NAVY LEAGUE FIGHT
TO Be REDOUBLED
Headquarters Of Organiza-
ton May Be Moved
Here.

The Navy League OF the United
States. OF which Gen. Horace Porter Is
the president and Theodore Roosevelt
Is an honorary member, is making a
great effort to arouse interest IN naval
matters throughout the country. The
headquarters OF the league are now
IN New York, but IL has been decided
TO remove them 20 Washington after
this month 1t is thought Washington
IS the best place wherein to keep in
touch with navy matters and to keep
Congress and the public aroused 20
the necessity for naval progress.
The membership OF the league is now
1900, and a great organized movement
has been started 10 increase the mem
bership. An educational campaign is
being carried on by means Of publIca-
lions, lectures and popular meetings. 1t
is thought by the promoters Of the
movement for great navy league in
this country that the present member
ship can be increased 10 u 20 times
and that with such membership the
influence OF the organization will be
potent with Congress.
Foreign Leagues Help.
It is pointed out that Germany has q
navy league OF 81, 2s3, and Great Brit
ain q membership Of z00O0. Several
other foreign countries have large
leagues OF this character. The great
ext ansion OF the German navy is con-
sidered due IN no small measure TO
the influence Of the navy league Of that
country.
II Is pointed out, too. that a strong
navy league existed IN Japan before
the war with Russia II was an
active league, constantly demanding
greater strength IN the Japanese navy,
both ia numbers and efficiency, and It
Is asserted It WAS extremely effective
In bringing about legislation and ad-
minisjrative measures calculated to
build the japanese navy up.
On the other hand Russia had no
navy league before the war. There was
no organization to expose abuses and
hence bring about Improvement. Also
in Spain before the war with this
country there was no navy league
Today there IS a navy league in Spain
and il Is fast doing its part 10 correct
the OLD abuses. The Spanish league Is
nearly three times as large as the
league IN this country though several
years younger.

The Market.

The general market opened q little
fir1ner under the leadership Of Reading.
Smelter, and Union Pacific After the
opening there was quite q reaction along
the line. followed by another recovery
ana then as the market entered the
uOCu hour, a slowing down in volume
and easiness in values. At that time At
Gibson held y point gain. Great North
ern a.. Northern Pacific was a shade
lower, and so were Pennsylvania, New
Yorl, Central. Baltimore and Ohio, Della
aware and Hudson and a number Of
stocks Reading was but p point bet
ter. and Union Pacific just a shade
frmer.
Manhattan became a leader again to-
day, moving Up 2lz points or from 1874
10 80. Interurban improved from rs
20 SD.
Well into the noon hour the market
became soft, and all gains save IN the
minor stocks were lost Al the same
time the market was very dull.
p. m.-Tne dizziness continued well
into the afternoon and the bears. putting
on a little pressure, carried stocks down
a point or more, Reading breaking to
103 and the list following, but 40 the
same time there was no Improvement
in the volume of trading until nearly
o'clock. when the market became a
little more active.
The narrowness OF the market Is
neither satisfactory to the bulls nor the
bears.

Tasty Dinners of Seaweed.

WAUKESHA, Wis, Sept. 19.-That
the process of dehydration may solve
the food problem of the world when the
population shall have exceeded the
food productivity of the earth, by turn
ing the seaweed of the great Sargasso
Sea into a valuable food product, was
the theory advanced by Judge M. S.

was the first of the kind ever served
il the world and vas prepared by
Miss C. A. Lyford, a domestic science
expert of the State Normal University
of Bloomington, Ill. At this banquet
the piece de resistance was seaweed
done into fries. roasts, purees and many
other contrived dishes by the shilful
cook. Every diner claimed to have
enjoyed it hugely and all were up and
about yesterday.
