COST OF UNPREPAREDNESS.
A Canadian officer, writing from the
front to a friend in St. Cathenine, says:
"All this misery and waste could have
oeen averted if we could have thrown
a million men into France and Belgium
at the commencement of the war, be
cause Germany would not have taken
the risk, but anyone who advocated
national training in England or Can
ada was looked on aa a scaremongei
and a fool.” May the United States
avoid having to reproach itself a yeat
or two hence with the thought that
similar misery and wuste might have
been avoided by it if it had made ade
quate defensive preparation.—Buffalo
Express.
OF BAD DESIGN.
(Boston Record.)
Why the F-4 sank may be past find
ing out from any evidence which her
rusted hull can now show, after the
long delay in dragging her from the
bottom of the sea. But that the acci
dent was not particularly surprising to
experts Is sufficiently stated in the re
port already made public. The Judg
ment thus far Is that she suffered from
defects of her type; that she may have
been as safe as possible "within limit
ations of design.” Evidently her de
sign was very bad. We have heard
much in recent weeks of the bed de
sign of the Eastland, and there has been
various talk as to responsibility for that
tragedy. We judge that these men in
the F-4 were sent into an extra hazard
because their boat was structurally un
safe and of bad design. The perils of
submarine navigation are extreme at
best. Utailizing boats which cannot
be made even reasonably safe seem?
to us poor business for the navy—it is
an unwarranted risk to the crew and
officers, and it promises little efficiency
In the event of war.
WAR MU8T BE FOUGHT OUT.
(Boston Evening Record.')
Dr. Morton’s Prince's opinion, given
as he sails today from England on the
Lapland is that unless Hohenzollern
ism is crushed the war must be fought
all over again. In his recent book on
the psychology of the kaiser. Dr. Prince
pointed to the social democracy of Ger
many as the hope of human freedom
in Europe through destruction of Hoh
enzollernism, and as the only gateway
through which lasting peace is likely tc
be achieved in the old world.
A Constantinople bridge has been
blown up by the submarine, according
to a report. Shades of Horatius!
SOCIALISTS A POWER
(Boston Evening Record.)
German's socialists and social dem
ocrats are beginning to be heard with
renewed vigor. As they represent—or
represented at the outbreak of the war
about 35 per cent of the voting power
of the nation, their voice is potentially
important. It was their voiec which a
few years ago demanded a parliament
responsible to the parliament—a pro
gram which would wipe out the divine
right pretensions of the Hohenzollerns
(who received their initial reigning au
thority through foreclosure of a mort
gage), and smash the kaisers' power
and his family’s for all time. No won
der that he hates and fears them—and
no wonder they feel Increasingly irritat
ed under oppression of a war in which
they pay the price.
THINGS THE WAR DOES NOT HIT
(Toledo Blade.)
War or no war, folks must have their
little luxuries. While the munition
makers have scored a fortune, business
men in general have been wont to talk
of dullness. But here are two sources
of trade that look good for all time.
The United States is industriously
sending chewing gum to the Philip
pines and electric fans to India. AiuJ
the call Is for more gum and more fans
Long live the luxurious folk of the
.Orient. Between the ever-faithful
; thermometer of Bombay and the friv
olous Jaws of Manila and Luzon we pre
dict prosperity a-plenty.

very great things. Set apart as the ,
supreme artist she is more than that
She personifies a human indorninabllity

Bernhardt has just made her first pub- ,

WAR COSTS MONEY.
(Chitmu Deader.>
For onec in his career, anyway, Sec
retary Daniels, of the navy, did a bright
ihir.g when he called on Kdison and
other inventors to assist in evolving
murder-machines for the army and
navy, hut it's going to cost us a pile
of money. Orville Wright, for exam
ple. save the war department ought tc
have about 1,300 flying machines right
off and flying machines cost about $5

eagles if we are going into the military
business as most of our neighbors are

merebag o’ cartridge shells In these
vituperative times.
