Washington, July le--While the ad-
ministrstion is talking peace, dispat-
! ches from the important naval and
army stations indicate that 1t is &C
lively preparing for defense In the
event Of war. The greatest activity
is being shown In the defense Of the
Pacific coast Hawaii and the Philip
pines. and it is nov pretty generally
understood that By the first Of the
year every important American port
touched By the Pacific will be 50
thoroughly mined rs to make q sue
lcessful naval attack improbable.
A great game is being F.@gsa secret
BY by the active men Of the Navy and
Wan departments, 1t is like a coolly
planned game OF chess, with the At
lantc and Pacific coasts and the
Philippines as the important points
on the board. The chesSmen are war
ships, mines and every other kind Of
material for warfare.
Westward and 10 the Far East all
the moves are being made, and while
the Philippines are drawing heavily on
the western coast for defensive and
offensive fighting appliances, the east
ern coast is in turn being drained for
the western coast, and here the war
college is planning most Of the moves
IN the games and the torpedo station
at Newport lis hard at work making
mines and torpedOes
Every ship leaving the Atlantic viii
carryfourteen defensive mines. Five
mines is considered a good number for
. battle ship toearry, and with twenty
ships sailing from this side OF the con-
tinent this means that go mines will
be transported westward, in addition
to all that are in the meantime sent
on transports and by rail.

CHILLICOTHE Wins
FROM MEXICO

The fastest game Of the season was
played here Thursday. The score
after twelve innings, three to one for
Chillscothe. was Disappointing to the
Mexico fans but the true lover Of base
bali got bis moneys worth Thursday
The fact that Mexico was shy two OF
her best men heips 70 show the reason
Of the defeat but Chillicothe played
the game OF base ball as good fan
likes 70 zee 1t played. Had Hisey and
Rollings been In the game IL Is pro-
babls that the score would have gone
the other way, but We were beaten and
beaten fairly so II is better not 20

The game was fast ali through and
both teams shown we'll In the field.
Ludwig is one OF the best right felders
we have seen on the grounds this
year. MoDill, Ghillicothe's third base
man, and Bradley, the catcher, were
good alround ball players. Pitcher
played first for Mexico and played an
exceptionally good game. o. Willing
ham, playing left field made the pref
tiest throw OF the season, catching q
man ut the plate. Daniels played bis
usual good game, making several fine

SECOND GAMR.
Mexico won Friday from Chilli
Gothic BY the score OF thirteen to ten.
The game though not as close as Thurs
days was vastly more exciting and not
as bad q game as the score and error
list would seem TO show. But for one
inning Mexico's play was pretty good
and Chillicothe had only about one
error that counted for much against
them.
ohillicothe got wild and ran races
around the bases one inning, the
third. tallying eight runs. After
that Mexico and o. Willingham set
tied down and there was nothing more
doing for Chillicothe. One more run
was scored by them after that.
In the sixth Horton. Chillicothe's
crack pitcher, was put in and shut
Mexico out In the seventh inning. |
Then In the eighth Mexico got busy
and made six runs. In this Curly
Clemens got . home run.
The game itself was on the whole
very poor but not near as bad as the
score would seem TO indicate.
Mexico plays Salisbury, In Salisbury,
Sunday and this should be q good
game. No game was played here TO-
day.

HOT WATER BAG Is THE
MOTHER OF FINE CHICKS
Kansas Woman Finds Way to Save
Setting Of Eggs When the
Her Dies.

WICHITA, KAN, July l2.-The hot
water bag, that modern pain-relievel
and balm TO cold feet, has come into q
new and unique use here in Wichita.
IL has taken a vacation from its
pathological field and invaded the
poultry business.
A little over three weeks ago Mrs.
VIII Waller, Of 1910 South Lawrence
avenue, succumbed to the chicken
craze. Everyone has the chicken idea
once in q lifetime, and some people
get 1t periodically. The chicken idea
is that it is not only interesting, but
highly profitable TO raise chickens.
Mrs. Waller had the hen and the
hen wanted to set, so Mrs. Waller
bought q setting OF fancy barred
Plymouth Rock eggs, and the hen
went TO work in that determined
way hens have. All went merry for
10 days and Mrs. Waller was figuring
on how many Of the IA eggs would
hatch, when one morning she found
that the hen had sickened and died.
Here was q desperate situation.
She didn't want TO buy an incubator
TO save ID eggs; she didn't want to
lose the eggs. Then she thought OF
the hot water bag.
She rugged up a light framework to
keep the weight Of the rubber bag of
the eggs. Then she filed the bag
with hot water and put it on the eggs,
keeping . careful watch over the
temperature.
Only one other thing was necessary,
and that was someone to get up at Q
o'clock In the morning to put in more
not water. Mrs. Waller studied on
this for quite q while and finally Sc
lected Mr.. Waller for the job.
he argued for awhile, but finally be
came through and did his part. After
five nights the chickens began to
peck through and Mrs. Waller had
the satisfaction Of saving nine chick.
