SEA POWER TRIUMPHS

If Admiral Mahan could have liv-
ed to witness the events of the last
fortnight, says a Boston exchange,
he would have seen new and over
whelming verification of his nota-
BILE thesis that sea power has won
most of the great wars of history.
1t was Engiand's command of the
ocean that vanquished Napoleon.
It was the strictness of the northern
blockade that throttled the South
during our own CivilWar. 1t was
Admiral Togo's victory in the Sea of
Japan that sealed the fate of the
Russian army in the far east. And
it was just as truly the Allied mas
terry of the Seven Seas that ulti-
mately drove the two kaisers from
their thrones.
without the silent, steady pres
sure of the grand fleet the German
people could not have been goaded
by hunger into revolution. Without
supremacy at sea the steady flow of
men and munitions from America
would have been altogether out of
the question. The most critical juno
ure of the whole struggle was the
one at which q possible mastery of
the sea lanes by submarines put the
whole Allied cause for few months
in serious jeopardy. When the sub
marine menace was conquered the
Issue became one of time alone.
For twenty years the German gov
rnment devoted itself assiduously
to the creation of a fleet which
might some day hope to challenge
England, 1t was the German hope
thai bv attrition, accident or some
fortunate circumstances their fleet
might be enabled to face the Eng
Iish on something like equal terms.
But that opportunity never came.
The one encounter off Jutland bank
was enough. The whole truth con-
cerning that sea fight has never
been told but when the Germans are
willing to give the world the real
facts concerning their own losses
there will be no need to ask why
the KIel fiotilla kept close to shore
for the rest of the war. England
nav have been slow in her milt-
tary preparations; her statesmen and
soldiers may have bungIed things
in Mesopotamia and and the Darda-
uaiIes: but the handling OF her
great navy has been superb from
frst TO last. As . demonstration of
u,hat sea power can do toward the
winning of a war the world has
.never aeen anything 20 impressive
az the event OF the last -FOUR years.

LIGHT For POST OFFICE

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Conservation everywhere has been
practiced until the patience of the
public is well nigh satiated. Just
so long as there was q real cause
for discontinue and the many try
ing ordeals, the writer acquiesced
heartily and peacefully and en-
couraged the process. However,
as q frequent visitor to the Post
Office in the evening and early
morning hours, among many other
boxholders, he finds the lobby on
the Third street side SO poorly iliu-
minated that 1t is almost impossible
to see and locate the box numbers.
The boxholders in the rear of the
elevator are especially tnconveni-
enced.
1t is also a matter of regret that
there is no light burning at the
Third rect entrance early in the
morning. 1t is sufficiently difficult
to enter the portals of the office af-
ter the entrance is reached by rea-
son of the peculiar construction of
the doors, to say but little about the
lack of proper light. Women and
children find their strength taxed
to the utmost in gaining admis-
sion.

To Our Boys Wao Died in the Training Camps
OUR CAMP HEROES

TAR, far from Flanders fields they lie,
! Beneath the gray November sky,
Our soldier dead.
No poppies blow, no song birds fly,
No din of carnage where they lie,
No bursting shells o'erhead.
But they are dead. Short days ago
They were at camp; saw sunset glow,
Lived, laughed,-and now they lie
Far, far from Flanders fields.
Their aim it was to fight the foe,
To be where failing hands could throw
To them the torch; to bear it high.
They kept the faith; they heard your cry,
But God knew best; and so they lie,
Far, far from Flanders fields.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS

TN FLANDERS fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
- That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago d,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved; and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

To you, from failing hands, we throw
The torch. Be yours to lift it hight
If ye break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
