ROULETTE AT MONTE CARLO.

Joa Chappie, In National Magazine. In the office of a Congressman, I met a gentleman who strikingly resembled In personal appearance Premier Asquith of England. When I mentioned this. General Roulette the guest remarked that while traveling In Europe he had been taken, many times, for the English Premier. He related an amusing incident of his visit to Monte Carlo.

"After registering at the hotel," said he, "the manager Immediately scanned the name and thought some distinguished man was using the name as an "Incognito" Joke. He accosted me with rather sharp questions, and I told him to wait until I was settled In my room. He came up as soon as possible, and with due dignity I told him that I was a lineal descendant of the man who Invented the table on which fortunes have been won and lost at Monte Carlo. Immediately there was a change in the manner of the ubiquitous manager, and he bowed and scraped as if I were some great potentate. His automobile, all rights of the Casino and royal privileges of Monte Carlo were thrust upon me." He went on to tell that newspaper dispatches carried the thrilling tale abroad.

The manager was nonplussed when the presumed lineal descendant of the original Roulette refused to ride Into further fame upon the wheels bearing his name. Later it was discovered that General Roulette was an American militia officer in charge of the National Guard of Maryland, who knew how to make good use of his name at place where the divinity of roulette wheel holds undisputed sway. The name of that has created the wealth of the little empire on the shores of the Mediterranean was carried back to Hagerstown.

The conference yesterday between Joscphus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, and Rear Admiral Usher, commanding the Brooklyn Navy Yard, had lo do primarily with a problem grow-iug more urgent as the weeks go on. It is said that at least 300 more skilled machinists could and would be employed if they were available. Secretary Daniels is quoted as saying: When I first took office wa had so many skilled laborers in the Government employ that many had to be laid off. Now there is a big difference. The munitions factories and private plants of one sort and another have absorbed labor.

We are, however, getting the problem straightened out- The optimism of Secretary Daniels Is Inevitable and proverbial. But 111 the labor market the United States Is on a competitive basis with all other employers, so far as it engages machinists by the day, giving them no guarantee of continued employment Salaried employees under civil service rules can afford to keep on drawing less than they could make elsewhere. Machinists cannot And while the demand grows In munitions factories, the famine of such help in the Navy Yard will not abate much, unless or until the Government bids higher than It has yet chosen to bid for the men It needs. Meanwhile, the Navy Yard's need is fully as pressing as the munitions factories' need. This Is for the present the only yard where a first-class battleship can be built.

It should not be crippled by parsimony In wage-fixing. It will not be so crippled if the influence of Secretary Daniels is wisely exerted. Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, there is nothing of the sort and everybody is aaentha. I4.H0 I year, 18.00. fond.y Eaile, I rear.

About a month ago Carranza threat ened this country with an "appeal to the Trainmen's Brotherhood thus states the attitude of the unions: The strike vote will be taken and preparations will be made for carrying out the wishes of the men. tat The war will have absolutely no effect on our program.

We would provide enough men to operate troop and supply trains. The last suggestion Is' arrant nonsense. Suppose a great and bitter arms." Two or three days ago, Secre tary Lansing warned the First Chief Frank H. Mason, dead at 76, former editor of the Cleveland Leader, had done bis duty everywhere. He fought custom swindlers at Basel, Switzerland, saving Uncle Sam $1,000,000.

He faced cholera epidemics at Marseilles unflinchingly. And, retiring for age from the consular service, he headed the American ambulance movement In Paris and stuck till the end came. His record is inspiring. that the execution of this threat would "lead to the gravest consequences." "SPLASH WEEK." There is good sense as well as plc-turesqueness In Borough President Marks' plan to turn the week of July Fourth Into "splash week" along the Manhattan waterfront. Some 458 persons were drowned In the waters about the city last year and President Marks' Idea Is to reduce the danger of water sports, even as the speed regulations seek to reduce the number of street accidents.

Accordingly week after next will be devoted to teaching to swim every one who applies at the floating baths In Manhat strike were to develop. Suppose Yesterday war was begun. The story of the first battle has yet to be told in full, but an apparently truthful account of it describes it as a brief but bloody encounter, preceded by the use THE SUBMARINE MAIL. Merely as a daring exploit the arrival of the German submarine U-35 at Cartagena, Spain, with a letter from the Kaiser to King Alfonso, does not surpass other feats of German U-boats, DANGEROCS SAFETY. "The delegates who nominated Mr.

Fairbanks had learned nothing from either Tyler or Andrew Johnson," observes the New Republic. "Such a nomination, made in cynical lndffer-ence to the possibility that a Vice President, may become President, gives point to Roland G. Usher's remark that to the American mind a contingent danger is no danger at all. Mr. Fairbanks lives in a doubtful Slate, where he has endeared himself to Republicans who have been post-', masters and to Republicans who hope' to be postmasters.

He is popular with' the small office-holding clas3, and he ought to be. His political views are theirs. The horizon of their political world Is his. By diligence he has 'secured their favor, and it is not recorded that his mental power ever excited envy in the bosom of any mortal man or woman. His perfect medioc-rity will do no one any harm unless he is put into a position which calls for brains and a strong character.

Thla is about as far as it is safe to go In praise of the man the Republicans have nominated for Vice President, unless you care to add that bo far as the public remembers his utterances, he has never said so many positively foolish things as Mr. Marshall. Personal and Impersonal trains to carry food to our big cities were tied up, and an effort to put on strikebreakers were in progress.

It Is but natural that Interest for the moment centers in the officers and men of the U-boat now complacently anchored alongside the Spanish cruiser Catnluna, In Cartagena harbor. They are doubtless candidates In good standing for Iron Crosses. At the same time the world has a pardonable curiosity regarding the nature of the message that called for the initiation of this novel mail service. The announcement that It was simply a word of thanks to the Spanish monarch for a reception given Interned Germans from Kamerun Is not very convincing. Emperor Wilhelm is not risking submarines In such trivial undertakings.

Preliminary notice was not served upon Pershing. Time Is ripe for action, short and and decisive. Hours, not days, should be given to Carranza to declare himself.

CHEAPER "CAS" COMING. Those who follow such matters will remember about two years ago when announcement was made of the process of producing gasoline worked out by Dr. Walter F. Itittman of the Bureau of Mines.

Since that time the process has become a commercial success, and a company has been formed to exploit the process, chiefly in foreign countries. In and Chemical Engineering for June 15 an estimate is given showing the cost of making gasoline by this process, which was furnished by the Burceu of Mines. The estimated cost of a five-tube plant is $20,000. The net monthly capacity Is 6.000 barrels. Tield of gasoline, 850 barrels.

With fuel oil at 50 cents per barrel gasoline will cost 7.8 cents per gallon: with fuel oil at $1, gasoline will cost 9.47 cents: with fuel oil at $2.10. gasoline will cost 13.9 cents. These figures are estimates based on a five-day test. PARTY PLATFORMS. IFrom Collier's Weekty.l Some folks take platforms very solemnly in spite of the political history of the United States in the last sixty years the period during which the country has heard most about "platforms." The Boston Christian Science Monitor recently observed that "from the politician's standpoint the best platform is the one that means most approved things to the greatest variety of "voters." This is a sound statement, and explains why some platforms contain so many of what Colonel Roosevelt calls.

In his pictographic stvle. "weasel words." The ultimate test of a party platform is the character and past performance of the men standing on that platform. between Alfonso and the Kaiser. The Aldermen of Irish blood who voted it down are men of good sense and real city fathers. There are better Meantime, submarine postal service, while extremely novel, Is not likely to be developed on a very large scale.

In the nature of things it is largely a one-way service. The Kaiser has demonstrated that he can get a message past the Allied censors, but it remains to be seen if he is equally suc RIGGS BANK GETS ITS CHARTER. The backdown of Controller John Skelton Williams In granting the renewal of the charter of the Riggs National Bank of Washington Is not particularly graceful, but It probably ends a controversy that Is without precedent In the banking world. The Controller repeats the charges of irregularities made against the bank, but declares that the officers of the Institution have signed a written pledge to avoid all such Irregularities In the future, and that refusal to renew the charter would injure a large number of innoceut stockholders. The Riggs Bank accused Controller Williams of conspiring to hurt its business.

He accused the bank officers of perjury. A jury acquitted them. Theu Williams won a partial victory In the decision of Judge McCoy, sustaining the powers he had sought to exercise over Ihe bank, but voiding the fine he had imposed on the ground that it was not Imposed on the officers named by the statute as responsible, or not on all the officers named in the law. It is a good thing to have the struggle ended. The Riggs Bank is closely identified with the National City Bank of New York, and the biggest financial interests of the metropolis.

The National City has been doing more than any other one force to help the Administration in its anxious effort to get for the United States the South American trade. The Treasury Department and the Administration should work with the big bankers, not against them. Harmony is very important. The Interests of the country demand a pull all together for commercial supremacy. at Camp Whitman.

Joseph Knowles. an artist, who several years ago went into the Maine woods and supported himself for two months without a match, a jack-knife or a fish-hook. Is about to enter the Adirondacks for a similar contest with nature without any of the aids which civilization has created for Its conquest. Knowles' first adventure was an experiment, and all that the world learned about it was through the ingenious stories of his shifts that the artist told when he came out. This time Knowles wants witnesses to follow on his trail, to convince the world that man is still able to cope with nature single handed.

In Maine Knowles built a fire by rubbiug sticks, as savages do; be trapped game and fish which he had no weapons either to shoot or to hook, and he made himself clothing out of the skins of bear or deer. He will very likely be able to repeat his shifts this time. The experiment makes a novel summer vacation, and he maybe able to interest a few men In camping by means of It. But except as a summer "stunt" why any man should waste time In trapping fish which he might more easily catch with a hook and line, or game which he might more readily shoot, or wear a bear skin when khaki is more comfortable, we fall to see. Except at the poles, there are no longer open spaces in which this sort of skill In living off the country would be valuable, and Arctic explorers carry rifles and matches not to mention pemmican and moving picture machines.

Rountree of Texas in his opening address as president of the National Editorial Association, deserves earnest consideration. Some of the measures are not gravely harmful. The one to which Mr.

Rountree alludes SUWUaWaWWMIHIHMWIIIIiniMWnillim i as a "press-muzzling" proposition has actually passed the House and is pending in the Senate. It is pernicious through and If the Senate does not defeat It, a veto by President Wilson should come promptly.

The parallel is very close.

President Wilson In sending troops into Mexican territory without Congrt-ssltmul action did precisely what President Polk had done. Our claim was that the region between the Nueces and the Rio Grande belonged to Texas, but that did not alter the Mexican view. In IStfi the movement of Taylor's troops to the neighborhood of Mata- began on March S. The Pershing and Dodd forces in the expedition of this year crossed the border on March 15. On April 1Mb', General Ampu-dla, conmiandlug at Mala moras, ordered General Taylor to break camp and return to his own territory within twenty-four hours, exactly as Carranza ordered the withdrawal of Pershing a few days ago.

Taylor also "took orders only from his government." He stayed. What followed is told In a message of President Polk to Congress, dated May 11. lMti, In which the President til id: No open act of hostility was committed until 24th of April. On that day General Arista, who had succeeded to the command of the forces, communicated lo General Taylor that "he considered hostilities had 'and should prosecute them."
