The icorld has little patience with the Impatient man. Steps Toward Naval Preparedness PBEPAItEDNESS took a leap forward to day. And In what la undoubtedly the most Important division of tho branch of tho scrvlco ltsolf of most usefulness to tho United States tho submarlno division of tho navy. Tho news columns of tho morn ing carried thrco stories of work on foot to mako our navy commensurate In strength and rango with tho nation It must defend. One Item Is a record of accomplishment, the perfection of a disappearing rltlo for use on submarines. In view of tho consider able activities of German submerslbles abovo tho surface, Ihe pursuit and shelling of vessels attempting to cscapo, tho success of tho navy's gun factory In working out a light, disappearing threo-lnch rifle, which will hereafter bo installed on all submarines, Is highly important. Secretary Daniels announces that two great shipbuilding plants, ono In Newport News, tho other In Camden, aro preparing for the manufacture of submarines and havo asked for an extension of dato on bids for new vessels. Tho enlistments of two such great plants should mean tho rapid manu facture of more and better submarines than the halting little fleet at present In com mission. Probably most Important of all, If plans do not go wrong, Is the announcement of a. new bureau of Invention and development. With Thomas A. Edition as a civilian ad viser at the head of a group of native in ventors who wil give the navy tho benefit of their large practical knowledge. Secre tary Daniels has taken tmmedlnte steps to utilize the largo body of nebulous but valu able suggestion from ofllccrs of tho navy and interested citizens. Tho bureau's first duty will bo the perfecting of the submarine beyond any present standards. If tho Gov ernment is ablo to supply the new bureau with the necessary experiment station, It should do a tremendous amount to end that sorry spectacle of foreign. countries rushing far ahead whero America has shown tho way. Seeking a Catholic Forum for SufTrngc WOMAN suffrage Is not a religious ques tion; there can be no moro cleavago by creed than by party. It Js a human question of human rights. The formation and work of tho Catholic Suffrago Leaguo assuro this. There ore suffragists and antis In every parish and every congregation; It is only a matter of eeekinff them out. Tho new leaguo can do fine work for suffrage on these lines within the spacious fabric of the Catholic Church. The power the league may exert Is con rlderable. At present It is engaged in gain ing permission to address meetings of the various church societies. If It succeeds. It will have opened a forum to suffrage that is broad in numbers and earnest in convic tions. A good move for tho community as well as for the women's cause, A Trustee of the People Speaks WESTWARD the course of academic free, dom takes Its way. Just now It's the University of Wisconsin that Is worrying over Its professors and their right to manage their university and ipstruct Its students In the way that seems wisest to them. The Governor wants a central State board ot education to supervise tho supervision that already exists, and friends of the Wlscon sin's exceptional president, a R. Van Illse, see in the proposal an attempt to curb the work that that gentleman and his teaching staff have done for the good of the State, as well as of tho students. Governor Brumbaugh is somewhat of that opinion, too, in the letter he has written Wisconsin's Governor; and- though both It and the rejoinder of the Western offlsUl forebear to mention matters acadsmto In the neighborhood of West fchlladalphta, the im. presston one carries away la that a certain gentleman In. Harriaburg, bo Is also a trustee of the University of Pennsylvania, would Just as soon let the publlo know where he stands on a similar matter, recently broached quite near home.

Ono thing Is certain, tho pronouncement of President Wilson on tho Impossibility of further annrchy In Mexico seemed to breathe life Into tho Carrahza campaign After that word, Gonzales started for Mexico City, and he got there. But Moxlco City has been occupied before. Tho star of Carranza, the star of Villa and the various lesser luminaries of tho Mexican armies havo been In the ascendant on many previous occasions'. It seems to be a matter of waiting and wondering whether any one of them will attain much more permanence than a shooting star. Kvcn on tho qulto as important question of where tho Interests of tho Mexican people themselves aro to bo found, there Is Just as much confusion. Villa started his campaign on tho plea that Carranza refused to carry out a program of land reform, the "first chief" Is enlisting tho new labor unions of Mexico on his sldo as a friend rf the working clAsscs Ono day It la Carranza who Is ac cused of keeping his nrmy going by tho largess of English and American oil Inter ests; the next It Is Villa; while Znpata la variously reputed to be standing blindly nnd In many ways short-slghteelly for tho land, less peon, and to bo "for his own pocket" all tho time.

But tho Chamber of Commerco has taken tho lnltlatlvo in Invit ing tho Republicans to conveno here. It Is sulllclcnt for tho present that this body ex tends the hospitality of tho city nnd guaran tees a convention hall and whatever funds are necessary to flnanco tho convention. It Is not necessary to havo tho consent of Councils to construct tho convention hall be fore inviting tho convention. Get tho con vention first. Tho hall must and will follow.

But behold what he has gained 1 In Its place he has everything that a pro gressive Recreation Board, although handi capped by lack of funds, can dev-Jsc. Today thcro is not a boy or girl, nor a man or woman, who cannot taste tho pleasures and benefits of swimming taught by competent experts In tho pools or bathhouses of the city. Best of all, tho girls aro not neglected. Indeed, it Is astonishing to seo so many of these young maidens, not yet out of tho grammar school, actually enjoying Marathon wlms. Knowing how to swim Is primarily n pro tection from drowning. But in tho physical enjoyment and increased health It provides It is worth moro than any addition made to the curricula of our publlo schools and colleges In the last decade. The University of Penn sylvania secured a Into though commendable start whon it decreed that every student must bo ablo to swim a required distance before receiving a diploma. Thero will bo ft lot of exemptions from this course when the present crop of schoolboys become freshmen. Our War Chest of Food IP ANY foreign Power wants to put a food blockade on Pennsylvania, this is the time to do It. Tho eggs nre already mustered in. The hens havo done their April duty, nnd 17,000,000 dozen more eggs throng the cold storage vaults than In March. Butter has Jumped H.OOO.OOO pounds, and fish 1,400,000. But while beef has declined and other meats only hold their own, the squab supply Is down to the alarming figure of 48 pounds. The averngo nnd uUlmate consumer might think that 18,800,169 dozen eggs Is a lot. Vet how long would they last If Pennsylvania's ' seven million nnd a half of cooks and gour mands set out to live on them in a period of war? Few of us realize how close to the wind a modern nation still sails In the matter of food supply. Neutral is as neutral does. In politics as well as war.

A BUGOLOGIST BEATS THE MAN WITH A BUG Nebraska's Greatest Citizen Is Not Bryari, But ah Bntotnogolist, Who Added $100,000,000 a Year to the Crops by Fighting Insects. .1 ii ii By JOHN LUM THE first citizen of Nebraska Is not a poli tician with a bug but a man of science who knows all about bugs. Ths committee appointed by Governor Morehead to select the most distinguished Nebraskan to--be hon ored at the Panama Paclflo Fair, rejected tho claim of William Jennings Bryan and chose, instead, Prof. Lawrence Brunei head of the department of entomology In the State University. Mr. Bryan's admirers may seek consolation by assuring themselves that tho extinguished commoner Is a citizen of the world and thnt no single State can LAwnENeE nm ne claim him But that still leaves Lawrence Bruner at the top of tho list of Ncbrasknns. And Bruner, after ull, j0 not n Nebraskan, but a Pcnnsylvanlnn Ho was born on Match 2, 1866, at Catasaqua, Lehigh County, only GO miles north of Philadelphia. His father was Uriah Bruner nnd his mother was Amelia Bropst. He, therefore, Inherited tho sturdy qualities of the raco which has dono much for this great Commonwealth, and carried them with him to. the West when his parents migrated In his youth. Ho was edu cated at tho University of Nebraska, receiv ing tho degrco of bachelor of sclenco in 1880, when he was 24 years old, and Immediately began that pursuit of bugs which has led him to his present high place In tho esteem of his fellow citizens. Vanquisher of tho Chinch Bug Ho was at first an naslstant In the United St'tos Entomological Commission. In 188$ ho boenmo field agent for the United States Department of Agriculture, and v. as at tached to tho University of Nebraska. Ho became Instructor in entomology In tho unl vorslty In 1890, and was promoted to a full professorship and the head of his department In 1895, nnd has been Stato Entomologist since thnt date. When tho chinch bug was destroying the wheat crop In Nobraska young Bruner dis covered a parasite, harmless to the wheat, but deadly to the devouring bug. Ho tamed it, nnd let It loose to multiply In tho fields. What was tho result? Tho wheat crop of tho State, which was 17,450,000 bushels in 18S, fell to 8.C0O.0OO bushels In 1894 through tho ravages of tho bug. In 1896 It rose to 19,400,000 bushels. In 1906 It was r.2,288,000 bushols. And in 1914 It was 71,000,000 bushels. They may say thnt republics aro ungrate ful If they choose. But Nebraska farmers, nnd all Nebraskans dependent on tho prosperity of the farmers, are grateful They know who has mada wheat-raising possible. Bruner has saved the crops of tho State on several other occasions when thoy havo been threatened by Insects. Tho despised bug ologlst who used to bo seen wandering over tho fields with a net chasing butterflies has proved that bug study Is of greater Impor tance to n Commonwealth than the construc tion of rhetorical periods The effect of this entomologist's work is shown In tho development of Nebraska as an agricultural State. Of course ho has not dono It all, but his sharo In tho work has been greater than that of any other man. Slnco 1S90 tho vnluo of the farm products has Increased fourfold, while the numher of acres of Improved land has Increased only a little moro than twice. Tho exact figures show that 25 years ngo $102,000,000 worth of stuff was produced on 6,300,000 acres. In 1900 tho number of acres of Improved land had grown to 11,470,000 and tho value of the farm produpts had risen to $486,000,000. But In 1910, tho dato of tho last census, the farm products were worth $1,614,000,000, while tho acreago cultivated had Increased only to 14.200,000. Tho addition of moro than $100,009,000 a year every year for ten years to the value of Nebraska's agricultural products proves be yond the faintest shadow of a shade of doubt that It pays to study bugs. Ho Stayed tho Plague of Locusts Professor Bruner's fame is not local. Ar gentina was being devoured by a pest of locusts In 1897 nnd 1898. The Government of that country had heard of tho Nebraska bug hunter, and cabled to him to come and save tho wheat, Ho wont nnd conquered tho locusts as he had vanquished tho chinch bug of tho Nebraska farmers. Ho has told all about the locusts of Argentina and Paraguay and Peru In books that he has written, and has also put Into books somo of the few things that ho knows about Insects In gen eral. He is the author of an Introduction to the study of agriculture, as well aa an Intro duction to tho study of bugs, though In these days of pestiferous Insects the layman might Infer that both subjects should be Included In one volume, or, at any rate, that the intro duction to tho study of bugs was really an introduction to the pursuit of farming. A member of tho committee which unani mously selected tho entomologist has ex plained the choice by saying: "Political fame, puch ns Is possessed by Bryan. Is a bubble nnd fleeting. True dis tinction only Is Jastlng. That's why wo dei elded Bruner was the most distinguished man." And when one considers that every high sohool graduate is familiar with the fame of Hippocrates, but would be put to It to name any of the Bryans of the fifth ante domino qe'ntury, one Is persuaded that the commit teeman speaks words of soberness and truth.

WW m HOW ENGLAND PREP ABED FOR WAR Men Taught in the Officers' Training Corps Soon Qualified for Commissions in the Army Sent to France The Oxford Contingent Enlisted in a Body. By" K. A. SELBIE Of the Officer- Tralnlnr Corps. The following description of the British method of preparing officers Qualified to command the army enlarged for purposes of war should oe of Interest to every American who would like to set. prep arations for tho defense of his own coun try entered upon with an Intelligent appreciation of the gravity of the problem. THE Boer War taught England man los sons, not the least of which wai tho In adequacy of her supply of officers ir case of a big war. Tho pinch was felt oven during tho Boer War, chiefly owing to the reckless ness with which ofllccrs exposed themselves and the quickness of the Boers to recognize this fact and to pick them off. When Lord Haldano becamo War Minister ho took ad vantage of tho lesson and proceeded to estab lish tho present officers' training corps and territorial battalions, known as a Wholo as tho territorial system. This was to tako tho place of tho old-tlmo volunteer and mllltla companies, and the justification for his far seeing policy Is already apparent. Its suc cess is phenomenal, and the greatest of Us results Is tho sure supply of officers It has created from an excellent material of young university, business nnd professional men. Tho organization of the system Is roughly as follows: It Is divided Into two groups, the Officers' Training Corps and tho territorials. Tho latter aro local formations, as are tho corresponding units of the regular forces. Their officers aro drawn from the professions, businesses and universities, tho mon from all walks of life; shop assistants, factory hands, clerks and even laborers. They are primarily Intended for home defense; to take the place of tho regular army when the latter is fight ing abroad. That Is. they cannot be com pelled to go abroad, but In tho present war several territorial battalions were asked on parade to volunteer for foreign service, and all, to the last man, offered. The precedent has been followed, and many territorials who were, comparatively speaking, trained on tho outbreak of the war, were sent straight out to India, Egypt or tho front. Volunteering' la Not "Playing Soldier" The territorials are Just as much a part of the army as tho regulars, and this vital fact, together with the respect nnd admiration they nro now earning for themselves, has done much to destroy the former contempt In which volunteers were held (and very often Justly hold) by the regulars, and to promote good feeling between the two forces. Volunteering Is no longer "playing at sol diers"; a man has to work and to work hard to keep his place, and he must be keen on his Job. Again, It Involves no expense to Join the territorial force. Uniform and equipment are supplied, and army pay Is earned each year In camp. The require ments aro attendance at a specified number of drills per year, tho passing of musketry courses and efficiency standards nnd the at tendance yearly at a fortnight's camp. The Officers' Training Corps, or the O. T, C, Is tho senior branch of the territorial force. In It a man is trained for one of three things: The regular army, after leav ing school or college; the special reserve of officers, or the territorial army, as de scribed above. The cadet Joining the regular army proceeds In the ordinary manner to Sandhurst or one of the other military schools. A cadet who Joins, the special re servo after his O. T. C. training Joins a reg ular regiment, but Is placed on Its reserve strength; that Is, is attached to one of its reserve battalions, of which every regiment has several. He Is required to pass a cer tain amount of Urns with tha regiment on Joining It, at the expiration of which time all he has to do is to attend a fortnight's oamp very year. While he is still a cadet h may pass one or both pf two certificates, called A and B. Without a certificate tha time ha must put In Is six months, alther straight off. or with Intervals, aa he can at it In with his ordinary work. With oertlfl oate A lie must do five months, with B only three. On Joining he geta a bonus of somo e ($l) for uniform and equipment, and he waives qflJaera' pay during his training and during eamp. A cadat who Join the territorial force merely dots the ordinary training of his battalion as 4saribl above. Ttw O. T, 0- itwdf it dlvldsd j,tc, ta w. tioju, saalor aad. Juater. 3fa Jwr soMlato "WHO'S AFRAID?" of tho school corps, officered by the masters, who hold their commissions in tho territorial force; tho senior of tho university and busi ness men's corps, such ob tho London Scot tish, tho Inns of Court (somotimes known as the Devil's Own), or tho Artists' Rifles. Cadets in these units are, of course, In the ranks as privates, or N. C. O.'s., but their training and teaching has tho end and aim of making officers out of them. A cadet who leaves tho O. T. C. with certificate A to his credit is equal, as far as mere knowledge gdes, to a second lieutenant who has passed Into tho army In tha ordinary way. Great caro Is taken with tho training, especially at tho yearly camps, where staff officers and other regular officers aro assigned as adju tants and temporary colonels to the O. T. C. battalion for purposes of Instruction. A great debt Is duo from tho O. T. C. to these men, who give up their time during this period In tho kindest and most helpful spirit. As I heard It onco expressed by an enthusiastic cadet, "They como and grovel on their stom achs with the best of us." Most senior O. T C. battalions contain an infantry force, a cavalry section, medical section, signalers and communication companies, whllo some, such as the Cambridge University O. T. C, have an engineer section. Others again are purely cavalry units, or yeomanry. I was fortunate or unfortunate enough to seo the first fow weeks of the war In England and to try to materialize tho training I my self had had in the O. T. C. at school and college In tho shape of a commission. When I presented myself on tho third day of tho war at the O. T. C. headquarters In my uni versity I found there somo 200 men, past, present and even future members of the uni versity, on tho samo errand as myself. Many of them had never been In the O. T. C, but had turned up at the headquarters as being the likeliest place where they could realize their desire. Our first duty was to fill up and sign many and Intricate army forms, giving our record, and stating which we wished to Join, regular army, special reserves or territorial force. This done, we had to present ourselves before a board, consisting of tho vice chancellor of the university, tho lieutenant colonel commanding the O. T. C. and various officers from the War Office! 'Technically, ono Is not allowed to leave the university whllo one's course is unfinished or onos degree untaken. As In the Boer War. a special act was passed in convoca tion whereby tho undergraduate can go to the war and. if he Is lucky enough to return, can tako up his studies where they were left off without counting the intermediate time. The vice chancellor accordingly gave the required permission, together with aa Informal handshake and blessing and we were set free. Oxford Men Rush to Enlist This board had sat all day and every day of the war, and It continued to sit until, as I was told, every member of the O. T, C had passed before It. and nearly every member of the yarslty, some SOOO men, together with hundreds of past members from one to ten years' standing. Of those now left in Ox ford, mostly doctors' rejections, all are drill Ing hard, Including the professors and tutors who are of age. After this those of us who were fortunate enough to pass the medical tests were sent Into training at once Volunteers for the regular army were en lered at Sandhurst, those offering for the special reserve or the territorial "owe wer"e sent into training camps.
