NTEMPERATE SPEECH

Senator Sherman, of Illinois, has not mended mat
tiers by the Incorporate remarks which he made in an
address on Tuesday. Intemperance in speech, like IN
temperance Of every other kind, rs sure to do more harm
than good. And in his sweeping denunciations Of mem
bersj of the presidents cabinet and of others of his trusted
aides, in comparing them to professional agitators on TINS
side Of the ocean and to the Bolsheviki on the other, MI.
Sherman abuses the privilege OF his position and COM
mits an onense which brings discredit on the distin-
Euished body of which he is a member.
1t happens that Senator Sherman is a member OF
the Republican party. If he thought to strengthen the
case Of his party by his ill-judged language he has conf
mitted a srievous error, for there is no surcr way to bring
discredit upon a party than by creating the impression
that its spokesman are determined to make political
CAPITAL, regardless of facts. If his explosion was due to
a fit Of temper, the senator should learn to control him
self better. -
Every citizen is entitled to his opinion of the men,
berssof the presidents official family. 1t may be as:
suned that those gentlemen are not perfect, and some
Of them may have been poorly chosen. But, whatever
their shortcomings may be, they are respectable citizens
and are not fit targets for the flood of Billingssate which
Mr.. sherman has let loose upon them.

NAVAL ACTIVITIES

A week ago British war vessels sank ten, German
trawlers in the Cattegat. On Monday of this week other
British naval vessels succeeded in sinking close to the
entrances to the harbors of zeebrusse and ostend other
German craft. Neither Of these operations was of first
magnitude, and both lacked the spectacular features Of
battles between ocean giants armed with guns of trcmen-
dous range and power. Whether or not either has any
significance as indicating plans for further naval opera
tons Of first importance does not appear. But. whatever
may follow, they furnish evidence Of the alertness Of the
great naval force which has made allied transportation
by sea possible during these long months Of submarine
warfare.
In itself the engagement in the Cattegat is of minor
Importance. The trawlers which were sunk were parts
of a great fleet Of small German. craft engaged in the lay
ing of mines and other similar work. The destruction Of
ten of these craft in one day rids the seas of just that
much mischief, and increases proportionately the difficult
ties Of the German naval board.
The action before Ostend and Zeebrugge was more
hazardous, and it may have more important results. These
Belgian ports have been utilized as submarine bases by
the Germans, and their proximity to the British coast has
rendered the work of protecting traffic from, submarines
exceedingly difficult. The approaches to these harbors
are thickly sown with mines. A vessel approaching was
obliged to risk destruction by one Of these mines, and was
in danger Of attack by submarines. Heavy land batteries
also make 1t necessary for hostile ships to keep their dis
Etance. r.
~ now SuCCe6DIuI u attempt u II CH0HHclo
has been remainssto be seen. The water along the Bel
gian coast Is shallow, and even in times Of peace the
harbors must be approached with care. II the sinking
Of boats across these channels has actually bottled up the
harbors a work of vast importance hastbeen accomplish
ed. There still remain the German bases, but one Of the
elements which has contributed to the work of the sub
marines is the number 81 bases available to which the
undersea craft could run for shelter and refitting. and
from which they could emerge like wasps from I nest
II two. OF the most important Of these bases have been put
out Of business a great gain has been made.
The sinking Of these boats has been compared to the
