Since there was any prospects of Americans and American interests in that coun- trv needing additional protection every effort has been made to furnish it and # 1s upon such a mission tkat the Tnited States crufsers are now sta- tioned in the Mediterranean. % The firing upon the launch of the ger Tennessee while attempting to ebter Smyrna bay on a visit to the gonsulate located in that city is pos #lble of an ugly interpretation. It Mso possible of e friendly meaning When conditions are considered. It is therefore a matter which calls for diplomatic handling and the course Which has been foilowed by the com- mander indicates that there is no in- ¢lination to rash action, ZThere is good reason to believe thct tHe firing upon the launch is suscept- idle to an acceptable explanation and it is gratifying to know that the ad- ministration is proceeding under such a belief. As a matter of fact there ig absolutely no reason why Turkey should be disposed to fire hostile shots against the veesels of this country, or be disposed to involve this coun- try in war. Smyrna being a closed port and the harbor presumably mined, such shots as were fired were an ef- fective warning of danger, and it will mnot be at all surprising if such is the outcome of the incident. It is certain- 1y an affair which deserves an explan- ation, and upon one this country will ingist, but the circumstances give sup- pert to the belief that it can and will e adjusted by diplomatic action. OUGHT TO HAVE THE FACTS. From the manner in which opposi- tion has developed from the navy de- partment head to what the general Woard of the navy considered advis- able to recommend—the increasing of the number of men in the navy by 18,- 400 men or sufficient to man the exist- ing vessels of the navy—it is quite evident that the administration is pre- pared to throw cold water upon the deavor of Congressman Gardner to secure an investigation of the pre- paredness of this country for war. This difference of opinion resulting in the desire of Secretary Danlels that the recommendation be mnot incor- porated in his report, but published 1205, average.

The departure of the American troops from the city of Vera Crus, ordered for next Monday places that important port in an uncertain situa- tion. Ever since United States sallors entered the city, April 21, being later succeeded by soldiers under General Funston, Vera Cruz has received many valuable lessons in the matter of gov- ernment and sanitation. These were put into operation net so much for the purpose of giving the people of that city an bbject lesson. but because such methods are desir- ful one at first, but her Dlood did not long to reveal fiself in pulses of and presently; now | ing her tears, ralsed her bowed head, a B And there you have in a few the most striking characteristics of some | both. l';acy a mu-lm of bleak pla- teaux spread over hundred &h the try!

At twanty-two Marie Legoff found her She had becom: tall, t-backed girl and married a mg man her age, a red-haired fellow who hdd a brevet of captain in his pocket. The lhort, very short trips of her uncle’s boat had not satisfied Marie Ive'fi‘fi. and she bad been longing for 6 when she could go on a bigger Boat and fight and wrestle with the sea that had taken her father. That time had come with her marriage. Hus band and wifé having some money put it together to buy a sloop of apout fifty tons burden, and they went to sea, doing the coasting trade. If the husband had the brevet, the ‘wife was the acting captain, and no able in every well regulated munici- pality and in recognition thereof it is the policy of this country and ‘as conditions proved in Vera Cruz, neces- sary for the health of the army of occupation. Such things.as the cov- eping of garbage cans, the destruction of the fiy and the mosquito, the re- moval of pestholes, together with other. valuable clean-up and preventive measures have been taught to the peo- ple of that city and maintained for seven months. It now remains to be seen how much appreciation of such instruction will be manifested and it will be disclosed not only by regret- ting the departure of the Americans, but by the continuation. of the good things which they have been taught. Seven months is a short time in which to demonstrate the effectiveness of some of the ideas, but the benefits in that time, in contrast to the pre- vious conditions, should be sufficient to mean the beginning of a new era for that Mexican city. Tt has a chance to show things to the rest of the country, but Mexicans have a way and ideas of their own. GUARDING AGAINST MINES, ‘The loss of merchant and war ves- sels in the North sea as the result of submarine operations and mines has resulted in that body of water being declared a military area for the bet- ter protection of shipping in general, with particular regard for the neutral commerce. From the losses which have been sustained from the indiscriminate scattering of mines and the efforts to overcome them, there can be little doubt as to who the distributor of such death dealing dewices has been. ‘That mine field which has been en- countered to the north eof Ireland shows evidence of having been laid by the same cunning and desperate methor and indicates that the Ger- man navy bas not been content to re- main inactive while their visible ves- sels of war havé been bottled up in the Kiel canal. Had Great Britain placed such mines off Tory island it would have warned at least its own warships and vessels of commerce, yet those are the very ones which were destroyed. For Great Britain there was no motive for such action, while on the other hand Germany was de- sirous of striking at British commerce at any cost, That German ships, or those in Ger- many’s employ, alded possibly by the submarines which it is claimed have been on trips far to the north of Scot- land, were responsible for the less of the Audacious, iz highly probable, but the worst feature of such mine laying was the menace which it placed in the way of merchant vessels and the danger which was without warning aimed at neutral commerce and pas- benger traffic. Under the conditions it is not surprising that Great Britain has determined to do its utmost for non-belligerent shipping.

Gabriel \l&lasr\da was one of tke strangest products of Jesuitism. He was born at Mercajo, near Milan, in 1669. He was admitted into the So- ciety of Jesus at the age of 22 and some years afterwards he set out an a commission to Brazil, where he da- voted himself to the task of conver ing the Indian tribes. At this period of his career he gave evidence of a spirit of fanaticism closely bordering on insanit; But he also did ex- cellent religious and social work among the savage ruces with which he was brought Into contact. Tn 1754 he crossed to Lisbon and be came the spiritual adviser of Mari- anna of Austria, the Queen of Por- tugal. In Lisbon, he acquired a great prevailed on board.
