m3 the American Ship of State drifting? In international affairs our dominant position is rapidly being lost. Does anybody realize it? Does anybody care? At'the close of the World War this country led the world with the League of Nation idea. The Senate turned down the League. Our foot slipped then. President Harding mdde another grasp at world leadership with his Conference on Limitation of Naval Armaments. Out of that came the break-up of the British-Japanese naval, combination, and a treaty which on paper greatly improved our own relative naval standing. Then Congress started to squeeze. Coolidge came along with an “economy” program and squeezed some more. Our enhanced relative naval position becomes a myth. We started, after the war, with the notion of leadership through an idea and an ideal—the League. That was quickly abandoned. Then we turned to force, and at least an entente with Great Britain, through getting her and the Japanese to give up an exclusive two-power protection pact. Now the force policy is being obviously undermined, by cutting (Jown on naval budgets, by refusing to adopt any comprehensive aircraft program, by generally sitting still and letting our whole fighting machine get out of <jlate. At the same time “foreign entanglements” are with us whether or no. American operation of the Panama Canal constitutes a virtual American protectorate over the Republic of Panama, two thousand miles away from our nearest mainland port. We have not only our own Pacific coastline to guard, but the territory of Hawaii, two thousand miles west of San Francisco. We still continue, at a distance of six thousand miles, to govern 11,000,000 Filipino people, gnd hence to be responsible for their peace and security. The Hay doctrine of American responsibility to keep the “open door” in China continuously ajar has never been repudiated or modified by any State Department, i No government can laugh all of this off. If we are going to maintain warbreeding outposts we ought to be prepared to take care of them. We ought to be <in a war footing, navally at least. Or else we ought to be a big gun in international councils, like the Council of the League of Nations. If we are not ready to do either of these things, then we ought at least to reduce our obligations to the confines of the North American continent and the Hawaiian Islands. We shouldn’t be promoting a semi-official Dawes plan in Europe, supporting a tottering Pekin government in China, and educating and governing young Filipinos on the other side of the world. Nobody—almost nobody—thinks about these things.. Not even the State Department, not even the President, according to the things they do, and say. Yet there Is dynamite in all of them. Hence the question, are we drifting? If so, we are likely to drift into some of the dynamite, some of these days. What this country needs is either to be ready for trouble, or to keep out of trouble. What it needs is some sort of a definite foreign policy, recognizable in deeds as well as in words. What we must not do is to go drifting around indefinitely, like a ship without a rudder. This newspaper believes in a policy recognizing the United States as a world power rather than as a strictly North American power—and in this generation, too. We feel it is inevitable for the future, unless the country retrogresses. Nevertheless this newspaper would welcome an exactly opposite policy, should such a policy have the support of the American people as a whole, for this reason: IN NATIONAL AFFAIRS ANY CLEARLY DEFINED AND CONSISTENTLY ACTED UPON POLICY IS BETTER THAN NO POLICY" AT ALL. IT IS BETTER TO SET EVEN AN UNWISE COURSE THAN TO DRIFT.

Who May Become Secretary of War?

Times Washinaton Bureau. 1822 New York Avenue. FTyll ASHINGTON, May 25.—1n Iyy case of the resignation of | - Secretary of War Weeks on account of ill health, who is to be his successor? Up until a week or ten flays ago, Dwight P. Davis of Missouri, assistant secretary of war and at present acting secretary of war, was thought to be likely candidate. But Mr. Davis had a report put on his desk about two months ago —a report made within the War Department on defense tests. Although he was urged to take it to tHe President, for some reason he kept putting it off. Then some reserve officers on fifteen days’ duty made a report on training reserve officers: Just as a tninor part of the report they made tome suggestions about defense tests

Filling Stations as Fire Hazards

To the Editor of The Times: 1*“— WISH to voice a protest against the indiscriminate changes made by our planling and zoning commission. ■ The fundamental purpose of this bommission is to zone the city so {hat the beauty and value of ones’ firoperty in a strictly residential disrict is not depreciated by the erection of some objetcionable building tyhere it ough not to be. A man buys a home or a piece of property ip a choice residential district that (s zoned for residence only, and hlong comes one of the oil companies and buys the choicest corner jot of these “zoned for residence” districts to erect a filling station. It peems that all that is required is for them to apply for a permit from hither the park boa>:d or planning and zoning commission and it is granted without l'ga-d to the need t>f it at this location or the depreciation of all surrounding property, to say nothing of the fire hazard they represent. A trip over our city will disclose filling stations on so many of the choice corners, oftentimes three of them on the corners of the same street. The oil companies seem to think this necessary on account of competition, but it certainly is not necessary for public convenience, and they certainly do not add to the attractiveness of our city but cheapen instead the appearance of neighborhoods, especially boulevards. In these days of improved alleys, it srikes me that /the proper place for a filling station should be in one of these allows and N Uiu not destroy

and Defense day,” proposing among other things that Armistice day be set aside for such purpose. Then, too, they said, “Early and vigorous action on the part of the President is suggested.” Mr. Davis says he did not give this to the newspapers, but somehow ihey got hold of it and played up what was said about defense tests, including that about “early and vigorous action on the part of the President.” The newspapers had been waiting for a long time to get something about defense tests from the official report still reposing on Mr. Davis’ desk. President Coolidge got his first knowledge of any report on defense tests from the newspapers of May 10, and it is said that he was not pleased to read that he should take “early and vigorous action” on something which the Assistant Secretary

the harmony and beauty of our city, and the allley location would not be inconvenient for the motorist. The park board spends many thousands of dollars of the peoples’ money for boulevards and then the board of public works grants permies that destroy their beauty. This is not right, and it is small wonder that the people want a change in city government. Proper zoning of the city will result in increased attractiveness, utility and conserve the value of all property; and by the same token, the frequent changes, which now seem so prevalent, will destroy the very thing the planning and zoning commission was formed for, and make them about as useless as our public service commission. Dependable permanent zoning would act as a perpetual guarantee that one’s investment in a home would be conserved, but what incentive has a man to own a home in Indianapolis when its value at any time may be depreciated by the erection of some undesirable building in the restricted neighborhood- And what recourse have the adjoining property or home owners if a filling station, which constitutes a fire hazard not overlooked by fire insurance companies who, in running up your fire Insurance rates in the vicinity of all gasoline storages, charge you excessive rates for fire insurancq duo to the presence of these filling stations? In this instance there is Just one thing left for the injured property' owners to do, and that is to hfcve ah objectionable filling ' station declared

of War had not brought to his attention. The next day he received the official report on defense tests, together with a call from Mr. Davis, who didn’t stay long. The Republicans now talk of offering the wealthy Mr. Davis as senatorial candidate In Missouri to take the late ‘Senator Spencer's place. If Mr. Davis is eliminated, who then? General Pershing? lie seems like a possible choice, but —General Pershing is not a politician and apparently has no feeling for political preferment. Maj. Gen. ITarbord, now head of the Radio Corporation of America and former Chief of the Staff of the United States Army, has been considered a strong possibility, but it is said his contract with the Radio Corporation still has several years to run.

as a fire hazard nuisance detrimentaal to their property. I have in mind a permit recently granted for the erection of a. filling station on one of our most beautiful boulevards in spit© of proper protests and petitions of t\ hundred signatures of the neighboring property owners against it, and for this reason I wonder if the park board is derelict in its duties, the board of appeals and works care’ess in granting permits, or are a I’ew dollars involved for certain concessions. Mrs. Otto J. Deeds. Coliseum Site To the Editor of The Times: Why don't they cast an eye toward the west when selecting a site for a coliseum? Picture In your mind one located west of Military park on Blake St.c within walking distance of the center of the city, the Union Station, Interurban Traction Station, Bus Terminal and all the hotels and theaters. It would have railroad switching to the very door and plenty of parking space. It is the proper situation for an armory with Military park for a drill ground, and with street car service on a loop arpund the park. It is a noiseless neighborhood where music and speaking could b© appreciated and heard, where property is cheap, but would be considerably advanced by the erection of such a building. It ig Jhat part of Indianapolis where at one timefcpme of the finest homes in the city BtrC located. George W. June.

RIGHT HERE

IN INDIANA

-By GAYLORD NELSON

INCREASE IN MURDERS mERRY KINNEY, inspector of detectives, reports fewer murders in Indianapolis this year than for the previous two years. So far in 1925 there have been fourteen murders here while in 1924 there were forty. A recent survey by the Prudential Life Insurance Company shows that there has been an increase in murders in seventy-five

leading cities of the country. Therefore, compared with other cities, the murder industry is languishing in Indianapolis. It is almost a civilized community. Still. In proportion to population, there are about twelve times ns many murders in this city this year ns in England. So even the decrease recorded

Nelson

is nothing to crow over. America leads-the world in humanitarian work. Untold millions are spent to'give babies a better chance to live, to combat tuberculosis and other plagues, and in public health measures. One would almost think that here human life is highly regarded. On the contrary, Judging from our murder statistics, human life in America is ridiculously cheap. We merely save the babies from the bugs and fatten them for the six-shooter. Apparently the same humanltarianism that Impels us to squash unmercifully the typhoid and measles germ restrains us from doing more than say “tut! tut!” to our murderers. WAR ON ’ * BILLBOARDS E lE Indianapolis park board is at war with the company whose billboards clutter up the boulevards. The other day it withheld permission to repair one of the signs until an investigation could be made. “While we were spending the public's money to create a system of beautiful boulevards and parks,” declared Charles A. Bookwaiter, park board president, “this company was daunting their signs to mar our efforts.” The case of public vs. billboards could not be put more succinctly and neatly. Even the most enthusiastic defender of billboards does not claim they are works of art or enhance the beauties of the landscape. They are glaring eyesores. They erupt all ,nver the landscape and turn the beauties of nature into a commert iallzed nightmare. Billboard interests estimate the value of scenerv in square feet of billboard space; And they have made it profitable for they boast that theirs is the fifth largest industry in the country. But if landscape is only of value ae* billboard sites why not lease for that purpose the Statehouse grounds or the War Memorial Plaza? To the public there is greater value fn beautiful boulevards and drives than In billboards. Therefore any steps to suppress billboards is in the public Interest—though it injures the fifth largest Industry in the country. First Vanity Case LONDON, May 25.—One of the earliest known vanity bags has been discovered in the ruins of the ancient colony of Olbia, which flourished in the fifth century. Searching the tombs, a Professor Zuffer found a small bag of linen which resembling rouge and a pencil for darkening the eyebrows.

When and by whom was the first automatic train control In America patented, and was it successful? The first was patented July 13, 1880, by Joseph Wood and Axel S. Vogt. It consisted essentially of a glass tube which. In case of danger, was to hit a track trip. Later it was modified to go on top of the engine cab. The Pennsylvania tested it out for a time, but as the tube broke in a tunnel and nearly suffocated a train load of passengers, the test was discontinued. No further efforts were made to develop automatic stop or control devices until 1910 when the device now in use in the Hudson tubes, New York, and those under the North and East Rivers. New York, were developed and adopted. Since that time tests and investigations have been carried on almost continuously. Why is the white potato called the Irish potato? Because of its general cultivation and use in Ireland.

BRIDGES AND APPROACHES ®PPRO ACHES to the Delaware St. bridge over Fall Creek will be constructed soon, members of the board of works announced recently. The coats of the work have been apportioned. The project now awaits appropriation by the council for the city's share, winter his bridge was dedicated and opened to traffic by heavy city dignitaries. Since then the north side has Jolted its internal economy out of alignment in getting on and off the bridge. There busses and autos have leaped from one rugged peek to another—like the agile chamois —or wallowed from quargmire to sinkhole, depending on the state of the weather, because the approaches were not constructed. Apparently it did not occur to municipal authorities that a bridge without approaches is an empty artistic and engineering triumph. Such forgetfulness is characteristic of much street and highway construction. Bridge and road building never proceed hand in hand. One is always several jumps ahead of the other. Detours on a dozen State roads are necessary because of dilatory bridge projects. Months ago pavement on the Michigan road between Indtanapolis and Shelbyville was completed. Still a Jolting detour of eleven miles is necessary v’hlle two bridges are being constructed. Millions may he spent in surfacing thoroughfares and other millions in constructing bridges. What's the use of all the expenditure unless paving the bridge projects coincide? A road is only as Hood as its detours—and a bridge no better than its approaches. CHANGE OF VENUE OVERWORKED mUDGE JAMES A. COLr DINS, In granting a change of venue in the Stephenson case Saturday, condemned the law by which trials are so easily transferred. He believes the practice is unfair to judges in adjoining counties. | “The change of venue law is worked overtime in Indiana,” ht asserted. “Indianapolis is one of the few large cities where the presiding Judge of the Criminal Court in sworn off the bench in important criminal cases.” • Os course to insure to every defendant impartial trial there must be some provision to escape a prejudiced or hostile public opinion bubbling at fever heat. But in Indianapolis the change of venue is invoked not as a last resort to prevent injustice, hut as an ordinary legal stratagem. Asa result Marlon County’s criminal business has slopped over and clogs the courts of all adjoining counties. Five important murder cases from this county are pending in other counties and Marion’s prosecuting attorney must lope from court to court like an itinerant circuit rider. All at added expense to the taxpayer. Perhaps in some of these cases there are grounds justifying transfer. In most of them however the defendants probably will not secure fairer, more impartial trials, in consequence. Very seldom is public passion so inflamed over a crime as to preclude fair trial. Frequently lofty sentiments are uttered by bar associations on reforms of judicial proceedure—but nothing is done. Lawyers themselves oppose reforms. Collectively they favor abstract justice. But the Individual criminal lawyer is out to win his client's case, not to expedite administration of Justice. Consequently he takes advantage of every technicality —and the change of venue is worked to death.

Our Hero This Time Returns to His Home Town But Finds Temperature Changeable

By Walter D. Hickman J HEN a fellow makes good In YY/ the world, the home town . Tfolks are glad—but surprised. That is what George Ade thinks about it and he expresses under his

own name at the close of his movie story, "Old Home Week.” Ade knows his Main St. arid Thomas Meighan isn't dumb on the q u eetion either. Ade and Meighan generally can be counted upon as a pretty good combination. Meighan has l>een slipping lately as far as his popular hold Is concerned with his public. People like to see him as a Main Bt. hero, a sort of

movie edition of William Hodge in his early days on the stage. Rather think that “Old Home Week” will do a lot toward putlng movie fans in a better mood with Meighan. Abe’s stories always possess a certain definite sparkle and Meighan reflects that sparkle on the screen. "Old Home Week” Is the story of a Main Rt. lad who goes away from home to make his fortune. His business card shows that he Is the president of an oil company. He is hut the company is a two man gasoline filling station for autos with few autos present. Meighan is the president who Is Invited to return horn during Old Home Week celebration. By luck, our hero gets on the private car of a former Main St. lad who is returning home in real glory for the celebration. This makes our hero shine like anew silver hollar, hut it puts him In a false light when he lands home. Before he does actually make good, he catches a bunch of real oil crooks. This sketch of the play may seem slim, but the story comes to life under the spell of Meighan. Lila Lee and a half dozen or more who impersonate small town types. There are lot of homey Jokes in this comedy, one of those neighborly sort of pictures that w-e like. It Is as clean as a hound's tooth. Os course, that statement might injure the box office a little but I will risk it. “Old Home Week” is good entertainment. I will appeal to the whole family.

Workin’atHome By Hal Cochran Whatever your business; whatever your trade, you find that your progress is often delayed. And then, when behind, you decide .’twill be great to work some at home Just to catch up to date. You dine in a hurry, then clear off the table, and settle to do Just as much a* you’re able. The plan. I’ll agree, is a good one, at that, but how often the little folks knock the work flat. As soon as you’ve started, there's trouble on tap, for a youngster will suddenly hop on your lap. Your pencil is seized and the dear little tad, shouts, “Draw me a cow and a man, will ya dad?” ’Tis well that you wait ‘till the tots are in bed, for then, in the quiet, you’ll plow right ahead. An hour or two later, your thoughts buried deep. Then wifey complains that you're losin’ your sleep. The trouble, perhaps, is it’s easy to shirk in the regular hours, ’stead of doing your work The thought of the home work, no doubt, may be fun, but with kiddies around—well. It Just can't be done. ,
