AMERICANS FOR ACTION. Believe in Navy Assuming Offensive
 A0ainst Germany.

Washington, June 26.-American naval officers showed great interest in the demand of Winston Spencer Churchill, former First Lord of the British Admiralty. for aggressive ac- ton by the allied fleets. especially since the entry of America into the war. Omcers were inclined to agree with MT. Churchill.
 The first effect of an offensive pol icy by the entente and American na- vies, 1t was stated, would be to make the Germans man their coast artil- lery. While the number of men de- manded for this would be relatively small, the amount of materials con- stunned would be considerable, and this accomplishment alone, it was de- clared, would be more than any other achieved by the allied fleets except ing the closure of the sea to enemy commerce and the protection of allied trade.
 It was not believed that the allied riavies ought immediately to attack German naval bases. Bases, it was said, are loaded" but the very strength of land Notifications was said to be their weakness also, as they are fixed and unable to protect other points on the coast.
 American officers asserted that should the strength of the allied fleets be used against Germany, the submarine menace would fade like snow in the sun.

ARE YOU WORTHY OF TRUST?
Let Us First Be Sure That We Deserve
Confidence Before We Demand
1t, Urges Writer.

People resent an insinuation that
they are not to be trusted, in general,
or with a particular duty. Do we not
look within In impartial judgment to
see whether we really merit trust?
Are we sufficiently competent to I'M
dertake the task In question? Are
we wise enough to inform ourselves of
matters wherein we find ourselves ig-
norant3 Are we clearsighted enough
to estimate rightly men and affairs?
Are we giving single-hearted service
to our fellow man?
Let US first be worthy of trust be-
fore we demand it, says writer in
the Milwaukee Journal. 1t is poor
satisfaction to gain trust to which we
know ourselves not entitled. Let our
first effort TO be to deserve trust; then
whether it is bestowed on us or not
will be of second consideration. Mac
donald said: ITO be trusted Is a great
err compliment than to be loved" Yet
trust is the foundation Of love. 1t is
well to be slow in bestowing trust.
Let time prove its worth. Once you
find the man whom you may implicitly
trust. treasure him closely. There IL
an old saying, Eat peck of salt with
a NTH before you trust him."

Advice for Husbands.

Most words of wisdom that fall from
the pens of experts on the subject Of
love are written for women Appar-
entity these little sermons are written
with the idea that only mans love is
worth keeping and that woman's can
not possibly last.
We are told that man must never be
bored by trlfing domesticities, but in
stead be encouraged TO talk about his
business, and so on. Why should 1t
be addressed to one sex onlyf
Why not say to husbands: Remem-
Der that women are women and that
their great need is for love. Love is
their vocation, the thing they do best.
their greatest need in life. Why should
the wife be expected to listen admir-
ingly to the husbands tale of routing
of a commercial rival when he does
not show an equal courtesy when she
describes her experiences of the day7
