always build faster than ever before. The life of battleship is in the neghborhood of 20 years. At the end of that period it is obsolete and is dismantled Figuratively, to maintain the present efficiency of the American navy, a new ship must be built every year for each ship that becomes obsolete. If the size of the navy is to be increased, as would necessarily be the case in a race for armaments, a ship must be built every year for every ship that goes out of commission, and after that the navy would increase in size only as additional ships were built. If there were 400 ships in the American navy and the life of fleet Is 20 years, theoretically 20 ships will go out of commission annually and in 20 years the en- tire fleet would disappear. To maintain the present strength, then, 1t would be necessary to construct 20 new ships every l2 months. And if the size of the navy were to be doubled in 20 years, and 20 ships were placed out of com mission annually, 1t would be necessary to build 40 ships year. The process means an increasing stream of money flowing out of the pockets of taxpayers into the laps of battle ships. And even then, our navy would only be strong if other powerful nations built in the same ratio. If they built twice as fast as we did, our program, at the end of a few years, despite the sum spent, would result only m an impotcnt navy for. this country.
 And every time We built four battIrships W" could east aside the thoughts of two hard sur faced high l-ways across the United States that could have been built with the same money that went into the sea in the form of dread naughts.
 If the conference on arms i~ successful, we can have the highways, the canals. the schools and the reclamation projects. If 1t fails, we hav" no choice but the race for armamcntS; no choice but to build battlcship for every battlcship that is dismantIcd, and to built enough more in addition each wear to maintain the American navy as strong navy. We will be compelled to built faster than ever built before, and we will have no say as to how fast will build-that question will be de- cidcd by the rate at which Japan builds and England builds and the other nations of the earth build.

WHY WE HAVE TROUBLE

One of the prime reasons why America has 6.OOOOOO men unemployed, why a flnanclaI depression has swept tn" country, why pro duccrs are on the verge of bankruptcy amd why wages are on the decline was described bv Dr.. Nicholas Murray Butler, prominently mentioned as a Republican cndldat" for tn" presidency prior to the Chicago convention, in a speech following his recent return from Europe. He said:
 ''Tt is honorable for the American people to give their support both financial and mor- a to rebuild a broken world in which they are a chief factor It is also selfish for the Am crican people to give this support, hecaus" tn" widely prevailing economic disOrganlZatlon, the unemployment of hundreds of thousands of able bodied and willing mon and women, the nationwide industrial depression and the severe financial problems which confront Us day hv day can be satisfactorily dealt with with only bv speedily restoring the producing, and therefore the consuming, power of the European millions"
 Europe needs American food and American materials more than eyer before. Devastated u,uit ,ics must be rebuilt Bnt Europe cannot buy eur produce. hccau~" t,uro! can nations have no credit, America will extend them mo further credit in their unstabIizod state, and it is America alone that can speed the return to normal European conditions. Therefore, our absurd doctrine of hands off not only re tards producing in Europe but consumption HS we'll. And if is the failure of Europe to con sumc our products, more than any other one thing that has brought about acute economic and financial conditions in this country.
 Dr. Butler continues:
 ''Hc who says that all this is no concern of ours, and that we must not become involved in the problems of other nations and other con tincntS is both blind to tn" most obvious facts of economic life and deaf to the plaincst teach ings of American histOry'
 The doctrine of an isolated America was onunciacd in this country for the more pur- pose of a political campaign.
 The campaign is over. The presidency and congress have been captured. It is time now to drop the humbua and fiction. face the situa- tion as i is, and permit America to take her r"htful place among the nations and bend her cncr@y to the immediate stabiIzation of Am lea and the world.

FOCH GREETS HIS "BUDDIES"

Marshal Ferdinand Foch is one of the most distinguished attendants at the American Lc- zion convention. now in session at Kansas City,, and inc brought with him from France greet meo from his government to American World war veterans as we'll his personal and of 'iciaI greetings to his 'huddjrs' who fought such gallant battle against the Trutons.
 Marshal toch might we'll be called the fight ing professor One oI the foremost lecturers on military subjects in Europe, he won hon ors on the early battIcfrIds of the World war and in its last year, as the supreme commander of an allied force of lO,0OO,OO0 men, successful Iy practiscd the strategy he had preached so many years in the French War College
 The morning of November II, 1918, found him, marshal of France, sitting in his pri- vate gar behind the lines, smoking his pipe and waiting, in the unnatural calm that fol lowed the hushing of the big guns the com ing of the German cnvoys to ask for peace at the Allies price. The professors theories of strategy and moral force in warfare had been vndicated.

They were both born in the south of France Foch work eel for the rest of his life with the shame and IulllIllalOn Ol thal dcbdclc m Ills mnd. He studied the battcficIds of tbat war until he knew them as we'll as his own backyard He studied the German war machine, the l,Sy- choIogy of its leaders. the reasons for their mistakes and their succcsscs
 Later, as professor in the War College. he wrote text books on the conduct of war and tn" principles of war. He worked with cn- thuSasm and patriotic fervor to mdoctlinatc the young French officers with the principle of the offensive at all costs. Battles are won morally, as well as materially, he said, and he stressed the moral element in modern warfarc
 As general commanding a force of 12O,- OOO men, Foch fond himself opposed bv a German army of 100000 men at the first battle of the Marine in 1914. As the battle progress ed, aides rushed in to warn him both his wings were being pushed back. "We must attack in the center" said Foch. ''Ordcr up the Moroccans."
 The German center, composed of Pfussian guards, the flower of their army, gave way under this unexpected onslaught and later 'irpIane observation brought news to Foch of a gap In the German line. He pushed in wedge of infantry, supported by heavy artl- Iery, and dawn found the GeI1pans in a pan lc and retreat

'Murderers' Keeps Audience
Guessing Till Last Moment.

a characteristic comedy vehicle for this
single performance, was unable to ap-
pear She had attended several re-
hearsals following an operation. against
the advice of her physicians. it was said.
and had caught a cold, which, while not
serious, had prevented her from playing.
Her place was taken by Louis Mann,
vice-presdent OF the Fidelity. in an
amusing monologue. One of the out
standing performances Of the evening
was that of Miss Alma Tel and Mckay
Morris in THE Minuette," a charming
costume playlet In blank verse by Louis
n. Parker. laid in the same fetching pc
riod as this authors "Pomander Walk"
A very striking feature was Lord Dun
sany's THE Murderers," in which Curtis
Cooksey and Charles Boyd held the spec
tators spellbound with their playing OF
this cryptic tragedy. The playlet kept
the beholder guessing as to which of
three men in an English public house
was the real murderer in question until
the last moment, when one confesses and
the others slay him. Despite it's seeming
gruesome nature 1t was carried along on
such high plane that 1t never savored
of the morbid.

received appreciatively were Miss Ina

tions with bits from THE Quaker Girl"
