go to Ohio to work. Seventy five men
left today and one hundred are expected

BETTER THAN OURS,
Commander Glover Expresses Opin-
ion Regarding Fore On Navies.
United states Naval Aftachc Of Lon
don says Our Country Makes a
Mistake in Thinking we stand
Any show IN case Of War.

Commander Richardson Clover,
United States naval attache at Lon
don, reached Washington the other
day and called at the navy depart
ment. He expressed some interest
ing views which are quite likely to
attract considerable attention at
home and abroad He is among the
best informed officers on naval mat
ters IN Europe lie said that the
British naval force is much stronger
than anybody has any idea Of, and
that our own navy is, in comparison
with most Of the European naval
powers, greatly Inferior and Of prac
tically little consequence.
"The habit in Great Britain is to
herate and belittle the navy Of that
country, and this policy is, in fact.
encouraged by the British admiralty.
1t serves to deceive foreign observers
in regard to what is being done and
as to the navy's real efficiency.
"The British navy is equal in stra-
tegic strength to any other two CON
tinental powers who make any pre-
tense to supporting navies. ! have
known the admiralty to employ
placard men to parade the streets
making comparisons of navies to the
detriment of the British service.
This excites popular apprehension
and interest in that subject. 1t has
had this effect.
"There are no serious defects in the
British navy. Of course, they have
their troubles, but they do not
amount to anything and the naval
authorities do not get into any such
distressed frame of mind described
by the daily papers. The navy league
over there and the press seem to be
party to the great conspiracy.
Our policy is quite different. We
are willing TO rest content with what
we have and have led ourselves into
thinking that we amount to some
thing as a naval power. We would
stand no show at all in conflict
with most of the European nations,
and we ought to get over the absurd
notion we have in regard to our in
vulnerability The English deprecate
their prowess while we exaggerate
our own. At the same time, we do
not fool the foreigners, who know US
for just what we are"

When morning dawned and the long
night was over, he found that the mare
was gone; Jess had deserted him and
had gone to look for water on her own
account. 1t was his own fault, of
course, and he wondered that a few
hours thirst should have demoralized
him so.
He understood now why men went
