HAWAII IS ESSENTIAL
NOT TO ANNEX HER WOULD BE
SUICIDE.
Address to Berkeley Students by Lieu
tenant Sidney \. Cloman on Its Ma
val and Military Value.

BERKELEY, April 19.-The ire
mendous Importance to the future Of
the United States of the annexation
of the Hawaiian Islands was the sub
ject of lecture delivered today by
Lieutenant Sidney \. Cloman, L. ).
A., professor of military science and
tactics in the University of California.
He said in part
THE strategic value of the Hawa-
iian Islands is so enormous that so far
as | know there is not Il single officer
either of the army or the navy of the
United States, who does not look on
the opposition to their annexation
with almost terror, nor is there any
foreign nation which does not recog-
nize the blindness with which we de-
lay i'm adding them to our possessions.
THE modern war vessel, even
though it cost millions. though it mas
the most capable of officers and men,
and the best of equipments. without a
supply of coal it is as harmless as a
Gagged lion. If we can prevent an en-
envy from getting a supply of coal we
can prevent its naval supremacy. Ev-
cry country except the United States
has a chain of naval bases around the
world The Hawaiian Islands are the
only place from Unalaslla to the
Equator, from Asia to America
where a vessel can get pound OF
coal, a supply of water or an ounce OF
food.
The size of the strategic field that
the Hawaiian Islands control is i'm
mense. To hold them would be as
complete and true protection as tc
build a steel wall from Puget Sound
to San Diego.
1T would be national suicide to al
low any other great power to contro
the Hawaiian Islands. 1t is against
the law of advancing civilization that
the Islands should remain a separat,
nation. If they remain so, they viii
be a continual source of strife. Al
ready they have been seized once by
! Russia and once by England, twice by
France and twice by the United
States. Both times that we took pos
session of them. the other powers
made no protest, but we threw then
away as crazy man throws away ;

RECORDS WERE BROKEN.
Season Opened Auspicously at the
Cyclomere Track Saturday Night.

All track records lowered was the
dashing way in which the Cyclomere
racing was inaugurated last Saturday
night.
1t was a most satisfactory evenings
sport. The program was run off with
out long waits. In only one event
did the contestants do any loaflng.
The lighting was excellent, and the
attendance, considering the other at
fractions of the evening, was good.
In the final of the first event, half
mile open, amateur, Ludloff won in
1909 2-5; Cowes second, Brede third.
The mile open professional was won
by Jones, in 2:19, Martin second, Ma
noa third.
In the match between King, Damon
and Giles, King won two straight
heats, in 1921 and 2:2o.
The two-thirds mile professional,
handicap, was won by Manoa, in 1:27;
Jones second, Jackson third.
King and Ludlotf won the open tan
dem, amateur, event, from Damon and
Giles, in 2:19.
The match between King, the pres,
ent amateur champion, and Ludloff
who claims it, has now been definitely
arranged.
There will be racing again next Sat
urday night.

AConvenient Servl ce.

One week ago yesterday the winter
schedule went into effect on the Penn syl
vania and Phila. & Reading railroads.
They both are accepted with the great
est satisfaction far and near. The two
express trains on the p. & r. leaving
Phila. at & p. m. fills all the public
demands. On the W. j. & Seashore rail-
road the service is the best that has ever
been given. Both Companies are deserv-
ing of much praise for their considera-
tiOa of the ants of the people, aud to
realize the satisfaction prevailing one
needs only to circulate among them.
One thing seems settled for some time to
come in view of the present service.
That is the long talked of electric road
between Atlantic City and Points along
the shore. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars have been spent by railroadsin the
last few years in their efforts to perfect
transportation facilities, until now when
between local points, Phila. New York
and the South and West they are almost
perfect. 1t would be hard to improve
on them. These conditions have not
been arrived at in minute but many
years of hard work have made them
possible and we cannot let the matter go
without notice. 1t would only be an
act of propriety for all the boroughs
along the shore to take action in some
way or other publicly commencing the
management of both companies and
everybody else who assisted in bringing
about the Accommodations so long wanted

Home Again.

Mr.. Arthur Ell. Winner, who left Plea
santville about IL months ago for the
Klondike gold-rigion arrived home, last
week, after months of travel filled with
dangers and thrilling adventures. Mr..
Winner travelled nearly two thousand
miles in country part of which had
never before been explored, and he
endured many hardships. He brought
with him a letter which he intended to
mail, but found hecould deliver it in per-
son as soon as to send it through the
Post Office, in which he says:
Before leaving Fort Graham we hired
an Indian Chief to guide us to Sylvester
post on Dease River for which we paid
him 100 skins in advance, and boarded
him on the trip. He said he could take
us to Sylvester in one month. He left
us suddenly after being out few days
and we had to work our way the best
we could with such mapes es vel had and
the information we got from the mana
ger of Fort Graham. We came to q
river that we thought was Mud River,
but were not certain, and while we
W0re eCOubluR dfOuuu duu WOuuerl0R
what course to take next, we were over
taken by party of mounted police in
charge of Moody, with two good Indian
Guides that as sent out by the Cana
daian government to cut trail through
to the head waters of the Pelly river
just where we were trying to get. There
was a lot of pleased boys as they would
have no more trail to cut only to follow
after Moody. We overlook him at
Sylvester post where he had halted to
rest and "grub up." After being at
Sylvester few days our party split
some to remain at Sylvester, some to
follow Moody, and some to go to lake
Teslin by the way of Glerora.
After getting to Glenora we made
another split some to go to Lake Atlas
and some home, and as it was too late
in the season to prospect" after getting
in winter quarters and it would be nine
months winter thought l could do
better by selling out my stock and come
home and 60 out again next summer
fresh. We prospected the small streams
and runs on the way. The best paying
"dirt" we struck was on the Finley,
where some of the BOYS stopped. We
could pan" out So to $5 day but with
sluice boxes you could do better-from
$40 to SIS per day.

undoubtedly be the greatest demonstra-
ton ever held in the United States. The
grand Military and Naval review, Civic

seeing, remembered and talked of in
future years. The appropriation OF Fifty
Thousand Dollars by the Philadelphia
City Councils and the guarantee of as
much more by the Citizens Committee,
over half of which has been already sub
scribed, makes it certain that no expense
will be spared to make it the Celebration
of the Century. The Philadelphia &

Ten Days "Within the Shadow of
Sail.'

To the Editor OF The Pleasantville
Press
For many months | have desired to
behold the wonders of the deep as they
are seen by the men who "go down to
the sea in ships-who do business in the
great waters" Aud so it was with
pleasure that concluded arrangements
with Captain Combs to sail with him on
the schooner Yale from Philadelphia to
Bangor. We left on Tuesday 18th inst
and after few days spent at the Break
water, started on our trip on the Attain
tic Coast.
From time to time, the Captain and
Mate pointed out to me objects of inter-
est. Much of the time we were out
quite distance from land. but fortuu-
ately were sufficiently near the shore,
passing Montank Point, to see the tents
of the soldiers on the high cliff overlook
ing the ocean. While passing Cape Cod,
the sea grew quite rough, and l went
below to mediate. l fully expected to
he very sea-sick-but was pleasantly
disappointed. During part of the
time, grew Indifferent, it is true, to the
preparation OF meats by the steward,
but usually / was on hand at the ring
ing of the bell.
Sailors are always entertaining talk
ers, and it was with much interest that
I listened to the yarns spun in the fore
castle. Sailors learn geography by
travel, history by hearsay, astronomy
by observation, mathematics by intui-
ton, other languages by assimilation
aud profanity by constant practice.
And at last l am in the land of the
Yankee man, "The land of the sky and
the sea" that section way down East
where the sun stays over night, and
Fl ON which it starts very early in the
morning.
The names here are strange-gOt OF

among the young people | have met. 1t
has been my privilege to attend q num-
ber of times the Congregational Churches
of Bangor, and it is with-joy that have
beheld the Cross of Christ exalted On

1t gave me much pleasure to see
the people of Pleasantville and Absecon
on the occasion OF my late visit. On ac-
count of the schooner sailing SO soon,
my departure was rather hasty one,
and l failed to see some of the friends
whom l very much desired to visit in
their homes. have a most affection
ate regard for the people of my former
parish, and rejoice to behold the growth
of the Church under the able and aggres-
sive leadership of Mr.. Steckel. One thing
wish that the young folks of the j IN

when first knew them. But they are
growing rapidly, and soon their child
hood and youth will be numbered among
the things that are past.
1t is my purpose soon to leave the
shores of New England, and journey
toward the land of the setting sun.

mo, heaven is near us: the mighty
veil
OF mortality blinds the eye,
That we cannot see the angel bands,
On the shores of eternity.
I'VE pass from the clasp of mourning
friends,
To the arms of the loved and lost,
And those smiling faces will greet us
there,
Which on earth, we valued most.
Then very near seem its pearly gates
Aud sweetly its harpings fall:
Till the soil is restless to soar away
Aud longs for the angels call.
Il know when the silver cord is loos-

When the veil is rent away,
Not long and dark shall the passage

To the realms of endless day."
