Roberts, after seeing the public an
nouncement.- t. t. a u«v. navy was
to bo created, v. as so injudicious -is
to inquire about details, lie finds
th'-i* Mr. Daniels, while in favor of
preparedness, dees not belie\e in
rushing matters. In his recent
stateme.-'* Mr. Daniels told what a
fine navy we had, eveu now, and
spoke of the two dreadnaughts au
thorised by congress, a year ago.
Most of us inferred that the vessels
were already afloat, ere about to
be pu- iu commissi*, u. It seems,
however, that we were far more in
a hurry than Mr. Duuiels is. The
shids have net been built. They
are not now building. If the orders
of the secretary hold good, they
will not be built this year. In
fact, he plans that the keels shall
not be laid iwitil March, 191".
There is an air of calm, studious
deliberation about Josephus's idea
of "oreparedness" that will impress
the public. Most 01" the popular
talk aoout preparedness conveys the
idea that the public wants to feel
safe as soon as possible. The im
pression has spread that the Navy
is not equal to the job that may be
forced cn it at any time, as soon as
the war in Europe ends. But no
body can accuso our Secretary of

the Xavy of heing In any Buch hur
ry. If congress insists on appro
priating money for national defense,
-Mr. iMniels will not stand ia the
way. But when It comes to spend
iuf that money, he prefers that U
shall be done In another administra
tion. By no word or act of his jvlll
he add to the WITson deficit. As
for the navy, hq has come to see
that it is not what it should bo.
But what difference does it make
whether the ships the nation needs
are ready now, or not until 1920
or thereal>outs? So long as the
new uavy exist on paper, what mcve
could any career asi?
In some ways, Mr. Daniels is
really and truly wonderful. Probab
ly uo man just like him has ever
held the navy portfolio. And the
more the country sees of him, the
more -t observes his wholly origin
al idens and policies in that posi
tion, the more one has to admire
the r;gid self-control and patience
of .Mr. Daniel's subordinates, to
say t.« thing of the self-restraint of
his ci'mmander-in-chief. — Boston

CIVIL ACTION' BARKED
An important decision has jU3t
eon rendered by the supreme court
.1 the United States on the Work
men's Compensation law or Wash
ington. The court holds that the
compensation act abolished all
>1 image actions in coiirfs by work
men ei. gaged In hazardous em
ployments, whether against em
ployers or third persons. The act
will put an end to much litigation
uid turn the administration of the
law over to state officials em
powered to handle the mattor in
;ts eutirety. Nothing will be in the
[ way of giving it a fair te&t. All
I the woak places will be discovered
and if amendment Is necessary it
< .1.1 soouer be had than by dragging
cases through weary lengths of liti
gation. Both employers and work
men now know where they stand in
regard to the law and the expense
of nroce«uting and defending causes
in the courts will not ris© to
trouble them. It Js evident that
the state of Washington is In a
J fair way to put a quietus on a vast

J LSI' THINK OF IT
Down iu Astoriii, Ore., is the
Fisherman's Uniou Caunery, which
grew out of a bitter struggle of
the /;ohernien with their masters
some ten years ago. The strike
j was lest and these hardy toiltvra
I of tha sea l>ut together their
' meager resources ana started a
' co-cperative caanery. Today the
' property is valued at $100,000. The
j fishermen receive an average of
$?,000 a year, and in addition
every member of the uniou re
ceived last year an extra bonus
of $1,000.
If Alaska were a state the fish
ermen of Alaska could unite and
co-operate in this way and instead
of $20,000,000 leaving Alaska it
would be spent at home to build uo
other industries. Every Alaskan
should start the agitation Xor state
hood. Delegate Wickersham has
already introduced, his bill for
statehood in congress and the
fight is on for a government by the
people of Alaska. Gel busy. Ev

TO SAVE OAS VICTIM
Chicago, Jan. 1$ — The first
case or blood transfusion in a case
of gas asphyxiation, performed at
the county hospital here ooday, bore
' promise of success.
j Dr. Karl A. .Meyer, who per
j termed the operation on Gustave
.Mussel 1, who was brought to '•he
hospital in a dying condition, said
that the patient continued to gain
'strength, although two or three
. days must elapse bt- >re the experi
i mtnt may be called .ouclusive. Dr.
•Meyer gave credit for the discovery
to Dr. William H. Harineister, cor
oner's physician of Cnicago, who
conducted exhaustive experiments on
auimals.
"Ordinarily Mussell would have
died in an hour," said Dr. Meyer.
Local physicians aid' that the ex
! periment would be watched * with
' great interest by uicdlcal men
I everywhere.
