DOWN GlASSESI

The London Spectator says: I'VE
must fight the Germans with both
hands and not with one hand grasp
ing a glass of beer or spirits" And
the New York Independent properly
asks: IF a man needs two hands to
fight with successfully, how can he get
along effectively with fewer to work
with? If a nation at war cannot spare
hand to hold the liquor glass, how
can a people at peace?' And then it
sensibly says: Someone should move
to amend the Down Glasses program
by striking out the word temporary"

twice as great, could have prevented the German battle cruisers taking the sea and interrupting the enemys con- merce, simply because Great Britain would have had no types and num- bers of vessels fast enough to over take them, and at the same time pow erful enough to destroy them.
 Similarly, also putting the extreme case, suppose that Great Britain had built all battle cruisers and no battle- ships. The result would have been that the relatively more powerful German battleships even though in ferior In numbers would have had control of the sea, at least insofar as concerned Germany's ability to send her battle fleet where she pleased and convoy the troops The British fleet, being composed of nothing more pow erful Gin offensive and defensive uualities) than battle cruisers could not successfully oppose her. On the other hand, Germany would not have the freedom of the seas for her com merce because she would have nothing fast enough to catch the British battle cruisers.
 Many Types of Vessels Needed.
 '"The above is only one illustration of the act that different types of yes sels are designed to accomplish diff ferent objects. The nation that has not the requisite types, in sufficient numbers, cannot expect to accomplish these objects. Similar illustrations could be given to show the necessity of certain other types of war craft such as scout cruisers, destroyers mine layers submarines sweepers, etc.
 "Surely the opinions of the class of men who would have to handle a na- tion's naval forces in battles should be conclusive as to the types and rel ative numbers of each that are nec- essary to maintain that nations pOli- cies against it's probable enemies.
 But I hope that never again will the committees of congress try to reach a decision upon such a very complicated technical question by call ing before it Individuality a large number of officers of different corps, specalties, ages, nautical experience and professional infOrmatiOn-but that instead they will cause to be con- vened a conference composed of ex- perienced men who adequately repre- sent each one of the specialties that must be given due weight in reaching a sound conclusion"

Henry Clews Weekly Letter

great many careful and eXperi-
 enced observers look for a period of
 excessive prostration among the bel
 ngerentS after the war. That there
 will be a period of severe economic
 exhaustion need not be questioned,
 but not a few of tho prophets of dis treSs have underostimated the recup-
 erative powers of the great nations.
 Great Britain, for instance, is undcr-
 going a terrific strain in financing
 but also the financial aid given Ter allies. England's resources are not confined to her own island, but must be measured also by the enormous re- sources of her colonies, her huge investments abroad, and the fact that her immense industries and Soa-bOrne commerce have continued with little interruption. A nation carrying near ly One-half the trade of the world and controlling such vast resources outside O1 herself is not likely to be seriously crippled by contest With powers of much inferior resources. Great Bri- tain will probably come out of the war in better condition than any of the belligerents. She will probably emerge an Empire solidif1ed awak- cned, strengthened and more power- ful than ever. Beyond question the war has welded the Empire into a unit as nothing else could. Upon Germany, however, the blow is likely rn fall with much greater severity. German financial resources do not compare with the British. Her for etgn commerce, which ranked second in the world, will be very seriously crippled. After the war grave fiscal problems will require the skill of her best financiers if she is to escape national troubles. Germany may also Ee threatened with mOmentOus social and political readjustm ents, and should the Allies impose heavy bur dens her recovery may be relatively slow. Yet it must be rem em bered the recuperative powers of Germany are great. Her people have a wonderful genius for organization, scientific thoroughness, hard work and econ omy, and may be depended upon to strain every nerve for the restoration cf national prestige. Her territory has not and may not be devastated by war. Her mills and her railroads are practically intact, and it is doubt full if the Allies, even if successful, will ever make any perceptible inroads uron German soil Germany's re- sourcefulness will be put to the greatest test ina ginable, all the more surely because of the awful waste of life and skilled labor, but there is not the slightest doubt that she will make marvellous efforts towards recupera- ton. France and Italy may also be expected to recover more rapidly than anticipated in the present state of public opinion. Only a mparativelY small strip of France has been de- stroyed; a valuable strip, it is true, but the injuries are of sort that can he quickly repaired, and twelve I'll onths of reconstruction in France will work mirac in the present re- generative temper of her people. The same will be true of Italy, provided the northern section of that country is preserved from invasion. Russia has r cen slightly hurt by tho war. She is tCO vast and has too large a pOpula- tiOn to feel the conflict very seriously

Especial to the Herald.)

New York, July 29.-Fundamental conditions are little changed, the war still overruling all other considerations
 That the striggle is drawing to it's close every one believes, but the date and the terms of peace are as much a matter of guesswork as ever. The war might end much earlier than an- ticipated, provided some great event occurred tending in that direction.
 It is to be hoped that prognostications that the end will come with the New
 Year will prove correct; but such an uclpatlOns are almost too good to be true, and the struggle is quite likely to
 te carried into the coming year, judg- Ing by present resisting power of the Germans. The latter will in some re- spects grow in strength as their forces contract and fall back upon unde- Eastated country supplied with good railroad service and nearer the source Of supplies. On the other hand, as the Allies press forward they leave be- bind them nothing but chaos their supplies become more and more dis tant, and traffic routes will be tenn Dorarily demOralzed. Hence should the Allies continue their present rate of success, real progress for them will become more and more difficult as the armies move forward. This week marks the second anniversary of the war. Conditions have vastly changed during theinterval. At the beginning the Germans were overwhelmingly on the aggressive. Now the Central Powers are on the defensive and driven back in every direction, while Allied preparedness is becoming equally overwhelming on every side. Thus far the cost of the war to all the helligerents has been over forty billion dollars, and about s1,3OO,OOO.- 900 of this amount was raised by loans in the United States. Should the struggle last another year, as expected by Kitchener, the outlay will run up to between sixty and seventy billions; a sum utterly beyond ordinary com prehension. Peace still seems a long way off, and when hostilities cease months must elapse before any treaty o1 peace will be actually signed.
 After the war what? This question is beginning to occupy public atten- IOn quite as much as the war itself No mind is far-sighted enough to pre- d1ct the outcome with any certainty, for in such stupendous upheavais 1t is the unexpected which usually happens, That great social and political changes are impending in Europe nobody doubts, probably in the direction of lessenlng class differences and placing the control of political power and wealth more and more in the hands of the great middle classes. The whole trend the world over is to place n1ore and more power over individuals and industries in hands of the Govern ment; at the same time putting con- trol of the Government still more in the hands of the people and less in control of the aristocracy. In brief. democracy will receive a tremendous impetus from war: and, while the change, whether it comes rapidly or slowly, will be disturbing still to those who have real faith in the ultimate progress of civilization the outcome will be welcome, in the firm hope of a new era of peace and social ad- NanCement.

addition of battle cruisers to the United States navy in it's present con- ditions. That the battleships must constitute the main strength of a nav al force admits of no doubt; but, as attempted to show by my testim Ony, an adequate force of battle cruisers is necessary in order that tho Eattleships may be used against an enemy with their maximum power. This is par ticularly true of the situation that would confront US in case of the nec- ecsitv of repelling the attack of au enemy fleet against our coast.
 'WILLTAHI s. SIMS"
 Explains Britain's Mastery of Sea.
 In a supplementary letter written to Congressman Oliver dated July 12 Captain Sims further discusses the Jutland battle and it's lessons He says:
 "You will see that I agree with you of battleships and against battle cruisers that have arisen since the North Sea fight are not justified. Tn my letter to the secretary of the navy I might have invited attention to the peculiar quality of battle cruisers to which I referred in my hearing, name ly, their ability in chasing commerce from the seas wherever they are more powerful in the aggregate than the enemys vessels of a similar type.
 This may be made clear by the fol- lowing illustrations: Great Brittains control of the sea is due to the pos session of certain types (and num- bers) of vessels which enable her to accomplish two functions which are wholly essential to her success in this war. There are:
 "1. Prevention of invasion by means of a battleship force so superior to that of the battleship force of her enemy that the latter cannot attempt to convoy an army of invasion with any reasonable chance of success.
 "2 Protection of commerce by means of a battle cruiser force so su- perior to that of the battle cruiser force of her enemy that the latter cannot take the sea for the de- struction of British commerce with any reasonable chance of escaping destruction by the superior British force Of course they could do con- siderable damage before they were caught but they would soon be de- stroyed.
 '"The point is that her superior force of battleships prevents invasion and her superior force of battle cruis- CTS prevents the destruction of heT commerce-the cutting off of heI cs- sential supplies. It follows, as a natural consequence, that the posses sion of fleet of this character enables Great Britain to deprive her enemy of the use of the sea to blockade her coasts, to transport great armies to distant points, etc.
 ITO put the extreme case, suppose Great Britain had built no battle cruisers but had spent their cost i'll extra battleships Neither this great force nor force of DattleSh1pS

TITANIC VICTIMS
 RECEIVE $665,OO(
Original Claims Against White
 Star Line Were S18,OOO,OOO

New York, July 29.-Judge MayerH sitting in the admiralty branch of thd federal district court, signed a fina decree yesterday disposing of all th9 suits brought against the Oceanff Steam Navigation company, Ltd. which operates the White Star Line growing out of the loss of the Titanicl The decree was issued on a petitionz asking that the liability of the com pany be limited under the Americar1 statute, to the amount of freight and passenger money collected for the i'll | fated voyage, and for the value of thdl lifeboats' salvage.
 The money value of this liability was estimated by the company td amount to $117,101.35, and this sunni which had been deposited subject i'd the order of the court, was turned td the company. Suits were begun bI hundreds of claimants, but pending the action of the court on the petition the complaints and answers werd withdrawn and the suits were adjusted out of court. By the terms of thd settlement the company agreed to paI about $665,000 in full for all cIaimsI and this amount, it was understood was to be distributed pro rata among the claimants.
 Original Claims SIS, 100000.
 The original actions represented claims amounting to more than SIS, -I 100000. These were afterward rel duced by agreement between the1 counsel for the claimants and thef company to about $3,0OO,000. Then s665, ,OO0 paid by the company was deposited in the New York Trust com- pnny and yielded about 21 per cent of the total amount of the adjusted6 claims.
 The Titanic was lost on April Is, 1912. Shortly afterward suits began to be instituted and on October 4, 1912. the company filed it's petition for a limitation of liability. Many of theN complaints charged that the TitanioE was lost through the negligence ofH her navigators with the privity and knowledge of her owners. Trial of the limitations proceeding ran from June p to July 8, 1915, the evidence clearly indicating that the loss of the Titanic was due to an accident.
 Judge Mayors decree held the com rany guiltless of any privity or know ledge such as were charged In the and held that the pe- tftioner is not liable to any extent for any loss, damage, injuries, destruc- t!ons, and fatalities, or for any claim whatevar in any way resulting or aris- ng from or growing out of said 
 The first list of claims filed amounted to $5,9OO,Q00, and this mount was rapidly added to. In one # the preliminary arguments in the uits it was contended that the com any had no right to the protection f the American law which would re- uce it's liability to about $97, ,000 It las argued that the claims must bs k ricd in accordance with the British lw which would provide between 2 100000 and $3,OO0,0OO as the basis ' f a settlement.

Hart, Western Character Actor in "The Primal Lure" and Chaplin in The Pawn Shop at the Orpheun Today.

Can a woman find she still lSves a man who has wrongly accused and publicly humiliated her, when she dis covers that the man really believed her guilty? This is the problem that gives g new and tense turn to the love interest" in "The Primal Lure," new Triangle play starring ". s. Hart
 With Charles Chaplin in his latest comedy release, The Pawn Shop, to- days program at the Orpheum pro mises to be one of the best ever staged at that playhouse. Chaplin is usually good but advance notices on his latest offering claim that this is his greatest effort before the screen.
 Any woman who has endured the lash of a cruel and false accusation will sympathize with Louis Le Moyne, in The Primal Lure," the youthful heroine of this play of the far North west. Seeking to leave a little gift, the work of her own hands, in the desk of the man whom she shyly an0 secretly loves, she is seized by that man as thief, dragged through the settlement, and thrust into prison be fore the eyes of everyone she knows
 Her revenge comes. Tn man who has misjudged her is in his turn pub licly humiliated and bears a bitter burden. But despite his mistake, he is made of the stuff of which heroes are modelled. and in time of desperate peril he offers his life for the girl Then-does she still care for him?
 At first she thinks she does not, but when he tells her that she has come to occupy his heart and mind. to the exclusion of all other women-shf finds that she must gorgive him, and go to him, or else deprive herself oi her greatest happiness in life
