We are opposed to ‘high-brow’ inves- tigations of war and its causes, and we are also opposed to elaborate plans for ending warfare. Investigations are useless, and intricate machinery for establishing peace through diplomatic channels is unnecessary. “Patriotism controls legislation; the process cannot be reversed. Warfare will be ended by the good sense of the cor.mon people, not by the manipu- latinns of politicians.

The charge, which apparently based on Navy Department records, is the outgrowth of a lively correspond- ence between Mr. Gardner and Mr. Daniels provoked by previous asser- tions of the former that American naval gunnery is far below the stand- ard required in other navie Sec- retary Daniels wrote Mr. Gardner n letter in which Mr. Gardner was chid- ed for giving out “incomplete informa- tion based on gossip” relative to the record made in target practice by the battleship Michigan. Mr, Gardner compared the gunnery practice of the Michigan for 1911 and 1915, and declared that it corrobo- rated his declarations made in and out of Congress that marksmanship in the navy has greatly deteriorated. Out of fifty shots fired by the Michigan last spring, according to Mr. Gardner, only five actual hits were | allowed by the umpire This, Mr. Gardner said was far below the num- ber of hits made by the same vessel in 1911, is MAYOR MITCHELL GOOD SHOT.
