maxim. in naval warfare, that an
enemy which is separated from us
by the broad eXpanse OF an ocean
and which must be crossed to attack
us, must have a superior force to our
own, to except any degree OF sue

"A war with Great Britain, the
only country that has stronger
navy than ours, is to my mind utter
ly out. of the question; and hence
there is no other. not one. that we
can imagine that would be foolish
enough to meet us on our shores, or
attempt an invasion.
When our ships had all returned
from the war zone. when peace was
declared. our secretary of the navy
very wisely decided that Washing
tons adage in time of peace pre-
pare for war still holds good. and
that since our Atlantic coast had
heretofore been the most probable
scene OF hostilities ais ii was, that
now. being at peace with the whole
world, with no prospective wars for
years to come, that our Pacific coast
should be developed as our Atlantic
coast had been in bygone years.
"And so our secretary very wise
ly decided to send this magnificent
fleet. consisting OF over l75 vessels.
aggregating over 100000 tons dis

we want you good people of the

hearty cooperative assistance in
keeping up its efficiency.
Let me add that many of our
men who came into service during
the war are seen TO be discharged,
to re-engage in their several pursuits
and occupations which they previous

to lend hand in our recruiting by

GoaDlNG THE CONSUMER

The national house of represents
tives has done we'll in reeonsidering
its plan of adjournment for five
weeks and deciding to remain in
session to deal with the BIG problem
now coming to a focus-the high
cost OF living.
At present this matter is receiving
more consideration by the public, by
the press and also by the most pub
lie authorities, than the peace treaty.
And certainly it is essential that the
food-cost problem, so long neglect
ed, should be dealt with intelligently
and earnestly without any more de-
lay.
Another man's-size job is the set
Ting Of the wage disputes; a job
which at the present is one of the
greatest this nation ever faced. The
railway employees, most of whom are
socialists, are clamoring for what
virtually amounts to government
ownership of the roads. A noticeable
feature of the situation is the fact
that President Wilson has offered
no solution of the great problem
in fact has made no statement
further than asserting that 'the sit
uation is acute"
The food problem and the wage
controversy have been sidetracked
for a discussion of the league of
nations; a matter that most vitality
concerns us has been ignored until
the situation has become real men
ace to the nations peace. Who is
10 blame? 1t must be admitted that
the administration has not had a
finger on the domestic pulse, but has
been working overtime on interna-
tionalism; has let the ship OF state
drift along the lines of least resist
ance without a rudder
A mere raise of wages will not
solve the problem. Whenever wages
are raised the price of living is rails
ed and the bill passed along to the
public-the consumers. What will
the consumers do? They are not or
ganized like labor. How far can they
be driven without causing an up.
heaval that will shake this country
to its foundations? That appears to
be the experiment now being tried
by profiteers and organized labor
and the breaking point may not be
far distant.

and the fomentor of discomfort are
allowed to range at will.
There is no hardship in this de-
portation measure. 1t is clean-cut
and just. The man who does not
like our form of government should
leave the country. II he wishes to
enjoy the freedom and prosperity
which are the lot of the nation. ne
must subscribe to the laws which
alone have made our freedom and
prosperity possible.

The house has passed unanimous
Iy a stringent deportation bill.
Under it all undesirable aliens
now interned in this country may be

dangerous, those convicted of crimes
and those convicted of violation Of
wartime laws.
This measure should meet with
public approval. 1t had been feared
in many quarters that the end of the
conflict might see dangerous re-
taxation OF vigilance upon the part
of the legislators and the public au-
thorities.

Most Common Cause.
OF all the causes of overheating I'M
doubtedly carbon deposits in the cyl
inders is the most prevalent. As a
matter of fact, carbon deposits cause
overheating simply because they cause
the explosions to come at the wrong
time, whereby too much cylinder wall
is exposed with the results that /
mentioned above. When the engine
overheats. knocks and backfires, with
an obvious loss of power, it Is safe
bet that there is lot of carbon in
the cylinders. The cure, of course,
is to have the carbon scraped or other
wise cleaned out at frequent inter-
walls.

MOULD ELIMINATE
LEAGUE FROM THE

PRESIDENT WILSON WILLNOT RE.
CEDE FROM HIS STAND TO RAT
IFY LEAGUE WITHOUT RESER.
VATIONS
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Aug. 14.-Action on
the peace treaty has been FASTENED
by the Senate foreign committee
with indications of determined fight
to be made on the floor to eliminate
the League of nations. Senators Bo-
rah and Johnson are to advocate re-
pudiation of the League by the Sen
ate. Senator Fall wants to strike
out all references to American parti-
cipation on various commissions OF
the League which would superintend
reconstruction in Europe.
While gratified that the Senate
committee has decided to speed up on
consideration of the treaty, President
Wilson has not receded from his orig
inal position against ratiEing The
League with reservations, as has been
agitated by certain Senators.
The Senate foreign committee has
decided to call three members OF the
American peace delegation who re-
signed because of a disagreement with
the conference.
