house committee on expenditures In

of water. which will not be drained for
many years, II ever, and the ultimate
value of which is doubtful.
The situation came to a head when
Representatives Clark and Bathrick ap-

Cradle of New York Yacht Club

|
 Shortly after the revolution Colonel Stevens purchased Hoboken, which was then an island of swamps and rocky hills, and established the family on Castle Point, beautiful promontory overlook ing the Hudson and New York city. John c. Stevens. the father of American watching, was born there in 1785.
 There were no ferries in those days and the Stevens boys of necessity be- came expert boatmen. At 14 John c. owned a sailboat of 20 feet length named Diver. As the years passed by he had the schooner GimcracA built for him by William Cape3 in Hoboken.
 This boat is one of the most historic craft of American watching, since she was the cradle of the New York Yacht club, the organization being accomplished In her cabin on July 30. 1S44, the year in which so many of the worlds greatest achievements occurred. On that day John c. Stevens called a meeting of the yachts men, which assembled aboard the Gim- crack. anchored off the Battery, New York. and here the constitution of the New York Yacht club was drawn up.

SCHOOLS FOR LAYMEN

Churches are taking steps. through their official agencies. to establish training schools for laymen. The laymen. on their own account. are also making similar moves. The Southern Presbyterian as- sembly named committee tc draw up courses of study, and encourage synods to plan. classes. Their aim Is to make the schools continuous throughout the year. but as a beginning the first sum- mer school in the southern church has just closed its successful session at Jack son, inaugurated there by the synod of Mississippi.
 The purpose of these schools Is to make more effective the larger interest now held by laymen. In a few cases 1t is contemplated to pay trainel men who act as leaders. but the governing idea is that those who are trained in these schools shall be lawyers, hank clerks. professional and other. business men. who give their spare time, or some part of 1t. without salaries.

SUPPLYING FOOD
 IN CANAL ZONE Federal Department Store Is
 Proving Success IS NO COMPETITION Goods Tested by Chemical Experts. Cold Storage Plant Covers 25 Acres-Bake 72 Loaves of
 Bread Per Minute
By SIDNEY EspnY

Washington, July 20-(Special.) )-From reports received at the headquarters of the Isthmian canal commission here, Col. Eugene T. Wilson, U. s. A. chief sub sistence officer of the canal zone writes of the continued progress made by gov ernment owned department store in sup plying food and other necessities to em- ployes of the canal zone
 During the past year. he says, the store did a business of over s6,0o0000 and ca tered to the wants of over 100000 GUS toners, most of whom are employees and their families who are engaged in work for the government. All of the canal employees are practically dependent upon the government for their food and cloth ing which is sold at almost cost. Prac- tically no outside competition exists, the government having an almost complete monopoly of supplying necessities and luxuries to all those who inhabit the ten mile strip. There are few stores both at Cristobal and Panama. the reports state. but so inferior to the department store conducted by the government that there Is no comparison.
 Last year the department store sold A. 0O0,00O pounds of fresh beef, a quarter of a million pounds of fresh lamb and mutton. In the grocery department 4oo.- 900 chickens. 100000 turkeys and ducks. one half million pounds of bacon, s,o0O,000 eggs and altogether over SS,000 tons of various food supplies Flour sales ag- gregated nearly 60o0,0oo pounds; rice, D. 0oo.oo0 pounds; condensed milk, 100000 pounds of peas and beans, 1.0Oo.0O0 pounds, FOG, 900 cans of tomatoes, 3o0,0 900 pounds of fish and 5S,00O cans of pork and beans. Fruits from California. from Delaware, New York the middle west and from the far south were transported to the isthmus to meet the demands of the customers of this big department store.
 From California 226,O0O dozen oranges were sent to the isthmus by boat and by rail. From Florida cantaloupes and grape fruit were carried From the mid dle west the choicest of apples and from

Vienna, July 20.-(Special) )-By the pass ing of the new army bill which has been Q bone of contention with the Hungarian parliament for decade, the dual mon- archy can place in the field at a months notice a fully equipped force of over two million men. It is admitted in diplo- matic circles that the urgent insistence Spf the German Emperor had a great deal to do with the decision of the Austrian government to force the passage of the measure.
 Austro- Hungary Is now more closely duct of questions affecting foreign policy The army bill is but a part of a gen. eral plan of military and naval prepared ness which Is being hurried to perfection on the advice of Kaiser Wilhelm.
 Reports which have reached Vienna from Albania tell of terrible attocites during the recent revolt. Whole families were put to the sword both by rebels and the troops of the Young Turk govern ment. A Turkish officer with drawn sabre entered the house of wealthy Albanian lady and attacked and beheaded her two young daughters before her eyes, after wards staying the mother Thousands fled into the hills to escape slaughter at the hands of either government or rebel cut-throats.
