FIC§T DA™AL ECGGAGETIENT, The rengagement off Heligoland is the first actual clash of the naval forces of Great Britain and Germany and the result unquestionably tells way the German fleet has remained at edse and disposed to refrain from test- ing out its sea strength. Details are " 'lacking as to the circumstances sur- rounding the encounter but the facts indicate its decisiveness. Between the naval forces of Great Britain and Germany thers is no Coubt as to which is the more power- ful. The fajlure of Germany to bring its fleet into action before this speaks for itself. The odds on the water are vastly against the Kaiser and with his navy bottled up British and French ships have succeeded in sweeping the seas of German shipping. Its com- merce has been paralyzed and such is a matter.of vital importance to the German empire. Because of the strategic positions which = Germany controls, together with the valuable Kiel canal, the in- ‘vasion of the Baltic sea and the land- ing of forces from that direction has been prevented but otherwise the fleet has taken no*active part in the war, ‘because of the inferiority of fighting strength. The first. venture “from its haven brings disaster of a kind which supports the good judgment which has. been previouSly used in keeping it under cover. It likewise explains, as nothing else can why such a se- clusion has been considered wise in the past. . UNTRAINED DIPLOMATS, Mahy are the justified objections to the method this country uses in the filling of diplomatic posts, placing as it does the responsibility of properly looking after the interests of this eountsy. upon new and inexperienced shoulders every few years, but the present situation in Furope, where war conditions prevall and where the represent: es of this country are being looked to to assume the responsibili- ties of other embassies, points out the importance of having trained diplo- mats in foreign capitals. Difficulty enough is presented for those thoroughly familiar with the duties, through experience and train- ing, but it can be readily understood how great is the handicap for an am- ‘bassador who is called upon to take up his office at such a time, and what the character of such service can be expected to be, efficient and able though the minister is. Thus the brunt of the responsibility must fall upon the embassy employes and not upon the one who should be the master mind in control of the nation’s affairs abroad, and all because it is impossi- ble to throw over patronage and ‘that long standing method of pay- ment of party debts when it comes to filling such important positions. A system -which most any other nation maintains requires the proper amount of service and training for its diplo- mats but in this country the system of spoils is what governs, Today " in European capitals this country has only- untrained men, with the excep- tion of Paris and the change is about to take place there. WHAT WILL TURKEY DO? ‘What is Turkey going to do relative < %te the Buropean war? is a question of vital concern just at this timie, be- rause of the effect which its action can have upon the Mediterranean and Balkan countries. 'What Turkey is inclined to do is intimated by the course of events, and whether it will bs possible through diplomatic repre- sentations to influence her to declare war, or. to continue her mneutrality " pests with the future. Pressure is being brought to bear by both sides and that empire is ap- parently reviewing the possibilities and consequences. - Smarting under the loss of its islands and other territory in' the Balkap war disposition to pégain them from G 'q has led to The necessity of having the stronz- est cabinet possible was recognized in the crisis which the country faces and the peaceful dissolution of the old and the creation of the new has been ac- complished through the general under- standing of the country’s needs. It was no time for ‘standing out on party lines. A common cause is at staie tnd a union of party forces is the best method of handling the situ- ation. Thus has France secured the help of some of its maste> minds when they are most needed, bringing to its aid &s it does the experience and wisdom of such former prime ministers as Ribot, Briand and Doumergue and the ability of statesmen like Millerand and Tecagse.” For the former cabinet to give way to such men was only a proper recognition of guperjor strength and knewledge in the handlinz of the nation’s affairs. It is a time when France needs the combined skill of its great men regardless of political lines and it appears to have gone about it in the right manner to obtain it Patriotism solidifies and brings out the best in the nation.

They had made Deds of chewed-up let- ters. The post-master reported the matter to the Chicago office and sent along the mice as an exhiit which was received by George B. rmstropg. the assistant post- master. To prevent a repetition of such an occurence, Armstrong sought to speed up the mail service, and finally evolved the idea of hav- ; ing the mail distributed on the trains while in transit. The plan was ridiculed.
