One hundred and fifty happy children
are listening to the Navy Yard Band
this afternoon, hearing an address by
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roose-
welt, saluting the flag, following an
official raising. and entering into all
sorts of games and races which the
Navy Yard Camp Good VIII committee
has provided.
1t was the first of the weekly navy

gram was as elaborate as money, ef-
fort, and good judgment could make
it.
The committee arrived at p. m.
headed by Chairman B. p. Donnelly.
Chairman De Groot. Of last years COM

Chairman b. g. Ladd. chairman of the
prize committee.
An important part of the program this

Socialists ought to make n study OF
guide as to how they might fulfil their
utopian dreams. Some of the Eskimos
up the coast have fine gardens and
others herd reindeer or fish or hunt
when they feel like 1t and have a good
time generally without being bothered
about bloated capitalists until they
find some one from the Spirit city to
slough off few crib boards. A man
in Nome recently said that socialism
would mean the adoption of the ways
OF living which the Eskimos enjoy and
really the assertion opens a wide and
following up the suggestion. Social
lists usually have one pet aversion and
that Is work unless someone more
shrewd than the others makes 1t a
pastime to work his fellow liberators.
In this respect they exhibit one of the
most remarkable and enviable char
acteristics OF their dusky cousins and
the fact is sufficient ground for the
hope that Seward peninsula may yet
be the experimental ground for the
new order and that the walrus or
biubber may be the palladium of the
worlds liberties.

The picture which this plan conveys
