is my earnest desire that all naval officers
shall pursue a similar course"
In concluding the Secretary deprecates
the practice of some OF the American
newspapers Of frequently enlarging on
minor defects of American ships, as tending
TO in1ure our interests in foreign countries
He says he is credibly informed that GER
tain ship builders of other countries who
were competing last spring with Ameri-
can skip builders for contracts with the
japanese government collected a large
number of very sharp criticisms of Ameri-
can ships and put them all in array be e.
fore the japanese authorities for the pur-
pose OF showing that We do not know how
to build ships in this country.
The press of the country has been gen
orally loyal to the navy" says Secretary
Herbert, "and has been largely instru-
mental In its successful upbuilding and
development; its services in this direction
cannot be too heartily acknowledged. 1
submit Mr.. Cramps letter, however. for
the purpose of pointing out to some of our
newspaper friends the unintentional in
Jurfes to American interests that are liable
to result from enlarging upon minor mis-
takes that may have been committed, even
though at other times full credit be given
for the great and substantial successes
that have been attained

SANTA CLAUS CLUB AGAIN
It Will Celebrate the Holidays by Grand
Pound Party.
Both Children and Grown People Of
to Help the Poor and Needy.

The Evening Star Santa Claus Club will
this year follow the program that was
carried out last year with such good re-
suits. What was, 4 matter of fact A
great big pound party was held under the
auspices of the club, and the provisions
that were received were distributed through
the recognized charity agencies Of the city.
These supplies came at time when they
were most needed and relieved many dis
treased families. Money subscribed to the
fund.- of the club, in accordance with the
spirit and traditions Of the club, was ex-
pended In helping poor little children in the
public schools rhe funds We're used by
the supervising principals of the schools
mainly to buy shoes for INDECENT children.
The Santa Claus Club is and always has
been children's charity. In past years
most of the money collected has been that
received as dues from the members of the
club, thousands of children in the public
schools.
The club is full of the Christmas spirit,
and appeals to the public at the Christmas
time when ones heart is most likely to be
touched by tales of poverty, hunger and
deprivation. 1t has become a recognized
fact that the club, through all its branches,
affords one of the best agencies available
for getting at those VINO need and are
worthy of relief. So last year the whole
community was invited to contribute to a
great pound party. School buildings were
designated as repositories for the supplies
donated. These were gathered up by
wagons sent out by The Evening Star and
then distributed through the Associated
Charities. The pound party this year will
be held the 23d instant. the day the schools
will close for the holidays.
Two purposes will he kept in mind-to
raise fund for the purchase of shoes and
clothing for the children of the poor, so
to enable them to attend sc hool, and TO
collect supply of food and other neces-
saries for the relief of the pressing wants
of young ard old.
Tie pound party will accomplish only the
latter of these ends, and a subscription
list will be opened at The Evening Star
tftice for money gifts to this worthy cause.

None But Ayers at the Worlds Fair.
Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the worlds fair, Chicago. Manufact-
urers of other sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain showing of their
goods, but they were all turned away
under the application OF the rule for
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of the
worlds fair authorities in favor OF Ayers
Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows
"Ayer's Sarsaparilla is not patent
medicine. 1t does not belong to the
list of nostrums. 1t is here on its
merits.'
