hj Not Face the Facts
About Armor Competition?
To the People:
The policy of the United States Government for many years has made real competition in
armor-making ineffective. .
The Government might have asked the three armor plants for bids and let the entire
tonnage to the lowest bidder. That would have made competition effective.
The result of such a course would have been to drive two of the three manu
facturers out of business, and leave the country with facilities of only one
pLant in time of need.
The Government in fact has always asked for bids from
the three manufacturers, but no matter what the pri ?
quoted, each year's business was divided among them.
Armor makers serve but one customer the Government, just as a public utility
serves but one customer a community.
The solution of the public utility problem is regulation of rates.
The solution of the armor problem is for the Government to fix the price.' j
We voluntarily agree to accept any price fixed by the Federal Trade Commission.
Isn't acceptance of that offer better than the destruction of an industry built solely
to serve the Government?

CROUD IN COLI
SEUM CHIEFLY
CONCERNED IN
AUDITORIUM
Opening Gathering of Republicans
Reminiscent of Convention
In Baltimore, 1900.
Chicago, 111., June 7. The repub
lican national convention assembled
in the Coliseum today heard a key
note speech delivered by Senator
Warren G. Harding of Ohio, perfect
ed an organization and adjourned un
til 11 o'clock tomorrow morning. It
all took just two hours and in its lack
of demonstrations or outbursts of any
kind and its strict attention to the
business in hand, was reminiscent of
the Philadelphia convention of 1900
that nominated McKinley and Roosevelt.
For one hour and twenty minutes
Senator Harding, temporary chair
man, delivered a carefully prepared
speech, punctuated in the telling
points with brief periods of hand-:
clasping and applause, but at no time
did a demonstration occupy more than
a half minute by the watch.
The convention was twenty-five
minutes behind the hour arranged for
its assembly, but when Chairman
Hilles of the republican national com
mittee brought down his gavel at
11:25 o'clock, it moved quietly and
with precision until adjournment at
1:25.
Wonder What Others Doing.
Those of the old time leaders pres
ent who used to march down the
aisles to their seats to the tune of
an uproar, walked in today almost
unrecognized. W. Murray Crane, Sen
ator Lodge, Reed Smoot and a lot
of the others came in practically un
noticed, probably because a majority
of the delegates did not even know
them by sight. Chauncey Depew was
surrounded by a small admiring
group. Senator Penrose got a recep
tion from his own delegation. Gov
ernor Whitman was recognized by
some, but on the whole the conven
tion was more , interested in wonder
ing what was going on in the Audi
torium than it was in the arrival of
the men who hitherto have decided
what the convention should do with
itself.
The hour for assembling was set
for 11 o'clock, but there was no sem
blance of order at that time and no
one made any pretense of securing it.
The delegates stood about the floor
and talked, the spectators overflowed
into the spaces reserved for the dele
gates, and hundreds of seats on the
floor and in the galleries were empty.
Finally Chairman Hilles gave signs
of calling the convention to order
and the uniformed police began mov
ing about urging the delegates into
their places.
Finally, at 11:28 o'clock, Chairman
Hilles brought down the gavel with
jthree resounding whacks and quiet
settled down over the big hall.
"Patriotism in Politics."
"The hour of 11 o'clock having
arrived and a quorum being present,"
said he, "the convention will be in
order. Paraphrasing a remark made
by the late President McKinley, this
is a year whatever may have been
true of past years when politics is
patriotism and patriotism is politics.
Therefore the audience will please
rise and sing two verses of 'Amer
ica.' "
The band launched into the air, and
led by a male quartet, the floor and
galleries joined in a mighty chorus
that swept through the big Coliseum.
There was a moment of confusion at
the end of the singing as the dele
gates found their seats again and
then the Rev. John Timothy Stone of
Chicago read a prayer.- The big audi
ence remained seated at his request.
Secretary Reynolds then read the
call for the convention, which was
published last December. It was only
a formality. None of the delegates
wanted to hear it and so they talked
and moved about while Mr. Reynolds
kept on. This "over, Chairman Hilles
presented Senator Harding of Ohio
as temporary chairman and put the
question.
Appeals for Harmony.
A rolling chorus of "ayes" swept
the hall and former Senator Crane,
Senator Borah of Idaho and former
Representative W. B. McKinley were
appointed a committee to escort Mr.
Harding to the platform. The Idaho
delegation, announced ;. that Senator
Borah was unavoidably absent, so -Mr
Crane and Mr. McKinley marched up
with Mr. Harding. H,is appointment
was the signal for the first genuine
outburst of applause, but it was brief
and he plunged ito his prepared
speech, appealing for harmony, coun
sellirig the delegates that it was not

a time for "recrimination, but a day
of reconsecration."
He spoke more than an hour, re
ferring seldom to his manuscript, and
interrupted frequently by applause
and cheers as he scored the demo
cratic administration for inefficiency,
incapacity and extravagance, and de
clared the republican party's alleg
iance to protective tariff and national
defense. He closed with a peroration
on Americanism and republicanism,
which was marked with applause last
ing less than a minute. The delegates
rose to their feet, some cheers, some
hats were thrown into the air, and
there was some waving of handker
chiefs, but they settled down quickly
and the temporary chairman recog
nized in rapid succession speakers
from the floor who offered the cus
tomary resolutions for perfecting the
temporary organization. That was

of the committees were announced,

engaged this superior British armada
and with what result? The English
fleet was beaten. The first big blow
was dealth the English fleet, whose
tyrannical supremacy was shattered.
"The news electrified the world and
caused unprecedented jubilation ev
erywhere that German hearts beat.
Your success in the North sea fight
means that you have added a new
chapter to the history, of the world.
God Almighty steeled your arms and
gave you clear eyes to accomplish
this.
"I, standing here today as your su-
j preme war lord, thank you from the
bottom of my heart. As the repre
sentative of the fatherland, I thank
you, and in the name of my army I
bring you its greetings because you
have done your duty unselfishly and
only with the one thought that the
enemy must be beaten.
"At a time when the enemy is slow
ly being crushed before Verdun and
when our allies have driven the Ital
ians from mountain to mountain you
add new glories to our cause. The
woild was prepared for everything,
but net for the victory of the German
fleet over the English. The start
which you have made will cause fear
to creep into the bones of the enemy.
What you have done you did for the
fatherland, that in the future it may
have freedom of the seas for its com
merce. Therefore I ask you to join
me in three cheers for our dearly
beloved fatherland."
Emperor Thanks Men of Fleet, Who
He Says Have Broken
Supremacy.
Berlin, June 7. (Via London.) In
the complete account of the emperor's
speech to the sailors of the fleet at
Wilhelmshaven yesterday, which was
published here today, the emperor is
quoted as having said that the great
naval battle off Jutland has destroyed
Ereat Britain's supremacy on the sea.
"When the great war came," said
the emperor, "envious enemies sud
denly attacked the fatherland. The
army, by desperate fighting against
superior foes, slowly conquered them
one after another. But the fleet
waited in vain for a real fight. In
numerous individual encounters the
navy clearly demonstrated its heroic
spirit, but v.'as forced to wait month
after month for a general battle.
"Repeated efforts wrere made to
bring the enemy out, but they proved
fruitless until the day finally came
last week when-the gigantic fleet of
Albion, ruler of the seas since
Trafal gar was fought 100 years ago,
appeared in the open, surrounded
