nearly always radiantly cheerful. occa-

sincerity of the chronicle is unchallenge-
able. As human documents these frank
missives from the front far transcend many
efforts of professional word-palntng.

CONTINUING THE QUARANTINE

nEsPITE the loss and inconvenience
that must fall Unexpectedly to a great
many people, 1t is impossible not to feel
that the health authorities are following
the dictates of prudence in preparing for
q continuance of the influenza quarantine
BY limiting public meetings during the
coming week.
The physicians are dealing with an epi-
demic of an extraordinarily virulent dis
ease. They have found that convalescents
are frequently germ carriers. Thus one
person who has recovered from influenza
may spread the infection to innumerabe
others for a week or more after his own
complete recovery.

WAKING UP TO NAVAL NEEDS

THAT the Secretary of the Navy no
= longer fears 10 urge adequate and i'm
pressive naval protection for the nation
Is consolingly demonstrated by the com
prehensive rev building program which
Congress has been asked to authorize.
Shying at preparedness is neither politi-
cally nor patriotically profitable just now
and Mr. Daniels has sagaciously decided to
swim with the tide of necessity.
The new budget in the form of a three.
year naval program, supplementary to the
pne authorized in 1916, provides for the
expenditure of 100000 900. Ten super
dreadnoughts will be built and six battle
cruisers The li0 smaller vessels will be

tions specifically arising out of the wars

ships Is an encouraging sign that the pe-
cuhar emergency Of the times has not led
10 hasty misconceptions regarding the
value of major war vessels. In the most
unspectacular but thoroughly effective
way Britain with her superb battleships
and the United States with its own con-
tributions to the great Allied fleet are
winning naval victories without firing a
,shot save those Of practice and in ma
neuvers.
The American people have long had the
sound conviction that their feet was the
( arst arm of the national security.
