NEEDS $4,000 MEN
TO IMPROVE NAVY
Acting Secretary Roosevelt Says
That Number is Necessary
TO Properly Man Fighters.

Declaring that il would require an
cddltion OF 1900 men to put the United
-,tates Navy on a footing to compete
with the powerful fleets of Europe.
Acting Secretary of the Navy Franklin
-. Roosevelt points out that with the
present complement only a proportion
of the warshIps now owned by this
country can be properly manned.
Because of this shortage, the Acting
Secretary declares. the navy. while
nominally possessing ten battleships
81 the first line and twenty-three bat
JIeships Of the second line, actually
there are ready for service only ten
the second. On the other hand,
some of the vessels of the feet,
lhe Secretary declares, have on board
not more than 10 per cent of their
regular compliments of men, just
enough TO prevent them from rusting
20 pieces.
In regard TO the material of the
navy" says the statement, which is
Intended to be supplementary to that
issued recently by Secretary of the
Navy Daniels. that is to say, ships
and their equipment, matters on the
whole are inexcellent shape. In a few
particulars, however. such as the lack
Tor great improvement. Also in regard
10 the lack of certain auxiliaries and
the insufficient number of scouts, much
can he done to make the fleet better
balanced"
The statement of the Acting Secre-
tary falls in line with many Of the
specifications made by Congressman
Gardner, of Massachusetts. regarding
the unpreparedness of the American
navy for war.

RID STOMACH OF
GASES, SOURNESS,
AND INDIGESTION
"Pape's Diapepsin" ends all
stomach distress in
five minutes.

Yon don't want a slow remedy when
your stomach is bad-or an uncertain
one-or a harmful one-your stomach
is too valuable: you mustn't injure it
with drastic drugs.
Pape's Diapepsin is noted for it's
speed in giving relief; its harmless
ness; its certain unfailing action in
reg ulating sick, sour. gassy stomachs.
Its millions OF cures in Indigestion,
dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach
trouble has made it famous the world
over
Keep this perfect stomach doctor in
your home-keep it haudy-get a large
ffty-cent case from any drug store and
then if anyone should eat something
which doesn't agree with them: if
what they eat lays like lead, ferments
and sours and forms gcs; causes head
ache. dizziness and nausea; eruCta-
tons of acid and undigested food
remember as soon as Pape's Diapepsin
comes in contact with tho stomach all
such distress vanishes. It's promptness,
certainty and ease in overcoming the
worst stomach disorders is revelation
TO those who try it.-Advt

Who Shall BeGin?

Within the church there is a life
that either repels or draws those who
are outside the church. says the Sun
day School Times. If a church is oc-
cupied with controversy, and there is
a spirit of dissension among the mem.
bers, one who is outside is not drawn
b. this fact to seek fellowship with
that group. Many a church to which
no accession of membership has come
in a long while. may fairly ask itself
whether the life in that church is hos
pitable TO the convert. In one neigh
borhood where church dissension ana
rivalry had worked much harm, a
number of persons who desired to
unite with one or another of the
churches delayed so doing. and one OF
them said to a friend: we are only
just waiting for some one to begin"
No one seemed eager TO be the first

toward the mouth OF the bay, he saw
leaden-colored cruiser, with yellow
and red flag OF Spain swapping defiant
ly from her tack-staff, appear from be-
hind the hills, and then, as a panther
dashes from a cave In the mouth OF
which hunters have kindled fire. she
turned to the right and dashed into
the open sea.
1t seemed an age, but 1t was not
more than few seconds, when a ter
rifle roar shook the waters, and a
burst OF flame and gases rolled from a
turret of one of the American ships.
Holton marked the course OF the
great thirteen-inch shell, saw the
great, dark shape dart with lightning
speed toward the Vizcaya, saw it hur-
tie over the deck, ricochet on the wa
ter. and explode in the woods beyond.
Then the earth shook with fearful
noise
From all the American ships. and
from those of the Spaniards, great
guns vomited forth their messengers

tleu upon the sea-
AS Holton stood tense, following the
combat as in a trance, he heard tre'
mendous explosion, and saw the Ma
RE Theresa list sharply, and then saw
her turn In toward the land, where she
soon grounded. He could see men
clinging to her decks.
1t was clear that the American YES
sells were overhauling the enemy's
ships, although Holton had under
stood that, as regards speed, our yes
sells were inferior. The discharge OF
guns was incessant. Almost directly
beneath him he saw two Spanish de-
stroyers disengage themselves from
the larger vessels and swing about,
evidently with the intention of return
ing to the harbor; but, like a hawk. a
