It should be easy to build subways

One solution satisfactory to Itish
tnen to settle the tuiure of Ireland
■would be to let the lruh rule Ireland
and half rule England.
If the allies keep on buying horses
tn the United States Billy Howe will
have a hard job keeping his 3table
up to the high standard he has set.
No doubt Colonel Roosevelt wants
to get away to the quiet of the Sauth
Sea Islands so that no reverberations
of any of the recent Arniadg dsons
may reuch his ears. Some things are
not pleasant to hear.
The Eou.s.iue Courier-Journal
says this: "it is reported that the
Mexicans are prepur.ng to 3hell our
motor truck trail. They have spilled
our blood. Now, if they spill our
gasoline notli.ng can hold us back.
A wag remarks that It is a good
thing that Hughes and Roosevelt did
not go campaigning together for it
they had Hughes would have hud to
git accustomed to climbing into the
upper berth. He has had the wore,
end of it enough without that.
If we can win all our contentions
by diplomacy, so much the better.
President W ilson seems to have done
yery well indeed in his controversy
with Germany over her right to sink
merchant ships without warning. Or
was it Germany that did well?
The United States is now thorough
ly commuted to the policy of a very
much larger and more efficient navy.
Over half a billion dollars has been
appropriated for a three year period
of which over three hundred million
is to be spent the first year. The
program includes battleships, heavily
armored cruisers, fast cruisers, de
stroyers, coast and deep-sea subma
rines and auxiliary ships of several
types. The plan3 for most of these
vessels have been approved by the
navy general board and recent dis
patches show that contracts have been
let for the aonstruction of many of
these ships. Ship-ynrds on the At
iantic and Pacific have now begun
the work of making the United
States navy second only to that oi
Great Britain and so much stronge;
than thut of our nearest rival foi
second place that there will be m
question of our decided pre-domin
..nee. It is the plan to make the I
.uivy so much stronger than our:
rivals that none will care to test its'
strength.
Our navy la our first line of de
fense on two coast3 of great length,
ihere can scarcely be any question a.
.0 the wisdom of making this dc
.nce so strung that it will o« a real
insurance agulust attack from citho.
.uat or west. But s.rangly enougi
i took the lessons of the great war
sow in progress to convince our con
jicssm.n of our need for u strong,
.uvy and to inJicate the types o.
hips which should be built.
ihe war showed that treaties ar«
ut pieces of paper, good foi ordinal*
use but never lo be relied on in ai
emergency. Ability to fight by lan
or sea is any nation's best protectio
.his light having dawned on congress,
.he members next became convince*,
from the occurrences of ;the earlj
uonths of the war that hundreds of
submarines were all that America
needed to keep ar. enemy at bay.
Another c.iange oi ueart took place
; .fltr tl.e Dagger Bank engagemen.
hen it became apparent that battle
ruisers w* re evidently the best type
of fighting ship. The fight of the
alklands helped to foster this view.
Finally the general engagement off
*he Ju.land coast taught Us lessons to
our solons. In that battle four mag
nificent battle cruisers succumbed hko
. gg shells in the face of the fire from
a super-dreadnought. The larger
ship of the first l.ne then appeared as
the perfect type of sea-fighter.
The congressional mind though
convinced of the need of a navy was
ia considerable of a quandery ns to
what to make it of. Here is where
.he navy g. neral board with Us pro
f. ssional calmness, knowledge and
.nsight came to the assistance of the
political mind. The board told the
senate committee, which in Us mud
tiled state iisk d for advice, that ships
j uf all types needed, each to perform
[ .s appo.nted task. The senate caught
he idea and became so enthusiastic
hat U reported the house bill back
with heavy additions in the matter
1 of battleships, submarines, destroy
ers and especially increases in the
personnel of the navy, both officers
and men.
I The house caught t+ie Infection,
tacked on some more equipment,
passed the bill with its three year'
limit as to the entire program and
now the ships are actually in the
hands of the 3hip-building firms.
We need this navy and a still big
ger one and we need a larger army
uch can only result from universal
service. We need to rid ourselves of

MARK TWAIN AT PIER 70.
i-'rom a birthday banquet speech.
It is the Scriptural statute of 11ml
itiona. After that von owe no s'*

man to use Kipling's military phrase;
nu have served your tc*n, well 01

compulsions are not for you. nor any

lie time-worn duty bills If you
jhoose, or decline if you prefer—and
without pr judice—for they are not
egally collectible.
The previous engagement plea, which
in forty years has co3t you so many
twinges, you can lay aside forever;
on this 3ide of the grave you will
never need it again. If you shrink at
thought of night and yvimer, and the
late homecomings front the banquet
tbrpugh the deserted streets—a des

now, as for a generation It did. that
your friends are sleeping and you
mu3t creep in a tiptoe and not dls

you that you need not tiptoe, you ran

membrance, but I am 70: 70, and
