OLD SAILORS Wink

new clippers
IBy Latest Nail

BANGOR, Me.-Along in the middle
COS of the last century deep sea sail
Ors used to roll out chanty that went
like this:
There's saucy wild packet, a pack
ct of fame,
She belongs to New York. and the
Dreadnaught's her name.
She is bound to the eastward, where
stormy winds blow,
Bound away in the Dreadnaught to the
eastward We go.
Oh, the Dreadnaught's a-hOwling down
the Long Island shore,
Capt Samuels will drive her as he's
oft done before;
With every stitch drawing aloft and
allow
She's a Liverpool packet Lord God.
see her go!"
Those old sailors who can still re-
member that old chanty and the good
old days of the American clipper ships
smile at the occasional reports Of
record breaking" passages by sailing
ships of these days and wonder why
the people who make the big claims
don't study the history Of ocean sail
ing and find some facts that ought to
be well known among those who ham
die ship news. A notable instance of
mistaken claims of latter day speed
is the report published not long ago
to the effect that the clipper" ship
Erskine NJ. Phelps had made the run
from Seattle to Norfolk in the record
breaking time of 104 days.
In the first place, the Phelps is not
clipper. The clipper model vanished
from the seas long ago. She is fine
steel ship. very fast, but built. like all
modern ships, to carry as we'll as to
sail and a good carriers lines are
greatly different from those of a clip

The Modern "Record-Breaker."
AS for 104 days run from Seattle
being record, there are plenty of
better performances round the Horn
either way, allowing for the difference
in distance sailed From New York
to Frisco is about 1850 miles. from
Norfolk to Seattle perhaps 500 miles
further. The Erskin NJ Phelps, a
Bath built steel ship, is credited with
these records: ~@

MANY ACRES UNTqILED
 IN. CONNECTICUT
Cost of Living Might Be Reduced By Thing More Land.


 Washington, Jan. sInteresting figures on the land area and char acter of the land in Connecticut are given in a recent department of agri- culture bulletin. The state has B. .00O.000 acres, according to this state menE Fifty per cent, or half, of this is available potentially for titled crops or crops planted ana cultivated with the. use of the blow. Twenty-two per cent of the land area in Connecticut is potentially available for non-ti1led crops. and only s2s per cent of the land in the state is not suitable for agricultural purposes. ,..
 ct with all this land available for agriculture, only IT per cent. of the states area was in crops, according to the last census, while the percentage of estimated potentially tillab1e land which was in crops at last census re- ports was 35. In other words, there were 2s9 acres saof potentially tialabae land for each acre that was actually in crops. If all the available land were planted and cultivated it is es- tin1ated that the high cost of living might be reduced.

Militia Organization Scored

Gen. Mills Declares Some States Cannot Even Keep Government Rifles In
 Condition For Use


 Washington, Jan. 1s.-Condit itions in The L9iitia 1.-the country are on the whole far from satisfactory in organ ization, in strength and in training, according to Brigadier General IA l.. Mills. chief of the division of militia affairs of the war departm erit, in his annual report today The nnilitia's organization, in General Mills opir.- ion. is topheavy, incomplete and un-e balanced; it's strength is much below the important items necessary for field service and its tra1ndng is on the average far below the stantlaTd re- quired for efficiency in time of need. General Mills declares, however, that despite a. decrease in numerical strength ofs the militia. the past year was one of distinct Improvement The loss in the number has brought about increased efficiency and he believes the result will be an increase in strength both in organization and per sonnel
 General Mills believes that this i'm provement may be made more certain by enactment of a military pay law and he strictly urges federal and sta te cooperation. The time has arrived, he says, for the department. to foTTnu- late a scheme for theoretical instruc-

 General PIcquar1t was reganded as one of the most brdlldant officers of the French army and was Aleactan by birth He ~-ss am exceptionally with hds ability as a soldier, led te his appodntment to the general stan It was while serving there that Pic QIlart discovered f6rgerieS which hsaQ brought about the condemnation of Dreyfus to the horrors Of Devils Is- hand
 Picquart thereafter became one Of the most insfsterrt advocates of a re- vision of the judgment of Dreyfus and his zeal in tf4s matter led to his arrest and Imprisonment on vartous charges which were, however. diE- missed for want of evidence In spite of the court s decision in his davcf, however. he was retired from the sef+ svioes
 During his retirement. Picquact- aided by Emile zola and others con tinl1ed to work in behalf of the man who they were sure had been inno- gently condemned and finally succeed ed in having the case brought before another court martial at Renes where, however, the influences against DreE- fus were so great that he was agadR convicted
 Later Dreyfus obtained a full par don from President Loubet- This .'pardurl'' did not satisfy PicquaT't and the other supporters of Dreyfus Tyf4ose efforts ultimately resulted in a Veroiss of d acoudftaiI from the French supreme court and Dreyfus and Pdcduart were restored to the active list of the French army.

 Some states are severely criticised for failure to take proper care of gov eminent property1 In one state, of the total number of rifles on hand there were not enough serwfceable ones to equip the troops for target practice through sheer neglect. In another the number of rifles short would equip a regiment at peace strength.
 General Mills urged arrangement of the militia. upon a proportfonate basis of the various arms Any legislation should carry with it provision for 9 reserve to be given a limited amount of field training under pay The strength of the militia. at the end of the fiscal year was 9,130 officers and III, ,672 enlisted men, "a. net decrease of 12 officers and 1,03S enlisted men, com pared with the preceding year.
 For some unknown reason, the de- pa1itn1ent has failed to secure an in crease in the coast ar ti1lery militia and it is suggested that the law be amended to permit the secretary of war to alEot the militia funds among the several arms of service in pro- portion to the strength to which he considers they should be naairIta ained-
