good one, but the land will in
crease much more in value. IN

owner Of the Christianson resi-
dence On Seventh street and the

POPPER'S ANSWER TO LIST
poser's Seeming Attack on the
Jewish Race.

Among the anecdotes told about the
late David Pepper is an interesting
one relating to List. 1t is well known
that many OF the pages attributed to
List were really written by the Pr1n-
cess Sayn- Wittgenstein. The most
fragrant instance was the insertion by
her in one OF his books of some pages
attacking the Jews and advising their
deportation in l'ody to Palestine.
List was greatly annoyed at this, for
such sentiments were entirely foreign
to his character, and many Of his best
friends we're Jews; among them David
Pepper, the famous violoncellist. Not
long after the appearance of the book
referred to Pepper made a call on
List, who was delighted to see him,
and asked when he came and where
he was going. 81 am on the way to
Palestine, dear master, in accordance
with your wishes" was the prompt an
swer.

Mistress-But is that your only rea'
son for leaving, cook? Of course sucn
things are not allowed, and l can soon
put a stop to them. And, really as
long as your master doesn't carry on
with you l don't see why you should
wish to leave me-
Cook think I'll go all the same

used to be nice to me, but he wouidn'
ever be the same again now

the Cyclops. The bunkers Of the bat
tleships will be full of coal when they
leave Hampton roads. With the three
new coal ships blowing in it's wake,
the fleet Of dreadnoughts will demon
strate its ability to subsist for three
month cruise without calling in any
outside source of supply whatever.
No ship will take on coal other than
from the accompanying GOLFERS from
the time 1t leaves Hampton roads un-
til its return, period of nearly three
months.
The same is true with reference to
supplies for the $500 men who are
making the cruise. The larder of all
the ships will be full when the cruise
is begun. The great cold storage com
partments will be stocked with frozen
meat and throughout the trip the men
will have as good food as when in a
home port. The supply ship Celtic,
which is the last word in the way of
an up-to-date refrigeration plant afioat,
will accompany the fleet, and from it's
stores the dreadnoughts will draw
men necessary, although 1t Is figured
that the three-month cruise could be
made even without the supply ship.
This self-dependence of the feet is
intended as a demonstration of the
possibilities In time of need The
feet wants to show that 1t can go
forth and give an account of itself
for three months without the neces-
sity of returning to the home port
There are few campaigns at sea that
would require more than three
months. Conflicts at sea that would
make world history could be initiated
and brought to conclusion in less
time. Almost any point in the world
could be reached from our supply
bases and the force of tho whole navy
hurled against it without any occa-
sion to worry about food and fuel
When nine of the great dread
noughts of the Atlantic fleet steam out
of Hampton roads force will have
been set in motion that is almost be-
yond conception. Each of these nine
vessels will represent a weight OF
10000 tons. The nine, together with
the golfers and supply ship, would
weigh more than 100000 tons. To
carry the weight here represented
would require $500 freight cars,
which, strung out ON the tracks, would
make line thirty miles long. When
steam is up and these ships are NOV
ing at the rate of twenty knots an
hour there is 2 force in motion that
comes near being irresistible.

FAILED TO RECOGNIZE SON
Mother Could Not Imagine How Boy
Had Shot Up Seven Inches in
Five Months.

There are all kinds of champions
and would-be champions, but when the
Goldfish schooner Ottilie F'jord arrived
at San Francisco from Behring sea a
new brand was registered-the worlds
champion grower.
A grower might mean grower of
a great many kinds of things, but in
the case of Henry Sullivan, an eight
een-year-old San Francisco boy, who
made the trip north on the windjam-
mer, he grew tall, very tall
When young Sullivan left San Fran
cisco on the codfsher five months ago
he was a STRIPPING lad five feet five
inches tall. When he returned recent
il his mother, who was at the dock,
lid not recognize him, as during the
five months at sea he had grown seven
inches.
Unlike many boys who have made
the trip north, Sullivan did not return
with a tale of woe about hardships and
rigors of the trip.
Until the desire to go to sea on a
codDshing boat seized him Sullivan
was a Western Union messenger boy.
