Annenberg testified as to general
conditions during the newspaper
strike. 81 saw a mob of 500 people
come down Madison street one
night, and they broke up newspaper

Judge Mckinley denied the motion.
Nothing of the dying declaration was
read to the jury except that part
which the defense attorneys indicated
they wanted in the record.
Following are all of the dying
words of'Frank Witt as read in part
to the jury and as entered in the court
record:
HE got on at Adams street and he
had button on and they hit him and
slugged him in the face. didn't know
what the trouble was and we kept on
going down to Washington street and

and from there they tok me over

When the foregoing was read to
the jury, O'Brien entered his motion
that all the rest of the statement be
read. The jury was dismissed while
the attorneys argued the motion.
Judge Mckinley ruled that the
rest of the statement was connected
with "a separate, isolated occasion"
and therefore should not go in.

AS he came to the end of the noxious
jungle he spied something through the
leaves-something that drew him con-

joyously forward! He instinctively took
a perfumed breath tablet as he galloped
forward perspiringly toward his magnet.

side. A young trooper was about to have
his leg anputated at the wrist and the
beautiful young nurse throbbed with deep
yet perfectly proper sympathy. But Just
you waiti She was quite unconscious OF
the charms of her figure as revealed by
the alluring. low-neclsed pink chiffon
nurses uniform she wore, as prescribed
by the army regulations. From some
where outside on the terrace were waited
from the muted violins of the Hunga-
rian orchestra the sensuous cadences of
Lion de Bal" interrningled with the
overpowering scent of the passion flower.
The young but susceptible surgeon,
Catesby Farquhar by name, was waiting
for her to hand him his instruments. A
strong sense of the strange fascination
of this girl was upon him. He did not
look at her, but he knew that her name
was tawny and curled in little watch
springs at the back of her neck; that her
eyelashes made q slithering sound when
blinds; that she looked as if the blood of
her face had all been squeezed down into
her red lips. He knew but too well, poor
wretch, that she was anything but help
full in the fever ward.
But Catesby had work to domains
work. So he gritted his bridgework and
turned toward her with expectant, out
stretched palm.
AS he did so he was Mortified at the
girls expression.
She was standing there in all her soul
and look in her unseeing eyes of a
blend of primordial passion, far-focussed
tenderness, unholy fanaticism with a
dash of hypnotic hystera!

this be she?"

different individual than the man-o'
warsman of twenty years ago. of even
fifteen years ago. said Capt. McAllister
the other day. putting aside a stack of
papers that had figures all over them
quite appropriate papers for an engineer
to have about him, but wholly out of
keeping on the desk of a poet.
The jacky at Vera Cruz is a boy from
a middle western farm. He saw the navy
recruiting poster on a barn door In the
village He was charmed by the colors
and the possibility of the new and en-
trancing life it depicted. Visions Of
dreamy-eyed senoritas, of coral beaches,
digging hay.
"'Me fer that there navy thing" said
he to himself
HE enlisted at Chicago and got his
first smell of powder on the lake front.
The naval authorities took the hayseed
out of his hair and the mud off his
boots and began teaching him his new
trade. Presently, an alert, clear-eyed, ac-
tive, healthy, ambitious young man, he
was sent to a ship on the coast. And
then the ship took him to Vera Cruz.

He isn't sailor man at all in the old
sense of the word. Old sailor traditions
mean nothing to him; the one tradition
that sticks is the fine spirit of service and
loyalty that ever has characterized the
American navy.
THE man-o'warsnan today has none OF
the picturesque old vocabulary of the
days of sail. He does not 'shiver' his
timbers' and he would not know what
any one was talking about who used the
phrase And as for splicing the main
brace; well. splicing the main brace has
gone out of vogue.
The navy course of instruction for ap-
prentices and landsmen teaches the new
trade of man-o' Workmanship. And 1t Is
an entirely new trade Mixed in with it
are a lot of other trades that are useful
to the lad when he leaves the service and
goes back to civil life. He, for one thing,
can learn electrical engineering, and for
another he can become frst-class ma
chinist
But first of all, the course of instruc-
ton teaches him Self-respect, and respect
for his body quite as much as it teaches
him respect for proper authority. 1t fans
the spirit of true manhood into glowing
flame.
THE rudiments of ordinary education
are far from being overlooked. When
the navy has been likened to a vast
school the characterization has not been
misappled. 1t is school which gradu-
ates good men-o'-warsmen and good citi-
Zens.
THE result is navy totally unlike
anything we ever had before. and also
unlike anything any other nation has.
Made up of the pick of young American
manhood, it typifes all that is best in
our national life.
Formerly the enlisted men Of the navy
were largely foreign Just before the
Spanish-American war the change to
American stock began. But even during
that war the naval vessel on which
served had seventeen nationalities repre-
scented in her crew. including some Ameri-
cans. Most of the men in the old days
were squareheads'

to discipline as the old jacky did. He is
a more independent Individual; thinks
more for himself. does not require so
much leading, and has, perhaps. bit
more of typical American Impotence of
restraints and regulations. Your aver
age young collegian is not amenable to
over-much discipline. Your present-day

all things very much the same lad as the

form of discipline that appeals to his in
