Cake Cine By the ForeIock

We read the evening papers long before it comes to noon
Next mornings papers go to bed
The Satuevening Pillar get three days too soon,
And the monthly magazines month ahead.
Our strawberries are served for breakfast fresh Christmas
Day.
And watermelons early in the spring
Springer in the winter the mother hen could lay
The egg TO hatch the tasty little thingl
We wear our straw New Years furs in hot July
Anticipating coming seasons style;
We make our 1918 vintage automobile fly
This summer half second to the mile
To do these things and other stunts like drunken sailor boys
We blow money fast-we simply burn it;
For fashion of the day make lot of noise
And spend salary long before it!

SUPERIOR FLEET OF ENEMY PROVES TOO
 MUCH FOR FLETCHER
tContipu@d from Page one,


 on the scene when the final test against the enemy came.
 The department tonight issued the fol- lowing statement summarizing reports on the maneuvers:
 The war problem which has just been placed off the Atlantic coast had for it's purpose the training of the officers of the fleet. The problem on the part of the Atlantic fleet was, in brief, to prevent a more powerful fleet than our own from establishing a base at some point be- tween Passport, Me, and Cape Hatteras, from which to invade the country. When Admiral Fletcher moved out from New York at noon of May IS with the Blue fleet he faced the difficult problem of meeting an enemy stronger than his own in every branch except submarines and especially superior In scouts. Admiral Fletchers plan of defense was excellent but was not successful owing to weather conditions and the marked superiority of the enemy in scouts
 The attacking Red fleet, under Rear Admiral Beatty, approached at a distance of several hundred miles by a line of fast scouts spaced at intervals and cov- erlng front of nearly 800 miles. behind thls line and ready to stiffen it at any point where necessary came a line of battle cruisers and armored cruisers.
 At noon of the 25th Admiral Beatty turned back with most of his heavy ships to meet and engage the Blue fleet, his transports in the meantime continuing south with a strong escort toward the mouth of Chesapeake bay. As the force With Which he thus threatened the Blue fleet was decidedly more powerful than that which Admiral Fletcher could bring against 1t and as the submarines of the defending force were not near enough to take part in the engagement, the umpire decided that Admiral Beatty's forces could, without difficulty, seize the Chesa- peake that the Red force had been suc- cessful in its object and that the strategicai maneuvers were at an end
