Marine corps today in a long program of
athletic sports which marked their cele-

maryeIed at the madness of the Amer
leans who toiled in the fierce tropical
heat and called 1t sport At noon the
total number of points made by the navy
in the athletic events was greater than
that of the army and Marine Corps COM
bined and the results of the events still
to be decided could not bring about any
change in their positions.
During the Roman race OF the cavalry
a native woman standing in front Of the
galloping teams after they had crossed
the finishing line became panic-stricken
and was unable to move as the horses ap-
preached her The driver of the first
team. unable to stop his horses, forced
them apart and the animals passed on
each side Of the woman at full gallop
with the rider straddling across the
space between the saddles. The woman
was untouched and thousands or soldiers
and sailors looking on at the DARING 1eat
cheered the rider.
Promptly at noon cannon from the
ships and shore Numbered national sa-
lutte of twenty-one guns, to which the
foreign warships in the harbor replied
gun for gun.

as In former years. The colonel was up
early. directing preparations for trip

the days are hot and business presses in
tolerably and so many things to do that
it does not seem possible to do anything
in the way it ought to be done. 1t Is
always possible to lift ones eye above
the past for the moment, and, as it were.
to take into ones whole being that great
thing of which We are all part-that
great body of American feeling and
Amrican principle.
Dream for the Future.
NO man could do the work he has to
do in Washington If he allows himself
to feel lonely. He has to make himself
feel he is part Of the people of the United
States. and then he cannot feel lonely
And my dream is this. that as the years
go on and the world knows more and
more of America. it also will bring out
this fountain of youth and renewal, that
it will also turn to America for those
moral inspirations that lie at the base
of human freedom, that 1t Will never
fear America unless 1t finds itself en-
gagged in some enterprise inconsistent
with the rights of humanity; that Amer
lea will come to that day when all shall
know she puts human rights above all
other rights. and that her flag Is the nag
not only Of America, but the flag OF hu-
manity.
What other great people. I ask. has
devoted itself to this exalted ideal? 10
what other nation in the world can you
look for instant sympathy that thrills the
whole body polite when men anywhere
are fighting for their rights!
II don't know that there ever will be
another Declaration of Independence. a
statement of grievances of mankind; but
believe if any such document is ever
drawn it will be drawn In the spirit OF
the American Declaration of Independ-
ence, and that America has lifted the
light that will shine unto all genera
tons and guide the feet of mankind to
| the goal Of justice. liberty and peace"
