changed a whole lot Seems
awful dinky and slow, and all
the things | used to think

lie met some of the boys he
used to know and told them
about New York. There was
one young man in particular,
who, after Bill had walked on,
followed along and asked Bill
what he thought of his going
TO New York too; and did Bill
think he could make good
there.
Like all questions, it was
very hard to answer, as it all
rests with Young men them
selves They might try it aud
be utter failures and cultivate
surroundings they would re-
grct in after years, or they
might be successful right from
the start 1t all rests with the
boy himself, and there are no

Therefore, when the Imperial

right TO be preached to and con-

wonder and to throw up its
hands in utter amazement.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Lessons
drawn from the European war were
discussed before the House Military
and Naval Committees by Brig. Gen.
Crozier, chief of ordnance of the
army, and Rear Admiral Badger, of
the navy's general staff. Gen. Gro
zier said the United States never
would have use for guns similar to
the great howizers with which the
Germans demolished Belgium's
forts, and asserted that the Ameri-
can field guns were as good as any
in the world. Admiral Badger told
the Naval Committee that, ship for
ship. the United States navy Is equal
to, If not better than, that or Ger
many or any other nation"
While these committees were at
work. the majority members of the
Rules Committee were deciding not
to grant the request of Representa-
tive Gardner, of Massachusetts. for
q hearing on his resolution to direct
a special inquiry into the prepared
ness of the United States for war.
Chairman Henry later addressed a
letter to Representative Gardner. ad-,
vising him that his proper forum for
hearing would be before the regu-
Iarly constituted committees of the
House. which are now in daily ses-
sion. considering matters pertaining
to the military and naval strength
of the country"
Notwithstanding the committees
attitude, Mr.. Gardner reiterated his
determination to keep up the fight
for special investigation. During
the day Senator Lodge indicated
that he would call up in the Senate

one introduced the House by Rep
resentative Gardner.
