The course that is followed by the United
States government in making plans to conduct
war in comes is the course followed by
every great country of the world and so no ma
tion take offense because it is known that the
United States outlines plans to meet another coun-

War games are played yearly in the army and
Wy closets" of all the great countries of the
world, and while they are called games, they have
a certain grimness about them that is not at all
playful.
War with Great Britain is the remotest kind Of
possibility, and yet board of naval officers and

Comparatively recently when it became known
that it would be necessary to reoccupy Cuba, the
order for reoccupation came suddenly. While no
one knew it definitely, every preparation for just
such contingency had been made by the army

Deep within the heart OF things
Is song that ever sings,
And by the eternal plan
There is the heart Of man
One rare chord set there to be
An echo of that harmony.
Blent of singing of the birds
And of lowing Of the herds,
And the hummng of the bees.
Shouting of the seven seas
All sounds be they harsh or sweet
Must in this song unceasing meet.
Tumult in the city walls.
McllOWness of country calls,
And the bugle's brazen notes,
Thunders from the cannon Threats.
Children's laughter, foemens cheers,
And the faint sad drop of tears;
Yes. and tones Of marvel-grace
Thrummed across the field of space,
Wonder-music all sublime
Chanted by the stars that climb
BY the faintest farthest ones
And by the onward whirling suns.
So creations music blends
In a song that never ends;
Rustling grass and planets dim
Chorus in the primal hymn
So through all the years it rings
Forever in the heart of things.
Times there are when you and I
Hear ii sweeping clear and high.
All unconscious that the sound
Is OF neither metc nor bound.
Yet it may be It is planned
That some day we may understand.

WINS SUIT WHICH
He DECLARES PLOT
San Francisco Police Scored by
Prisoner Whom Court
Orders Released
FORMER WIFE DENOUNCED
Man Arrested in Bay City
Charges Malicious Conspiracy
to Rob and PerSeCute

Adolph Meinecke, arrested in San
Francisco and brought to Los Angeles
to face charge Of failing to pay his
wife $50 a month, awarded to her by
the court when she was separated from
him year ago. was freed yesterday
afternoon by Judge Hutton on repre-
sentations by Attorney Steve Sullivan
that Meinecke was the victim of ma
licious prosecution.
Meinecke is heir to considerable
wealth from the estate of his late fa-
ther in Milwaukee, Wis, and he de-
clares Mrs Meinecke received $100 a
month from the estate on condition
that she continue to live with him. He
now declares she is illegally drawing
this money after she secured an order
from the court separating them.
He declares she had him arrested on
the same day that the last $50 month
became payable, and before he could
raise the amount he was thrown in jail
in San Francisco for grand larceny"
He says the San Francisco police don't
bother about trifles, and failing to pay
his wife $50 on the instant was to them
grand larceny"
Later the San Francisco police
changed the charge to that of aS'fugt-
tive from justice" and tumbled him In
bull-pen with q crowd of murderers,
gas-pipe thugs and others. They stole
his spectacles and did everything they
could to humiliate him, he said, and he
was glad when they brought him to
the Los Angeles county Jail.
He retained Steve Sullivan and the
latter applied for a writ of habeas cor
pus to free him from the charge of con-
tempt of court, on which he was arrest
ed. When Judge Hutton heard he had
been arrested on the same day that his
payment was to have been made he
discharged him on the spot. Meinecke
told the corut that while he was held in
the county Jail his wife came to MIN
and wanted him to sign part of his es-
tate over to her. and she would secure
his release from Jail. He declares she
is using the courts to secure his prop
erty. -,
Since Meinecke has been held in jail
he has been unable to secure the 500
with which to pay the monthly INSTALL
ment for his wife, and 1t was UNDER
stood that she was going to have him
arrested again for contempt of court
on the ground that the amount was
now overdue.
His contention is that she has been
drawing 500 a month Illegally from the
estate left by his father, in view of the
fact that she is not living with him,
against the provisions of his father
will.

RIVERS BROTHERS WIN
TROPHIES At OUTING
Produce Dealers Return from a
TWo-DayS' Stay at Santa
Barbara

The Rivers Bros company display
room in the produce market Monday
was the center of attraction for several
hours, with E. b. Rivers on duty as
the chief spokesman as to the athletic
attainments of the corporation from the
boss down the line. The display in
cluded several highly priced silver cups
won by the Rivers Bros. combination
at the outing of the produce dealers
held at Santa Barbara Saturday and
Sunday.
In the two-mile relay race the COM
pany's team entry won by a wide mar
gin and captured the $100 silver cup
presented by the Los Angeles Ice and
Cold Storage company. Vance Rivers,
Bedford Rivers and Ralph Nihalt COM
prised the team. The cup is two feet
high and is properly engraved. Next
year the winners will have to be vic
tors or they will lose the cup. In the
swimming race for a silver cup pre-
sented by the Creamery and Butter
company, Vance Rivers was the victor.
The most3 exciting and spectacular
event of the afternoon on the Hope
ranch was the mile dash, in which nine
teen daring horSemen were the contes-
tants. Just by nose or an eyelash,
the committee was unable to determine
which, E. b. Rivers, yelling and lash
ing his steed like a Comanche Indian,
was awarded the prize. which was a
silver and leather drinking cup, pre-
sented by the Frank Simpson Fruit
company. Mr.. Rivers says the bunch
kicked up such a dust on the course
that for while he didn't know whether
he would ever get home alive. The
companion cup. which was the donation
Of the Klein Fruit company, was won
by c. F. Morgan in the five-eighths of
a mile burro race. The 100-yard foot
race was won by Vance Rivers, and he
was awarded the silver cup donated by
the Simon Levi company. William Wei
gand of the Klein Fruit company won
the free-for-all foot race for statesmen.
and was given the silver cup presented
by the Rivers Bros. company. The
produce dealers, who arrived home
safely Sunday night, assert that the
outing was the most enjoyable In the
entire history OF the association.
