NAVY SCANDALS BREWING

A large number Of naval officers, some of high rank,
are now under arrest pending investigation of scandals in
which they are alleged to have been implicated. 1t is the
old familiar ghost of graft that again stalks about imme-
diately after the moment of triumph, and from every point
Of view the affair is very regrettablc.
Most of the cases concern successful attempts to OBJ
tain easy berths" for certain young men who had more
money than brains and courage, and it is alleged that the
number of officers who have been susceptible to the influ-
ence of such individuals is amazingly large. It is also al
legged that one ieutenant-comnander who is reported to
have committed more fragrant abuses than any of his
fellow officers, still is at liberty and that apparently no
intention exists to bring him into the net of the investi.
gators; the implication is that some one still higher up is
throwing a protective screen Of influence around the lieu.
tenant-commander. 9
All this is disgusting, for. in a certain way it will be
interpreted as a reflection on the general personnel of the
navy Those who stop to think will know Immediately
that it is no such reflection, but a vast majority of people
Judge more readily by appearance than by facts. If any
guilt exists, the officers concerned will, of course, be pun
ished. and acquittal will follow proven Innocence. But
even at best the prestige Of the navy will suffer, for the
rery shadow of suspicion is unpleasant to behold.
Considering the material which has been gathered
at this time through the preliminary Investigations, one
comes involuatarny to the conclusion that whatever some
misguided Individuals may be guilty OF, the spirit and the
morale Of the American navy need no vindication: the
heart Of the navy is sound to t1e core, and in this con.
seriousness should lie the encouragement of those thou.
sands of young men who have served their country hon.
estly and valiantly aboard the vessels or in the training
camps Of the navy. No one will be more indignant at the
accusation or guilt of naval officers than the men who
make up the rank and file, for 9s9 out of every 1000 mer
in the navy know that their wonderful organization can.
not be disrupted even though one man among the thou.
sand takes a wrong step. or is accused of taking one.

no success can be expected because the neutral observer
belongs to an, extinct species Of humanity.
It would thus seem that the only way in which pos
terity can learn the truth about the war is by gathering
diligently and painstakingly all the necessary data in some
central place and leave the material for digestion and
comments to a future race Of historians whose viewpoints
are not hampered by the necessarily narrower vision OF
those who partook in or witnessed the catastrophe.

FRICTION BETWEEN
MEXICO AND BRITAIN
Carranza Orders English Diplomat
Out of Country Amounts to
Deportation

Washington, Aug. 16.-More Eric
ton between Great Britain and
Mexico appeared to complicate the
Mexican situation
Britain's last remaining diploma
tic representative in the Mexican
Capitol, Williams Cummings, in
charge of the Archives of the lega-
ton there has been ordered from
the country by mandate of Carranza.
The action amounts to the British
representatives practical deporta-
ton.
Great Britain, never having recog-
nized the Carranza regime, has had
no minister in Mexico City since
Sir Lionel Craden. The charge DAT
faires, Thomas Hohier, was with
drawn some time ago and Cummings
was left as charge d'archies, in
charge of the legation records and
acting as medium of communica-
ton for his government although
without official authority.
In a strict sense Cummings has no
diplomatic standing although he has
delivered communications from the
British Government protesting
against mistreatment of British sub
jects and interests.
Now, wholly without representa-
ton in Mexico City, England prob
ably will rely on France or the
United States to represent her. .
At the same time dispatches tell
ing of Carranga's decision to inform
the Mexican Congress at its open
ing September l, fully as to the
State of the relations with the gov,
ernments of the United States ano
England" were received here ano

You bade US all farewell,
You went away with Jesus,
No more on earth to dwell.
We long for you by day
We dream of you by night,
And your dear kind face will ever be
In our memory bright.
And how we miss you now, words
cannot express,
But God, our Father, has taken
you
To lifes eternal rest.
{, Your willing hands shall work no
! more,
; Earth has still vacant place,
, Without the smiles of your sweet
face.
Sleep on, dear father, and take
your rest,
