Congress and the Press
lFrom The Detroit Journal

Press criticism Of Congress has increased
in recent years. There are at least two good
reasons for it, For one thing, extreme par
tisanship is almost extinct among the news
papers; few of them will give unstinted
praise TO members of their own party or go
upon the principle that the opposition can
DO no right. For another thing statesman
ship is Of lower grade than it has been at
periods in the past. This is probably bound
TO be whore private interests compete for
brains with the public service.
This press criticism has it's natural reac-
ton on Congress. The CALLED Jade winces.
Reprisals suggest themselves One OF these
retaliatory measures is now in effect. It
compels every newspaper TO reeite certain
facts about its ownership, circulation and
state of its credit. The act does neither
harm nor good.
Now comes Senator Stone with threats Of
muzzlng, and Senator Owen with a PROPOSE
ton to have all political advertising marked
advertising" OIL pain of heavy penalty Our
patriots ct Warrington plainly are feeling
for something tlat will injure the business
Of the press or hurt its feelings. They have
not hit upon the trick yet. But they're reach
ing. They may get under our hides yet.
The way out OF this trouble is not clear
Criticism Of Congressional wrongdoinc and
stupidity is very necessary TO the public well
fare. Yet in n way Congress is not 10 blame
1t is low grade because high grade, free mill
Inc material is absorbed elsewhere. In the
dilemma, the newspapers have TO choose
between being patriotic and being charitable.
Il Is chsrity which loses.

Marie Antoinette in the Berkshires
To the Editor of The Tribun

To inc EdItor OF TIC ITIUuHt
Sir: 1t is reported that Marie Antoinette,
when she was told that the French people had
no bread, replied, "Why don't they eat cake ?"
This is supposed to argue on her part GER
tain lack Of understanding Of life's realities.
Recently, it is reported, wealthy summer
resident of Berkshire, on being informed by
his superintendent that the necessary labor
could not be secured TO NOV the lawns, tele-
graphed from New York, "Plough them up
and plant them, then" A century OF demOc-
racy does not seem to have eliminated all the
ignorance regarding lifes realities. The
French were angered by Marie. Unfortunately
VIC are only amused by our wealthy summer
resident. WALTER PRICHARD EATON.

West Points Future

West Point graduated the other day 1873
cadets. That was its contribution for 1917
to the officers corps Of the army-a micro
scopic contribution to a body which now
numbers 5000 and which will soon num-
Der from $4,000 to $4,000.
The army long ago outgrew West
Points capacity to furnish it with officers.
1t has also outgrown an educational sys-
tenn based on West Point traditions In
the old days the Military Academy was
supposed to provide an army officer with
schooling sufficient to last him through
out his career. Now we have learned that
an officers education must continue long
after he enters the army and that the more
valuable part Of it must be gained later in
the service schools These schools alone can
now fit an officer for higher command.
West Points function in our military
system is no longer what it used to be.
The percentage of its graduates in the
officers corps has been decreasing. After
the corps has been expanded to 10000, and
then to $4,000, there Will be scarcely a
trace left in the army of West Point in
fuence, save in the highest grades A SIN
gle military academy, whose traditions and
standards could dominate force of 10000
or 10000 men, would be lost to sight in an
establishment of from 100000 to 3,000,-
900 men.
/ 1t is obvious that West Point is facing
a crisis There is little hope of its retain
ing its present character after the war is
over. It's graduates and friends are there
fore looking ahead In recent article in
THE Journal of the Military Service Insti-
tuition" Major General Joseph p Sanger
/ l.. S. A. (retired), suggested modfica-
/ ton of the academy's curriculum which
would bring it more into line with modern
conditions. He favored reducing the course
to two years and eliminating all special
lied training. Only such elemental in
struction would be given as would turn out
competent second lieutenant, leaving spe-
cial corps and higher professional training
! for the service schools.
General Sanger has the right idea. AT
ter the war is over we shall have much
larger standing army than ever before
The officers corps will be more than ever
body of students and educators. 1t will
be a vast post graduate military school
Qualifications for entry into the corps will
be simpler, and many entrance schools will
be required where only one exists now
We shall doubtless have numerous mill
tary academies, each with two years
course, turning out more than twice the
number Of graduates West Point turns
out to-day.
To those who cherish the traditions
which cluster about West Point and would
like to see It's ancient prestige preserved
such a prospect may seem revolutionary
But we are in state Of revolution so far
as the development Of our military policy
is concerned. The greatest war she world

Difficulties in Home Canning
p Of The Tribune

TO Inc EdltOf OF IHe ITIDUHV'
Sir: | note with interest your many arti-
cles urging all classes to save the vegetables
by preserving in glass jars. That has been
my practice for some time, and have been
urging the nearby farmers to do the same.
The vegetables are far superior TO any on
the market, and il the government bulletins
are followed there is no difficulty.
But how can the poor or near-poor buy
glass jars, paraffin, etc? Also the rubbers
last year were so inferior that the contents
of many jars were spoiled. A FARMER.

new order a single military academy like

Deep Sea Navigation

You can take young man VINO knows
something Of trigonometry, or even one who
merely can add two and two, and by hard
work can teach him dead reckoning-that is,
the theory of it. He will learn how to do
"a days work." how to compute meridian
altitude for latitude, TO work up time sight,
and to figure courses and distances. But
even if letter perfect in this schoolboy part
of navigation he is far from being nayl-
gator-a practical navigator who can do the
work on the wide deep far from land. He
can hardly be trusted to lay a course or
get a star" that peeps through momen-
tary rift, after days of fog and doubtful
reckoning. He would be lost, and, what is
Of more Importance, a precious ship and
cargo would go with him, not to mention
few score of useful lives.
The science Of navigation is a study; its
practice is an art, a difficult art, not to be
picked up in few easy lessons The an
cient craft of seamanship that still persists,
in spite of steam and all its modern vessels,
cannot be culled from beneath the covers of
textbooks, nor can it be absorbed by enthu-
siastic attendance at lectures delivered upon
dry land. Sea legs, sea minds and sea
habits are the outgrowth of service ahoat, of

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The news having TO do with our over
seas shipping problem seems to indicate tnAt
most Of us are blind to a very vital part OF
the monumental task that lies ahead. We
can mobilize men and resources for the con-
struction OF additional merchant TONNAGE
steel workers, wood workers, artisans OF all
kinds can be diverted from their regular
tasks to the new one of building ships Sky-
scrapers, bridges and all sorts OF wooden
structures can be halted and new keeIs laid
down az soon as yards are ready. for exist
ing yards are already filled to capacity with
orders far ahead.
Young men will be trained TO man the
guns on these vessels; engineers VIII ne
found to handle their machinery, Tor we
have no lack of mechanical training to fall
back upon; crews will be enrolled and
whipped into shape-at least that seems to
be the general idea. But where VIII we get
the additional masters and mates trained
seamcn and navigators needed to pilot
these craft across the many wrinkled ocean!
A thousand additional transatlantic vessels
may be built in the course Of the next year
we can build anything within the limits OF
the strength of materials at hand, but we
must have five or six thousand additional
sea officers TO man these vessels as well as
those now on the STOCKS. Even to-day four
steamers are lying in Baltimore loaded for
sea, but not provided with the necessary
complement Of officers to enable them to
sail. and we must remember that by this
time all available seamen have been called
t. service by reason of the high remunera-
ton to be had.
