U. S. SECOND NAVAL POWER
Germany Has Not Yet Outstripped
This Country.

Washington, Dec. 12-The United
States closes another year in sec
ond place among the worlds naval
powers. The great navy building
race between Germany and Great
Britain has not yet brought the for
mer country up to the United States
in the number of battleships afloat,
but in ships projected and in the
total number of war vessels of all
kinds, Germany will crowd the Unit
ed States to third place. These facts
are shown in the new navy year
book. prepared by Pitman Pulsifer,
clerk to the senate committee on
naval affairs, and soon to be issued
by the government printing office.
In armored cruisers. although the
technical division made in the Unit
ed States indicates Germany to have
more than this country, the actual
strength of the United States ex-
ceeds that of its European rival.

United States Kindergarten for

ticle sets forth in viriIe style an ar
gument that too many of our war

are shown to prove that too many OF
the details regarding the country S
forts, coast defenses. highways, ar
senals, bridges, guns, army equip
ment and future plans are spread
before the gaze of the world.
Mr. Mack cites as an instance, the
fact that in Japan a polite govern

cameras at Nagasaki, while in Amer
lea a gallant army Office takes pleas
ure in pointing out 10 those who
come the best views to be obtained

is a model showing, in miniature, the

Post Card Views.
Views accompanying Macks' ar
ticle, are taken for the most part
from post cards gathered in towns
near steamboat defenses. But they
contain information no more detail
ed than do the post cards of Rock
Island arsenal to be obtained in this
community. Among the views pub
lished in the magazine is one show
ing details of an American 12-inch
coast defense gun, Of the proving
battery at Sandy Hook and details
of American coast artillery range
finders.
After deploring the fact that there
are no American laws providing dras-
tic punishment for spies captured
within territory OF the stars and
stripes. the writer in Popular Me-
chanics names the many comparative
methods in which foreign scouts
may work in America and secretly
obtain knowledge of the war depart
ment's information from a to z.
Arrest One Out of Ten.
In conclusion the article contains
this:
"A military expert has said that
for one Japanese spy found gather
ing information in the United States
there are that manage to avoid
discovery. He further states that
for every Japanese who remains I'M
discovered there are two Germans,
French Russian, Italian, Mexican or
Austrian secret agents at work here.
Furthermore, it is related, so little
esteem is placed on the ability neces-
sary to wiring from America its mill
itary secrets, that this country has
become a sort of primary school for
these gentlemen, and the real experts
the past masters in the art, are en-
gagged in those countries of Europe
where the game is larger and the
risks greater, where detection means
degradation and imprisonment.
From this it can be gathered that
, the real experts OF Japan are not
wasting their time on the United
States but are going after bigger ana
more difficult tasks while the work
here is left to aspiring amateurs. a
system all the great powers have
found to work with charming eff
/ feCtiveness.'

 passed When Edwards thought it
 was safe to move again he stuck his
 head up only to see them coming back
 When they reached a point directly above him they stopped and engaged in conference which from the length of it Edwards believed embraced a free and full discussion of the tariff the expected Pinchot episode and many kindred matters. They were talking in Spanish and everybody knows that 1t takes longer to talk in Spanish than in any other tongue That is why the word 'paIabra." which means in Spanish ordinary. conversa- ton, has been anglicized into "pala- ver'' which means an interminabIe and idle discourse. The conference seemed longer on account of the bitter wind. the coldest of many decades, that was sweeping up the river.
 Finally the officers settled whatever they were talking about and went home to thaw out. Edwards dragged himself to the surface and resumed his journey. At the end of the bridge, on the Tempe side, he made q detour of that town, coming back to the rail- road about six miles below After walking little further he found him. self unable to proceed; his feet had given out and he was stiff with cold He had on thin coat but no vest He went into jungle and built q fire where he lay the rest of the night and until the evening of the next day, when he went on toward Maricopa.

Three times there Edwards tried to board the train but always was intercepted by the same brakeman with whom pa ticpce at last ceased to be a virtue He drew a revolver and told Edwards that he had other duties than herd ing him off that train; he would fix him SO that he would not need watch ing. Edwards quickly receded from the right-o -ofway and the train went on- His further progress involved meetings with hoboes who fed him. and getting ditched but eventually he reached Yuma on Saturday morning. He had not been on the street ten minutes before he saw a man watch ing him. That man was Sheriff Liv- ingston. The man approached and asked, What's your name? Where are you going?"

TRIAL FOR MURDER
 MAY BE ESCAPED

Portland, Ind, April 26.-The lone prisoner in the Jay county jail, Ira w. Porter, probably will be set free in few days, though he Is charged with mur- de ring his wife-for the reason that opin- ion In the neighboring county of Ran dolph county. where the alleged murder was committed, is divided as to whether 1t is worth while for the county to go to the expense of a second trial of his case. Randolph county now is paying Porter's board and keep in the Jay coun- ty jail, citizens will argue before the county council at special meeting this week, and if he is tried again his bill will be stretched indefinitely Besides, a special appropriation would have to be made for the expense of the trial. Further, Porter is an old man, and it may reasonably be expected that he has not many more years to live. Finally, the ev- dence against him is purely circumstan- tial, and if he were acquitted the county would have laid out a great deal of money for nothing.
 Tn the meantime Porter sits contentedly in his cell, reading, singing hymns and writing letters to his friends.
