Some New York statistical students bav.
reached the conclusion that the city's criminal
class is growing poorer. They have discovered that
in the last ten years there has been an increase
Of 27 per cent in the number of persons accused
of crime who have asked the courts to ASSIGN
lawyers to defend them free of cost. The s;tr-
ation it is claimed, is also resulting in hardship
to the criminal lawyers. 1t is possible, however
that there are other reasons than the one suv-
gested. The lawyers may already have got all the
money that once belonged to the criminal class
or the latter may have reached the coneIus;on
that the lawyers services are not worth paving
for anyway Also. the complaint may be due in
part to the fact that generous source of revenue
disappeared from the vicinity OF the New York
,ourts when Harry Thaw was set free.

Wrong Way to Run the Navy.

Admiral Fiske's letter to Secretary Daniels
protesting against the wine mess order in 1914
has been made public. and it bears out the ad-
mfrafs recent statement that the Secretary ex-
aggerated his reference to the danger from CO.
caine The letter is just what was expected OF
Admiral Fiske, a strong defense of the navy
against the attacks of those who have for sorle
time insisted that the navy should be treated
more like kindergarten or reformatory than as
an organization of fighting men for the defense
of the country. The admiral insists that our
naval officers are men of seif-control; just as
they should be. and that the order aboshing the
wine mess was reflection upon this qualification
Of the officers. misrepresenting them not only to
our own people but to the world at large.
The whole letter is an admirable presentation
of the navy's side of this question, for it is, in
fact. controversy between the navy and the
sentimental outsiders, who contend that no man
can be trusted to govern his own impulses and
appetite, but must be regulated by prohibitions
that may be necessary for certain classes OF
civilians, but ought not to apply to the men
who are fighting for their country. 1t appears
that Secretary Daniels. in issuing the wine mess
order, was guided solely by the Surgeon Gen
for discipline as well as command in the navy.
The Surgeon General and the surgeons in the
army and navy important adjuncts to those
arms of defense, but they only adjuncts, just
like the chaplains. Their places are in the rear
with the sick and wounded and not at the front
when there is battle on. 1t might be quite as
reasonable to place in command pacifst chap
lain who would insist upon service of prayer
in the face of the enemy as to give the command
to surgeon who might insist that there should
be no fighting before breakfast or after supper
for fear of indigestion.
The men in command of our warshps have
always been considered the best judges as to how
to conduct campaigns, both in war and in peace.
They are charged with the discipline of the
men we'll as with the care of their guns and
ships. and it will never make for efficiency, in
the navy to place either doctors or preachers in
command at any time Secretary Daniels made
a mistake in consulting the Surgeon General and
permitting that officer to dictate any order for
the control of battleship, just as Congress
made a mistake in allowing sentimentalists and
pacifsts to dictate legislation abolishng the army
canteen over the protest of the ablest army Off
GERS we had in the service If the army and
navy are to be regarded as ornamental organiza-
tions for paci6st demonstrations, the advice of
doctors, dancing masters, and society ladies is
all we'll enough, but if they are to be the arms
of national defense they must be conducted on
plans and policies made by men who are edu-
Gated for military duty. Let the men in front
take command, and let those in the rear thank
their stars that they have these defenses to pro-
tect them while engaged in peace propagandas.
Physic and sermons are all right, but modern
battles are not fought with either.

High Cost Of Cars Halls
Buying By The Railroads

From the Marhet-Prtces De-
elarsd Too High

NEW YORK. Nav 4-The more re-
cent contracts FOR rails placed by rail
roads In the Eastern territory include
an additional 25.O0e tons for the Erie.
5000 tons supplementary for the Phiia-
delphia a Kcading. and numerous small
orders aggregattng $1,000 tons. In the
south the Norfolk a Western has taken
$4,000 tons. The Tennessee Coal. Iron
a Railroad Company has taken addi-
tons. In the Central West the Besso-
mer A Lake Erie has ordered 10000
tons more and the Cincinnati. Hamilton
q Dayton 5000 tons. The bulk Of the
orders went TO the United States Steel
Corporation.
II Is difficult To determine the exact
tonnage taken by the rail mills tn the
last two months because Of Implications
Of number OF sales reported. A con-
SENTATIVE estimate ~ not far short OF
s.Oo0.UuV tons. Since January 1 the
bookings have not been much under
$500 600 tons. which is equivalent TO
about 40 per cent. OF the total capacity
OF the rail mills. a number OF contracts
placed last year viii also be rolled dur
ing 1915. Most OF the rail mills report
their capacity sold to July. 1917. which
would indicate sales of 100000 tons.
hut of course this must not be taken
literally. as there is not enough ingot
capacity To meet the requirements Of
all tho finishing mills. Probably about
45oN.noh tons of rails were sold last
year and this year FOR delivery during
1916 and the nrst half OF 1917.

manufacturers have caused several
