SEA POWER

THE only ships Of the German navy that
L sail the seas are submarines The
only German merchant ships on the ocean
are those seized by tho Entente Allies and
the United States.
The German navy is penned in the Baltic
and It will stay there so long as the naval
power of the Entente remains unimpaired
and so ons as our own navy can co.
operate with our allies. We have been
spending money lavishly in building new
ships OF war; how layishly is concealed
by the censor. But that expenditure must
continue so long as the uar lasts, for on II
depends the freedom Of the seas to the
troop transports and the food ships.
Money without stint is needed Tor this
work
But Sea Power in this war must he
ueded by merchant ships as well as by
ships OF the navy. The cry from Europe
IL for ships and more ships, and then ships
again. Contracts have been let for iii0
steel vessels and for 400 wooden vessels.
Work on them is progressing in more than
100 different shipyards They cannot ba
completed in time without great increase
in the number Of men employed and with
out the provision OF housing accommoda'
tions for the men in the districts about the
shipyards. The money has been provided,
but force without STINT cannot be exercised
through shipping unless LABOR without
stint is devoted to the work. Greater con.
centratlon Of attention on this pressing
problem is imperative at onos
The base Of the American armies is
3e0O miles away from their center of op-
er8tons That there should be adequate
communication between the two is one OF
the fundamentals Of military strategy. An
army cut off from its base Of supplies is
at the mercy OF the enemy. An army in.
adequately supplied from its base because
Of inadequate transportsti ton facilities ia
only a little less at the mercy Of the foe
The ocean is the vital link in the chain
with which German tyranny is to he bound.
We are strengthening that link every
week The ships now in commission are
speeding back and forth as rapidly as
safety permits England is lending us
ships to be used until our own can be
launched, but she needs them for her own
work
We may pile up munitions and food on
our wharves. We may have hundreds Of
thousands Of men ready to go to France
And we may be eager to send men, food
and munitions on the way. But all these
must wait the expansion OF our power on
the sea.
Force to the utmost in Man Power and
Woman Power and force to the utmost in
Money Power are dependent for their ox-
ercise upon the successful application OF
force TO the utmost and without stint on
Sea Power
Education will be discussed MondayD

A FIREMAN For GOVERNOR?

TT is easy to pardon-nay to praise -
4 Judge Eugene c. Bonniwell for the at
titude of mind that leads him to accept the
support of the wet Democrats as his yearn'
ing for Office expands glorously in an as
piration for the governorship. What ten
dency could be more appropriate to a
volunteer fireman? Long has Judge Bon.
niwen waved as president Of the Volunteer
Firemen's Association Of Pennsylvania.
His mystic approval Of wet things is
funded, no doubt, upon just appreciation
the essential means Of fighting conha'
!. ,ation.
There are other reasons why his candi'
dacy is important. In the far days, as
yet but dimly vsioned when the travail.
ing spirit of humanity is released from
war. there must be new searchinEs Of the
heart everywhere, and especially in politics.
There will be a new and a sharper scru-
tiny of public affairs Many Of the an
cient wishes Of mankind will make them
selves felt again in an urge for better
things. And It is possible that many Of
the cherished Institutions Of party systems
may be endangered. Among these familiar
fnstltutions of government are the chaste
salute Of the politician to the babe in
arms. the picnic speech from a soapbox;
the glad hand-shake; the parade Of the
marching clubs; the fraternal agreements
OF organizations such as Judge Bonnlwell
has served SO vaiiantly from his Office Of
president; tho grand ball. and so on and
40 on.
Judge Bonniwell is in spirit the impreg'
nable sanctuary Of such traditions. he
must = aken seriously. He has led more
i,afades ~ far communities, he has praised
more babies he has delivered more picnic
sbeeches than any other politician in our

CHANGING STYLES IN MONEY

WIlEN Representative OShaunessy stood
w valantly upon his two legs in Con.
gross and cried aloud for the coinage
of new fftecn.cent piece he almost
brought fame blazing down upon the state
OF Rhode Island. which claims the dis.
tinction of his allegiance. For Mr.
OShaunessy was blunderinG along road
that the mind OF the public has been
exploring more or less bindly for several
years. and in the bill that he presented
he suggested the goal-which is a complete
change in the styles Of coins and a special
currency especially designed, valued and
minted for women.
Since all virtue and esteem departed from
the cent, the two-cent piece has been a
necessity beyond dispute. We shall have
TO go further than that fifteen-cent
piece would be OF little use The price OF
cocktails has gone 10 a quarter But we
surely are approaching the day when
uinety.nine'cent pieces and twenty-three.
cent pieces and forty.eisht-cent pieces
must be minted. These new coins will come
when few more ladies' arc in Congress.
No woman ever buys anything for a
dollar or for a quarter or for fifty cents.
She insists on having at least one cent in
change. No one knows why this is II is
part Of the great mystery.

LABOR'S ANSWER

INHlLE the Senate and the House III
wv washington were preparing for
period of friction over the provision OF the
ao.called sabotage" bill which would deny
the right of labor to strike during tho
war. labor in this city was proving the
ueedlessness Of argument one way or an
other upon this point. Forty labor leaders,
representing 10000 workers, voluntarily
pledged their organizations not to strike
or engage in any delay or demonstrations
before peace is declared. Lewis II. tar-
sons. director of the Liberty Loan cam
l caixn, presided at the meeting OF the
labor men. The most influential leaders
were present Resolutions pedSng the
loyalty of labor unions and their wish to
cooperate to the fullest extent with the
Government we're adopted.
A similar spirit is being manifested in
all parts OF the country. The sporadic
strikes reported at intervals are unim-
portant when viewed in relation to the
magnificent cooperation Of labor as a
whole in the war program. Here and
mere a few workers and a few employers
are unwilling to forget selhshness. They
are rare exceptions Labor in England
and in France as well as in the United
States has proved its intelligence as well
as it's vision and loyalty in an inspiring
manner by whole-souled devotion to the
sommon aim and 10y willingness to for
get, for the time being, the conventional
demands and desires. The workers in
Philadelphia have, by voluntary gesture
of patriotism, added more evidence to the
proofs which show on every hand how
sound the country is at heart, how high
It's faith is and how swiftly we are be-
coming unified in the one iron determina-
ton for war to victory.

WHEN FRITZ is CAPTURED

THE German soldier in France Is trained
l. to think that his battle is against per
fdious England the perverted land that
would substitute mullins and orange pekoe
for the hardy wurst and seidel lie is told
that the French are really spiritual allies
Of his, who are lighting him only for their
love Of paradox.
So when Fritz is captured, as sometimes
happens, and after he has been fumigated
and given square meal nc looks around
and gets several surprises. lie finds that
besides the English and the Irish and the
"weemcn frae he'll" and the vearerS Of
the Welsh lcek, and in addition to the
paradoXical polus. there are others ar
rayed against him
lie sees Portuguese for instance a
valiant and considerable army Of them,
lie sees a Polish legion. He finds RUS
sisns, serving under other colors since
their own new banner has not reached
them yet lie finds Belgians still in it
whimsical fellows, still to be at it; and
fierce black men from Africa Chinese
Canadians and Anaacs. and fellows with
little bags OF makings in their shirts And
he even finds some brawny chaps from
Anchorage, Alaska, where the whole town
lifted its mudhook and enlisted Ell masse
to see what it could do to the Hun.
Gradually It dawns on Fritz that he has
tackled large order Little by little the
League to Enforce Peace has indeed come
true. And while it takes some time to
get the necessary coordination among such
diverse commands in the end not even
