Secretary Daniels Will Send
Atlantic Fleet to Ports of
the Mediterranean.
EDUCATION OF THE MEN
ONE OF HIS PURPOSES
Arrangements Will Be Made for Lib
eral Shore Leave at All Points
of Interest.

three month cruise in the Mediter
ranean for the entire Atlantic battleship
fleet is to be taken next winter by order
of Secretary of the Navy Daniels. Every
man is TO be given shore leave in all the
principal ports of the countries visited
during the cruise.
The cruise is consistent with the pur-
pose of the Secretary of the Navy to give
the enlisted men of the navy a liberal
educat ton The itinerary of the fleet will
be arranged TO serve this purpose.
The fleet has not been in European wa
tiers for two Years An outbreak of
cholera in a number of ports caused
abandonment of the proposed cruise of
division of the fleet last year in the Med
iterranean.
Speaking of his plans for the foreign
cruise. Secretary Daniels said:
Education for the Men.
Il have decided TO send the Atlantic
squadron on a winter cruise covering the
most interesting ports of the world. be-
cause 1 believe that we should offer to
the enlisted men every opportunity which
lies in our power to obtain that knowl-
edge of. other countries from personal OBJ
Servatif,n which. in every rank OF lie,
gives to the travelled man an advantage
in the upward struggle over those who
have spent their lives at home. The
cruise this winter will be so timed as to
give every man in the fleet shore leave
at every port of interest
Il of course, am a firm believer in the
general theory that the best way to flnd
out if anything will work is to try it and
see ] appreciate, from the technical side
the advantages that the officers of the
fleet will gain in long cruise of this
kind where various maneuVers can be
carried out at sea and many experiments
in communication between ships and
similar matters carried out under actual
service conditions.
But what seems to me equally. il not
more important is the educational value
of this trip to the men behind the guns.
hope before my administration is ended
that the public will have clear under
standing of the splendid training in
mechanics which the modern battleship
offers to enlisted men. No man who has
served in the navy leaves the service
without being far better equipped to earn
his living than he was before he enlisted.
The navy is a great and expensive IN
stitution which must be kept always ready
for times of war. Why not. then, use it as
great technical training school for our
country in times of peace?

THE ANGEL OF PATIENCE,

To weary hearts, to mourning homes.
Gods meekest angel gently comes; 4
power has he to Danish pain,
Or give us back our lost again; !
And yet in tenderest love our dear
And heavenly Father sends him here. {
There's quiet in that Angels glance,
There's rest in his still countenancei
mocks no grief with idle cheer,
Nor wounds with words the mourn-
er's
But ills and woe he may not cure
He kindly trains us to endure. 1
of Patience! sent to calm
Our feverish brows with cooling palm
lay the storms of hope and fear,
And reconcile 1ife's smile and tear:
The throbs of wounded pride to still,
And make our own our Fathers Wilt
0 thou who m%ournest on the way.
With longings for the close of day:
walks with thee. that Angel kind.
And gently whispers. BE resigned:
up, bear on, the end shall tell
The dear Lord ordereth all things
Well"
John ~zreenleae Whittier.

agent could have treated his company
in this manner and kept the agency OF
his company. The truth Of the matter
Is, there are too many companies and
too few good risks to go around; 30
some Of them must take what they
can get as long as they must continue
In the game.
Average Gross Income 1854.
In a certain town of less than 49,
900 people, and an annual premium in
come Of SIS, 200, there are twenty-sev-
en- agents. If the business were d.
Vided equally among all these agents,
there would be a premium income Of
$2,770 each. If the business should
produce an average Of 20 per cent
commission, there would be a gross
annual income Of 1854 for each agent.
How much office expense, taxes, dOna-
ions. to say nothing "of a living for
the agent, would such an amount pro-
vide: especially in this time of high
living expense? Is this not a sad
commentary upon so extensive and
important business as fire insurance?
Recent statistics show that there are
now in full fedge in the United States
seventy-tWo annexe and more
forming. Where will it ALI
end, and will the time
soon come when everyone having
property to insure will act as his own
insurance agent, getting whatever
commission there may be upon his
risk, into his own pocket instead Of it's
going to some old tried local agent?
In some towns certain companies are
now appointing merchants as insur~
ance agents. Such a practice would
seem to have no excuse for it's being.
Cat-and- Dog Competition.
And will MT Gro irrr~nron $1,000.
MES soon be compelled to heed the
warning OF the insurance commission
er Of New York, in his instructions to
casualty companies, when he says,
their underwriting must be based up
on statistical experience and free from
the clement Of competition" That
means they must charge such rates
and insist upon such practices as ex-
perience shows necessary TO support
the business prOftably. Is 1t not per-
fectly plain that If fire insurance COM
Danies continue to carry on the pres
ent method Of competition by multi
plying the number of agencies. that
the insolvency of some may be ex-
pected? 1t is popular nowadays to
encourage a cat and dog competition,
due somewhat to progressive politics.
The agent who writes insurance as a
side line is in effect, in the same
class as a cut rate merchant who is
now being SO much condemned by
right thinking people. He puts little
time n thought into his business,
writes badly constructed forms, thus
giving little or no service in return for
the premiums he collects, and yet the
companies will employ this kind of an
agent. and expect the public to be sat
isfied. Companies will never receive
fair treatment from the people until
they appoint a higher grade of agents,
n stop appointing incompetent men
as IL competitors.
Therefore the remedies suggested
are: concerted action by this associa-
ton In trying to induce companies
not to appoint new and untried agents,
and aid legislatures in passing laws
restricting the number OF agents in
each town or city, to a reasonable
number
