Although by no means a 1nilitarfst, in the sense that he demanded at any time measures of aggression, the late Rear Admiral Alfred Thayer MaE1a11 who died suddenly in Washington, had preached for years the necessity of the United States being prepared. His writings, the nost important of which were for the purpose of showing the infIuence of naval affairs in the stFug- gIes Of nations, were all dominated By tF1se thought. He believed that nations, iin the past and present paid too little attention to sssea poSxer,'s a phrase used consistently by him, and most Of his books, which attracted great attention, were analyses Of the effect of water struggles in past wars. A1though he was in the navy for many years and saw active service in the civN war he was probably best known as a theoretical stfategfst and naval historian Some Of his books have been translated into many foreign Ianguages. He WAS born in 1s4O at West Point.

HOW LORD KITCHENER HAMMERS

I lifted themselves on one arm and the
other arm and both arms. Between
times the instructors criticized them

".You-you chap with the long hair
are you bloody fool?" ....
They laid upon their. backs in the
wet and waved one leg In the air, and
the other leg in the air, and both legs
In the air. They rose and bowed over
and touched their toes. They went
through every movement that the dew
J fish ingenuity of drillmasters has de.
vised. Between times they stretched
at full length and painted and per.
spired. ...
Double time" rs,
They were trotting about the field, a
quarter of mile trot at time. When
they couldn't trot any longer the in
structor walked them. When their legs
began to kink up they sat on the
ground and watched the other mem
those in khaki-go through open order
movements and company drills. These
latter were advanced students of the
art of man killing. The neophytes had
envy in their eyes.
Those Who Were Broke.
At the railroad station that night we
saw those who couldn't keep the
Kitchener pace. They were little,
runty chaps, for the most part with
rat eyes and narrow shoulders and
Jaws that subtly differed from the or
binary human jaw. A big Scotch lance

them, ruthlessly Indifferent to the fact
that his miserable charges heard him.

These miserable little creatures had
been cast by the authorities, They
lacked something In mind or. body
They were unfit for the great game.
and were unfeignedly glad of it. One
man with a great jaw and q shock Of
blond hair stood with his eyes fixed
on the wall during the hours wait
for a delayed train and roared in
rough, loud voice ditty after ditty of
the music halls. Others seized each
other by the shoulders and shuffled
about in queer, Dack-street dances.

Two or three hundred of them are

are obviously Of superior type. But
there is such q large proportion of
