Washington, October Defend

American Navy. Admiral George Dew
ey has asserted that not only is our
navy not bluff but that he is
confident that It would give a good
account OF itself should war ever

The Admiral's remarks were call
cd forth by a statement attributed
10 former Representative Landis OF
Indiana, who in a recent speech at
Cincinnati Ohio, in advocating ship
subsidy. is reported to have said
that those Americans who are In
formed consider our navy n blun."
The expression was characterized by
Admiral Dewey as an unfortunate"

Declaring that be saw no war
clouds gathering on the horizon. Ad.
miral Dewey discussed several paas-
es Of the navy He expressed him
self as heartily IN favor Of ship sub
sidy legislation and made a strong
plea for the continued upbulding OF
the navy.
Referring 70 the remark audbut-
I'd 20 Mr. Lands. Admiral Dewey
said That Of course, what the for
mer meant was that the navy would
b. comparatively useless in time of
war without necessary auxiliarics
drawn from the merchant marine
The Admiral expressed the belief
That ship subsidy legislation could

Of ten word Subsidy which he
said many people did not like. be-

Pittsburg, Oct Sit is asserted
ShatA seventy thousand seats nave
been sold for the two between Pitts
burg and Detroit. The total receipts
of the two games will probably reach
100000.
The managers of each club was
required to post a $4,000 forfeit to
guarantee that the two games woult
be played through without interrupt
ton, argument. altrecations with the
umpire permitted. or players quit
the game and walk off the field.
1t is estimated there was five
thousand people in line, as early as
nine o'clock this morning waiting
for the gates to open at Forbes Field
where the worlds championship
games will be played
Thirty thousand admissions nave
been sold at private sale, and specu-
iators are reaping a harvest, some
seats going at ten dollars.
The friends of right-fielder Will

the game tomorrow.
r. VI. Weaver, a Fourth avenue
broker has bet five thousand dollars
on todays game giving odds of five
to three that Pittsburg will win.
Ty Cobb's reputation rests on this
series. If he goes through these
important games without attempt
ing spike any one Of Pittsburg's
stars ne will get back in the favor
of the fans. Hans Wagner Is ready
for him any time he tries to steal

Three hundred policemen and
plain clothes men are at the game
to quell any disturbances that may
arise. and the detectives will be on

be there to take any spolls they can
get their long fingers on.
Opinion is pretty evenly divided
concerning the outcome of the
woFld's series between the PittsA

EVANGELIZE

Facts and Figures in Extent

Missionary Movement.

Last Fall through the Dominion
OF Canada, from ocean to ocean,
there was conducted Laymens 9
Missionary Movement Campaign of
the sort now proposed for the Unit
ed States. All of Canada was pro-
reached, why not the United states?
Fhe answer to this question is the
present National Campaign.
IT is great compliment to Bris-
tol and the secIon contiguous there
10 to get one of these Conventions.
Bristol being the smallest city in the
United States at which a Campaign
convention will be held. 1t is also
a great convenience TO the lavmen
In this territory TO have one of these
conventions so near to them. aad
no effort should be spared to avail
ourselves OF this compliment and
close proximity by having a full dele
cation present from every church of
all denominations located in the ter
titory in question
Eyand delizing the world in this
generation is no longer a question
of duty but question Of method.
This much has been settled. that
with our present force aad equip
ment we shall not evangeize the
world in this or any other genera
uon. For instance. to furnish one
missionary to every 25 900 heathens,
the American churches must increase
from 1000 missionaries to 10000

600 to S40,OO0,OO0 assuming Ameri-

The subject OF "Woman Suffrage" IL
being discussed as never before, In this
country and In England-the two most
ibcrty-loving nstions-and Its agita-
ton In England has resulted In serious
demonstrations, which have injured
rather than benefited the cause. Never
theIcss the claims OF women 10 have the
right 10 vote should be heard and treated
In justice and kindness regardless Of
our prejudices. Mr.. Gorst, known ev-
erywhere ~ \ writer and lecturer on
education, and ~ private secretary to
his father, Sir John Gorst, at one time
Minister Of Education In Great Bri-
tain, has these things TO say about ed
ucation and woman suffrage, which
the sutiragists desire circulated AS their
views:
II seems 10 me that girls are more
mis-educated than boys, especially now
that every girl Is destined to come for
ward rs citizen. IL Is natural to
think that some time In her life every
woman will fulfil her normal destiny,
that of wife and mother-but In these
days, whether that be SO or not, she
will soon be exercising the privileges
OF citizenship. Are the girls and wo.
men of America prepared for thiss |
am asked. No, far from II; but they are
no more lacking than all boys and
some men. 1t Is incompreaensihle To
me In view of the fact that suffrage
will soon be given to women, both In
this country and Great Britain, that
all the girls schools and colleges do not
have instruction and training In parli-
amentary law.
"American women are going to be
a wonderfully potent element In poll
ties when they have the ballot. for wo-
man will realize that the machinery Of
politics means less than men think it
does. The latter mistake the means
for the end. Women will take much
more human view of politics. They will
never cease working until they have
Invested politics Of the sham and conn.,
plicattons which men have invented to
conceal gran and throw dust, in the
eyes Of the public. American men are
SO overlooked, - cngrossea. Ia bust
ness, that believe the WHOM tuturc Of
America lies In the hands o1swomen,
and when women have the franchise
they will shake the foundations Of gov
eminent in way that will be Of incal-

ecupcrati on possible. In 1854, Aus
tria also passed = reforestation law 10
control torrents. This law carries an
annual appropriation Of el00,OO and
extensive planting work has been sue
ccssfully carried out under II.
Germany, ~ \ whole, does not have
NO much land which II IL necessary 10
plant. The Germans have been prac-
ticing forestry for 30 long time that
the greater part Of the available land
IL already covered with forests. Some
work, however. Is done along this line.
During the six years from 1901 10 1903
about 300, 40 acres Of land suitable for
forestry were acquired In Prussia, al
though par, of this was already wood
ed All possible assistaneeis also given
10 communes and private owners In
planting work, and in 1905. $4,000
was appropriated for this purpose. Ba-
den cndeavors To encourage forest plant
ing by providing that all private waste
lands, pastures, fields, and uplands
planted with timber, remain free from
taxation for u period of twenty years
from the beginning Of the first year OF
planting.
In Denmark no fixed appropriation
Is made for acquiring waste lands, but
in the last 20 yeats over $4,000 acres
have been purchased; and recently the
annual cost for planting has amounted
TO over $1,000. Tree planting ON the
dunes along the coast of Jutland, for
the purpase of protection from drifting
sand, is continuously going on. In adj
ditien 10 the work which the State Is
doing, annual grants are made 10 the
Danish Heath Society, the special OBJ
leet of which Is To encourage tree plant
ing in Jutland. That the work pays
Is shown by the fact that during the
last ten years the average annual pro-
tit from all State forest lands has been
nearly $io0,o00.
Other European countries are con-
stantly doing similar planting work.
| Switzerland, Tor example, creates pro-
lection forests wherever possible by
planting, and " henever forests are con.
vcrtcd into farming and pasture lands
IN equal area may b. ordered reforess-
ed. The great Empire Of Russia like
wise spends large sums annually In
planting. Belgium and little Holland
are also active In making their waste
lands productive through forest plant
ing.
Putting every acre Of land TO Its best
use Is the idea about which the whole
policy Of the conservation Of national
resources revolves, and In the future
the planting up Of waste tracts In the
United States Is sure 10 be carried on
extensively by private owners rs well
as In the National Forests aud ON State
lands.
