one of the hottest legal fights ever

IS DANIELS FALL PRESAGED?

The Washington Post is found editor
tally questioning the efficiency of the d-
rection of the American navy. What
does this mean? The Post has been
looked upon as an exponent of the ideas
of the administration as held in the inner
family circle of the Presidents council
lors; and even a remote expression of
doubt regarding the Navy Department
is, of course, interpreted to contain an
intimation that Josephus Daniels is no
longer rendering service which would
impel the President to retain him in
charge of his portfolio. This, however,
is almost too good to be true. Through
good and evil report the President has
manifested his confidence in and devo-
ton to his Secretary of the Navy. When
Mr.. Daniels, through George Creel or

be turned out by the thousands, If this
is all true, would it not have been advis-
able to have marked Mr.. Bakers state
ment ''private" and locked it up till
couple of thousand had been made, fitted
to fighting planes and delivered to as
many trained American aviators Eat
port in France" We have just been
reading about the recent invention of an
Illuminated bullet, the course of which
can be seen from the time it leaves the
rifle till it strikes at or near the target.
The Germans are an observant, inventive
and resourceful people. We should not
be surprised if the next news we heard
about these bullets came from Gen. Haig,
stating that the Germans were using
of the kind in locating his
dug-outs. Oh, censorship, thou art an
ostrich.

POOR LITTLE SWITZERLAND.

This now wretched and suffering little
country is about half as large as the
State of Maine and has a population of
about 1000, 000 Bounded on three sides
by Germany, France and England it is
beset by difficulties and it is almost a
miracle that it has not been involved in
the war 1t is said that the people are
suffering for food and are forced to pay
$50 ton for coal, which in former times
has been obtained from Germany. Prob
ably in no other of the little neutral ma
tons is the privation so great. Much as
we sympathiSe we have been compelled by
the stern necessities of war to enforce
strict embargo on all exports to Switzer-
land. In one month of the present year
we sold to that country three and one
half times as much of our products as in
the entire year prec eding the war. Swiss
importers sold these products to Germany
for profit and the Swiss Republic dared
not to make a protest. Stand and de-
liver or the mailed fist strikes, was the
ultimatum of the Kaiser. We cannot
blame Switzerland but the embargo must
be enforced vigorously and without mercy.
1t is a strong weapon against Prussianism
and must not be laid aside.

NOTHING SLOW ABOUT SIAM.

More than two months and a half have
elapsed since Siam declared war on Ger
many, but there have been no German
plots or conspiracies in this little king
dom as yet, nor is there likely to be- The
declaration of war was announced at day
break on July 22nd, and within an hour
every German in Siam was rounded up
and was on his way to an internment
camp. The Siamese may be backward in
many respects but they know how to do
things promptly and well in some emer-
gencies.-Springfield Union.
We do not know how much knowledge
Siam has concerning the art Of war, but
she has evidently graduated from a pri-
mary school, where practical common
sense has been taught.
Moral? Well, it is not necessary.

COAL, AND SOCIALISM.

Dr. Garfield, to whom was given the
work of controlling the production, trans
portation and distribution of coal, has
encountered an obstacle which it is fear
ed he cannot overcome. The transporta-
ton companies and the dealers have met
his requests and demands and the de-
mands of the public in patriotic and
reasonably unselfish manner, although
the transportation to New England points
has not yet been up to our expectations
nor equal to our needs. The coal mine
operators, the men who have bought and
developed coal fields, equipped mines and
are furnishing the immense capital for
the carrying on of their business have
also met the demands of the administra-
ton and have submitted to the prices
named for coal delivered on board the
cars. The United Mine Workers, an as
ISOLATION composed of men who mine the
coal and send it to the surface, are block
ing every effort Of DR.. Garfield by a de-
mand for an advance in wages of from
twenty to seventy percent for miners and
of Sl.90 day for surface men and hand
lers. The necessity for coal is such that
the demands must be granted 1t may
be right for the men to have better pay.
That is not the question we are consider
ing. The advance in wages will in large
degree counter-balance the efforts of the
railroads, the concessions of the dealers
and the work of Mr. Garfield.
There is something involved in the de-
mand of the United Mine Workers which
is of much more Importance than posi-
Bile increase of the price of coal. Many
of the leaders of that body are rank
socialists some of them are anarchistic
pro-Germans. Two or three years ago
delegate to one of their conventions said:
eve claim as our toll on coal all but the
transportation. Quite recently dele
gate said eve will continue our demands
Gor wages) till the mines are ours" Next
to Germany, socialism and its kindred
cults are the most dangerous foes of the
United States. By leaps and bounds it is
gaining strength, and after the war it
will strike at the vitals of the nation.
