Assistant Naval Head
Has Word for "Jingoes''

Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Roosevelt believes the 'jingoes' do
some good after all because, through
their bellicose statements, the people be-
come more familiar with the workings
of the army and navy. For instance -
said the Assistant Secretary, when one
Of these periodical war scares IL at its
malignant stage. many OF US are for
the first time informed that the United
States navy has a gross tonnage OF
763. 1852 tons and co2sists Of 146 ships Of
all classes, exclusive OF supply and re-
pair vessels, and that the sea-fighttng
force of Japan has a tonnage OF 1882.
but has 159 vessels OF all classes. Again
for the first time the layman learns
that in the United States navy there
are 6O,617 officers and men, while Japan
boasts Of 1923. Thus the .jingoes un-
consciously conduct q campaign OF edu-
cation which makes more for peace than
war"
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt declares
there never was a time In our history
when the sea-hghting forces OF this
country were in better condition"

District Commissioners to refine their
policy with reference to the bridge span
ming the Anacostia river at Pennsylva-
mia avenue southeast. When the Com
missioners and the War Department

that a new bridge be asked.
The appropriation for q draw was not
allowed, and the citizens have been
advised that the Commissioners have
made q ruling which will prevent any
vehicle weighing more than five tons
from crossing the bridge.

citizens is that the Pennsylvania rail-

And another:
Little Lotto thought OF everything
and nothing. Her hair was golden as
the suns rays and her soul as clear
and blue as her eyes. She wheedled
her mother, was kind to her doll. took
great care of her frock and her little
red shoes and her fiddle, but most OF
all loved, when she went to sleep. to
hear the Angel of Music"
While the old man told this story,
Raoul looked at Christines blue eyes
and golden hair; and Christine
thought that Lotto was very lucky to
hear the Angel of Music when she
went to sleep. The Angel Of Music
played a part in all Daddy Daae's
tales: and he maintained that every
great musician, every great artist re-
ceived visit from the Angel at least
once in his life. Sometimes the An
gel leans over their cradle, as hap
pened to Lotto, and that is how there
are little prodigies who play the tid-
die at six better than men at fifty.
which. you must admit, is very won
derful. Sometimes, the Angel comes
much later, because the children are
naughty and won't learn their lessons
or practice their scales. And, some
times, he does not come at all. be-
cause the children have a bad heart
or bad conscience.
None one ever sees the Angel; but
he is heard by those who are meant
to hear him. He often comes when
they least expect him. when they are
sad and disheartened Then their
ears suddenly perceive celestial har-
monies, a divine voice, which they re-
member all their lives. Persons who
are visited by the Angel culver with
a thrill unknown to the rest OF man
kind. And they cannot touch an in
strument. or open their mouths to
sing. without producing sounds that
put all other human sounds to shame.
Then people who do not know that
the Angel has visited those persons
say that they have. genius.
Little Christine asked her father II
he had heard the Angel Of Music But
Daddy Daae shook his head sadly:
and then his eyes lit up, as he said:
You will hear him one day, my
child! When | am in heaven, l will
send him to you!"
Daddy was beginning to cough at
that time.
Three years later, Raoul and Chris
tine met again at Perros. Professor
Valerius was dead, but his widow re-

ing at Lannion with his aunt.
During the season they saw each
other and played together almost
every day. At the aunt's request, sec
onded by Professor Valerius, Daae
consented to give the young viscount
some violin lessons. In this way
Raoul learned to love the same airs
that had charmed Christines child
hood They also both had the same
calm and dreamy little cast OF mind.
They delighted in stories. in old
Breton legends; and their favorlte
sport was to go and ask for them at
the cottage-doors, like beggars:
.'Ma'am :" or, kind gentle,
man have you little story
to tell us, please?"
And 1t seldom happened that they
did not have one given" them; for
nearly every old Breton grandame
has, at least once In her life. seen the
"korrigans" dance by moonlight on
the heather.
But their great treat was, in the
twilight, in the great silence OF the
evening, after the sun had set in the
sea, when Daae came and sat down
by them on the roadside and. in a
low voice, as though fearing lest he
should frighten the ghosts whom he
evoked told them the legends OF the
land of the north. And, the moment
he stopped. the children would ask
for more.
There was one story that began:
"A king sat in little boat on one
of those deep. still lakes that open
ike bright eye in the midst OF the
