EXPLAINS THE "WAR SCARE"

Secretary of War Dickinson whose
suppressed report to congress caused
the war scare" which set Washington
official circles topsy turvy for few
days. has offered an explanation as to
how II all came about. The disclosure
of cross purposes in connection with
the report OF the secretary of war, it
seems, was occasioned by something
that went wrong in bureaucratic rou-
tine.
The president was entirely ignorant
of the contents of the report sent to
congress by Secretary Dickinson and
afterward suppressed. Secretary Dick
inson understood that the president
had seen the report and approved its
contents.
The report was prepared by Mai.

secretary in his trip around the world.

This natural light never fails, and
that means much for navigation. 1t
is volcano on the island of San Sal
vador. This volcanic lighthouse Is
about eight miles inland from the port
OF Acajutla. 1t is verltable pillar OF
cloud by day, and the fash of It's light
by night has been valuable to marin
ers for years. It can be seen far out
at sea, and burst of fame has gone
upward every seven minutes, without
the variation of second, for many
years.
The few visitors who stop at San
Salvador amuse themselves the first
few days by holding their watches
and timing the outburst of flame
"A lighthouse fee is collected of all
vessels that put in at the harbor near
