THREE months cruise In the
Mediterranean for the Allan
"A tic fleet next winter Is prom
&@ ised nv Secretary of the Navy
Daniels. The proposed cruise is in FUR
therance of his policy Of making the
United States navy in times of peace a
great educational school. where thou
sands Of young men could receive thor
ough technical knowledge and at the
same.time enjoy the advantages OF hrst
hand knowledge of the principal coun-
tries of the world.
In point of total tonnage and strength
of armament the feet to 60 to the Med
~iterranean will be much greater than
that of the feet which vent around
the world in 1907. Present plans are
TO send the Wyoming, the Florida, the
Arkansas. the Delaware, the North Da-
kota. the Utah, the Vermont, the Loui-
siana. the Michigan. the New Hamp-
shire. the South Carolina, the Virginia,
the Georgia, the Nebraska. the New
Jersey, the Rhode Island. the Mime
sofa the Connecticut. the Idaho and
the Kansas on the trip, which Will be-
gin on Jan. i.
Comparing these battleships with the
feet which went around the world they
aggregate a tonnage of $4,000 as
against 223. 500. while their muzzle en-
ergy Is 9,550.OO0 foot pounds as against
the 100000 foot pounds of the 1907
iotilla.
The tentative program is for the fleet
to start Jan. l for Gibraltar, where 1t
will divide and make a leisurely tour,
stopping at practically all the impor-
tant ports of the Mediterranean.
Explaining the object Of the cruise
Secretary Daniels said:
81 have decided to send the Atlantic
squadron on a winter cruise covering
the most interesting ports of the world
because I believe that we should offer
to the enlisted men every opportunity
which lies in our power to secur from
personal observation that knowledge
of countries which in every rank of life
gives to the travelled man an advan-
tage over those who have spent their
lives at home In the upward struggle.
The cruise this winter will be so timed
as 10 give every man in the feet shore

cept Eliza Skemp, who kept a few
boarders and had harbored him among

she was going TO marry him or had
married him.
Nobody seemed TO consider il hard
on Kentucky that it had fallen to his
lot TO swing for the general good. The
citizens had determined that the next
man to shoot and Kill should be tried
and convicted of murder-not tried
and acquitted. mind you. but tried aud
! convicted. That meant shooting was
to be stopped by making an example.
Kentucky had been playing for large
stakes with II gambler who had come
in the day before. The gambler pulled
an ace out of his sleeve, aud Kentucky
saw him do il. II would have been
all right If the gambler hadn't been
so clumsy as to get caught. 1t was
all right, too, for Kentucky to put Il
bullet between the gamblers eyes ex-

act must be made al example of. II
