about to a very marked degree by the m hucnce of the Navy LogUe of the United States, iust as the German navy ot today was in a large measure created by the ef- forts of the German Naval League. Surely the splendid example set by these two or ganizaiions ought not to go unheeded; and, moreover, all indications point to the fact th at the time has come to enlist the interest of the American people in behalf Of the regular army and of the organized militia, and to initiate movement to bring them both up to the desired standard.
 The Army League desires to impress upon the people of this country the fact that all citizens have a certain military as wei! as civic responsibility, and that they should prepare themselves as fully as possl- ble to discharge this responsibility in an et- fc;ent manner Preparedness is the best insurance against war This can only bs done in time of peace

 With the sudden transformation of the United States into q world power in 1898 and with the new problems and new re responsibilities growing out of the Spanish American war you are unquestlCnably ia miEa-, and you undoubtedly appreciate the augmented responsibilities which must nec- essarily fall upon the American govern ment when the Panama canal Is opened. The defense of this canal will in a large measure dcvclve upon our land forces which at the present time are below the standard as to strength, organization and reserve of men and material compatible with the requirements and dignity of the United States, and still further below the standard which the new responsibilities about to be assumed will render obligatory
 "It is indeed gratifying that the Ameri can navy of today, while still below the strength deemed necessary to meet the requirements which may be made upon it, Is open to no such adverse criticism. Its growth and efhciency-of which Americans have reason to be proud brought

THE KITCHEN

(By Dr. Frank Crane in Seattle Sum
 If I ever get money enough 60 build . house of my own, the first thing shall con strrct will be the kitchen.
 The kitchen Is to the home what the stomach is to the body. The Greeks used to think the soul was located in the stom- ach, and it wasn't bad guess. Certain 1t is that you cannot see much glory Tn the universe when you have any kind of 8 >tomach ache
 My kitchen will be five things light clean, we'll equipped and comfortable to loaf in.
 To begin with the last I do not see why a man who owns house should be excluded from an essential part of it. Why should I be condemned to sit always in the front room surrounded by uncomfortable furniture slippery floors and fragile brlc- a-brac while the hired girl enjoys neat, hcmey kitchen?
 When I feel Ike it I want to occupy a care rocker by the window, look around cpon shining brass stewpans, and read Tn ,he recipe book how to make ginger cook .cs
 And then the sounds of the kitchen. They are more intimately lovely than any ether house voices. First and foremost the zcng of the teakettla; it just sings home and mother and scljd comfort right into the core Of your everlasting soul. Then the roar of the fire in the stove, the bubbling If the pot where the potatoes are boiling the angry sputtcr of ham frying, and above al, the solemn tick -tock of the cll clock, beating time like an orchestra leader over the whole performance
 Also comes tie oder of the kitchen, the fra.rance of bread just out of the oven, of Jhe fowl done to turn filling the air with an aroma beyond that of flowers, and, Lord | bless us all if that isn't a real pumpkin nie the cook has just delivered into the word It is an event that should be cele- brated with cheer and song.
 The eye feasts likewise. 1 want floor of cld-fashioned red brick on my kitchen j; in all the realm of art no cclor is so rich. burnished shields upon the shelf. l want to see the flash of the Sabatier knives in a row on the wall weapons in the noble war of gastroncmy. I want to see the cd Delft blue bowls and brown cooking vessels round about Besides there are the whiteness of white flour on the biscuit board, the spark ling heaps of sugar, the osy-cheekedness of apples the orangeness of oranges and the graperess of grapes.
 There is no place where you can feel so human as in the kitchen. Vixen vou are tired of being respectable, and y,ur soul is sck of good clothes oh, to come aside awhile here, in slippers and shirt sleeves, and in the cane rocker aforesaid read in peace in your daily paper all the antics of this mountebank world!
 And then-best of all-the little boy comes in; you know what he wants, and although 1t is against the rules, you steal for him two Jonathan apples and three sugar cookies. He beams undyng love at you, and skips out before mother sees him, while you, partner in such delicious crime read your paper as if nothing had happened.

How long this will be is yet uncertain, it depend ing entirely upon needs that the de yelopment of the mine may require. It was though quite a while back that it would be necessary to close and fill the cave. but happily for those who have more recently found pleas ure in visiting it, this was avoided.
