THE AMERICAN NAVY.

! If we were to take as gospel truth s all that is being said by one man or another aSS.. ::E: Al. A-s''""" .'''' we would be forced to conclude that ssthe navy is pretty bad. The chances are that we would be entirely wrong, All the facts--statements that we s know to be facts--indicate that the record during the war was very fine. The navy transported a great majority of our troops. The navy patrolled the North Sea area
 and protected the Atlantic coast of the United States. After the armis- 2 tice, the navy swept the mine-infest- ed seas around England and did it Fin a creditable way. All of this was accomplished with minimum of casualties. If the navy was "float- ] ing death trap" it performed un- usual feats for death trap. If it .ssponsored system of immortality, 1t 2 nevertheless managed to maintain a high standard of physical fitness , among its men.
 8 The navy right now merely hap pens to be the ground for another
 political battle. When the smoke has cleared away, as Secretary Dan iels says things will look different. They might not look exactly like Daniels says they will, but they cer- , tainlv won't be as bad as the critics ' of Daniels paint them.

Railroad Problem
 is Not Solved by
 Blockade Removal

London, Jan. 20.-Skepticism Tn operation of the railroads in follow ing trade between the allies and soviet Russia is expressed by Maxim Litvinoff, bolshevik delegate at Copenhagen, in the course of an ln- terview given the Herald correspond- ent at the Danish capital. The bol- shevik representative who is Tn Copenhagen negotiating with James O'Grady, British delegate, for the exchange of prisoners, IS cautlous Tn giving his views on the situation, the correspondent says.
 The allied decision is as yet "only paper declaration and yet to be translated into deeds" in M. Litvin' offs opinion and reservations con- tained in the official announcement are looked upon as intended to rus trate the effectual working out of the plan. M. Litvinoff believes that in limiting trade with Russia to the activities of cooperative societies there will be an attempt to force soviet Russia to make certain changes in it's economic system.
 "The whole export and import trade of Russia has been national lZeu, M. LiLNliioll 10 qe'oeS' '" claring, "and must be transacted through the commi ssary for trade and industry of it's agencies. The soviet government may or may not find it convenient business with the cooperative societies, which are now working in full harmony with other soviet institutions, but which would resent having their actions subject to dictaton from without or having monopoly bestowed on a certain group.
 "Trade cannot be satisfactorily conducted between countries unless they are fully and mutually repre- sented and have free postal and tele- graphic intercourse. If the Paris decision does not imply such inter- course, it may be of little use to Russia or the world. Moreover, the most important routes to Central Eu- rope and former Russian seaports are now controlled by the newly formed border states and if the allies continue their present military policy of compelling these states to re- main hostile to soviet Russia, they will still be virtually blockading Russia"
 M. Litvinoff declared that he be- lieved the ports of the Black Sea would probably be obstructed for some time by "piratical bandits and counter revolutionists."

A RAIN OF TERROR

Prof. Robert H. Goddard's inven- tion of reloading rocket with a velocity high enough to carry it be- yond the sphere of the earth 5 gravitational influence gives rise to some interesting speculations. Among them is the possibility of firing the projectile at the dark side of the new moon and watching the flare Of powder as it hits. Unless, of course, our craftsmanship were bad and the rocket took it into its head to go galivanting on an orbit of it's own, refusing to associate with the moon or any other planet.
 One could write messages on the rocket and send them up to the moon folk. A citizen of that orb, However, might be inclined to resent being struck on the head by such a missile, nor would his temper be improved when, on picking it up, he decipered some such insane query as Are you there?"
 But if he should decide to answer ], it by manufacturing a smiliar rocket and dropping it upon the earth, we, too, might receive unpleasant sur prises. Fancy being knocked down by a projectile of this kind to dis cover that the Man in the Moon sent compliments, and why were we such a spoony lot down here?
 Within few years we are going to have our troubles lodging heel taps and tea slops empty bottles and cigarette butts tossed carelessly from passing blimps and airplanes to say nothing of rockets from the moon. Why then, start something iike this?
 Our fears, of course, are probably unfounded. It is hardly possible that Luna is inhabited by anything bus lamar cs.
