furnished by his parent. He married
Mrs. Baker of Long Beach, who is
several years his senior. The couple
have been living at 1915 West Thirty
fifth street, Los Angeles.

arrangement. Thr ..nan came to Long
Beach and for the past few days has
been living with his father at Ninth
and Chestnut streets.
About o'clock tonight Mrs. Grundv
stepped from a car in Long Beach and

DISCUSSES DUAL
NAVAL STANDARD

LONDON, June 26.-Admiral Lord
Beresford was the principal speaker
at the closing meeting this morning of
the Imperial Press conference and gave
his views on the question Of the en-
pire and the navy.
1T is impossible" he declared, 'to
maintain a two-power standard unless
the dominions come in and assist"
The speakers general plan for an
empire navy, as outlined in his speech,
contemplates distinct fleets for each
of the five nations of the empire, Great
Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zea-
land and South Africa.
There should be Standardization, in
terchange of officers as we'll as in
terchange of ships and repairing sta
tions should be established throughout
the empire.
by some extraordinary mad infat-
uation for which l am quite unable TO
account" said Lord Beresford, "the
repairing stations upon which we have
spent so much money have been dis
mantled''
that the dominions could assist great
ly by rebuilding and re-equipping
these abandoned naval bases. In the
event of war all the fleets of the en-
pire would have to act under q CEN
trail strategical bureau which would
have to be established by the admiral
ty and at the same time there must
be no hint of the domination of the
home government during normal times.
The speaker then contended that the
grave warnings uttered by various
statesmen proved that they knew the
empire to be unprepared for war. This
anxiety was emphasized by the offers
of dreadnaughts from colonial govern
ments and the fact that the colonies
are recognizing the unpreparedness of
the navy he regarded as the severest
possible condemnation of the imperial
policy of defense.

is arousing much curiosity among To-
cal amusement goers. The town and
surrounding county has been hand
somely billed, with some of the finest
looking special photographic paper seen
here in long time, announcing the
coming of the Sun Show. If the ad'
vance printing and advertising ideas
are any criterion to go by, the show
will evidently prove to be crack-a
jack in every particular. This is the
Show, and the claim is made for it,
that it is newer, better and more up
to-date than heretofore.
This big carnival of amusements
will exhibit at Hattiesburg tomorrow.

breakfasted, the army of show enl-
ployes will be busily engaged in trans
ferring the huge paraphernalia from

Shows can be gathered from the fol
lowing facts:
A complete train of double length
cars, each 60 or 70 feet long is re
quired to transport this tented estab
lishment from town to town; the tents
cover an area of five acres. the main
