With the American dollar at its
present high rate of exchange
value, Europe is about the cheap
est part of the world in which an
American can spend vacation.
Railroad travel on the continent
averages about two cents mile
sometimes less than that. Taxi
fares range from IL cents to a
quarter, while extensive motor
rides into. the country seldom cost
more than a dollar. Living also is
much cheaper than it is at home.
This is not so apparent in the met
ropolitan hotels, which charge
New York prices. But in the
smaller English and French inns,
which are most desirable because
Of their quaint atmosphere, one
can secure comfortable accomino-
dations for about the equivalent

All ol tHe Eufopedi HdllOHS are
now putting forth great efforts to
attract the tourist trade. England,
especially, which has. been rather
indifferent toward visitors in the
past, is proving unusually cordial
this summer. Perhaps the recent
revival Of inn-keeping in the Brit
ish Isles, which has become a fav-
orite occupation among ex-soldiers
has something to do with this.
Even Germany is exhibiting great
hospitality toward Americans and
their dollars, in spite of the appal-
ling depreciation of the German
mark.

safer when sailing Independently"
Theirs is aome dispute as to
whether the signer Of this dispatch
was Secretary Daniels or Admiral
Benson. But II is clear that Mr..
Wilson'S reported pro-convoy ideas
were not at all familiar to the
author. Admiral Jellicoe wrote of
this dispatch: 1--WE were pressing
the United States to strengthen our
escorting forces so far as possible In
order to extend the convoy system,
when telegram arrived from Wash
ington to the effect that 1t was con-
sidered that ships which were armed
were safer when sailing singly than
in convoy"
The report Of the sub. committee
Of the Senate Committee on Naval
Affairs on the Daniels-Sims contro-
versy found that Admiral Sims had
first TO persuade the British Admi-
ralty to adopt the convoy system and
then to persuade the American Navy
Department to adopt it. This is what
the existing record shows. Mr.. Dan.
iels seems TO have countered on the
record by drawing out Of his hat a
happy afterthought amendment of it.

A Creator of Beauty

The tragic death of Lloyd War
rem brought to an end career Of
rare public service. Fortunately it
cannot end the enduring institu-
tions, making for the architectural
beauty Of America, which his labor
set up.
Twenty years ago architecture
was taught in this country prima-
rily as branch of engineering. At
the Institute Of Technology, for ex-
ample, student studied engineer
ing and the five orders of architec-
ture and was an architect. To-day
1t Is taught as ain art-with such
engineering as appertains to build
ing. 1t was the example of the
Beaux-Arts Of Paris that was fol-
lowed in this change, and it was
largely the lnsistent and irnagi-
native effort of Lloyd Warren that
brought 1t about.
The Reaux-Arts Institute and the
School Of Sculpture, Painting and
Interior Decoration, which Mr.. War
rem founded. have been continuous
influences for beauty in architec-
ture and for a broader vision Of all
its problems. That American archi-
lecture to-day ranks with the best
In the world is considerably due to
their force. Through their medium
the ablest architects Of the coun-
try, as generous volunteers, have
directly aided and developed the
rising generation Of architects.
Chance has been gwen to the
craftsman Of talent in any part
Of America to receive the criti-
cisin and training which he needed.
Such beauty as this labor of love
on the part Of Mr. Warren has
created is a precious gift to the peo-
pie of America and 1t deserves ap-
probation by the public as we'll as
by the men Of his profession and a
memorial bedrting its lasting
worth,

These words were written ID 1883,
when Roosevelt was only shrea years
out Of college. His study Of history
had already convinced him OF the
value Of preparedness, and he was
not sparing In his danunciasion of
the criminal folly pf Jefferson and
Madison In failing 70 keep the rla-
lions defenses up 10 full strength.
But not content with pointing out
a principie. he sought TO apply it TO
the nsvy rs he found it in 1882. To
him the whole matter was clear and
simple. The nation must have a
strong navy, and whatever it's sire
the navy must be efficient. Amy
thing short Of this was false ecpn-
omy and neglect Of the govern
merits dufy to the people. AT the
time he despatred of ever having
navy that is frst class in point Of
size" But he was not for this rea-
SON gny the less emphatic in point
ing out that ''the necessity for an
Efficient navy is SO evident that onty
our incredible shortsightedness pre-
vents our ut once preparing it."
From that day his interest in the
navy never ceased, and ne lost no
opportunity to pun into effect the les
sens which history had taught him.
As President he gave TO the navy his
special attention, for he realized thas
1t was the weapon which was to
maintain Americas strength in
warning world. This conviction he
never lost, and it is as sound to day
on the sixty-fourGh anniversary of
his birthday as it was In 1908 or
1882 or 1912. The navy is still our
first tine Of defense.
