What the Navy Is Doing

From Philadelphia Public Ledger
America has supreme confidence that
the men Of the Navy are doing their
full duty in the war zone, but that
confidence is based on faith-"the evil
dence of things not seen'-a faith that
is firmly founded on a brilliant record
of faithful achievement through the en-
tire history of the nation, But the peo-
pie are hungry for details, and they
have been utterably unable to under
stand policy of silence which differs
50 radically from that followed with
respect to the Army. AT the beginning
of the war when there was reason for
swift and silent action, the country was
quite willing to remain in the dark and
was patient under a deprivation which
was a keen trial to those whose loved
ones are Drawing the perils OF the deep
in tn face of peril even more cruel
and deadly than the normal dangers OF
wind and weather. Happily there IS
today a promise that their patience
will be rewarded. Secretary Daniels
has lifted the ban, and it is to be en-
pected that the discriminating censor
ship that has been in force so long will
be abolished and that we shall hear the
inspiring details of a service in which
heroism and endurance are displayed
quite as constantly and conspicuously
as in that which has taken our boys to
the trenches in Flanders, in Picardy
and in Lorraine. 1t has apparently
taken the Navy Department a long
time to rectify a useless and discrimin-
ating censorship, but now that it has
done it the country will look for a
story that should thrill the world and
give new strength and inspiration to
those who are being prepared for ser
vice abroad.

Like friends, how many words there
are with which we feel reasonably we'll
acquainted, but when it comes to
show down we find scarcely know
at all. Our government has been sell
ing bonds ever since it was established,
and the word itself passed among us as
familiar as could be- Not one out of
ten people, however, had any real con-
ception of what government bond was
like or what it really constituted, until
the present war. There are some who
have but vague conception even yet,
as it seems from the inquiry of a ives
tern farmer who desires to know to
whom he will have to pay the interest
on the bond he bought!
Endowment" is another familiar
word, or at least has become so since
DR.. Thomas has been waging his pres
ent campaign for the safeguarding of
Middlebury College. Endowment" in
the sense most properly used is a per-
manent fund established for the support
of an institution, only the income of
which fund is to be actually spent The
money anyone subscribes, either in cash
of Liberty Bonds, to the present col
lege fund, will never be spent. The
fifty or the hundred dollars that you
give toward this endowment i not to
be spent by the college for buildings or
anything else whatever. 1t is only the
interest on this money-possibly three
or six dollars a year that the col
lege will spend, and that three
to six dollars interest fifty years from
now may still be doing duty toward
the education of your grandson or great
grandson, or mine What more delight
full form of speculation than this1

1t was a treat to have Corporal Guy
cite and Sergt, Jones among us with
their frst-hand stories OF the front, and
the two members of the Public Safety
Committee who met the expense OF the
evening, amounting to SIS, out of their
own pockets ought not to be allowed
to bear that burden alone. Particu-
larly, looking to the future, ought we
not to have some local fund with which
we can periodically provide ourselves
with such speakers? There were 1909
persons present last Friday night and
not one of them volunteered to help
meet the expense, which would have
amounted to a per capita tax OF only
one cent
