A Convert to Preparedness, (Providence Journal.) Nobody has ever suggested that the | Hon. John Sharp Williams of Missis- | sippi is lacking in red-blooded and | eloquent Americanism; but, just the his attitude in favor of adequate naval expansion, declared in a spirited speech in the Senate on Thursday, may be an agreeable surprise to ’w country. It is about as striking/an illustration of the effect of the lodic of events on the minds of thoughtful statesmen as has been afforded in the | case of former Ohio. With a question of vital national policy before Congress and the coun- try, these two veteran leaders of pub- lic opinion, who have rarely agreed on | who tempeyamentally as | politicgdly are as far apart as the | poles, are found stanling on the same platform. The Ohio statesman, one of ablest representatives of the Amer- | ican people in this generation, was | apt to be cool toward Army and Navy | appropriations during his long service ' in Congress. That position, to be | sure, did not really do )| public sentiment as it has Burton’s was the voice of leadership when the question of preparedness be- gan to assume the shape that has now made it the most momentous is sue before his hard-headed fellow countryman Tt was Williams of Mi. ippi who, when leader of the House minority, | ironically suggested that Congr: should authorize the building of = | super-superdreadnought to be named the “Skeerd-o’-nothin.” Ridicule is a powerful weapon, and the Mississ Representative and Senator has ways been keen to use it. His bat- | tleship “Skeerd-o’-nothin” made the | country laugh. It gave particular ioy | to the pork barrel rollers in Con- | gress. Out of the mouths of (he | “little Navy” men it has made its re- appearance about every time the naval | £ ppropriation bill has seen before the House, since Williams launched it. Today, it is no joke with thor. He would now have the U States possess an armament, ally, of that character. the Senate with uncommon delibera- tion and solemnity on the necessitv | to prepare the Government to back up its future diplomacy with force. The fact that he is a member of the Foreign Relations Committee adds weight to his words. The Administration and the country will evidently have a stout champion for the policy of preparedness in the senior Senator from Mississippi.

It is the crest of the wave,” he “The prohibition wave, like any other wave, must topple at its crest. As the effects of recent drastic legislation are felt, the units that compose the wave will fall over each other in a wild effort to get back to normal conditions. The his- tory of the prohibition wave that rose so high in 1895, and fell so far, is about to be repeated.” Tt is p sible, however, that the Model Li cense league president is letting his hopes deceive him. Certainly the wave hasn’t vet begun to break, and few disinterested persons can see any clear signs of its doing so. With the tremendous impetus given to lig- uor abstinence by the European war, the movement still appears to be gathering strength. After the war there may come a general relaxation of morals in the belligerent nations, with intemperance and increased liquor consumption as one of its phases, and such a relapse would naturally be felt also in America.

Pigs and grains are its ranking exports, and the great- er part of the Serbian export in pigs, ond almost all of its export in ' cer- s, passed through Semendria in ce times. Its trade has ben. done h Vienna and Budapesr. Among its exports are a superior White grape and a delicious wine. “There is an interesting tradition connected with the grapes of Semen- dria. It is told that the Serbian Prince George Brankovich brought cuttings of the grape vines of Semen- dria and- planted them upon his sun- ny estates in Hungary, when he ume the lord of Tokay there. transplanting of the Serbian grapes took place in the fiftcenth centur: and it is from these imported vines Hungar famous. spity white wine, Tokey, came.
