tests. The power to drive in the runs
was lacking, however, and eight of
the visitors were left stranded on the
paths. Boston won again by the score
|of 2 to L.
But Gevvy Cravath sent Lewis
back to the left field fence again
Tuesday for drive that on the Phil
adelphia grounds would have been "a
hit into the stand and good for the
circuit.
Differing widely from the two
blood tingling games of Saturday and
Monday, Tuesdays game was decid-
edly commonplace.
.Phillies Make Threat.
The Phillies made threat in their
half of the eighth because iris Speak

There were two out at the time and
the fans We're not inclined to take
the situation seriously until Luderus
who seemed to have found his bat
ting eye at last, slammed out his
first single of the day and sent Cra-
vath scampering over the plate. Dug
ley went in to run for Luderus and
lftfther complicated the situation by
stealing second. Whitted, with a
single, might have tied the score, but
his fast liner went directly at the
Boston pitcher, who grimly knocked
| it down and threw the Philly left
fielder out at first.
Boston is Lucky.
Boston was lucky to score it's first
run Tuesday. Barry walked to begin

bunt that ordinarily would have been
an easy out, but Chalmers in the box

PLAN TO DOUBLE

Upon By Naval
Authorities.

Be Recommended.

and battle cruiser types with pro

enough to make new American fleet
is contemplated by Secretary Dan
iels for recommendation as a five
year building program for the Unit
ed States navy.
President Wilson and Secretary
Daniels have DISCUSSED Informally
the needs of the navy and are agreed
that in order to be adequately pre-
pared for defense the present
strength of the fleet must be almost
doubled in the next five years, with
the addition of many of the latest
types of fast and powerful fighting
craft.
Details as to numbers have not yet
been finally worked out, but the idea
of fixing a ratio or continuing pro-
gram over a period of five years, is
the basic principle upon which the
general board of the navy and Sec
retary Daniels now ere planning their
recommendations Another confer
ence between the president and the
secretary will be held Friday, at
which the total number probably will
be fixed.
Will Make Great Fleet.
The five-year naval program, when
completed, would add in addition to
dreadnaughts and battle cruisers,
nearly 100 submarines, about 10
destroyers, several scout cruisers and
a proportionate number of fuel and
hospital ships,
An important part of the program
too, will be a proposal for large
increase over last year. Just what con
tions for at least 5000 additional
men will be asked for the first year
to make up present deficiencies and
an adequate number will be sought
to man the new ships in the five-year
period.
LII total cost of the proposed pro-
gram for the first year, according to
present plans, is estimated at nearly
$24S, 100000, or about 100000
increaseover last year Just what con-
struction should be provided for the
first year has not been determined.
AS to the approximate number of
ships the fleet should have at the end
of five years, however, officers of the
general board and Secretary Daniels
are understood to have decided.

capture of Belgrade and Semendria

The situation is admitted to be
serious, not only for Serbia but for
the whole Allied cause. 1t is assert
ed that the Serbians are inflicting
losses both on the Bulgarian and

Lewis Hero of Day.

Lewis Hero of Day.
The second and eventually the
winning run came over in the sixth,
when Hoblitzel singled and raced
home on Duffy Lewis screeching
double to the left field fence. Lewis
had driven in the winning run Mon
day and he was easily the hero of
the crowd Tuesdayx, Fis defensive
work in the field Tuesday afternoon
was little short of wonderful. He was
credited with six put outs and each
chance that came his way was dit
ficult one. Up against the fence one
moment, he was dashing toward the
infield at another to snatch a ball
from his shoetops.
Geo Chalmers, the third Philly
pitcher to fall before the hefty hick-
ory sticks of the American league

MOUNT VERNON, THE HOME OF WASH
INGTON

From the Washington Herald. April IL
BY j.. e. Jones, with thirty-three illustra-
tions. U. 5. Press Association, Washington,
Z. c.. 800 net.
The beauties of Mount Vernon, and a
short account of its interesting history are
written about in an exceptionally delightful
way in the above-named book of fifty pages.
The author shows himself TO be thoroughly
acquainted with the subject, and in an easy
manner takes one from Washington to
Mount Vernon. there to depict in detail the
well-marked points Of the greatest object OF
interest. Although the book is written from
a literary standpoint, as is evidenced by a
concise and graceful style, 1t would we'll act
as a guide for the pilgrim visiting Mount
Vernon for the first time, and especially so
for the visitor who has a deep regard for
greatest shrine.
Each visitor will be the better and wiser
for the reading of this volume. and in laying
1t aside will surely be impressed with great
feelings Of reverence for the founder of this
republic. The volume is not only valuable
" 'o idNNOi anu az u
thoroughly good guide, but also as an ex-
ample OF fine book-making. The execution
is perfect; the printers art never better
shown, and the Illustrations are such as to
ommand the admiration of all. It con-
tains exceptionally well executed half tones
of the Mount Vernon Home, the Potomac,
the grounds, as also of George and Martha
Washington. In the description of the parts
of the house. the out-buildings, and the var
ious utensils, the manner of living at Mount
Vernon 100 years ago is plainly painted, and
the difficulties clearly set forth by COMPARE
son with the unbounded resources of our
own time.
The story of Washington never can be
told too often. His spirit should ever per-
meate the people of the land. The great
work he did, stands as an example for all
time, and his devotion to his country, his
self-sacriicing, his long enduring toll, and
above all his exalted patriotism, will ever
make him the eXemplar OF the nation. He
is truthfully portrayed by the author of
this little book. 1t is a book all should
read.

THE SUBMARINE POLICY MEAS
URED BY RESULTS

A policy so dangerous and ruthless
in it's methods could only be justified
by successful results-which would
not be measured in the number of
ships sunk, but rather in the complete
stoppage, or very large shrinkage, of
British commerce. 1t had indeed been
expected that German submarines
would do everything in their power
to strike at ships transporting troops
and munitions of war across the Chan
mel to France. This at least would
have been real warfare. AS it hap
pens, the British navy has been able
to protect this movement Of men and
supplies. The attack on merchant
ships could be justified from a mill
tary standpoint only as it should re-
suit in the tying-up of British mer-
chant vessels in their safe harbors,
and the prevention CT neutral vessels
from sailing into the designated war
n The policy as prosecuted thus
far has involved a maximum of illegal
annoyance to neutral shipping. and a
further maximum Of violation Of hu-
name principles. with an almost i'm
perceptible minimum of war results to
be urged in defense Of the method.
Germany should have enough sound
practical ems to completely give up
q policy that has not achieved any
thing at all in terms Of warfare. while
It has endangered relations with neu-
tral countries. Remember chat these
structures bear no relation to the use

Please tell me how 20 prevent water
leaking out of the grease cups at either
side Of the water pump?
You are using too light a grease in
these grease cups, with the result that
when the motor gets warm the grease
becomes very fluid ANA allows the wa.
ter to leak. In hot weather you should
use a heavy grease. Probably the hard
est that you can buy Will be the most
satisfactory. However, as oon as cold
weather sets IN substitute a lighter
grease.
