I HOW GREAT BRITAIN BECAME
MISTRESS OF THE SEAS"

proud Title OF Great Britain since IudI
October day in 1905 when Lord Mel
son gave his life at Trafalgar to es-
tablish her supremacy
No nation has dared to seriously
question her right to that title, al
though American frigates did compel
her to cease her practice of stopping
American ships to impress refugees
from her own land three-fourths of
century ago.
But in the pride of her title and
the size of her ships she has been able
to maintain her title without fighting
until the present war. That her great
fleet must now be put to the test
seems certain.
The greatness of the English navy
dates from the battle of Trafalgar,
which takes it's name from the Span
ish cape off which it was fought.
England was at war with Spain and
France. The allies gathered 33 ships
and frigates to oppose the 81 ships
and frigates which flew the British
colors.
Compared to the great fleet of steel
and armor plate which today repre-
sents that flag, the array would be
no more imposing than bevy of
fishing schooners.
1t was two years after the battle
when Robert Fulton took his first
model for a steamship to Liverpool
and forty more before steam naviga-
ton become general.
At Trafalgar the battleships de-
pended on their broad sails and the
kindness of friendly winds. The COM
mander must be navigator as well as
fighter. The contest was fierce and
costly. The allies lost 10 of their
ships before surrendering and gave
over the French admiral, Villeneuve,
as a prisoner. Nelson himself was
killed.
With the victorious fleet as a start
and by keeping abreast of progress

Germany maintains the
biggest. best and most effective
publicity bureau in the world.
This bureau is under the i'm
mediate supervision of the
Emperor william.
The object OF a publicity bu-
reau is to publicize, or make pub
lie
II must always be remembered,
however, that the manager of
publicity bureau is interested in
leading the public to arrive at
certain conclusions.
That is, all publicity bureaus
have certain alleged truths that
they desire to fix and fasten IN
the public consciousness.
Governments exist through and
by being backed by public opin-
ION.
The Germans have a word that
means the consensus of will and
belief OF the many. This is the
word zettgeist-
Kaiser Wilhelm recently said
before a Farmers Alliance: My
business is not sto rule; It is to

The discipline of the German
army makes for manhood" says
the Emperor. And then he adds:
Our business is not to destroy

And the first thing in the mind
of the Emperor is to have some
thing worth protecting.
Germany is producing two
;hings-meu and wealth. And
wealth is only produced by labor
and intelligent organization.
An economist must know math-
ematics. He must know costs.
And Germany is not only the
home OF education. but 1t is the
birthplace OF modern music and

Education is organization of

Music is organization Of sounds.
Mathematics is organization of
numbers.
Business Is organization of the
factors that produce wealth.

These ringing words of wisdom
were given out to the German
public through the official pub
licity bureau, and, let us hope,
passed into the sum of conscious
thought that makes up the Zeit-

= CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES
Thousands OF Employees Laid on,
With More To Follow; e2
Trains Discontinued

Philadelphia, March 30 Higher
wages. higher taxes and recently en-
acted legislation are given by Samuel
Rea, president Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company as the principal
causes of decreases in net operating
revenue necessitating the retrench-
ment policy announced last week. In
statement tonight Mr.. Rea said:
The decision to reduce train SER
vice and working forces Of the Penn
sylyania system, while apparently sud
den, should not be considered surpris-
ing as the published monthlystate-
ments of the system have shown the
large decreases in net operating in
come the system has sustained.
Higher wages, extra crew and other
laws, caused these decreases, which
are not peculiar to the Pennsylvania
railroad. These causes still exist,
and in addition the gross reveiues OF
the system have been steadily de-
creasing since last October. ny e's
While many other railroad systems
began to- reduce forces in the middle
Of 1918, the Pennsylvania system con-
tlnued its usual train services and
working force as long as possible.
In view OF the fact, however, that
in the four months ended February
2s, 1914, compared with the same per.
iod of the previous year, operating
revenues decreased $S.s16.991 and net
operating income decreased $6,652,671
the company is compelled to reduce
operating expenses.
The falling off in earnings and
traffic demands lower operating ex'
penses and the only way to bring this
about Is TO reduce train service and
the numbers of employees.
In carrying out the retrenchment
policy thousands OF men have al
ready been suspended and many
trains discontinued, 1t is planned to
increase the number of suspended
employees to $4,000 and by April /,
the company announces, at least
slxty.two trains, curtailing the SER
vice over practically the entire sys.

SON FORCED TO GIVE
UP FATHERS CABIN
William Rockefeller Finally Secures
Much Coveted Patch OF
Ground

Malone, N. j., March 30.-Word
was received today that the Rockefel-
ler Lamora feud was ended last week
fby the action OF William Lamora in
selling the cabin and grounds left
him by his father, hunter and trap
per, who refused to sell his property
to make up portion Of William Rock
efeller's vast Adirondack game pre-
serve.
1t was in 1892 that William Rookie
Teller set out to acquire the game
preserve. He bought $4,000 acres
around the town of Brandon but
could not procure Oliver Lamora's ca
bin and clearing which stood in the
way. Out of this arose a legal bat
tie between the oil dealers agents
and the old trapper.
1t was expensive work for Lamora
but the old trapper's friends and
neighbors sympathized with him and
came to his aid financially. Twice
Lamora defeated the Rockefeller
agents in the courts by showing that
the fish in the Rockefeller streams
were supplied by the state hatchery
and that the state law forblds the
setting aside Of such waters as part
of any private estate.
On the third occasion when the
agents got Lamora into court 1t was
a civil suit for damages. 1t went thru
several courts, finally reaching the
court OF appeals which found in Rock
efeller's favor.
The damages awarded were only
IS cents, but $500 in costs was as
sessed against the old trapper. This
was a staggering blow and the loss
of the cabin was threatened for a
time. Lamora's friends, however,
proved loyal and dubbed together to
raise the sum.
For tho rornair dor of Iha old mans
life the Rockefeller agents recogniz-
ed as useless any attempt to get him
to sell. After he died his son as.
sumed the same attitude as his IA
Their for a time, but finally he was
induced to sell.

GLUTEN FEED TO DAIRY cows
Good supplementary Food May Be
Probably Given In Place Of Bean
Meal--Other Good Feeds.

Gluten feed forms a good supple
mentary food for dairy cows and may
be profltably fed to take the place of
bean meal in forming the concentrat-
ed part Of the ration.
Cows eat gluten feed regularly and
1t may be safely given up to seven
pounds day. though smaller quaint
ties fed as part of a mixture will prob
ably give the better result.
Bean meal and crushed oats have
fully maintained their past reputation
OF being an excellent food for dairy
cows. but the mixture is more ex-
pensive than an equal weight of
gluten feed.
Sugar beet is an excellent food for

Since Horace Havemeyer retired
from the board of directors, none of
the Havemeyer family has had any
interest in the corporation so far as
the witness knew, he said. He did not
recall that he had ever heard at any
meeting of the directors any discus
sion as to the management Of beet
sugar companies in regard to prices,
output and distribution.
Mr.. Allen was the first witness
called by the defense upon the re-
sumption of hearings in this city.
For two months taking of testimony
