' Now the sentiment of the | nation has largely chnnnd and the next congress will be asked to strengthen the national defense. As the standing army ‘may never be made any larger, it is but fitting that our navy should be greatly augment- ed. With two oceans flanking our Wwonderful stretch of territory, two fleets should flourish where 6ne now exists. And this’is not in advocacy of a plan to bring about war with any nation on the globe. The American people are too enlightened to seek tragedy; but at the same time they would welcome the security . estab- lished by a navy capable of repuls- ing any foe menacing our land. There are forty-eight states in the present union. If put'to a vote, it is safe to say, the people of each of these states would readily acquiesce in a plan to build one superdreadnought like the Arizona in honor of every state. This galaxy of fighting craft could be distributed on the two coasts, leaving twenty-four staunch “guardiang of the peace” to insure national safety on each ocean. The navy in time of ‘war naturally would. be the greatest arm of defense in repulsing an invasion by, enemy ships. This arm of the service then should be made formidable. The Navy League wants $500,000,000 B HANDS OF JUSTICE. Governor Slaton of Georgia is to be commended by every open-minded man and woman in the United States for his ‘action in ‘commuting denh sentence of .Leo M. Frank to life imprisonment, ; Convicted of the murder of Mary Phagan, Frank was sentenced to' be ‘hanged tomorrow. The saving of his life at the eleventh hour brings a sigh of relief to mil- States. 3 Whether Frank is innocent or guil- ty, there has been such an element of doubt created as to justify Gov- ernor Slaton’s stand. Prompted by the highest motives, the executive of Georgla jeopardized his political fu- ture in saving Frank from an igno- minjous death o the gallows. The people of Georgia .demanded execu- tion. They objected to outside inter- ference. Were they right or wrong is not .to be judged. But things had come to such a:pass where the exe- cution ‘of an.innocént man migat have sullied the brightness of Geor- gia’'s escutcheon. Better then that justice be mistaken in saving a guil- ty man rather than destroying an in. nocent one. ¥ In a statement given out at his country home today, Governor Slaton asks the people of his state to read ‘nis reasons why he commuted the death sentence of Frank to life im- prisonment before they pass. judg- ment.. His statement will be made public'in the near future. But what- ever the judgment of the people of spent to build up a navy worthy of these great United 'States. At a quick glance these figures seem enormous. Proper thought of the matter, how- ever, reveals the fact that this sum spent today may mean the savlngs of even eight times the same amount in the' future. Statistics from the pres- ent Buropean war show fifteen times more men killed in the English army than were lost in the naval branch of the service. Land forces must ever stand the greater brunt of battle. If we are to protect our army, then we must needs haye a bigger navy. When this comes-about the American peo- ple need never fear a war. THE FLIGHT FROM REASON. " Just as President Wilson was on the verge of negotiating with 'General Carranza for the bringing about of a United Mexico, the latter gentleman saw fit to break ‘with his cabinet and is now a refugee in a fortress se- cured by the waters of Vera Cruz ‘harbor. Generals Obregon and Gon- zales having seen fit to withdraw ] thelr ‘aid" from 'their First Chief and lean to the side of the, dissenting ministers, it is likely Mexico will now be ‘graced by an added attraction in the way‘ of "ggvemn{eht.“ From the | face of things,. ‘governments” .. are set up in Mexico with -the same alac- rity attached to the opening of hotels in Neéw York. This latest change in the affairs of a republic.unable to hold for any length of time-to a given policy may be the means of President Wilson furthering his plan of having estab- lished in Mexico a government that will obtain pfompt recognition from the world powers. Cnrmnza was the one big obstacle in the way of such & propos He has repeatedly re- fused President ‘Wilson's suggestions. ! If his followers desert him to any ex- tent, he may be taken care of in easy fashion. On the other hand, should he maintain what prestige he former- ly exerted, it will be several weeks, at least, before this country can take any steps toward alleviation of its southern neighbor’'s -condition. At best it is a complicated and delicate 'situation. For the nonce, .General Gonzales has halted the march on Mexico City. According to his own assertion ‘ne will not resume activities until Car- ranza makes peace with his minis- ters. This may never be, and Gon- zales and Obregon may unite in a feorgia, Governor Slaton may rest Secure in the knowledge that the en- tire. nation is back' of him in this, his nour of trial. He saw the right; and in the face of : conditions that would have made many men flinch, he withdrew ‘from the clamor of the populace and ren- dered a decision as he saw fit, as his conscience dictated. No" more could be asked of ‘any man. If tae poli- ticians of other states would follow the example set down by Governor Slaton today, the people of the United States would feel more secure in their rights. ‘Whatever the verdict passed on Governor Slaton by his own people, the majority of justice lovers in other states Will vindicate him. The people of Georgia, too, will eventually come around to his way of thinking, if they fare not swerved by the passions of their baser natures, if they wait to view facts.in the cool, clear light of reason. Then they will not see Gov- ernor Slaton relegated to obgcurity ‘for the remainder of his days, but will hail him as the apostle of truth and justice, and re-elect him to an of- fice he has graced with honor and dignity, an office he has raised to a level higner than when he accepted it. MISUSE OF THE AMERICAN FLAG Commanders of British merchant- men are again up to their old tricks, —flying the American flag in the war zone: - This after ‘the American government has entered ‘strong pro- test to the Britich government re- garding such practice. A despatch from abroad temn‘ of the ruse adopted by a British ‘com- mander in successfully piloting his ship past German submarines by the use of our flag, goes further and says the commander of the ship was com- gratulated. by the government on his exploit. = Great Britain = should be brought to task for this action. There is not so much danger in all the ships of all neutral countries fly- ing the stars and stripes as there is in one ship of Great Britain doing the same thing. Not long ago, the Brit- ish admiralty secretly ordered ' the commanders of all merchantmen un- der the jurisdiction of, Great Britain to ram every submarine possible. In the event a British merchantman was flying the American flag at the time it rammed a German submariner, there would be danger of serious out- come over the incident. At best, it would give ‘Germany a good excuse government of their own, Zapata's alllance with Villa " is of extreme tenulty because of Obregon's army seylratlng the two. Thu situ- ation would lead Villa to carry out his plans single handed, with Zapata establishing a third “government.” Intimations from Washington are that President Wilson will await de- velopments in Mexico before taking any steps towards the solution of a problem that grows more complicated as time goes on. With the return to “Watchful Walting,” the ‘fon-com- batants of Mexico are brought nearer the brink of death, as starvation will soon be in order. Red Cross reports show horrible conditions ‘with pros- pects of a dearth of corn ‘dnd beans, the principle food of Mexican peons. President Wilson's task now is to find some man, or '‘group of.men” in Mexico to whom he can lend the/mo- ral support of this government. Re- dent and remote events have fully demonstrated that Mexico left to her- self will ‘ultimately bring about its own obliteration.~—Is there a redeem- er in her land, or are they all de- | strovers? 4 to ignore all the terms of President ‘Wilson’s last. note. ‘to Great Britain would seem to be in order at this time. : General Obregon, aside from being at odds with Caranza over the resig- nation of the cabinet officers, de- mands the dismissal of the minister of public instrudtion. Questiof:— “Who in Mexico does the M. of P. 1.7 instruct?” From all accounts he must have taken the course in civil gov- ernment out of tae high schools. “While Secretary of State Mr. Bry- an opposed the nomination of Eduar- do Iturbide as provisional president of Mexico,” says the Providence Jour- nal, “because he believed if Iturbide became president he would be shot and he was too fond of him to help | bring that about.”—Mr. Bryan prob- ably has a lot of names : he. could suggest for the job, : Bryan keeps on writing notes, but no one replies to him.

The Lusitania Inquiry, (New Haven Times-Leader.) The official inquiry concerning the sinking of the Lusitania has estab- lished .several facts exceedingly dam- aging to the Cunard Slelmshlp com- pany. Frist—The Lusitania didn’'t have coal enough to push through the dan- ger zone at a speed that would have | made it ‘{mpossible to torpedo her. Second—Some of her life boats leaked so badly that they were un- safe for-use and other life boats were piled up ahd tied down in such manner ‘that they were not available | when needed. Third-—The crew grabbed whatever life saving appliances were available ‘and made it their first business to try and save their own lives. Fourth—Comparatively few of the crew were expert sallors, such men as ought' to have been employed on such a boat at such a time. Several other very unpleasant rev- elations, all indicating shameful dis- regard of the lives of passengers have been made. It is an astonishing story of reck- lessness and inefficiency.’ .

(Bridgeport Telegram.) I A severe shortage of manual labor, due to European war conditions, is predicted for this country. It will be an excellent thing if it takes place. Manual labor, hurrying to Eu- rope to fight in the trenches, will re- turn to America seeking work in the trenches, but only to find its job gone. | Tt will be replaced in large part by | machinery.

Our dollar, which foreign natjons have always effected to despise, now enjoys the best réputation in its his- tory. The Buropeans covet it more than ever—and weil they may. For of all the money. in the world, there is none that has so much value per pennyweight as this same little old geold dollar. It is worth today more than' $1.02 ih English gold, $1.04 in | French gold, $1.15 in Italian gold and $1.16 in German gold. Russian exchange is still higher. If it were possible actually to exchange large quantities of American gold for its present market equivalent in Euro- pean coin, speculators might make big fortunes out of the process. But of course, actual exchange on such terms ig7a’ difficult matter. The Eu- | ropean gota“ simply isn’t - available. That very faét is ‘what' makes it the- oretically 6" cheap. The European powers refuse to pay in gold, either | delaying payment of their American | debts, or making payment by new locans of money or credit. The Ger- | man_ rate of exchange is a good”in- dex to the whole situation. It may seem odd that German money should | be quoted at so great a discount as | 16 per cent. when the German gov- | ernment has raised such vast domes- | tic loans without any difficulty, and | when, as everybody knows, ‘the Ger- | man treasury is crammed with gold. | The explanation is that -Germany is | boarding Her gold.

Marriages, Early and Late. (Bridgepért Standard.) Reports of June weddings are s numerous among the daily news item. that it might appear that all the world is.bént oh marrying: Statfstics show,-however, that the women of the United States are not emibracing op- porturiities to marry with anything like :the alacrity of formér gefiera- tions. 'Ffam the census: of 1910 it appears that 30.6 per cent; of mative- bérn white women betwéen the ages of 26 and 34 were unmarried, as Were 4lso 17.8 per ceént, of these be- tween the ages of 34 and 4.

In many countriéé marriage 1s still looked upon as woman’'s sole profession © and uncongenislity be- tween man and wife is copsidered of less consequence than what is.almost regarded as the disgrace to a wom- an of remaining unmarried. The American woman, with her - oppor- tunities for economic independence, does not choose to accept marrigge as a profession. In place of the mar- riage of convenience she gspires to a higher ideal of matrimopny. Hav- ing found indépendence outside the home, she is using her power to raise the standard of the home and make it a place where men and wo- men shall meet on an equality that will militate against misupderstand- ings that lead toward divorce.

The failure of the Russians to hold these positions has been a keen disappointment to the British who hoped that this strong and selected position might furnish another example of the regilency of Emperor. Nicholas’ forces, whish has been one of the marked features of the war.in the east. Nevert d it is questioned here that anything so vital. as the flight of the’ Russian army, as indicated by Vienna reports, or a perilous break in the Russian front has occurred. Some British experts are of the opinion: that the Russians- are fighting rear guard ac- tions while withdrawing their armies practically intact. May Not Defend Lemberg. They ‘suggest that either the Rus- slans have no intention of defendtng Lemberg to the last, or have prepared their main defensive lines on posi- tions not yet reached by the Germanic forces. With less than a score of miles separating the Austro-German lines from Lemberg, these . points must soon be elucidated. It is pointed out further by British observers that the latest Russian com- munication hardly indicates such an overwhelming. success as their oppo- nents claim, although it ig admitted that the battering of the Teutonic phalanxes has won further ground.
