Had World Wide Influence.

New York, Dec Lit has been said Of Rear Admiral Mahan that his works on the influence of sea power on world history are responsible for the Ger man Emperor's naval policy and have had more profound influence on the trend of the naval thought and action. not only in the United States and Germany, but in Great Britain and throuchout the world. than the writ ings of any other man.
 In naval circles the world over his contributions on this great subject have been hailed as almost, epoch mak- ing. His works have been translat- ed into German by order of Emperor William. at whose bequest they have become textbooks for the German na- val officers.
 Emperor William has been for 2b years close student of all that Ma han has written. and it is asserted that by imperial command even mag azine articles have been reproduced in the German tongue that nothing from the great American authority should be lost to the Emperor's officers.

CURIOS FOR WE STERLY ' ORGANIZATION
Historical Society Presented Articles of InterestFnal Ac count in Isaac c. Llibridge Estate Horse Thief Call ing Himself Freeman Snow, Sent to Jai-Foreotten Keys Expensive for Major Nash

The Westerly Historical society, though quite young, Is already the re- poSitory of many articles of interest by reason of antiquity, or local or gen. eral historical association and addi- tons are gradually being made as a nucleus for museum that is destined to be of some magnitude The West cry Memorial and Library association has a large collection of articles of this nature and of great value, and 1t Ag probable that when a real public museum is established, there will be consolidation of interests of both orr gantzaations in that particular line.
 Among the latest articles to be do- mated is an ancient piece of English oaks which has this newspag clipping attached: Ethan Wilcox, vt White Rock, has shown us piece Of English oak. which Is & curiosity not only for it's age, but for the history of which it is a part, and which is given as follows: Piece of the ship Sparrow hawk from England. which came tn- to Nanset harbor, Orleans, Mass, in 1897. in a heavy gale of wind, which closed up to the harbor so that she could never get out. The crew strip per her of her. sails and rigging and burnt her to the waters eadge; after which she became embedded in the sand some thirty feet deep, where she remained until 1862, some 2S5 years, WAAGU huObuCI HS1fy GeA1S O~~1A N0 which washed her out"
 While the relic bears all signs of age in appearance, still the bit of oak is sound, and being thoroughly season. cd, is even harder than when first used in connection with thes construc- Hon of the English ship. MT. Will COX is now librarian emeritus of the Westerly Public library and the relic has been in hls possession about forty years. Mir. Wilcox also presented a sand shaker made of rosewood and o1 artistic design. This was used by Mir. Wilcox when young man, in the days before plotting paper was known and when black sand was Eprsnlnled over the letter sheet to absorb the undried ink.
 Three other articles of interest have just been presented by Sarton F. Berry, who received them from his father, Weeden Berry, former high sheriff and prominent citizen of Vest eriy. One is cane. or dog stick with leather lash, carried by King Tom of the Narragansett tribe of Indians An- other is a pair of ivory earrings talk

NEW YORK RELEASES
BIRDIE CREE TO THE
BALTIMORE ORIOLES
From the Angle Of the Bug
By ASA RosrNTREn, JR.

CEyERAL weeks ago when the
Basketball FIVE of the Birming-
~ ham Athletic club suffered a
humiliating defeat in Columbus at the
hands of the Columbus Young Mems
Christian association. an energetic
young scribe of that progressive burg
became wrathy over stories appear
Ing in local papers stating that con-
ditions in Columbus were such that it
was almost impossible for a visiting
team to win, and also over the wait
until Columbus comes to Birming-
ham" slogan that was adopted by the
local team. So enthused was he over
the Columbus team, and so certain
was he Of their prowess that he took
the local papers to task for even in
sinuating that the Athletic club had
any sort of chance against Joe
Bridges coalition of stars This
young Columbus scribe, not being
content with the issuance of this repri-
mand went even further and predict
ed that a rude shock was in store
for the Birmingham Athletic CLUB
team, and that the game would be
more of a fiasco than the previous
one.
A rude shock did result from the
game, but the despised locals We're not
the recipients of it. Instead, they
team and gave it a lesson in basket
ball that will long be remembered.
The slogan of wait until Columbus
comes to Birmingham was carried
out to the letter, and it is likely that
in the future this unsophisticated
founding of the press will mediate
deeply before attempting to ridicule
fellow scribes who know the abilities
of the home team.
Shunted to the minors, Outfielder
Birdie Cree of the Yankees will see
service outside of the majors during
the 1914 season for the first time in
many years. According to an an
nouncement of the New York man.
agement the diminutive gardener has
been released to the Baltimore club
In the International league.
The removal of the Toledo American
association club to Cleveland assures
continuous baseball for that city dur
ing the 1914 season. For sometime 1t
has been argued by Cleveland fans
that Cleveland was large enough to
support two teams and was entitled to
continuous baseball. With the trans
ferring of the Toledo franchise, Cleve-
land fans will now have chance to
prove their contention. The new team
will occupy the Nap plant while that
club is on the road.
Although President Somers of the
Maps will not admit that a contem-
plated Federal invasion prompted him
in removing the Toledo franchise to
Cleveland, many fans of that city are
of the opinion that this was the main
reason underlying the change. Now
should the F'ederals attempt to plant
a club. in Cleveland they will not only
have to battle the American league
team, but also an American associa-
ton one as well.
The transferring of the American as
