TORPEDO POVERTY OF
UNITED STATES ALARMS

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Discovery
that the torpedo boat flotillas in case
of war would virtually be useless
after they had discharged 700 torpe-
does has aroused Representative Brit
ten, of Illinois, Republican member of
the House naval affairs committee
That number of torpedoes, according
to Mr.. Britten, is the sole stock on
hand in the United States navy, and
the two factories which manufacture
the death dealing engines can turn
out only limited number each year.
Mr.. Britten today announced his
intention of introducing a bill appro-
priating 100000 to double the capacity
of the naval torpedo plant at New
port, r. I. The Illinois member is
recently returned from a tour of in
spection of the Atlantic coast navy
yards taken with his fellow members
of the House committee. He declares
that of the stock OF 700 torpedoes
many are not new, and that their re-
placement would be a serious prob
lem in war time because of the limit
ed capacity of the two producing
plants, one of which is private con-
Germ.

NEW YORK, July 25.-Fannie De-

''She was in an automobile that was

This Information was given to the

A CLARET LEMONADE
BARES STATE SECRETS
Page Indicates Country He Is
Appointed to by Drink

Four men were seated in close con-
sultation about a table in secluded
corner of a gorgeous cafe in Penn
sylvania avenue, Washington. When
they could do so without being OBJ
served ever and anon they'd cast
fuftive glances at a party of three
enjoying themselves hugely at an adj
Joining table.
One of the party of three was a
plea SAINT looking little man with a
good-sized mustache and head of
hair that was once blonde. He's the
gent" the newspaper correspondents
are watching. They have been
watching him for hours. They fol-
lowed him there. They see him give
an order to a waiter.
One of them declares that if the
waiter brings a glass of beer it'F a
cinch the little man has been ap-
pointed ambassador to Germany. An
other Announces that if champagne is
served it announces France as his

body but a Washington correspond
ent can grow on an otherwise per-
fectly human face.
Suddenly the fourth man, who had
said nothing, leaped to his feet and
dashed out of the room. He had a
view of the waiter returning from
the bar with the order. He saw that
the glass on the tray contained
claret lemonade. Arriving at the
telegraph office, he sent this dis
patch:
Thomas Nelson Page has been ap-
pointed ambassador to Italy"
1t was even so!
The little man was Thomas Nelson
Page. He had just come from the
White House, where his friend and
fellow author, Woodrow Wilson, had
offered him the post of ambassador to
italy and he straightaway made for
the nearest cafe to get into training
for his job. 1t doesn't take very
smart deducer to associate red wine
and lemons with italy. Anybody who
has eaten dinner at an italian res
taurant or passed fruit vendors
push-cart could do that.
InOH1aS nelson rage is d. NlTBlnldil
and an author. He is go years old
more than half of which has been
spent writing books that the Ameri-
can people like to read.
Before starting in the author bust
ness he was a practising lawyer in
Richmond. He found it difficult to
make both ends meet at the bar and
he went on the lecture platform.
From lecturing he turned to books
and he has turned out a flve-foot
shelf of them, all by himself. They
all tell of Virginia and the South.
Page has made a lot of @fnanye with
his books and has spent the last few
years enjoying himself, He is
well-known and popular figure in al
most all the capitals of the old world.
Italy has welcomed him with open
arms-almost any one of the Euro
pean countries would have done the
same.
His clever wife was the widow of
the late Henry Field, of Chicago, be-
fore she married Page and is, re-
sponsible for good half of the social
success of the family.
