FLEET STARTS
TOEUROPE TODAY
Nine Battleships to Leave
Hampton Roads on Seven
Weeks Cruise.
GIBRALTAR FIRST STOP
Enlisted Men WI Be Allowed to Make
Sightseeing Trips from the
Various Ports.
GIBRALTAR FIRST STOP

The first American battleshlp feet to
visit Europe in two years will sail from
Hampton Roads early this afternoon, en-
route for the Mediterranean Sea- Nine
battleships Of the Atlantic Fleet, led by
the flagship Wyoming, which is, with
ship of the navy, will start on a seven
weeks cruise.
As the vessels steam out, in column
formation, from Hampton Roads, they
will be reviewed from the bridge of the
sunboat, Dolphin, by Assistant Seere-
tary OF the Navy Roosevelt. Mr.. Roose-
welt will have with him on the Dolphin a
party of government officials, including
Acting Secretary Of War Breckenridge.
Assistant Secretary of State Osborn, and
United States Treasurer Burke. Salutes
viii be fired by each of the vessels
From Hampton Roads the battleships
will steam for Gibraltar, the first stop.
Then they will separate, in squadrons Of
two ships, and visit different ports of
France and Italy. Each ship will remain
at the port for which II has been desig-
mated about two weeks, while the wyom-
ing. the flagship, will visit three ports,
Malta, Naples, ard Villefranehe. The
return will be made to New York, where
the vessels are due December Is.
Plans for Sightseeing.
The present cruise has been planned
exclusively for the benefit OF the Of
ficers and enlisted men. Every effort
will be made to give all the men ample
opportunity to go sightseeing ashore.
Extended trips into the inland will be
permitted, and plans have already been
made for the enlisted men TO visit Flor
ence, Rome, Venice, Paris and other
places.
The fleet which will sail today is in
fnitely superior to that which sailed
round the world in 19O7-S. Most of the
vessels in the fleet which will soon be
under the eyes of Europeans are the
newer ships OF the navy. The hitting
power of the modern twelve-inch gun is
many times greater than that OF the old
gun, while the new arrangement OF put.

the manufacturer gives the buyer his
greatest protection is the idea put
forth by c. c. Winninghan, adyer-
Using manager of the Hudson Mo-
tor Car company. The reason. says
Mr.. Winningham, is that the firm
making the motor car is willing to
afflx it's name and stake its reputa-
ton upon the goods fulfilling the
claims made in the advertising. and
companies that do advertise and sell
their cars, even though they are not
of the best quality, are not exactly
the companies that any buyer should
patronixe.
Manufacturers WHO conduct their
business upon this modern manner of
merchandising set aside a certain
appropriation each year for adver-
Using purposes. At first thought 1t
may seem that this is a tax which
the consumer pays, but instead 1t is
an insurance. just as you pay a pre-
MUM to protect your property
against fire.
THE very fact that even though
the consumer must pay certain
amount of the purchase money of his

given the car is the protection the
buyer obtains in the guarantee 1t

To Punish Catholic Deputies.
Bishop Koppes. the Roman Catholic
bishop of Luxembourg, has taken steps
10 punish the Catholic deputies who
voted last year for the new school law,
q measure which materially restricts
the powers of the church in the grand
duchy in the control of schools.
The bishop issued an order prescrib-
ing that delegates who voted for the
bill be refused participation in the
Easter communion unless they made
formal declaration that they regretted
their vote; that they would endeavor
to have the churchas former powers in
school affairs restored, and that they
authorized their respective pastors to
report to the bishop 10 this effect. De-
NAL of the Easter communication is
tantamount to the lesser excommuni-
cation, and the delegates affected, vir-
tuaTly all of whom are members Of the
Catholic church, were seriously con-
cerned over the situation. Some few
of them repudiated their legislative
action, but a majority accepted the
punishment of the church.

When Burchardt reported last au-

entering the army as a recruit, the
army surgeons found him in excellent
physical condition, but were forced to
reject HIM as unavailable because he
was extremely knock kneed. The youg1g g
man, who wanted badly to serve, sent
petition to the emperor for aid. The
emperor responded by having him
sent to a hospital for an operation and
paid the expenses from his private
purse. The operation was a complete
success.
