THE MOST INTERESTING AMERICAN"

TT Is not difficult To guess who is meant
i by this phrase. which Julian Street uses
as the title OF a book just from the press
Of the Century Company.
The most interesting American is, Of
course, Theodore Roosevelt. His enemies
admit 1t. He is so interesting that they can
not curb their curiosity about what he will
do next. His friends do not try TO- The
whole country is wondering what course he
will pursue In the next six months. The
New York Tribune has already begun TO
speculate about whether he can ''come back"
as though he had ever gone away What
he does will have greater effect upon the
course OF politics next year than the actions
~ any other single American. He cannot
remain inactive, for he is not built that way,
While Roosevelt was still abroad, resting from
the labors of the Presidency. Elihu Root was
asked whether he thought the ex-President
would play the part Of a sage in retirement
after his return home, and the ex-secretary
of State replied:
The best answer to that question is that
he had not got out Of the wlds OF Africa
into Egypt before he was up to his ears in
world politics
Mr. Streets book first appeared in Golfers
in a series Of articles on presidential possi-
bilities. It's publication between covers is
the answer that men engaged in offering to
the nation TIE books in which they are in

ley lie Bas, the author of the great posters
and advertisements in connection with re-
cruiting-has gathered so many soldiers to
the Kings army.
Now for the why" of the appointment of
Great Scott" the inventor admiral whose
job is tackling the "zepps." 1.-THE father Of
modern naval gunnery," he is called. All
through his life gunnery has been his grand
passion. IL shouldn't be surprised to hear"
said knowing tar once that Percy Scott
takes n Al with him when he goes to bed!"
Why is Sir Percy Scott, the man who has
been chosen to defend London against Yep
pelins. styled "thc father of modern gun
nery"? Because he practically invented It,
the British claim. Almost every week OF
his life he has invented something
tional, and almost every invention has been
connected with ms. He once invented a
motto-but even that was gun motto. 1t
ran: Hit, hit quickly, and continue to hit"
Necessity is the mother of invention, and
Sir PcrCy's inventions have generally come
at time of most pressing need. In 1892 he
was on active service i'm Egypt as a gunnery
lieutenant. The British army, not for the
first for the last time, found itself short
of guns How to procure more? Nobody
could say But young Scott's eye lit on the
fort guns, and he decided that they must
he made transp0rtabe. An unheard-of thing
yet Scott made them transportable, and
the army, taking them along, played old
Harry with the foe!
Great Scott Thinking Fighter
Necessity called again at the beginning of
the Boer War once more the British were
short of artillery, and Sir George White tele-
graphed in despair to Scotts ship, the Ter
rible, to ask if the navy could let him have
some four -pont-sevens.
What can you dc ?' asked Admiral Harris.
"I can think" said Admiral Scott.
And Admiral Scott thought. He thought
for one night and during that night he in
vented a new gun-carriage Twenty-four
hours later two 4.7-inch guns and four 12-
Founders were on their way to Durham. EN-
perts say that but for this amazing promp-
titude, Ladysmith would inevitably have
fallen.
Sir Pcrcy's devotion to gunnery has always
produced startling results ana his ships have
always been noted for setting up gunnery
records The Admiralty could scarcely he
levc it's eyes when, some years back, il read
that Scott's ship, the Scylla, had registered
so per cent. of hits with her 4.7-inch guns.
for the Admiralty knew that the average in
the navy AT that time was only about 81 per
cent Next the Terrible, under Sir Percy,
scored l02 hits i'm l2S rounds off Shanghai
and, not content with this when he took
over the Barfleur Scott saw to it that the
Barflcur heat even that record in "A heavy
sea. Such is the man with whom the Yep
pelns now have 10 reckon. Small wonder
that he has been ncknamed "On-the-Spot
Percy" for he is always on the spot-dead
on.
