SEA ROADS TO PEACE
Miltarism Succumbs to Power of Great Naves
Defending Liberty.

Philip Gibbs, when he suddenly ex-
claimed:
"A new race has arisen. These land
giants will conquer the world"
The land giants drew very near 20
that prodigious achievement, put sea
power, at last deploying its full strengtn'
cut their primary bases from beneath
their feet. and they sank back into mill
tary impotence. And this sea power,
true to the position Of 100 years preV-
ously, was power of political progress,
of civilianism, as contrasted with mill
tarism; of individual dignity, as con-
trasted with collective tyranny: OF lib
erty as liberty is understood wherever
men pursue the ideals of democracy.
Recall the terrible words Of the ia
nous German general Ludendorff:
my soldiers still were fighting in
March, 1918, but they were half
demobilized by the pangs of hunger. AS
they drove the British and the French
back in different sectors on the West
front, they halted in the pursuit to fall
like wolves upon the stores of food left
by the retreating armies. They dealt
with the machine gun nest of the
enemy feebly. Why? Because they
continually were running hither and
thither in search of food"
Allied Blockade Victorious.
Sea power! 1t took the worlds pro-
ductive energies away from the autoc-
racieS. It shut them off from the
money markets and from the farms and
mines and forests of the world. It re-
duced not only their armies, but their
civilian populations, to hunger. 1t shat
tered their only possible foundations of
victory. 1t was history's resistless arm
interposed between the advancing hosts
of freedom and those who sought to
stay the march on ground which would
have been agreeable to Napoleon or to
his ultrareactionist successors Of the
holy alliance
Incontestably, be the reason what it
may, the sea and human liberty seem
inseparable. Perhaps about the wild
movement of salt water there is some
thing which breeds in peoples an I'M
conquerable will to be free. Rosebery
once said that nobody could study as
tronomy and be narrow-minded. Pos
sibly those nations which are children
of the tides naturally have the power
and feel the duty to resist the sitting
hand of despotism.
Another consideration-it is peculiar
to liberty to love peace, lacking which
there is no liberty. AS we have looked
to the sea for liberty, so, have no
doubt, we must look to it for peace.
Imperishable in memory would be the
forthcoming London naval conference If
it solved the problem of making sea
strength and peace strength Synony-
nous terms in world affairs.

from the figures of the corresponding
days last year, it was reported in New

ever, that nothing had developed to dis
turb the belief that sales for the month

period last year by more than fair
margin.
Winfield r. Sheehan, vice president
Of the Fox Film Corporation and Fox

The number of buyers in the market
during the past week showed a gain
over the number listed for the preced-

for the corresponding week year ago,
according to the New York Times lists.
The total last week was 730. against
7l3 the preceding week and 819 for the
same period last year.
Resident buyers report that some
what cooler weather has brought no
