TIMELY AMERICAN DOCTRINE.

One OF the best things done by Theo-
dore Roosevelt during his recent visit to
| Washington D. c.. was to encourage non
partisan voting in Congress on measures
which relate to the prosecution of the
war. The ex-president urged all mem
bers of the Senate and of the House to
abandon party lines and to support the
administration regardless of politics
whenever measures designed to advance
the interest of the United States and our
allies are up for consideration In doing
this, Roosevelt stamped himself as an
American patriot first of all and poll
tician somewhere else down the line; and
he gave the lie to those who claim that
Roosevelt has been urging greater speed
and greater efficiency simply because he
willing to sacrifice, Americanism to pol
tiles Roosevelt realizes that the United
States is facing real crisis in interna
tional relations, and he is striving to inn
press upon all Americans, and particu-
larly those engaged in legislating for us.
that we must sink petty political dis
sensions and rally to the common cause
of the government and of our allies.
Now that Roosevelt has taken this de-
cided stand, stand which, by the way
most men gave him credit for at the
present time, it is wise for the whole
American people to follow suit, not blind |
" accepting and acquescing but striving
10 give some constructive aid toward the
common purpose, We do not need to be
followers of Roosevelt to do this but we
must accompany him-all Americans

CURRENT COMMENT

In crops and six billion in animals and
animal products. Now what do these
figures meanY
We have at hand decidedly inter-
esting basis of comparison. Congress
plans this winter to appropriate seven
teen billions for war purposes, eleven
billions for the United States to eN-
pend and six to lend to our allies. There
is not much difference between seven
teen billions and nineteen and one half
when we come to such figures. But even
if there were, our states and cities are
carving many additional war expenses,
such as the $40 a month bonus which
our own commonwealth is paying, That
would make up the difference.
We are thus throwing into the great
NAV of the war the equivalent OF the
entire agricultural product of the Unit
ed States. These crops sell this syear
at very high figures. but the United
States is paying the same prevailing
prices for the things that 20 into The

Airplanes VS.. Warships.

The development OF the airplane as a
fighter of the warship proceeds apace.
and we may look for many battles be-
tween forces in the air and on the water
before the war is brought to an end. IL
is now the airplane, as the scout and
guide OF the destroyer, that is the most
dreaded enemy of the submarine One
small scout high in the air may show a
number of destroyers exactly where TO
aim their depth bombs for the destruc-
ton Of vessel that has submerged for
safety, And the increasing use of this
method of fighting the submersibles must
be accounted a cause OF their decreasing
success
The larger airplanes, however, may do
much harm to enemy ships of all kinds
without the aid of destroyers. Rising
from auxiliary to independent action, in
proportion to their growing flight range
and weight carrying power, the planes
will become more formidable in attacks
on ships of war, and will strike these at
points where the cooperation OF friendly
destroyers or cruisers against the ships
of the enemy cannot be obtained Ii

the Dardanelles and ran her nose into

are heavily mined, and only a Turkish or
German pilot acquainted with the secret
of the mine laying could hold a vessel
safe. But the aircraft, sailing overhead,
could keep the fleeing cruiser in sight,
rain bombs upon her as she ran, and let
her have a torrent of them when, dis
abled, she grounded near Fort Niagara.

HOW He MET HER

Joseph was a very conscientious
young man. As a boy he had been
known at baseball 10 dispute the de-
cision of an umpire IN his favor. Even
the ordinary social lines were repel-
liant TO him.
With such character there was only
one thing that the young man could
ultimately become.
Shortly after he became a reviewer
of fiction for the Sun Ii happened that
he met Florence. Florence was jolly
Southern girl, and had at comparative
ly early age been left an orphan. II
was shortly after Florence had become
a governess that she and Joseph met.
Her face was wholesome and practical
rather than beautiful. For some weeks
he never told her his love. Then one
afternoon he took her TO hear an ora
torio II may have been the effect Of
the music or OF the tea anc toas, at the
Eastman cafe afterward, or OF the long
ride to Baltimore over the Washington
pike.
The fact remains that when they
climbed into the touring car he called
her Miss Bordeaux, and when they
parted at the end of the journey he
called her Florence. One night there
was an air OF mystery about her.
Shortly she said, "you will see me

The next morning there was brought
to his room a large parcel of novels
from the Sun. He groaned, because
they meant work, and even the reading
of novels Is not pleasant if you are
paid for 1t.
He tore his mind away from romance
in real life and settled down TO ro-
nance as 1t Is written, and the very
first volume that he picked up was en-
titled MY Love of Bygone Days" by /,
Florence Bordeaux. This. then, was
the new light in which Florence was
to appear She had written novel |
and he was to review It.
He wondered If the editor OF the Sun |
would stand an entire column about |

regretted that he had discovered three
