Recognizing the British Admiralty
(From the New York Trlbune)

Sudden and sweeping changes at
Whitehall were foretold with great
confidence when Sir Eric Geddes was
appointed First Lord Of the Admiral
ty. and after three weeks Of eager
expectation we are informed that
the Permanent Secretary has been
removed and that Sir Rosslyn We
myss succeeds Sir Cecil Burney as
Second Sea Lord.
This is probably only a beginning.
but it will surely be a little disap.

looking for a revolution and are TO
be satisfied with nothing less than
complete reorganization from top 10

the fault Of those enthusiasts who
have elevated Sir Eric Geddes into 3
sort OF superman who touched moth
ing that was a little rusty without
converting It Instantly into the most
amazingly accurate and smooth work
ing machine ever conceived by NOR
tai mind.
Less than two months before no
succeeded Sir Edward Carson, Sir
Eric was appointed an additional
member Of the Board Of Admiralty
under the revived title OF Controller
and we were assured that because Of
his efforts alone everything had been
completely changed In a few weeks
Men had been fred out right and left,
new and better men had taken their
places, and in the twfnkling of an eye
a stupendous reform was achieved
and all departments were running
more evenly than they ever ran be-
fore and at twice the speed For the
reform was applied as we understand

ness, but to the Admiralty generally.

the war at sea.
There was some Justification, then,
for the exaggerated hopes Of impa-

worth preserving in what Sir Edward
Carson left behind him and were
prepared to witness a clean sweep.

.NYHYs VS.. aYRRRnrrN,

Germany, under autocracy. they say "verboten"
and that ends it, Nobody dares ask why?
In democracy the multitude is accustomed to ask
Why when anyone says "verboten"
The Kaiser can kick premier around the block and
the plain people may say nothing
The autocrat may decree foodless days If he wishes
and woe betde him who asks questions
Under democracy we will decree our own hardshins
but we must first know the reason. We have the
right to ask why?
One of the first things American children learn is to
ask why.
One Of the first things German children learn is to
obey!
And, so all the children Of earth may have their
chance to ask why the democraces Of the world are
going to kick the last "verboen" sign OFF the planet
The eternal desire to ask and learn and reason is
going to be enhroned the supremest thing on earth
And that in very plain simple way is what it's all
