of PeLletan's regime is an increased
tendency to lessen the combatant
corps, to lower It's prestige, TO belittle
it ia the minds Of the enlisted men and
the public. But it was net enough to
debase the combatant corps. 1t seems
that it was in addition necessary to
make it the object of suspicion, to take
away from the enlisted men their con-
fidence in it. To take away their con-
fdence--did this not mean To ruin the
powers of the navy?
"The name Of democracy has been
invoked to explain this merciless war

nine months since September, 1920,
when the guaranty period expired,
the roads have been earning 2.41 per

From The Rooksrscnl

NOW that the air is spice and heat,
Now there are portIy moons,
Oh, children, lift your chorus swee.
In the high, happy tunes!
Let all your hedgling voices sing
Like thrushes in the corn
In praise Of her, the Harvest thing
Since all good elves were born.
The cowslip and the cherry !
Are summers bread and wine.
But she's more kind and merry, i
But she's more salt and fine.
She's slender hands and pretty lips
And seafoam and rosemary.
Her ears are pointed at the tips
She stayed so long in Fairy.
Oh, Loves a fool" say all the wise,
Young man, keep cool, keep cocli~
But while such honors in her eyes

New York's Goodness

DR.. Francis A. Clark, the honored
head of the Society of Christian En-
deavor, has shown again that he
really believes in applied Christian
ity by not joining those who delight
in bearing false witness concerning
New York.
He finds that the great city, where
is gathered the largest human pop
ulation ever brought together, is no
Sodom and Gomorrah. He is more
interested in the sun than in it's dark
spots. He sees the better side as we'll
as the worse. He has some appre-
citation, which many have not, of the
mighty work carried on in the great
metropolis for human betterment
and is acquainted with the fact that
the average New Yorker lives life
which in it's industry and morality
answers the question of whether
great aggregates Of people can re-
tain their virtue.
To help bring in the kingdom here
and elsewhere New York gives more
per capita than any community the
sun shines on. 1t has more hospitals,
more relief agencies, more institu-
tons to lift up. DR.. Clark has found
out these things and deems it worth
while to tell his co-workers so that
they may avoid joining those who
have little respect for the Tenth
Commandment.

Water Noises
From POETRY

WHEN I am playing by myself.
And all the boys are lost arounds
Then I can hear the water go
1t makes q little talking sound.
Along the rocks below the tree,
I see it ripple up and wink;
And I can hear it saying on,
"And do you think? and do you
think ?''
A bug shoots by that snaps and ticks.
And bird flies up beside the tree
To go into the sky to sing.

Or else yellow cow comes down
To splash while and have a drink.
But when she goes still can hear
The water say. And DC you Thinks

French navy in 1898, during the Revo-
luton
Mahan tells US that French admirals
and captains were not permitted to
command" their fleets and ships The
French Navy Department did not rec
ognlze their competency nor their au-
thority in naval matters, in discipline
and IN the employment of the forces
afioat Officers of experience and dis
tinction were ignored, threatened and
deprived of their commands. The
Committee of Public Safety took
command of the feet. Enlisted men
and their committees practically took
command of the ships. The Navy De-
partment directed that the feet should
keep the sea until further orders
Deputations from the different ships
came to the admiral and demanded
that he return to Brest despite his
orders. This he firmly refused The
admiral thought he had twenty faith
full ships, but only seven showed a
readiness to sail. He called council
of war made up of one officer and
one seaman from each ship, to debate
the question of going back to Brest.
"This council decided to send depu-
ties to the national convention. A
member of the convention came to the
fleet. He found twelve ships out of
twenty in open mutiny AS the feet
needed repairs he ordered the admiral
to return to Brest.'
admiral Mahan's Comments
AS result of this Soviet system
naval officers of ability left the service.
Ignorance and incompetency ruled
When the feet carrying Napoleon s
army sailed for Egypt it went to sea
without spare spars and rigging, and
three of the thirteen ships were not
fit for sea-"
Commenting upon the absence Of
trained officers trusted to control the
feet, Mahan says: ships there were
and guns, men also to handle the one
and fight the other; but between these
and the government was needed an
adequate official staff, which no longer
existed
Under these conditions can we won
der that whenever the French feet met
the Turkish feet it went to crushing
defeat! 1t was case Of Daniels
soviet committee navy lined up for
battle against navy commanded by
admirals and captains who were trust
ed, respected and obeyed. in accord
ance with military principles and ira
ditions as old as the world There
could be but one result
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-07-10
By Quarterback

The Navy Department has acted
wisely and none too soon in smashing
the Daniels naval soviet system, under
which enlisted men were to discuss
with the commanding officer and sug-
gest to him disciplinary measures and
methods calculated to increase the eff
fciency of the naval service"
This scheme Is the elimination of
the craziness developed during the
eight years of naval frightfulness un-
der Josephus Daniels. He admits that
he is the father of this plan. 1t is his
childi He has nurtured it, He boldly
defends it. He thus supplies all the
evidence to prove how dangerous it
was to intrust the great navy of great
nation to the despotic and fanatic rule
of man who has never shown the
faintest glmmer of intelligence con-
cerning military principles and tradi-
lions.
Souiet Committee System
into operation slyly and cunningly, to
disarm suspicion. 1t was to be accom-
plished gradually. 1t was to grow
from babyhood to manhood. 1t was
the guise of a welfare" movement in
the navy, and hidden behind the So
called morale division" at the Navy
Department, this naval snake-in- the
grass was creeping into the feet, a
poisonous, damnable, undermining in
fiuence
The ultimate end of this soviet
system is discovered in the elaborate
plan published in Our Navy, an en-
listed mems journal. This plan pro-
vided for committees of enlisted men
to control the navy as follows:
l. A committee in each division on
board ship to sassist" the division
officer
3 A "ship committee to assist
and advise" the captain how to COM
mand his ship.
8. A division committee" for each
division of the feet to help the ad-
miral run his division.
f. A effect committee" to tell the
commander in chief how to command
the feet.
5. A Navy Department committee
to help the Secretary of the Navy
in the performance of his duty.
This committee was also to advise
the bureau chiefs and the naval com
mittees of Congress in making esti-
mates and appropriations for the naval
service.
This committee was to be attached
to the Office of the Secretary of the
Navy, to be taken care of, paid and
subsisted by official government funds
Thus the Daniels-Lenine-T rotzky-
soviet system, so we'll established and
so beautifully successful in Russia
was perfectly organized and prepared
to assume complete supervision of gu.
naval affairs ahoat and ashore Com
ment is unnecessary. Words are in
adequate. 1t is lifeiike portrait Of

Naval Degeneration

The writer declared that the French
navy was "succumbing to a double
anarchy"-from above and below; that
politics had broken into the navy
yards; that navy yard workmen, not
the officers and commandants, con-
trolled there.
Reviewing briefly the present situa-
ton, we find that the soviet committee
system ruined the French navy in 1895
We find that Pelletanism and Daniels
ism are the same. They are tarred
with the same brush They will ruin
any navy to-day-as they would, and
did, in 1895
Until Danielsism is torn out by the
roots our navy will be in danger in
! the future as it has been during the
last eight years. Drastic and search
Ing methods are demanded in eradicat-
ing a system which has crept into the
navy SO sneakingly, so insidiously and
so innocently disguised. Instead of
welfare" we have had naval degenera-
j ton. Instead of morale" We have had
naval Generalization. To smash DAN
| ieisism in all its forms is the first duty
| of the Navy Department to-day.

ANGERED AT COMMISSION

London, May 5.-Polish elements in
upper 'Silesea have forcibly taken pos
session Of wedge-shaped region the
base of which is the former German
Polish frontier and the apex of which
has reached Gross streahlitz, it is de-
clared in advices received here. Many
large cities are said to be in the hands
of the Poles, who have reached the
Oder river and are marching toward
the northwest in the direction Of
Oppeln.
Dispatches from Silesea assert the
Poles, angered by reports that the
inter-allied plebiscite commission had
recommended the awarding OF only
the region of Pless and Rybnik in
southeastern Silesea to Poland, have
declared their intention to seize the
whole region over the possession ,of
which bitter political struggle has
been waged and the future status of
which was to have been determined
by the plebiscite held recently.
