After a whlrl at the show business he
returned TO New Bedford and devoted
his attention TO his hotel. The local bal
club was not paying expenses. Most OF
the players lived at Banny's hotel and
the bills for lodging and eats piled UT
rapidly. Bancroft took stock in the club
to pay the accounts and that Is how he
got started In base ball.

/ 10 Judge by the talk of the jim
goes, one would imagine that the

thing to prepare the country to re-
sist foreign invader. Here are
/ the facts:
During the first two years of the
present administration we voted
twice as much for new ships as was
voted for the same purpose during
the last two years of Taft's admin
istration and more than was appro-
priated during the entire four years
of MIR. RoOsevelt's term.
Certainly. this record ought to
arouse the people of this country
ana cause them to ask, not how
much more shall be poured out, but
when will it end?
Are we to have The first nation to
be showed into bankruptcy by the
burdens of militarism? Is it not
enough that we should, in the ten
years preceding the European war,
have expended on our navy $780,
100000 more than did any other ma
ton, except Great Britain?"
The Jingoes' Lobby.
Those who share Mr.. Kitchens
views do not hesitate to charge that
certain selfish interests are financ-
ing the campaign in favor of vast ex-
penditures for so-called national
preparedness" I do not think there
can be any question about the truth
of these assertions. From some
source vast sums of money are flow
ing into the Golfers of the various
defense societies. In the last is
sue of the CoInmoner, Bryan and
Congressman Warren Worth Bailey
demanded Congressional investiga-
ton of these organizations and of
the "insidious lobby which they
have brought to Washington. Con-
gresham Clyde Tavenner, the bril-
liant young representative from
Illinois, promptly announced his in
tentions to introduce resolution
calling for such an inquiry and sug-
gested that ]. Pierpont Morgan, Jr.,
should be the first witness.
Morgan and his members of his
Wall Street firm are conspicuous in
the directorates of these patriotic"
societies. At the same time they
are known to be reaping a golden
harvest from the sale of munitions
of war.
Tavenner is convinced that there
is worldwide trust in munitions of
war and that the men who control
it are largely responsible for the
cataclysm which has overwhelmed
Europe. They are now repeating in
this country, he declares, the prop
aganda which has proven so success
full across the water.
Congress should turn on the light
and permit the people to have the
truth.

JAPANESE PRIMA DONNA

Tamiki Miura has come to her position
IN opera through a course OF musical
training that has been rigorous and
wholly along the lines Of the traditional
development of the European, prima
donna. She began her training in her
own home Toxic. but when she went to
Singapore, after her marriage three
years ago, she found the opposition Of her
husbands family sufficient to compel the
temporary abandonment of the stage.
Only when 1t was lifted did she go to
Berlin. to finish her preparation for the
large field she was later to occupy.
From Berlin to London went this jap

singing with Patti at the London Opera
House, where the great diva publicly
kissed her after the performance. Her
American recognition has been such as
to cause all who are interested In per-
sonalities to want to see as we'll as to
hear her, for she Is claimed to be the
