How Rochefort Hurled RidicuIe.

Henri Kochefort even more than
Hugo was the natural butt of those
caricaturists devoted to the destinies
OF Louis Napoleon. But none of the
cartoons directed against him could hit
deeper or leave more lasting sting
than his own sallies in the columns of
the Lanterne. His favOrite method of
attack was one which either made
prosecution impossible or else made the
prosecutor ridiculous. In the Lanterne
one found apparently innocent squibs
which ran something like this: 1.-THE

Hughes and Harmony.

In the "scrapping" now in progress
between the returned bull moosers and
the so-called old guard republicans
about prominence in campaign work,
Mr. Hughes is getting q foretaste Of
what may happen-what is very likely
to happen-in case he is elected. Then
will come controversy as to apportion-
ing credit for the result. How much
did the bull moosers, how much did the
old guard, contributed
1t is . good thing, therefore, that the
candidate is showing his quality at this
time-is speaking with hrmness about
harmony, and commanding It when nee
essary.
In the effort to defeat Mr.. Wilson
anything short Of harmony-harmony
wearing . capital H-will fail. The re-
turned bull moossrs and the old guard
must work togsther with might and
main. Never mind II the bull inoosers
eutaumbe1ed the old guard in 1912.
Hover nisd q sinee tAsa u every tsiai
Evening star., 1916-07-22

Of conclusions the old guard has out
numbered the bull moosers. Never mind
Il the bull moose national convention at
Chicago last month was but . side show
by comparison with the republican con
vention. Tho proposition now ID for
bull moosers and republicans 70 60 70
the polls together In November In num-
bers sufficient to secure control Of the
government
This union applies to the republican
policies as well as to the republican ma
tional ticket. The returned buH moosers
have accepted the republican platform
along with the ticket, and will expect
to have a voice in giving it legislative
expression. They regard it as forward
looking, as they regard Mr.. Hughes as
forward looking, and they will urge that
forward-lookin laws grow out Of It.
It will be no easy task for Mr.. Hughes
as President to handle the situation.
Indeed, it will tax him, with all his firm
ness. There will be q good deal Of
human nature as we'll as everyday poll
ties in it. Neither the bull moosers nor
the old guard will put a modest ap-
praisement on their services, or stand
each bowling the other forward. Mr..
Hughes will dispense the patronage, and
have to listen to, and umpire, many dis
putes as to both men and measures.
By speaking and advising on the sub.
ject now Mr.. Hughes serves sort Of
notice on both sides. Harmony now,
and harmony later. Both bull moosers
and old guard must sink minor matters
in the common good. In fact, if the
result of Mr.. Hughes success at the polls
should not be completely restored re-
publican party, with all hands working
in future as republicans, the triumph
may prove but a flash in the pan, as
Mr.. Cleveland's triumph of 1892 did.

The Prohibitionists.

The prohibitionists missed, or were
unable to improve, their only chance to
attract unusual attention to their cam
paign this year. Had they nominated
Henry Ford for President they would
have accomplished that. As their can
didate he would have drawn to their
cause an interest it cannot hope for now.
Prohibition and peace as a rallying cry
sounded by him would have appealed to
those who put sentiment high in the
scale of affairs. But he seems to have
taken no notice of the mention of his
name in connection with that party's
leadership, and it bestowed the honor
upon another.
The nominee is former republican,
and, what Mr.. Ford is not, politician. He
has served a term as Governor of In
diana. He is an effective stump speaker.
That he is a sincere believer in pro-
hibition is open to no question He has not
gone over to the prohibitionists simply to
get into the national limelisht But he
is not likely to add to their strength,
or make them factor in this years ma.
tional equation.
The platform adopted is too long
There is too much tail to the kite. Not
that it would have been advisable to
adopt one-piank platform. There are
other questions besides prohihifion
even for prohibitionists to con.
sider. But, somehow, the st. Paul de.
liverance makes It necessary to hunt
for the issue which gives the party its
name. II 10 almost lost in the shuhle

The Naval Bill.

The Senate yesterday passed the larg-
est naval appropriation bill in the his
tory Of the country, carrying $s15, 1926, ,s43.
To the House bill the Senate has added
s45,S57, ,5sS, increasing the authorize
tions of new constructions all along the
line of the naval classes. Notable chief
ly is the addition Of ten battleships to
the building program, four to be started
at once, the House having omitted bat
tleships from the program altogether.
The number of battle cruisers to be con-
structed under this program is increased
from five to six, scout cruisers from
four to ten, destroyers from ten to fifty,
coast submarines from fifty to fifty
eight, while ten other submarines arc
added, fuel ships from one to three, am
munition ships from one to two. In
the smaller classes other changes occur,
all tending to the increase of the navy
over even what the House allowed.
The natural expectation is that these
Senate increases will be compromised in
conference and the bill reshaped with a
modification of the program as now
stated. But every consideration of ade-
quate national defense urges the accept
ancc of the construction list as it stands.
Such navy as the Senate has provided
for is today needed by the United States.
Its interests are world wide and its re-
sponsibilities grow from year to year.
The present war puts a new necessity
upon this government to be prepared on
the sea. The completion of the Panama
canal adds to the burden of duty in the
shore waters.
The present inadequacy of the Ameri-
can navy is the result Of many years Of
conference compromising on differing
naval construction programs. Here at
last is big proposition, measuring up
to the necessities as they have recently
been so plainly demonstrated. 1t is ex-
pensive, of course. A navy is costly
investment, as regards mere outlay Of
funds. But it is an investment in Sc
curity. If this naval program entailed
an expenditure of q billion dollars it
would not be out Of proportion to the
values that navy of this size would
make safe from destruction by a posi-
BILE invader. Through our present naval
breastwork a first class power could to-
day break with ease, and within a few
hours take toll upon this country in q
sum many times the amount involved in
the Senate's program Of construction.
If the United States is to build a navy
at all it should build one commensurate
with its own size and its own exposure
to attack. With the longest coast line
Of any of the great powers it should
have navy in proportion, and the
House will do we'll to accept this SEN
ate bill as it stands, to make begin
ming upon a construction program that
will in few years give US the protec-
tion we need.

Belgium's Food Needs.

Food riots are reported from Belgium,
where the people, it is stated, have late
" been deprived of sufieiency Of sup
plies owing to shortage in the transport.
Thousands, it is reported, have been sent
out Of the cities where these disturb
ances occurred, into the country, where
they are subsisting as best they can
upon the bounty Of the farmers.
When Germany invaded Belgium, con-
trary to the rights Of that country as
a neutral, the Belgian government re-
sisted and threw its little army across
the path Of the Teutonic forces, delay
ing them seriously in their march toward
France, and undoubtedly saving the lat
ter country from a great disaster by
enabling it to marshal sufficient force
to stem the German tide eventually at
the Marne, with the assistance of Eng
land. This resistance angered Germany
and brought about a series of outrages
which have not been forgiven and will
never be forgotten. The sufferings of
the Belgian people at the hands of Ger
many elected the warm sympathy Of all
neutral peoples and relief measures were
Immediately started for their succor.
For nearly two years this country has
been pouring supplies into Belgium,
with the aid of England and France, to
make certain of the sustenance of the
stricken people. Now they are suffer
ing, because, it is explained, there are
not enough available ships to carry the
supplies, and Germany will not consent
to an arrangement recently proposed
whereby the German merchantmen in
termed here may be used under the
Dutch flag for the transport Of the nee
essary quantity Of foodstuffs. The re-
sponsibility for maintaining the trans
port, declares the German government,
rests upon the allies.
The world will never forgive the cruel
treatment of Belgium by Germany, and
the present situation is calculated to in
tensify the feeling Of resentment in all
neutral lands aroused by the harsh and
vindictive impositions laid upon an un-
offending people by an invader and con-
queror. In the immediate circumstances
it is worse than idle for Germany to
declare that the responsibility for the
succor Of the Belgians rests upon Eng
land and France, or upon the United
States, or anywhere save upon Germany
itself. Germany's own food situation,
however, is one of difficulty, and in view
Of the blockade which England is main
tanning as a war measure it is hardly
to be expected to look to the Berlin gov
ernment for the supplying of the Bel
rian needs. But no obstacle should be
placed in the way of the shipment Of
food into Belgium. If by the use of
the interned German vessels, otherwise
incapable of employment, the food short
age in the conquered and helpless coun-
try can be relieved they should be put
to work. This is not perhaps strictly
within the province of the United States,
but this government would be amply
justified in making the strongest rep
resentations to Berlin in behalf of the
adoption of a plan whereby the Bel
gian people may be assured of the ne
cessities of life, whatever may be the
needs Of others.

ing to the colers, he ponders long as to
his duty.
Thus far the only speculation about
the minor parties has been as,to whether
tho prohibitionists or tho socialists
would poll tho moro votes this year. The
socialists are making great claims; not
going as far as the presidency, which
they know is quite beyond their reach,
but expressing the opinion that the next
House will contain several men Of their
faith. The present House contains but
one.
What Mr.. Hanly's strength may prove
to be at homo is question. His for
mer strength there long since waned.
Indiana this year is going to be a very
exciting battle ground. Both Of the old
parties have their most influential lead
ers in the field as candidates. Both vice
presidential nominees are residents OF
indianapolis. Two United States sena-
tors are to be elected. A few bull
moosers are still holding the bull moose
fort. The socialists have an organiza-
ton in the state, representing the life
that Eugene Debs breathed into it years
ago. And now the prohibitionists will
bid for Indiana votes with a candidate
for President taken from the state, and
man whom the state at one time called
to its highest Office.

A presence strange it seemed to bring;

As terror overwhelmed the scene.

The shadow shook with fierce delight.

MEANT TO CONSERVE HEALTH
Laws Laid Down by Moses Acknowl-
edged to Be Excellent Sanitary
Regulations.

There has been gathered collec-
zion of facts to prove that the sanitary
laws of Moses were not only on line
with the modern rules of hygiene, but
in some cases in advance of them.
The Jew, thousands of years before
Christ, settling in semitropical coun-
try. was forbidden to eat pork or shell
fish, and milk was designated as a
source of contagion. In the Talmud a
method of slaughtering animals was
prescribed which is acknowledged to-
das in our markets as the most sani-
tary,
Five thousand years before Koch
gave to the world the results of his re-
searches in bacteriology. the Mosaic
law pointed out the danger to man
from tuberculosis in cattle, but did not
forbid infected poultry as food. 1t was
only few years ago that German spe-
cialists discovered that fowl tubercu-
losis was harmless to man.
The Mosaic law also enforced the
