OF NATURAL HlSIONY THE cornerstone of the home of | this wonderful collection in Man hattan Square, New York City, which contains some ten acres of floor space, was laid by President Grant in 1877.
 The purpose of this great "curiOs- ity shop is to procure actual spec linens upon which accurate knowl- edge of the animals, birds, minerals and other wonders of the world are based and exhibit them for the edlfica- ton of the public.
 A few of the displays which attract particular attention, the like of which probably does not exist elsewhere, are :: the largest known meteorite, brought from Greenland and weighing 36 tons i; an Indian dugout 641a feet long, made from single tree; section of a California tree, 16 feet in diameter and more than 1900 years old; life-size model of 70 foot whale, probably the largest animal that ever lived and whichs probably weighed 70 tons mounted specimens of more din erent kinds of birds than you imagine the world contains collection of i'm plements used by prehistoric man, representing a period of approximate ly 250,0O0 years; exhibits of fishes, including some so primitive as to be scaleless: an exhibit of snakes that gives you the creeps; an intensely interesting exhibit showing how dis ease Is transmitted by insects, and a library of some 70,OO0 volumes on natural history, travel and anthropol.

should be arranged for March "A turnout OF Government

thusiasm by numerous writers to- this paper
EDWARD p. McCABE states that he is confident the
Irish organizations of the District would turn out en- masse
if given the opportunity and says, LET'S COT
CHARLOTTE ROSS, War Risk employe, says that
all the girls she knows enthusiastic for the dea hoping
that something will be done to enlven Inauguration day
She adds that the Government doitory girls would do
everything they could to make such parade success
TRUMAN WALKER and NJ H. WEIGH are among
others who endorse the original suggestion
One writer takes the unchartabe view that the propo
sition is scheme to make sure of holiday March 4.
There is doubt that parade of Government en-

way during the war and as center
of loyalty.
But it agrees with Secretary
Baker and General Pershing that the
Capital of the Nation is the fitting
site for a national commemorative
service and shrine.
Either tomb in the rotunda of
the National Capit6l or mausoleum
in the National Cemetery at Airing
ton would serve best to stamp the
occasion with its due national char
acter.
d. Nothing in that plan of procedure
would detract from the propriety of
each lesser community - State,
county or city-establishing a me-
mortal of its own in the form and
upon the site that it prefers.
But the Government of the United
States, though pleading poverty
against granting equalization of pay
to the survivors who carried it's flag
to victory in war, cannot offer that
plea against a symbolic honoring of
it's gallant dead.
1t should act quickly. Already
two nations, its associates in the
World War, have led the way-a
priority of which Americans cannot
be proud.

Honor Our
Gallant Dead

Several cities are putting forth claims
for the honor of becoming the resting
piece for the body of an unknown
soldier, symbolizing the unknown
American dead buried on the battle
fields of France.
II is refreshing to find in one city a
newspaper which places national senti-
ment above local pride. The following
editorial is from the New York Ameri-
can Of today: =
IRE it dies this Congress should
somewhat atone for its neglect
. of our surviving veterans by
passing the Fish resolution for the
burial with military honors of an
unknown soldier.
This proposal to symbolic the
nation s. appreciation of heroic
sacrifice is approved by all. The
oDly discussion pertains to the site
III the shrine.
A number of cities and States
(New York, as usual, foremost) have
solicited the honor of providing the
sepulchre.

~ ECENT experience has confirmed
the teaching of history that sea
power in the form of an ef-
'fective navy is the price Of national
safety.
Sea power enabled Great Britain
to escape starvation under the
menace of German submarines.
Sea power permitted the United
States to convey 100000 men and
an immense quantity of food, mu-
nitions and supplies across 1900
miles of ocean in time to defeat the
powerful enemy on land.
No nation has maintained great
sea-bor1ie commerce without effec-
tive naval support, The decline of
sea power has always been followed
by a. decline in merchant shipping.
1t is for this reason that Amer
cans who wish to see their country
safe and prosperous advocate a
powerful navy. Our navy is the first
line in the national defense. If it
holds, there will be time in which
to assemble and develop the land
defensesi
Just now those who want little
navy are making an oblique attack
upon naval development. They do
not openly declare for an abandon
ment of sea power. They, instead.
contend that money invested in capi-
tai ships-highly armored battle
ships and battle cruisers-may be
money wasted, because future scien-
tifc invention may provide superior
and cheaper methods of armament.
In particular, they assert, not the
fact but the possibility, that a form
of aircraft will come into use COM
-petent to destroy great battleships
by means Of torpedoes dropped from
above.
If every proved mechanical re-
source of modern civilization had
been suspended to await the coming
of revolutionary improvements, man
kind would long ago have been left
stranded.
The obviously sensible course is
to use such devices as these are, to
the best of their availability, until
better ones are demonstrated. Then,
but not until then, is the time to
make substitutions.
The modern battleship and battle
cruiser are costly instruments of ma
tional protection because they rep
'resent progressive improvements in
design. Each new one opens the way
ito a better one to follow. But that
lis the rule in all mechanical devices.
There is nowhere an absolute best.
In all things, we learn as we proceed.
So in building navy we have to
decide whether we want weak one
or strong one, and if the decision
is for a strong one-and that we be-
lieve is the decision Of a large ma
jority of sensible Americans-we
have to trust to the ruling opinion
of our trained experts in the

preparation and supervision of the
designs.
The best assurance that heavily
armored battleships and battle
cruisers, speedy and powerful "ships
of the hne," have not been rendered
obsolete, is found in the fact that
naval experts in all countries with
major naval ambitions are urging
additional construction of them.
In point of tonnage and gunfre
represented, .the battle of Jutland
stands as the greatest naval combat
in history. Both participants in it
are ON record in behalf of capital
ships.
The first lord of the British
admiralty sajd in Parliament on
March II last:
"We have been Told in some quarters
that the day Of the big bdttIeship is
oper. That is not the piew of my napal
advisers, and it Is not the piew, so far
as can find out, Of any other grea.
naval country. There Is no country
which desires to have strong navy
which is not today actually laying down
big ships and the theory that the day
of.the big ship is over is one for which
there Is really not one shadow of foun-
ddtion."
And Admiral Won Scheer, Ger
man commander at the battle of Jut-
land, in an official report to his gov
ernment, July 4, 1916, said:
"The battle has proved that in build
ing up our fleet and in the Development
of the individual types of our ships NE
have been guided by correct strategical
and tactical views, and that NE should,
therefore, continue on the same lines.
''AH arms have borne their share in
this result The decisipe factor mas,
however, both directly and indirectly
the loHg-JdHge heavy armament Of the
larger pessels. II caused the greater
part of the known losses inflicted on
the enemy, and it enabled the fl0tilLas
to carry out a successful attack against
the enemys main fleet.
"The large way vessel, battleship and
cruiser, is and remains, therefore, the
foundation of sea power, and should be
further developed by enlarging the
cafber of the guns, increasing the
speed, and peTecting the arEnor above
and below water"
In these judgments as to the value
? of capital ships in battle the naval
experts of the United States practi-
cally, without exception concur.
If, therefore, we wish to build
upon the lessons of experience as
interpreted by the best available
students, we shall proceed to
strengthen the line of our navy until
it is unsurpassed in tonnage and
gunfire by any navy afloat.
That does not mean that we
should neglect the auxiliary arms.
whether aerial or submarine.
If an airship is to. be invented
which will put the present battle
ships out of business, let American
ingenuity, heretofore a safe resource.
be encouraged to produce it.
Meanwhile, go on building the
best warships that science knows,
not for aggression, but for defense.
