THE BUSINESS OF WAR.
The Economist of London publish
es some interesting facts in regard
to the political aid given by the Brit
ish government to British makers of
war material in securing fat con
tracts from foreign governments in
preparation for the hostilities which
the British government professes to
abhor and to wish to prevent. For
example, the Armstrong-Vickers
group has obtained from the Ottoman
ministry of marine a contract which
is thus described:
"The government 'nstructs Messrs.
Armstrong and Vickers to proceed
■with a radical reorganization of the
arsenals and dockyard at the Golden
Horn and with the establishment of
a naval base at Ismid, together with
the installation of a floating dock
capable of taking the largest units.
The capital necessary for this enter
prise will be obtained by means of
the flotation of an Ottoman company,
with a mixed Ottoman and English
board of administration, the English
directors being in a majority. The
company will be granted for a per
iod of thirty years the exclusive right
of carrying out ail naval repairs for
the Ottoman government, and will In
turn undertake to reorganize the
shipbuilding yards and workshops in
such a manner that • at the end of
twelve years the dockyards at the
Golden Horn and Ismid will be cap
able of building hulls and engines of
all types and all sizes."
The capital is provided Dy tne con
cessionaires, and they are secured by
a second mortgage of the tithes of
the Province of Sivas. The political
bearing of the matter is intimated
by Reuter, who says that "the Brit
ish proposals have won the day in
spite of strong opposition from the
foreign governments,” and, obviously,
with the support of the Britisii gov
ernment. "Turkey practically com
mits herself entirely into the hands
of Great Britain in the matter of na
val development.” Whether squan
dering money on ships .tad docks is
the best thing for a lond hopelessly
overtaxed, exhausted by war, indus
trially backwaid and feeble, and with
a people on the verge of poverty in
a country of immense undeveloped
resources is a question that seems
not to interest the Premier who on
the hustings deplores the "huge di
version all over the world of nation
al wealth into non-productive chan
nels.” Turkey is diverting, not na
tional wealth, but the daily bread of
its subjects, into enterprises, not
non-productive alone, but destruct
ive, and the Asquith ministry is egg
ing her on. It is not a pleasant
spectacle.—New York Times.
It is to Laugh.
“Yes, Leora, Queen Mary, clings to
the side saddle and riding habit of
the Georgian' period, and so does ev
ery other woman of true feminine
grace and modesty. She is a woman
ly woman as well as a queen.”—Daily
prospector.
iMy Dear Editor:
Forget it—for heaven’s sake; don’t
you realize as editor of an up-to-date
razmataz sheet that side saddles were
thrown into the discard long ago,
along with hoopskirts, muzzle loading
shotguns, bed cords, quill pens, tal
low dips and red flannel undershirts?
Don’t history tell us that the side
saddle was invented for an English
queen who was lame from some de
formity of the hip, and couldn’t ride
naturally, and therefore, inferentially,
Is not anyone who rides side , saddle
placing,.herself in the same class as
the Anglomaniacs who a few years
.ago wore their trousers turned up at
the bottom when it was raining in
dear old Lunnun y’.know? Serious
ly, now, setting, aside all airy persi
flage, isn't your assumption that any
woman of. grace and modesty would
only ride side saddle rather long
drawn, when you think, of the hun
dreds, by far in the majority of lady
r.iderB, who prefer the "cross sad
dle,” because it Is safer,- saner, mere
sensible, and - after all Is' said and
done, more decent than the side sad
dle monstrosity, which does not per
mi! a rider to sit on the horse at
ail, but merely parches her on the
horse’s back in a lopsided, apologet
ic-for-her-sex position. Kick yourself
out of it, old man, and give credit
to the live, up-to-date, flesh and
blood American girl, who really rides
her horse, and do not accuse her of
a lack of modesty or grace because
she refuses to ape those female
mollycoddles of the English court,
who must perforce imitate their
queen's unfortunate disability. Grace
and modesty to be found only on side
saddles—-ye gods! it is to laugh!
Excellent change tonight it the
