Hearst paper*. In advance of
other American newspapers,
exposed the fact that the American
navy was not much more than halt-
manned.
The Hearst papers made the state
ment. later so emphatically confirmed,
that not a battleship in the *reat
Hudson River display of last October
could have gone out to sea to fight
without a shortage of from three to
f\ye officers and a shortage of from
lfiO to 300 men.
There newspapers developed the
fact that few men were enlisting in
the navy and gave the cause for this
In the fact that our navy offered so
few inducements and attractions for
American youths to enlist in that
branch of our country’s service.
The Hearst papers are now able to
give the first exclusive information
that these unfavorable conditions are
to be changed.
Information comes from the Navy
Department that Secretary Daniel*
has caught the progressive movement
urged so long in these newspapers and
is going to make the American navy
a more attractive and a more profit
able place for the American youth
who Is willing to serve his country
and does not desire altogether to
forget himself.
Ships as Naval Schools.
The Secretary of the Navy plan
•hat hereafter every battleship and
war vessel shall be a naval school —
an industrial school—-a school of the
sciences and incidentally of the arts.
When the Secretary’s plans are com
peted there will go out from Annapo-
is with every naval vessel a corp
;.f trained instructors to teach th
jailors and enlisted men. This corps
r>f instructors will be reinforced by
,he educated officers of each ship.
A battleship will hereafter be n.o
idle place even In peace, and the ei
listed man who binds himself to three
years in the service of his country's
navy can emergt* at the end of his
service, if he has will and intelli
gence, with an educational equipment
lor a profession by which he can sus
tain himself in the world.
The three-year enlisted man ol the
navy who will avail himself of these
new and admirable advantages can
come out a skilled engineer, a navi
gator. a machinist or any one of a
half-dozen skilled professions that
point the way to success in life.
Lewie Nixon has said that An nap
oils is the best engineering school
in the country and its graduates a.»
leathers ought to do great things for
the American sailors in three diligent
years.
More Frequent Cruises.
The Secretary plans more frequent
cruises to foreign ports, .-•o that the
education of travel and observation
may be added to a sailor'fc opportu
nities on shipboard.
And last, but nut least, the new
Secretary of the Navy expresses the
intention with all his infiuenee and
authority to insist upon the recog
nition of the individuality and man
hood of individual seamen. An Amer
ican sailor is promised that here
after he shall be regarded, not only
as \ fighting machine, but as a man
and treated as one.
This last is in line with the re
rent movement so ably pressed in
the navy by men like Captain Ben
son and Commander White and other
vigorous and progressive officers of
the service.
The result of this -new and ad
mirable policy will be to fill half-
empty Iiets of the navy and to make
it, not a place for young men to
bury themselves for three years and
come out unfit to makt a living, but
to be educated in mind, body and
spirit by the finest of teachers, and
come out in three years as all-round
men, equipped in health and courage
and manliness and with a practical
profession in life.
School for Deserters.
Secretary Daniels further Intends io
reform the system of punishment for
desertions by sending young desert
ers. first to prison and afterward to
the place of reform, but to send each
of them first to that notable school
at Port Royal. S. C.. where they will
be built up in character and patriot
ism and an understanding of a cltl-
xenV and a soldi* r'* duty, and if they
ire docile and receptive to reinstate
them in the navy without a prison
f ernX
These are wholesome reforms, and
Secretary Daniels is to be congratu
lated upon the good sense he has
manifested in adopting them.

In the last ten years the United
j States has piled up an export b il-
I ance, in merchandise, of $4,700,-
' 000,000.
During the same period we have:
imported, on balance, less than $90,-
000,000 of golj.
* * *
Since January 1 last we have ship- <
ped abroad $195,000,000 more mer
chandise than we have bought fro.n j
foreigners, yet France has taken from j
us more than $35,000,000 gold and we
have exported for European account. j
some $25,000,000 to South America.
• * ♦ \
How can we be forced by Europe
t<* part with $60,000,000 gold this
year when we have a “favorable”
trade balance of $539,000,000 for the
current fiscal year?
* * •
I have been asked repeatedly dur-
ing the last few weeks to explain,
in simple language, the reasons un
derlying a movement so perplexing
on its surface.
• r, I
America has an enormous "in
visible” balance against her ever/
year. Experts estimate that Ameri
can tourists now leave $500,000,000 in
Europe every summer, while Ameri- j
can residents abroad spend at. least j
million dollars a day, all drawn j
from this country. Then, thanks io
our miserable merchant marine, we j
have to pay $300,000,000 annually for j
freights. So great is the mass of j
American securities owned by for- j
eigners that the yearly payments in (
interest and dividends aggregate i
something like $500,000,000. Foreign
ers working here remit $1,000,000 ev
ery business day to their folks at

TWO NEWS ITEMS
INDIVIDUAL TRUSTEE
DISSIPATES ESTATE
Georgia newspapers the other
day gave an account of the dissi
pation of an estate which left a
young lady penniless. The father,
who had a comfortable business in
a Georgia city, died several years
ago, leaving his only child, a daugh
ter. an estate of $3o,000. A man.
a friend of the family, who was
then considered honest and capable,
was appointed trustee for the
daughter’s property. On coming of
age she called upon him for an ac
counting and delivery of her in
heritance and HE IMMEDIATELY
DISAPPEARED. Ho is still among
the ‘‘missing.’’ and THE YOUNG
LADY’S INHERITANCE IS
GONE.
TRUST COMPANY OF GA.
DOUBLES THIS ESTATE
The other news item, not here
tofore published, relates to an At
lanta lad\ who died, leaving an
only child, a son of ten years. SHI'
HAI> WISELY MADE A WILL IN
WHICH THE TRUST COMPANY
OF GEORGIA was appointed EX
ECUTOR and GUARDIAN of the
property of tier son. From his In
heritance. which was officially ap-
praised at $16,500. the boy was
supported comfortably and given a
college education. When he reach
ed his majority, less."'van a month
ago, the TRUST (t.Ml’AXY OF
GEORGIA, his Guardian, turned
over to him property appraised at
$.‘.1,345, thus, with his maintenance,
more titan doubling the estate.

Taking our merchandise export ba!
ance at $500,000,080 a year and th.;
“invisible” account against us ft
$2,000,000,000, there is a net balance
AGAINST us of $1,500,000,000. Th !3
has to be met chiefly by sales of
American security to foreigners,
mostly Europeans.
• # *
Therefore. Europe by stopping her
purchases of our investments or by
returning a small part of her hold
ings, can get gold from us in pay
ment whenever she wants it, broadly
speaking. We are without such means
to check gold shipments as European
countries possess, for ours is a Gres'
gold market, whereas a premium can
be imposed abroad.
* * *
It is high time we did more of our
own carrying trade. The short
sighted, old fashioned theory is that
America can employ her capital for
more profitable purposes and that it
IS all right to let foreigners do our
shipping. BUT. VIEWED FROM
THE BROADEST STANDPOINT,

SHOULD BE WITHOUT SHIPS.

V^HE way, led along upon what had
IJf once been the embankment of a
railroad. But no train had run
upon it for many years. The
forest on either side swelled up
the slopes of the embankment
and crested across it in a green
wave of trees and bushes
The trail was as narrow as a man’s body, and
was no more than a wild-animal runway. Occa
sionally, a piece of rusty iron, showing through the
forest mould, advertised that the rail and the ties
still remained. In one pfacc.l a ten-inch trec^
ing through at a connection, had lifted^
rail clearly into view. Thc/tie had,
