for Him and stirs the pulse into conse-
Grated and loyal service"
"Suffering,' ne continued 'is the law
of progress in the world. We have just
arrived at the first stage of aerial naviga-
ton. Mans mastery Of the art of flight
has just begun, but already a heavy toll
more lives will be sacrificed before we can
is surely drawing nigh. Brain is the world
conqueror and the atmosphere is part OF
the world put under the dominion of
man. Eighty years ago no one believed
in successful steam travel. Twenty years
ago men pronounced the motor car a fool

mon accessories of aggressive business
life.
IN Arlington today there is a green
grave. that tells of suffering paid for
human flight. The greatest achievemen mt
the human mind can contemplate is the
saving Of a human soul. How many
graves can we point to as the price of
our Christian labors during last year?'

About December 1, it is stated, For,
Washington will be made five-cOmpany
post, and two companies of coast artil-
lery which are now temporarily quartered
under canvas at Fort Monroe will be
brought to the Potomac station.
For the past two years construction
work has been in progress upon new sets
OF company barracks at Fort Washing

buildings, which are modern structures

veniences to be found at an army post
are now rapidly approaching completion
and will be ready for occupancy by the
soldiers within the next two months, and
as soon as they are completed the two
companies will be brought to the Potomac
fort. The addition to the garrison at the
fort will add about 115 men to the num-
Der already stationed there and will make
the total number of officers and men al

Washington is necessary for the proper

GOOD HUNTING DOWN RIVER.
Turkeys and Partridges Said to Be
Plentiful This Year.

Reports coming from the counties in
Maryland and Virginia bordering on the
Potomac river state that the outlook for
a good hunting season is most excellent
and the farmers are anticipating some
fine sport as soon as their busy fall work
ing season is over. In King George and
Westmoreland counties. Virginia, wild
turkeys are said to be more numerous this
year than they have been in several years.
Partridges are plentiful, as are also rab-
bits and squirrels, and the Washington
sportsmen who have friends down in
Virginia or Maryland who will invite
them down for a hunt are most fortunate.
The increase in game is said to be
largely due to the protective policy
adopted by the Virginia legislature year
or two ago and by that of Maryland about
the same time, which put a stop to in
discriminate shooting of game and limited
the number Of each species that could be
killed by the hunter and carried out of
the state. The law will not allow the
shooting of game for commercial pur-
poses and severe penalties are imposed
upon violators Of the laws.

MR.. KIRK ON sECULARIsM.
Principles Declared to Be Identical
With Those of Free Government.

Hyland c. Kirk delivered an address
yesterday afternoon before the. Secular
League in Pythian Temple in which he
said secularism is the hope of humanity.
Mr.. Kirk declared secularism was
founded on principles identical with those
of the United States government. Free
thought and free speech. he said, were
the incentives to the physical and mental
perfection of man.
Superstition, ignorance and disease.
he added. form the wings of the mighty
army that is opposing man in his on
ward movement to the heights of per-
fected life. and they are yielding very
gradually to the strenuous blows of the
army of science. for the reason that the
universal law of action and reaction In
the forces of existence maintains close
balance. SO that mans progress is slow.
But the result is not doubtful if he will
arouse himself to action"
Following the address, members of the
club discussed the subject.
