eJ-
pressed in favor OF preparedness, as brilliant
~ demonstrated b. the enthusiastic spirit
OF the many marchers in the parade OF Sat
urday last, the idea has come TO me that
enthusiasm and great interest should not be
only confined to this day, just this one year
and to only this city.
What great unity. what formidable
strength and beautiful brotherhood would be
expressed in the setting aside of this day
each year as a national holiday.
1t is not my idea that this day should be
so observed for the purpose of agitatng the
cry for war, and Of our being embroiled i.
bitter strife with the now other friendly ma
tions of the world. not my faintest intention
that 1t should be the cause Of keeping for
ever alive the issue Of strife.
But | feel that it would bring together, in
closer association. the manhood of young
America, and indeibly impress on them, as
no other way is possible, the seriousness Of
invasion by hostile forces and our utter in
ability 10 defend our name and rights: grad
ually helping TO fill the ranks Of the national
guard, and strengthen our coast defence.
to any nation that desires TO be our enemy;
not that We wish TO engage IN deadly com
bat, but that should such misfortune befall
We stand together as one man ready to de
fcnd the lives of our dear ones and the honor
Of our country. MAURICE CHERNEY.

Naval efficiency can never be anything

out of office. II is the great merit of the
action taken by the House Naval Affairs
Committee that it focuses national atten-

ever the question "How much longer must
