NAvY's LAST WOODEN SHIP
Relic Of the Old Type Of War Vessel
Passes to New Jerseys
Naval Militia.

The Adams, the last OF the old
wooden ships OF the United States
navy. which from 1905 until last fall
was the training ship OF the Pennsyl-
vania State Nautical school, has been
turned over to the New Jersey naval
militia for their cruise of the Maine
coast. We read In the Philadelphia
Ledger.

She was built In 1874 Until June.
1883. when she went to Samoa, she
had an uneventful existence. During
the controversy with Germany she
was the sole defender OF the Ameri-

was sent TO the Pacific coast, and In
1894 went ashore In Bering strait.
She was floated, repaired and brought
back to the United States. She then

LAUGHTER WILL COME BACK
World Is Not Always to stasser IN
der the Overwhelming Desc
lation Of the War.

Some people wonder why theaters
are running during the awful world
tragedy which is being enacted I'm Eu-
rope. The reason why they ought to
run is we'll stated by John Palmer in
the Saturday Review:
Let the theater still exist To re-
mind us that the war will pass; that
laughter will come back to the world:
that art will one day be restored:
that we shall not always stand ut the
edge OF ruin: that il is not nee
essary to dwell forever with grave
faces. self-consciously in the shadow
OF distress. Thereby We shall help to
keep our country in sane mind and
good heart in these coming days and
destroy in its cradle the infant as.
sumption OF our entertainers that one
theme alone is able ut this time TO
possess us.
This war will never. so long as IL
lasts, be in a less degree the com
handing fact of our lives. But we
need not. therefore. act like stunned
creatures and play continually with
one fixed idea. We have to keep our
sense OF proportion. We must hold on
to our humor and keep ii bright: and
the theater is going to continue. must
help us in this"
