iItor OF The Evening Star:

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
In these days of intense interest in all
that pertains to the navy, In these days
of heat and discomfort, when We remem-
Der poor sailors suffering SO much
worse hardships under a tropical sun, In
these days when the nations honor is COM
mitted to the gallant little band known
as Uncle Sans navy, why not pass the
personnel bill at once and recognize these
faithful efforts in the simplest of ways?
Does Congress remember, 1 wonder, that
all the heroism is not absorbed by those
alone of whom 1t hears and whose praise
is deservedly on every lip? Does II re-
member that the Deweys, the Hobsons
the Blues and the Bageys are not the only
ones who are giving themselves for their
country? 1t is nerve-thriling and blood
quickening to read of the her oic deeds we
all appreciate and admire, but what of the
many men who Will never be heard of at
all and who ct are the backbone" of
the war-without whose daily sacrifice of
every possible comfort-and frequently the
sacrifice of health perhaps for all their
future-the great achievements could never
even be attempted?
The accident of fate IS usually the con-
trolling element In each mans chances,
and L venture to assert that it is easier
today to face the fire of the enemy with
the glow and excitement of battle to urge
one on than to sit before Havana, for eN-
ample. in a monitor, where the watchful-
ness means sixty hours at a time without
sictp, WHcTe men 10 uOl remove lntlf ClOln-
ing at night for weeks; where ice and fresh
provisions vanish into luXuries of the far
past; where ships rations" are eaten be-
low the water level in a temperature of
from 80 to 100 degrees; where the deck
the only place to obtain any breath of
fresh air not pumped in artificially-is al
ways waye-waShedi
The men who endure these things have
no chance at priZes-as their brothers have
on other ships-because of the lack of
speed of such craft. and Yet no word of
complaint comes from them. though the
glory and the excitement of the war pass
them by and only the monotony, the tedi-
um, the discomfort and the suffering are
theirs to share.
For this reason, and because much of
this work must forever remain unknown
and uErecognized by their feilow-country-
men, it would give V onderful zest and re-
newed heart to the workers in the less in
teresting and exciting parts of the cam
paign to feel that Congress at least apprc-
ciates the real trials that being so pa
uently borne and under which so many
men are already breaking, physically-by
a speedy passage of the personnel bill,
which has. the hearty approval of a large
majority of those who are now giving them

them something better than naked sympa-
thy, stable government to live under and
the assurance of reasonable protection for
private interests. We need not worry as
to the status of the colonies toward the
parent country. That can be worked out
satisfactorily to all concerned
We feel proud of our warships and their
crews when we view them at rest in our
harbors and rivers, but the feeling Of de-
light which pervades the being of our citi-
zen is indescribable, when far from home,
in foreign port, at the sight of gallant
ship floating the star spangled banner and
manned by bluejackets. well aware that he
can depend on them for protection and
redress of wrongs. All this connects him
with home and encourages him to greater
exertion and achievements

The South and Hawaii,

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
AS a southern man / cannot help but
view with astonishment the opposition by
the southern senators to annexing the Ha-
waiian Islands.
Everybody knows Except the southern
senators) that the Nicaragua canal will
benefit the south more than any other Sec
tion of this country, and that the annex
ing of Hawaii is merely preliminary step
before building the canal
These islands are in q direct line between
the Nicaragua canal and Asia, and being
essential to this country in both military
and commercial WY, it is hard to compre-
hend how our so-caled wise men can lose
this opportunity to get them. 1t will never
come again. The south, with its wonderful
resources and its splendid location at the
mouth of the canal, making il nearer to
Asia and to Europe than any other section
of this country, will do the manufacturing
for the world.
We in the south, however can never
hope fer much until our mossbacks step
aside and make way for the new generation
in the south, who can see a better future
for their section than that of free trade
free silver, agriculture and poverty.

ENGINEER HATTON TALKS

INTERESTING LECTURE TO
FRIENDS SCHOOL CHILDREN by
ENGINEER EIATnON.
An interesting address was delivered
by Engineer II. c. Hatton, OF the
Street and Sewer Department, to this
pupils OF Frienis' School yesterday
morning.
In the course OF his remarks Mr.
Hatton said that cleanliness was a part
OF sanitation. which he defined as
measures pertaining TO securing health.
Health dis our most precious posses
sion, the best thing we have. There Is
q great deal that children may do to
secure their own health and TO promote
that OF their city. They must first be
clean Themselves. They are clean, they
would be ashamed TO be otherwise.
Their pride keeps them from throwing
old papers and bits of fruit and refuse
on the floor or ON the grass Of the yard
at home. The streets belong to the
children, too.
Mr.. EIatton told of Rome in ancient
times, AMID OF Santiago in this day, and
OF the pestilence fbegotten by uncleanli-
ness in both cities- Then HE reviewed
rapidly tho work OF the school chill
dren's civic clubs in Philadelphia,
Pdttsburg. and particularly in New
York under COLONEL Warning.
He read from Colonel Warnings book

interesting and amusing letters from

they had done.

from letter OF Mrs. w. ID. Bush, chair

NEW LINE TO HAVANA

.SEMI-WEEKLY SERVICE WILL BE
INAUGURATED DECEMBER 4.
THE TRIP FROM PHILADELPHIA
TO HAVANA WILL CONSUME
ONLY FIFTY SIX HOURS.
A rumor that a new line Of steamers
TO Havana would be established this
Winter between some port ON the coast
cf Florida nearer to Cuba than Tampa
has been current for some time. That
there win be such line is now an es-
tab,lshed fact, as the announcement Of
its certain Inauguration has just been
made by John M. Beall, district passen-
ger agent Of the Southern Railway.
Mr.. Beall was seen at his office, I'M
der the Continental Hotel yesterday,
and stated that adj arrangements were
now complete even to fixing the dates
on which the steamers would sail:
1T has been positively determined
said he, Ito inaugurate a new steam
ship line from Miami on December a,
with shirs sailing on Sundays and
Wednesdays from that port to Ha-
vana. The steamers to be assigned to
that eervice viii be the Miami and Lin
coin. Both Of these steamers have
been recently built for the Florida East
Coast Steamship Company, and, al
though smaller, are equal in every
other respect to our best transatlantic
| liners.
"The Inauguration Of this fine from
Miami win bring Havana to the very
threshold OF the United States, and, al
though separated from us by a wide ex-
panse of water, Il will really be nearer
Philadelphia than most Of the large
cities west of the Mississippi
THE cleaners win be operated in
connection with the Southern Railway
COmpnays fast mail train, and passen-
gers taking that train at Broad Street
Station at 7.20 a. m. on Saturday, for
instance, will reach Miami Sunday
evening; board the steamer, which will
sail Immediately after the arrival OF
the fast mail, and reach Havana Tues
day afternoon at o'clock, making o
daylight landing. which is, Of course
very desirable"
do you think the line will pay?" he
was asked.
Yes, sir; from it's inception" was
the reply. I'VE anticipate very
heavy and steady travel TO Cuba after
it's occupation by American troops, and
the fact OF this line being so mu1f
shorter than the Key West and al
water routes will naturally make Il
popular. We expect to do particu'
larly heavy business, both freight anC
passenger, between Philadelphia ans
Havana as the establishment Of thiI
line will give Philadelphia merchant
an advantage that they will not b
slow to see and avail themselves OF. -
