Mr. Brynn, reproving tho president sharply for quoting Bible' authority In support of military preparedness, ?ayd I'What tho World: needs today Is a Pohtocost, not on Armageddon." True enough. But what the-.world IA jmvlng today Is on Armageddon, not a. FiJitecost. The d-Vlerenco between Mf. Bryan and Mr.. Wilson is that Mr. Bryan wants the United States to equi itself for tho Pentecost that wo all wish'tho worhi was having, , whllo Mr: Wilson wants tho United States to ?qulp Itself for the Peutccoat that we destruction in tho .Armageddon, that tho world actually ls having. .

TRANSPORT SERVICE STORY OF ll -.London, Nov. 12.-"Frdm the point of view of the shipping man, the whole history of the war Us far as the trans port BOTVICO 1B concerned ls a wick ed story of Ignorance, ineptitude and colossal waste," declares tho editor of Syren and Shipping, the leading Journ al of the shipping trade. Ho adds: "Costly and useful ships were UBed for mon tim Ss drlson ships. Suner shlps like Ute Aqu'ttanla were employ ed on scouting missions, their -mag nificent passenger equipment gutted. Ships were allowed to lodd cargo or to book a full passenger Hst and then owners were Informed that tho Ad miralty required these boats." An Instance ls-given of\a 7,000-ton boat which was all ready to sail with 200 passengers when lt was taken over and sent empty 'to .tho west coast of South America, although it might havo boen loaded with coal and real ized a small fortune. Another caso is given of a 6,000-ton boat at Hue!ve about to load with a cargo, of iron ore for England which ;was requisition ed suddenly and seht empty to. the Pacific, although, there - should huv$ been plenty of merchant.ships avail able much nearer the desired do.st'na-: tion.
