British Fleet Awaits Big North Sea Battle
Headline.
As an exponont of "watchful waiting," this
fleet lives right up to the Briton's proverbial
"bulldog tenacity." And when It gets a hold
on the seat of the Teutonic trousers
Mr. Justice Hughes, when Governor of New
Tori;, bluntly told tho Assembly that It made
too many laws. Governor Fielder conveys tho
same message to the New Jersey Legislature
by making a record for -vetoes. Mr. Hoosevelt
once announced that tho United States was
burdened by too much legislation, but he, ns
usual, was more the preacher than the piactl
tloner. Employes of tho General Electric Company
are to share in the profits of the company
hereafter at tho rate of fle per cent, of their
wages. Tho bonus is to be paid semiannually
to those who have been on the payroll five
years or more. Many other companies have
adopted this plan, and the tlmo Is likely to
come when every great corporation will recog
nize In this way its Indebtedness to the men
who make its success possible.
The friends of Colonel Roosevelt must be
pleased by the growing enthusiasm for their
hero. At two meetings of business men this
week the mention of his name by the speakers
has been the signal for spontaneous, vigorous
and long-continued applause. And now Sen
aWr Penrose is going to the trouble to deny
the report that he has said that ho would
favor the nomination of the Colonel under cer
tain circumstances. It seems to be admitted
everywhere that there will be a strong dele
cation in the Republican National Convention
committed to his candidacy.
Government by mandate, as practiced by
Tuan Bhl-Kal, China's dictator all the tlmo
and alternately Its emperor and president,
does not commend Itself to the Mikado's Chan
cillery. A note protesting strongly against
Yuan's decree reconstituting the Republic
.vhtch he had displaced recently by a consti
tutional monarchy, through a limited plebls
plte, has been framed in Tokio, which obvi
ously considers Japan a sort of big brother
to the yellow races. Yuan'a action was dic
tated by motives of caution, as other provinces
threatened to follow that of Kwang-SI into re
volt against the monarchy. This Is the form
of government that Japan favors for the half
awake democracy which has evolved out of
the sluggish JUanchu empire. A Republic In
the Orient might prove too close as a model
for Imitation of the alert-minded Nipponese,
And it might block the sort of suzerainty that
Japan is trying- to exercise over China for
trade and other advantages.
Military preparedness means much more
than the power to mass men for the front,
Munitions, supplies transportation facilities,
all are necessary for swift action In time of
yrar. "Vyithqut weapons, a sudden blow at the
enemy cannot be struck, All truism no doubt,
but it is the obvious that, we ore apt not
to notice. There is a moral in the delays and
obstacles which have retarded the progress or
the Villa puntve expedition. General Funs

sion ot disappointment at the deplorable scar
city and Inadequacy of war equipment which
baa halted promptitude and vigor of action
on the, Mexican border. Germany was prepared

THREE FACTORS FOR PEACE
The new proposals of peare Justify hope
of renlltntlnn heennse they are illetaled by
a triple necessity. This necessity rises from
Ihe financial, military and political situa
tions of nil tlie belligerents. In finance,
disaster lies. On the field, n deadlock, l'o
llllonlh f lie rltnncn In Germany's conscious
ness Is the most Impnrtnnt event. It fore
tells the end of Hermany's ureal Illusion
nliuiil herself. .
NO TAIK of peace, 110 penuo tctms which
have como out of Em ope in tho last six
months were so tinged with the air of prob
ability ns those which havo peislstcntly been
reported this week. Except for the pre
po8ternu( demand for Indemnity from Franco,
a still undefeated belligerent, tho suggested
statu provides a working basis for n peace
conferenco.
Terms, however, nte tho material out of
which diplomats nmy build "satisfactions" and
honors for their ruleia and their cltbens. Be
hind them theio rests a changed attitude of
mind, representing a transformation In tho
political nnd social fabilc of the countries In
olved. Just because tho evidence of such
change have boon piling up day after day,
tho now talk of peace may bo taken eri
ouslj. At lnt the Judgment of mankind seem
to accoid with It dealest wish.
The financial, mllltitty and sociopolitical sit
uations of the belligerent nil thiow light upon
the now condition When pcaco may bo dis
cussed without Illusion nnd without tlucats,
The 111 st nr these. In n war which has so
ninny commeiclnl Implications, I of vnt im
portance, but onlv tho more outlines aro avail
nble Gonnnny has llnnnced heiself up to this
tlmo by n scries of domestic loan. Her In
trepid secrotaiy of the tieasury, Doctor Helt
fetich, spoko confidently eighteen months ago
of a war financed without tnxe, and for a
time Interest on one loan was paid from tho
proceeds of Its successor That means that the
disaster of compound interest was accepted; It
has since been discarded. Tho Allies have
borrowed abroad and at homo, and have en
tcicd Into a system of tnxntlon which, lit
times of peace, would be confiscatory. What
ever the methods of securing money, tho ex
pciiditute tcmulns the same, nnd tho samo
Goiman financier told tho Reichstag that thev
nnd their allies had spent, In tho first 20
months of war, 512,500,000.000, whilo their
enemies had spent mote than twice that
nmount. Geimany herself Is now being re
duced to tho comparatively small sum of half
a billion dollars n month for war expenses
only. Comment on these figures I unneces
sary. Last jear the bit Ing power of tho pound
sterling reached Its lowest point; tho buying
power of the mark Is at a corresponding level
at present. Regardless of financial stability,
neither side can afford tho war much longer.
Tho military factors making for peace are
no more dlttlcult to understand. Sympathizers
with Germany admit that England still main
tains supeiiority nn the sea. Sympathizers
with tho Allies aro compelled to say that
Germany has not been and probably cannot
be decisively defeated on land. The sole point
in dispute Is whether the Allies enn bo so
defeated on land. The almost Incredible ef
forts at Veidun will be partial proof of this
problem, but not conclusive proof. The in
creasing momentum of tho Russian advance
will, if unchecked, nullify any victory at Ver
dun, because it will Indicate how completely
centied Germany's nttnek must be before It
can succeed Tho summaries of tho mili
tary situation vnry with tho affections of
those who make them. The neutral observer
knows only that the number of effective men
is being gtadually depleted beyond tho hope
of rehabilitation; that Germany has conquered
her smallest adversaries and has Invaded fruit
lessly tho teriitory of two greater enemies;
that Germany has lost n vast area in her
colonial possessions, for which the very terms
of pcaco now proposed demand restitution;
that the prospects of a victory for Germany
decrease with tho growing armies and tho re
plenished munitions of her enemies; that the
prospect of n victory for the Allies, except the
victory which comes ot exhaustion, is hardly
brighter today than It was In November,
191-1.
The final set of conditions, vaguely called
socio political, arise out of the other two; but
they may become the determining factor. Ger
many reports that France is exhausted; the
difficulties ot Bngland are notorious from ac
counts of her own patriots. Now, for the first
time, wo learn of a great political struggle Jn
Germany. "With its source In the U-boat con
troversy and Its Impetus In the dismissal of
Von Tlrpitz, it actually Involves the entire
question of militarism; if it ends as it has
begun thero will be ample reason for the
Allies to agree to peaco, for they will have
crushed the power of the German military
oltg.uchy.
It Is fairly indicated that the German peo
ple have become resentful of the trick played
upon them. It is certain that the Emperor,
his Premier, his Foreign Office and a major
ity (by a small margin) of his responsible
counselors in the Reichstag have turned their
faces against such prosecution of the war as
Involves the enmity of neutrals. That is only
a faint response to the disaffection in the
German people; a disaffection born not of
lack ot patriotism, but of surfeit of sorrow. A
successful war might Justify all sacrifices; it
might even justify the sacrifice of every hu
man principle of right and justice. But mourn
ing for the dead Is not the happiest moment
for believing what diplomats say, and the Ger
man people have lost their Illusion of God
given destiny. When the Government con
fesses this loss, the war may well end.
FINDING OUT- WHAT WE KNOW
TUB Mayor's expert engineers who are to
find out whether it is practicable to run
the subway under the City Hall, as originally
planned, are not likely to learn anything
new. All that matter was gone Into thoroughly
months ago. Before the lines were planned
former Director of Transit Taylor satisfied
himself that there were no engineering diffi
culties In the way of routing the Broad street
subway under City Hall, When bids were
solicited Tor the work, roen with the widest
experience in such work, were called In by
the bidders to examine the foundations and
the nature of the soil, and the bids were
made after these men had made their report
that the work was feasible.
There may be reasons other than those per
taining to engineering that make it seem
desirable tq the Mayor to secure another re
port, but what they are does not appear. It is
perfectly clear, however, that the new coro
mlaalon of Inquiry is nonsense. It cannot add
to the sum of informatioA now available.
And nothing the Mayor's cpmmlsBiouiaay

SENATOR LODGE
AS A DARK' HORSE
Sage of Nnhant Voted for Dark
Horse in Republican Convention
of 1880 Not an Amateur in
Politics 25 Years in Senate
UP in New England they're hailing Sen
ator Lodge ns tho "logical dark horso"
for tho Chicago convention to nominate. A
dark horse, of course, has no picsldentlal
boom. Ho Is chosen on a theoretical spur of
tho momont. Ho Is tho
more or less suddon solu
tion of a problem. So
there's no boom for Sen
ator Lodge. But they're
talking of him as a dark
horse. Anyway, New Eng
land hasn't had a Presi
dent since Franklin
Pierce. Thero were two

and John Qulncy Adams.
The first dark horso
-y &&"
HBNUY C. l.ODGU
In presidential history was
James It Polk, nominated and elected !nv!844.
In the previous campaign Van Buren had beenj
defeated by "Tlppecanoo and Tyler, too.
Tho Democrats declared that the Whigs had
won by fraud and claptrap. They made
the charge tho first tlmo It had appeared In
connection with national politics that tho
victory had been due to the power of money.
And beforo Harrison was Inaugurated they
had resolved that they would bring Van Buren
forward again and elect htm. In tho next
threo j ears 24 of tho 25 States, in their State
Democratic conventions, pronounced in favor
of Van Buren and moro thnn threo-fourths
of the conventions Instructed their delegates
to Baltimore to support him.
But late In 1843 the' Democrats were dis
cordant. Most of thorn were zealous In their
adherence' to tho fortunes of the ex-President,
but there were other "possibilities" with fol
lowings to be reckoned with. Calhoun de
clined nn Invitation to visit Ohio in a semi
public way on tho ground that he ought not
to do so while his name was before the coun
try as a candidate for Its highest office. Col
onel R. M. Johnson, of Kentucky, who had
been Vice President, made a tour through tho
North In which ho assured the people that
nothing could prevent tho election of Henry
Clay In 184 1 except his own candidacy. Lewis
Cass" boom was assuming considerable pro
portions. James Buchanan had been put for
ward as Pennsylvania's "favorite son."
Texas Defeated "Little Van"
Then the question of the annexation ot
Texas was reopened. The South, with Its
slaveholdlng interests, was strong for bring
ing Texas Into the Union. Clay and Van Buren
Issued statements on the subjects. They
agreed that annexation without the consent
of Mexico would bo dishonorable. They' de
clared themselves opposed to the pending
'treaty with the Texas republic. Van Buren's
stand defeated him. Tho time before the
Baltimore convention was short, but It was
long enough. The two-thlrds rule originally
adopted In 1832, was put Into operation after
a strenuous battle. On the first ballot Van
Buren received 178 of the 266 votes. He held
his own through the day. The eighth ballot
was taken on the second day ot the con
vention. The sensation carefully prepared In
advance by the foes of Little Van was
sprung. A member of the Maine delegation
remarked that it was time "to draw the fire
of Tennessee." The result was announced;
Van Buren, 104; Cass, 114; Polk, 44, It was
the first time that Polk's name had appeared
In the balloting. Before the ninth ballot Van
Buren's name was withdrawn "for the sake
of harmory," as they say in politics. New
York cast Us entire vote to Polk. Delegation
after delegation followed suit and the Ten
nesseean received every single vote in the
convention. The tlrst dark horse was nom
inated and elected.
The Republican convention of 1880 was a
dark-horse convention. Lodge was a delegate
from Massachusetts. As he said to an inter
viewer recently, "I voted for Edmunds and
against Blaine and Grant. However, Massa
chusetts helped to nominate General Garfield,
and my vote was given wth tha rest."
Grant's Elusive Third Term
That convention met at Chicago, The two
strongest candidates were Grant, who had
been President two terms, and James G. Blaine.
John Sherman and George F. Edmunds pos
sessed considerable strength. On the first day
of voting 28 trials to nominate a party candi
date were made. Grant led. the ballots in his
favor fluctuating between 303 and 309. Blaine
followed, wJtW 2T5 to 385 votes. Shermai carte

At the tlmo of his nomination Garfield had
Just been elected a Senator from Ohio for tho
term beginning In 1881. Ho had been a gal
lant general In tho Civil War nnd had served
continuously In tho National Houso slnco tho
war.
Lodge On Leisure
Lodge served In tho Houso from 1887 to 1893,
and since tho latter dato has been a Senator.
His public career is probnbly ns well known
as that of any man In America. Ho Is dis
tinguished ns a scholar and an author. Tho
establishment of International copyright, tho
regulation of Immigration, tho reform of tho
consular service and numerous other ItemB of
notablo legislation havo been largely credited
to him. As a member of tho Foreign Rela
tions Commlttco It foil to him to take chargo
of tho second Hay-Pauncefoto treaty In tho
gficnato and of the treaty establishing tho
(Siaakan tribunal. His recent utterances on
national preparedness nnd natlonnl honor havo
received tho ntteutlon of tho whole country.
It was immediately after his arraignment of
the Wilson administration In a speech at Lj nn
thnt tho talk of Lodge as n dark horso began.
It is expected by his New England friends
thtt as temporary chairman of tho convention
at Chicago ho will sound tho "keynote" of the
Republican campaign. Perhaps they've for
gotten Elihu Root's recent address, but that,
of course, was nn unofficial "keynote."
Henry CaTot Lodgo was born in Boston
May 12, 1850, and now makes his homo in a
picturesque mansion on tho cliffs of Nahnnt,
which Juts out Into Massachusetts Bay, Ho
received an A. B. and Ph. D. at Harvard nnd
was graduate) from tho Harvard Law School.
His legal education ho regarded as simply a
part of his general education. Ho never piac
tlced. But though born to leisure, ho has
always worked. "ThB first tiling for a man of
leisure to do," hi onco remarked, "if ho really
wIbIics to count In his day nnd generation, Is
to avoid being an amateur." On nnother occa
sion he declared , that '"every man should gvo
of his leisure, more owlets, 'o politics, fqr It is
Bimply good citizensluptfor him to do so."
