 Japan with her modern built battleships could wipe out the en- tire force of the United States from the Pacific as easily as one of our Atlantic dreadnoughts could destroy fleet of wooden men-of-war of 100 years ago. An enemy could easily land an army of 100000 or 100000 men with impunity on the Pacific coast and it Is questionable wheth- CT the coast defenses at Honolulu could repel a naval attack by mod ern battleships. Even if a naval attack were unsuccessful an army could be landed within a few miles of these Qualifications and the forts could be invested from the rear"
 "The chance of our being inyolV- ed in a war in the Pacific seems re- mote. But many wars were declar- ed impossible until thye broke out. If we are sure that we shall have no more wars, then all the millions that we spend on army and navy are thrown away, and we ought to abol- ish those useless establishments at once. If prudence demands that they be kept in state of efficiency prudence also demands that we fore cast the emergencies under which they may be needed, and that we remedy any conditions which might condemn our valiant army and navy to inaction, and by that very fact invite attack. A stitch in time saves nine. He who offers his un- protected cheek to the smiter is apt to be smitten. No sensible man wants war if it can possibly be avoid

NOTHING ID NOTHING IN NINTH;
 THEN GIANTS PLAY THE GAME

The weather was ideal for the game and an immense crowd was present to witness it. The enthus- iasm was intense but suppressed un- til the tenth innings when the Giants scored three runs.

PRIZES FOR BEST
GARDENS N VIRGINIA

The city beautiful is the war cry
of the park board for 1918. Prizes
will probably be awarded for the
best front yard in the city and every
endeavor will be made to have the
residents continue the good work
that was begun last summer.
For man years people thought
that if they lived up in the iron
mining country it was not worth
while to attempt to beautify their
gardens but the good work done by
the Commercial club, the schools and
the park board had helped greatly
to get residents to take a pride in
their surroundings.
Not content with the work already
done the Commercial club and the
park board will again take up the
matter OF the city beautiful this
summer and do all in their power
to stimulate the interest and efforts
of the amateur gardeners of V1r>
ginia who are doing SO much to
make the city more and more a
pleasant place to live in.
