A mew poliey is being carried out in regard to eur navy. Heretofore we have concentrated our fleet in the Atlantic but from now on, in recogni- tion of the fact that we have an ex- tensive sea coast in the Pacific and numersus possessions there, we are to have a strong fleet on the west coast. This is not in anticipation of any expected trouble but is rather to be regarded as steps for the prevention ef any, through preparation. The Pacific fleet will be as power- ful as the Atlantic and more than twice as strong as the famous fleet that was sent round the world mere than a decade ago, and will be made up of modern ships, with Rear Admi- ral Rodman in command. having a tonnage of clese to a million. Along the western coast there has been a demand for such protection, it peing felt that that part of the country has long been lacking in just cueh a first line of defense, even theugh it was realized that the east and west coasts were brought much nearer together by the opening of the Panama canal. But even though it is believed by t naval authorities that the new arrangement is going to meet existing conditions in the best man- ner, it is thereughly understood that it ie a move that while previously urged has been discouraged - by no less an authority on naval affairs than | the late Admiral Mahan who main- tained that such a division would weaken our naval strength since should such a fleet be met and over- powered the ocountry would have nothing better to furnish protection and such a poesibility would be over- come by keeping our floating de- fenses together in one great fleet. And in spite of the change of policy many autherities hold to this idea today. AUSTRIA’S TERMS. It has been some weeks since Aus- tria received the first provisions of the treaty that it must sign. Now it has been given the rest of them with 2 limited time in which to think them over and come to the table and sign. Anstria has taken its cue from Ger- many in other things and it will doubtless do the same in this, The groaning and groveling have already started. It is being declared that the rms can never be accepted, that Austria cannot meet the requirements wnd that its children are in need of the milk of which it will be deprived when the cows are taken for Italy, Serbia and Rumania. Austria of course doesn’t like the idea of being made te help in restoring those coun- tries it ruthlessly ravished along with its leader. But while Austria has now been told where its boundaries will run, how it will et a slice of Hungary and vield territory on all sides to new and old countries and that it cannot have an army of over 30,000, it, like Ger- many does not know in definite ameunt what it will be obliged to pay to satisfy the allied claims. It must agree to do it. however, and com- mence right away theugh it will not be until the reparation commission completes its work in 1921 that it will be known what the total is. Whatever it is, it will be too much from the Austrian standpcint, even though the other parts of the dual monarchy par- ticipate in making up the total. But with this eountry, a shadow of its former self, it will be a case of exact. ing all that it can stand. It cannot expeet to escape its penalty and it will not be allowed to even though it will have 30 vears in which to settle the bill. And in this instance, as it was with Germany, the quicker it steps up and signs and settles down to meeting its responsibilities the bet- ter it will be for it. AMERICANS IN MEXICO. Much has been said regarding the lack of disrespect for the rights and lives of Americans in Mexico. It has been claimed that hundreds of Americans have been killed in the re- public to the south in the past de- ~ade in varicus ways, but there has been the fecling that there may have been some responsibility on the part of these killad, that bandits or irre- sponsible elements have been resort- ing to such methods to embarrass the sovernment and that exaggeration may have plaved a part. But regard- less of all these doubts it is impes- sible Dot to-pay attention to the re- port that is brought from Mexico by Ambassador Fletcher to that in three years there have been 58 Americans murdered in Mexico without the Mexiean authorities pros- ecuting a single one of the guilty par- ties. Inasmuch as this repert comes from the representative of our government it is not open to the charge of exag- geration, but it shows with what in- difference the safety and rights of American subjects are treated. From this shewing it would appear .that the effect | ENFORCING PROHIBITION. Just how the lower house of con- gress stands on the matter of pro- hibition is clearly demonstrated by the action it has taken upon the bill fotr the enforcement thereof. Not only has it shown its determination to of liquor completely stopped, by declaring that intoxicat- ing beverages mean all containing more than one-half of one per cent. alcohol, but it has done so by an overwhelming majority, in fact near- ly three to one, and this in spite of the claim that the terms of enforce- ment are in danger of failure by mak- ing them too severe. What the senate will do with the measure there is of course no telling, but it can hardly be expected that it will pass it by any such a vote as the house did if in fact it is willing to endorse it at all as it stands, and of course it is to be realized that there is the possibility of a presidential veto to be considered. By the passage of the drastic bill the house by including in it all the provisions that it did not only shows its attitude upon the question and its purpose to see that both the consti- tutional amendment and wartime provisian are enforced, but it has given itself a chance to compromise upon certain provisions In case that becomes necessary to meet the ide: of the senate, even though its action thus far does not indicate a com- promising attitude. The house action can hardly sive any comfort to the anti-prohibition forces; but it is a question of deter- mining whether too severe provisions or those along more modified lines would be mere likely to be enforced, would create less resentment and get more respect. The house action does not necessarily mean the final bill. WAR RISK INSURANCE. Ever since the ending of the war, or the signing of the armistice, the government has been calling attention |to the fact that those who had taken out insurance during their service in any of the branches of the army or navy should take advantage of the opportunity offered by the government for continuing such in- surance. That a very large number of the boys realized the importance of jtaking out government insurance as they went into the nation’s service is (shown by the fact that 90 per cent. of |them took out insurance in some amount. Many it was realized did this be- cause of the extra hazard connected with the war, but there were hopes that the good points conneeted with this protection duripg that period would be seized upon by the insured to continue it inasmuch as the gov- ernment offered them attractive rates and gave them the chance to convert their policies into any one of the va- irious forms furnished by the biz com- panies. Trom facts that are being brought out as the result of information as- certained by the advisory committee ling this work it is learned with re- gret that three-fourths of the men have failed to keep up their pay- {ments and a third are out of reach jof the director of the bureau. This would indicate that too little attention has been given in many instances to the importance of the aid offered through the war risk bureau, and it seems not improbable that many have allowed their insurance to lapse with- |out appreciating what they have done possible to continue it now that the war is over. It is an unfortunate sit- uation ‘but one that the committee now at work upon the matter may ad- just through the establishment of lo- cal eommittees. EDITORIAL NOTES. What is needed just now is a good lot of sunshine to remove that fishy taste from the city water. The man on the corner says: It is about time that something began to come down on account of peace. It seems to be a hard thing for the weatherman to give us just what we want, when and as we want it. No one will question for a minute but what General Humidity has been in full control of his iorces for th: past ten days. If it is so that Italy and Rumania have joined against the Jugeslavs the usual trouble ig the Balkans has broken out again.

Mr. Editor; _ An article in your issue of toda¥, July 23rd, emanating from Westerly, made the direct charge that one of the officials of the Shore Line Electric Railway Company has been drawing upon the revenues of the company through the collection of royalties on a patented device used by the company. This ie a revival of an old charge made at one of the public hearings be- fore the public utilities commission, at Hartford and proven to be false. Let me repeat here that to the best of my knowledge and belief no officer or emplove of this company has, at any time, received direstly or indi- rectly any royalties or revenue of any nature outside of his wage or sal- ary.

Despite the efforts of the authori- {ties, the country is harboring Bolshe- vik agents smuggled in by Russia, Hungary and Bulegaria. As 60 per cent. of Rumania is illiterate the Bolshevik danger is apparent. The greatest need is food. Food for the army and food for the civilian population. America has sent a dozen food ships to Rumania and the | American Red Cross is distributing {food at canteens and by means of rolling- soup kitchens wherever the need iz greatest. In the Dobrudja | where the smallpox epidemic is at its worst: the American Red Cross has many doctors and nurses. America has loaned Rumania $5,- 000,000 but the financial situation of the' countfy remains critical, writes the Red Cross man. This he attrib- utes to Rumania’s inability to export and to the broadcast issue during the German occupation of worthless banknotes. In addifion to food the Rumanian army and civilian population desper- ately need clothing. Cloth for a suit of clothes costs sixty dollars a yard. A yard of linen for shirts cost eight dollars and a chirt of ordinary qual- ity $40. A pound of butter costs $5.50. “How can America help Rumania? 2 Rumanian army officer was asked. “Continue your splendid shipments of food through the American army food mission and the American Red Cross,” replied the officer. “Send us propaganda written by Americans to be dropped by airplanes in the Bol- shevik ranks. We must fight ideas with ideas. Our railroad and trans- |port system is a wreck. Send us some of the American railroad men whe did such wonderful work in | France.” NEW BOOKS The Covenanter.
