Enough Ships Sunk Already.

A London dispatch announces, on
what authority 1t would be hard TO
guess. that after the coming peace
conference has settled the owner
ship of the surrendered German fleet,
all these vessels, big and little, Will
probably" be taken out into deep
water and sunk. The reason suG-
gested for this remarkable action is
that the entente powers do not care
To risk the controversies that would
attend an attempt TO divide these
ships among the NtCtors.
No mention was made, 1t Will be
observed, OF the possibility that they
will be given back to the original
and present owner-an omission eN-
plicable, presumably, by the fact that
such disposition Of them is purely
theoretical or academic possibility,
and can be thought of only in the
way that mathematicians think OF
extra citing the square root OF mega

McAdoO Resignation and Politics.


Secretary McAdoo's resignation
Immediately gave birth to the story
that he and the president are un.
friendly. and that he Is going 10
New York to start his boom for
president in 1920. This is Wa'hinI~
ton story, No. 1875. Its hbsurdk1
consists in theJfact that no demo.
crat with Wilson's opposition can
hope for the nomination in 1920. All
Washington stories are false Yet
nine-tenths of them are believed,
circulated as gospel truth over tho
country and soon acquire that sub.
stantiality that belongs to tales OF
which II is said that they are gen.
orally Understood" II has long
been generally understood" that
McAdoo is to be Wilson's successor
sons backing, and yet the new
washington story suddenly makes
him paScandidate against father-in-
law a great gossip factory Is
Washington. The resignation Of Sec
retarv McAdOo is consistent with the
opinion that he will be the Wilson
candidate. He halls from New York,
and that is an advantage. Born In
the south, he will have southern sup
mort for the nomination. No cand-
date can run with Mr.. Wilson against
his candidacy. Item No. 3. Going
back to New York he can pay per-
sonaI attention TO his candidacy, can
recover his health. IL it is impalfed,
and strengthen himself financially.
Having raised wages, McAdoo drops
out, to let somebody else lower
them. The McAdoo resignation tends
to the belief that he has the presl.
dental bee.

tinued exercise by President Wilson
OF his strong personal influence over

national crisis, an influence hitherto
