FULL SPEED AHEAD. | HAT Congress is to be asked for an immediate appropriation of sy $5,400,000,000 to cover initial war expenses is proof enough! that this country means to fight from the start with) both hands. Approximately $2,900,000,000 will be spent on the beginnings of an adequate army. At the same time it is planned at once to increase the navy personnel from 87,000 to 150,000, and that of the marine corps from 17,000 to 30,000. While it is agreed that large bodies of comparatively untrained | American troops could be of little help to the Allies on the battle lines | in Europe at this moment, nevertheless the United States will quietly fall to with money and men to make an army that in record time shall equal any in the world. There need be no half-heartedness in prep-| arations for land fighting merely because we cannot fight on land ai the outset. The Navy is ready now to strike and strike hard. France offers us the port of Brest for the use of our naval forces. At any hour tho first direct clash on sea may begin what the United States should strive to make a searching and relentleds submarine hunt, to be kept up without pause until that barbarously wielded weapon is struck out of the German hand. Meanwhile the American public has got to get used to certain) unaccustomed things. It has got to get used first of all to having ite| news seriously curtailed—to being kept in ignorance of plans and movements in which it is most keonly interested and in knowin which it sees no harm. Newspapers and public alike have got to| accept the fact that henceforth many first class items of news ought not to be and must not be printed. The sooner everybody thinks it over, sees the inevitable neces- sity of it, and resolves to make the best of it, the less fault-finding and| the. fewer unseemly collisions between Government and newspapers there will be. | | ———- + ___— Whether in peace or war, no New York Legislature has passed a measure of more practical value to the State than the ! bill, now safely through both Senate and Assembly, establishing | a State Police, It gives the Whitman Administration a better chance of being remembered for things worth while. —_——-+ —___—_. BRAZIL AND BOLIVIA. EPORTS that Brazil and Bolivia are ready to line up with the| United States and the Allies against Germany indicate that | the example of the greatest of American republics is working on the others. Brazil has earlier shown its sympathies. The Brazilian League er Friday, April 6, ton mR, 1917 in Favor of the Allies, organized last year, grow fast until it included) most of the leading men of the country. Last fall many of these were urging the taking over of German shipping in Brazilian ports. Brazil's total war strength on land, including reserves, is os timated at not much above 560,000 men, that of Bolivia at only 88,000. Data regarding navies of the world compiled in 1916 showed the Brazilian navy to consist of two modern battleships, one second class cruiser, four third class cruisers, six gunboats and lesser craft, in- cluding three submarines, with a total personnel of 15,300, There is greater power than the power of men and ships, how Conyriaht, No. X14.
