Presently there were terrible do

sired peace of mind; and moving de-
terminedly toward this end, he de-
clared in public that his niece, the
young and tender Princess Hildegarde,
should wed the Prince of Do%ppelkinn,
whose vineyards gave him a fine in

lar guardian had waited long enough
for his willful ward to make up her

husband; now he determined to take

The prince advertised. after the fash
ion of those times, sent out detectives
Sad notified his various brothers; but
his trouble went for nothing. Not the
slightest trace of the boy could be
found. So he was mourned for a sea,
son, regretted and then forgotten; the
prince adopted the grape arbor.
l saw the prince once. I do not
blame the Princess Hildegarde for her
rebellion. The prince was not only
old; he was fat and ugly, with little,
elephant-like eyes that were always
ysin-shot, restless and full of mischief.
He might have made a good father,
but ! have nothing to prove this.
Those bottles of sparkling Moselle
which he failed to dispose Of to the
American trade he gave to his brother
in Barscheit or drank himself. He
was 68 years old.
A nephew, three times removed, was
waiting for the day wnen he should
wabble around in the princes shoes.
He was a lieutenant in the dukes
b~ody-guard. a quick-tempered, heady
chap. Well, he never wN5bled around
in his uncle's shoes, for he never got
the chance.
I hadn't been in Barscheit o week
before l heard a great deal about the
princess. She was a famous horse
woman. This made me extremely x
ious to meet her. Yet for nearly six
months l never even 60. so much as a

You stood In the middle of 1t and were
a baseball player, you could throw a
stone across the frontier in any direc-

the finest in Europe. The prince was
a widower, and among his own people
was affectionately styled der Rot

Illuminated proboscis. When he wasn't
fishing for rainbow trout he was sleep

body ever worried; they knew where
to find him. And besides, he might

of the bonnet the husband will probably want to be satisfied that it is be-
coming nrst.
Miss Carke's idea of a husbands hour seems to me an injustice both
to the husband and wife were it carried through successfully, and, as
we'll, a debasng of the individual right. To go to the heart of the mat
ter, husbands dearly love to teach, but not to learn, especially in their
political opinions, and the largely abstract knowledge that the usual
woman acquires in her study of the situation at her club can hardly be
opposed to his daily experience of the conditions to be remedied or the
men to achieve the desired betterment. The comparison of their informa-
ton is bound to result in a better understanding for both. But the i'm
plication of a superior mental attitude on her part would be fatal to the
dearest wish of her heart. political or other.

Longfellow's Children's Hour was the
happy time of the day-the one hour without
restraints. Miss Clarke's Husbands Hour
would be the hour OF struggle, of discomfort.
1t might even be interpreted by the unjust
into what is commonly called nagging. In
fact the process of administering such a
sugar-coated pill to even the best of husbands
would have a doubtful effect upon the house

but in the majority of cases the last state of

self-defense he would rush to false gods.

was necessary to convert cadets into watch officers. 1t is manifest that in
this respect relief can only be secured in the course of years. Even then,
if, as at present, the number of cadets at Annapolis is annually consider
ably raised, and their term of education shortened, the effect in the rank
of higher officers can only make itself felt in the course of time. Finally
relief cannot be secured simply by turning. out officers faster. The neces-
sary service experience must also have been attained. As has been said,
America waited too long to resort to energetic and radical remedial meas
ures.
For the present and the immediate future we cannot get away from
the fact that the American officer corps, as regards its tactical military
training, without doubt is inferior to the japanese; that it is also numer-
iany inferior would under other circumstances not be of special impor-
lance, especially as in war a large number of naval officers remain ashore,
while the commanding officers among them usually 60 to the front. A
further element of weakness in the American fleet, however, is the very
high age among the higher commanding officers. Among rear admras we
find an average of nearly 81 years, among captains of nearly So years, and
among the navy commanders of nearly 81. That is a service age much
beyond what the demands of initiative and elasticity made upon naval
officers absolutely require, and this misgiving becomes the more serious in
light of the nov prevailing proag98ion system, whereby, also for higher
officers, the question of efficiency p not the decisive one.

As compared with Japan, there can be no doubt
that as far as personnel is concerned Americas weak.
ness is at sea. From a tactical standpoint, one can
safely assert, the standard of the American navy does
not attain a high point. AT any rate, the education Of
officers on a systematic, uniform, thoroughgoing plan
is lacking absolutely, while of tradition there can, Of
course, not be the slightest notion.
A second most unfortunate feature is the personnel
question. 1t has come up before, but only in the recent
years of the new era has it demanded adequate atten-
ton. AT present there is a lack of both officers and
men. The officer famine is so crying that last year it
