possibility of creating numerous ones

But the admiral showed himself to
be diplomat of a high order. He
won the confidence and esteem of
the whole of Nicaragua, irrespective
of party He was cheered wherever
he went, by the Madriz government
party, by the Estradists, by the inter
ventionists.

admiral. with his customary good
sense replied, lis less talk of revolu-

had columns of complimentary refer

praise from these Sir Huberts Is
praise indeed. With three parties
struggling for supremacy, with the
one in power being distinctly hostile
to everything American, the situation
from any point of view was an ex-
tremely delicate one and required in
finite tact to handle. The admiral is
possessed of that tact in a high de-
gree and brought it into play. Not
only did he prevent any conflict be-
tween the forces of the United States
but in so doing fully maintained the
dignity of the flag and met every sit
uation with a strict observance of the
requirements of International law and
of naval usage

promoted to the rank of ensign and in
the following year to that of master,

years ago. He was one of the first OF

of the submarine. and it was largely

ofsfoer Who Recently Settled the Mic

Was First to Recognize the
Submarines Value.

Washington.-When Rear Admiral
William Writ Kimball hauls down his
flag from the cruiser Albany as COM
mander-in-chief of the Nicaragua ex
peditionary force he will have ended
a five months tour of duty which has
been of exceptional interest and i'm
portance. The assignment, moreover,
has been extremely complimentary to
him, inasmuch as he is the only off,
Ger of the navy who has been as
signed to the command of a squadron
after having been transferred from
the list of active service to the roster
of the retired.
The admiral had already rounded
out the stipulated period of active
service when the Nicaraguan trouble
broke out. When in the first of last
December the government deemed 1T
necessary to send strong body of
marines and numerous force of war
ships to the scene, 1t was announced
that Admiral Kimball, then on duty
in Washington, had been assigned to
command the expedition. The ad-
miral was then almost on the
verge of retirement and it was prac-
tically certain that this duty would
considerably overlap into the retired
period. But as explained by the navy
department, "Kimball is the very man
for the work.
Those intimately acquainted with
the admiral and who had fore
knowledge of what the work was like
ly to be, did not need that official in
dorsement to know that he was the
very man to handle it. Eminently
competent in his profession, the ad-
miral possessed other qualifications
which peculiarly fitted him for this
task, one of these being a thorough
knowledge of international law. The
result has shown that it was to Ad-
miral Kimball more than to any 9TH

MONTHLY MEETING OF
 PARISH HOUSE ASSOCIATION. Paper on Florentine Life by Miss Mary A. Aiken-Songs by Miss Brand.

There were about fifty ladies present at the regular monthly meeting of the Parish House association, which was held in the Osgood Memorial on Fri day afternoon. The meeting was con- ducted by the president, Mrs. A. N. H. Vaughn. In the absence of the sec retary, Miss Pullen, Miss Avery was appointed to serve at the meeting. The Sylnington. The music for the after noon was furnished Joy Miss Elsie D. Brand, who gave four songs in fine voice and much to the delight of her audience Her songs were Smiths Thou Art Like Unto a Flower, and Wilson's Carmena, with Carpenters s Morse Lullaby and Finden's Temple Bells as the encores. Miss Alice L.. Woodward nlayed her accompaniments-
 Miss Mary A. Aiken read an ex- tremely entertaining paper on Eloren- tine life, purporting to be leaves from the journal of an Italian courier. She drew a picture of Florence and it's people today and in the days of the fighting Guelphs and Ghibellines of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. After this came more peaceful times, when the great Medici family were the rulers of Florence. This journal of Luigi Soderini began in 1469 and tells of Florence in the days of Lorenzo de Medfci, an exciting tale of jousts, pa geants, murders, wars, the gay life of the people and their pursuit of know ledge, beauty and pleasure-wfth DOT traits of the historic figures of the time, ending with the death of Lorenzo
 Miss Aiken drew a fascinating pic ture of the life of Florence at that time and her paper was heard with great interest and pleasure. Tea was served at the close of the meeting by Miss Meech, Mrs. Zebulon R. Robbins, Mrs. Mrs. Hughes and Miss Frances D. Young poured
