BOON FOR THE COAST.

The coming of the Pacific feet is
hailed with pleasure throughout the
coast as the harbinger of many
changes, economic and otherwise,
The decision of the United States
navy department TO maintain two
equal fleets means that approximate
" 200 vessels of all sizes will COM
pose the Pacific feet, with a per-
sonnet Of $4,000 men.
While no accurate figures are OBJ
tainable, it is pointed out that the
money spent at Pacific ports for the
maintenance of these ships and men
will amount 10 millions a week, and
the resultant return to the various
industries which will contribute to
this maintenance will be no incon-
siderable sum. Scarcely any kind
of a selling concern will be over
looked, from the coal yard to the
fruiter.
Further than this, thousands Of
sailors will be on liberty practically
at all times while the ships are in
port, and this means that the small
shop-keepers will participate in thou
sands of dollars spent in necessi-
ties, as well as in the many little
Iuxuries that are the delight of the
sailor.
Aside from the personnel of the
navy, many of the families of both
officers and men undoubtedly will
move to the Pacific coast, so as to
be near their sons, husbands, and
fathers, and this means the add
ton of many more persons who will
have to be catered to.

BELGIAN coLoRs.

Belgian patriotic societies are
forming TO take action to prevent
the German republic from adopting
the Belgian national colors-black,
yellow. and red-for its flag. In
tense indignation is manifested, and
this is a bit heightened by the
plea that the colors in the new
German emblem will be disposed
horizontally instead of vertically.
1t is generally supposed that the
Belgian colors of today were chosen
by the patriots of 1880. but the
revolutionists of that year merely
took for themselves the black, yell
low, and red which had been leg
endary in Flanders and the Brabant
since the Middle Ages.
The princes of Flanders bore on
their arms black lion on a field
of gold, and those of Brabant a
golden lion on a field Of black. The
trappings of both were red. From
the thirteenth century, therefore.
the Belgian colors have been black,
yellow, and red.
An argument against the use OF
the colors by the Germans is that
the Belgians have actually employed
the black, yellow, and red hori-
zontally in their emblems-notabl bly,
in their mercantile fags-so they
consider they still have a priority
on that disposition of the colors
as well as the vertical use The
horizontal bars were adopted by the
patriots who overthrow the Austri-
ans in 1889. In 1880, the first flag
to fly from the Hotel de Vile in
Brussels was the horizontal-barred
black, yellow, and red.
The Belgians scorn the plea of
the Germans that they have the
right to use the colors because of
their use by the ancient Germanic

IDEALS AND COMPROMISE.

Like other people, politicians are
liable to see things, not as they
are, but as the politicians would
like them to be. 1t is impossible 70
convince a majority of the senate
that the public is overwhelmingly"
this is the customary word-op-
posed to the League of Nations
plas 1t is equally hard TO make
the President believe that a vast
majority" of the people does not
demand the adoption of his project.
The truth, remarks the editor of
Golfers, probably is that both sides
have overestimated the intensity Of
public feeling. If we can judge
anything from surface signs, de-
gree of apathy exists that is not
suspected at Washington or Paris.
Those who are in favor of a league
are not as much in favor of it as
the President thinks they are; those
who are opposed to it are not en-
thusiastic enough to fight for their
opinion No bugle notes are heard
on either side. The tedium and
tawdriness of the proceedings at
Paris have made the world yawn.
All the heroics have been taken out
of the scene by the constant pos
ing, the false pretense of "open
covenants openly arrived at" the
display of national selfshness. the
land-grabbing in China, the quarrel
over Fiume.
Most people believe in evolution,
but hope for miracles. They do
business with legal tender, but Sc
cretly wish for fiat money. They
are bored by the thankleSs task Of
making over humanity But those
who saw through the war before
they began TO see it through are
not put out They know how much
has been accomplished and how
much remains to be done. The
gesture of Versailles may be noble
or petty, but it is bound to be in
effectual when seen before the heavy
curtain of time. And the actors are
only playing in the prologue to an
unpublished play of which they
know no more than the opening
lines. The making or unmaking OF
real league of peace will be in
! the hands of the Americans of the
future. 1t will be their needs and
ideals and the intelligent interpreta-
ton of both that will determine
whether such a society can be per-
manent.

Manchester. England. Guardian)
 London-The loss of H. NJ S lamp shire, with Lord Kitchener and his staff on board. in June, 1916, has been one of the great mysteries of the war Questions have been asked in Parlia- ment and in the press, and a report was presented by the naval committee which investigated the disaster but un- til now no detailed account of it has yet been published. The following mar rative is now given by a warrant off cer who was saved from the wreck:
 H. M. $. Hampshire, four days after the Jutland Battle, in which she sank a light cruiser and a submarine, took Lord Kitchener aboard June ]. 1916, about o'clock in the afternoon. and set out with eight hundred passengers in the foulest weather known in that region.

LIFE INSURANCE IF SOLDIERS MAY NOW
 ALL BE CONVERTED
Republican A. p. Leased wIrel

WASHlNGTON. March 1S.-Secre- tary Glass today approved regulations governing conversion of sailors and soldiers war time insurance 10 stan dard forms Of government insurance. The policies will be ready for issu- ance soon and the work of issuing and maintaining the policies is expected to make the war risk bureau the largest life insurance agency in the world.
 A treasury announcement explains that the forms of policies which may be obtained at option, in exchange for var time insurance. are: Ordinary life, twenty payment life. thirty payment life, twenty year endowment, thirty year endowment, and endowment pay able at the age of 62.
 The premium rates for these con verted policies are lower than those charged by private insurance compa- nies,' said the announcement. In pre- vious announcements. it was said the rates would be 90 per cent lower.
 "rhe policies contain exceedingly lib eral privileges continued the an nouncement. providing for cash and loan values. paid up and extended in surance and further provide that the in sured would be paid for life d monthly income in the event that he becomes totally and permanently disabled. All Of these policies are incontestable from the date Of issue and are free from re- strictOn as to residence, travel or Oc- cupation. The holders of the policies will be eligible to share in and receive dividends from gains and savings. and the proceeds Of the policies are exempt from all taxation. Premiums on the new forms of government life insur ance are payable monthly. but may be paid annually, semi annually. or quar- terly. The monthly payment due the first of each month, may be paid at any time during the month"
 Secretary Glass expressed the opin- ion that the unusual values and lib- eral provisions" of the new forms ~should encourage all holders of war time term insurance to convert as rap idly as their financial circumstances will permit, and in any event to con tinue without fail the largest possible proportion of their present insur- ance."
 An opinion by Attorney General Pal mer that insurance might be paid to the estates of deceased personsh today removed the last obstacle to issuance of the new policies.

of hurry. All the lights went out at tha moment of the explosion. There was no attempt to launch boats. which could never have lived in the sea that was running. Life rafts. however. were launched.
 There was no sign of Lord Kitchener, and il is thought that he never got on deck. There was not five minute be- tween the explosion and the disappear ance of the ship. Vain attempts had been made to open all hatchways, and it is thought the crowd at the single one which was opened may have blocked many people from getting on deck.
 One rafts turned over and the one of | the other three rafts on which the war rant officer was riding. drifted before the gale for over five hours when by an extraordinary chance it passed through a rocky entrance and was beached on an island. By that time of the eighty on the raft many had been washed off, and of the rest all but four had died and had fallen into the net in the middle of the raft. {. | On reaching shore the warrant off, cer scrambled out, and found himself among the rocks.
 i He scrambled up them with great 1 difficulty. tearing off his nails. and with one other man got to the top about 4:S0 o'clock in the morning ! There he found a shed and spied a moving light. His companions went after it and found a farmer going about l in search of cattle. With the aid of some farmers, the four survivors, who had been taken to the house. were well looked after. In all there were twelve S11 rrn l r,~ =, third raft, blown ashore two or three miles from his landing place.
 No officers were saved, fact which prevented their doings in the Jutland Battle being reported and rewarded There was no time between that battle and the embarkation of Lord Kitchener for a proper report to be made.
 The warrant officer stoffed at the idea of Lord Kitchener being alive. He is quite sure that the Hampshire was not torpedoed, but struck mine.

BRITISH AV|ATORS
 TO TRY TRANS-SEA

LONDON. March fS-(By The As sociated Press) British aviators are totry for a flight across the Atlantic. A secretly butt alirplane, accompan- jed by Harry Hawker, as pilot, and Commander Mackenzie GrieV. royal navy. as navigator. was shipped from England yesterday for St. John s, Newfoundland. from which it will start at the earliest possible moment in an attempt to winthe Daily Mail prize of 10000 pounds for the first machine to fly across the Atlantic.
 The machine is Sopwith, two master biplane, with a horsepower engine.
 The fusilage is boat shaped and will support the machine in the water.
 Pilot Hawker said he believed that the flight would occupy about nine teen and one-half hours. The ma chine. he said, had flown 900 miles in nine hours and five minutes or one third of it's petrol capacity. and is
