terpreter. 1t seems that Kawpitch
put SIP in his Logging and put it
under his pillow Paul was heard to

money and later Paul disappeared

SIP on his person but that sum was
taken off from the roll in one bunch.

ence here at any time would APP
preciably stir the public spirit. But
just at this time the effect of their
coming will be to set the multitude
thinking about our navy as a means
of national defense. This is the
time to think and to think deeply
land sanely about that important
matter. The thought will inspire
study and consideration of the re-
cent testimony of experienced naval
officers as to the defects of the navy,
as to its lack of submarines and
aeroplanes and of newer types of
battleship cruisers. We have many
good ships, but for the defense of
this country against the onslaughts
of a first-class power we need many
more, and ships cannot be built over
night or in few weeks. In an hour
of great peril we have been adhering
to the ordinary program of naval
development. The situation demands
change. The people are now aware
of the gravity of the situation.
Nobody is thinking of war, but
nobody except fool can say at this
time that we shall never have an
other war. We need the means to
defend our coasts and our outlying
possessions from foreign invasion.
We need to maintain in the immed-
lite future a stronger regular army

orces in case of invasion. The

With Europe and Asia facing an
other year of warfare and no re-

immense crops in the United States

them
Given the immense crops OF grain,

with the already assured foreign and
domestic demand for them at high
prices, even if the war closed tomor-
row, it certainly seems that every
week now will stimulate business so
that by the months of August and

prosperity that the United States is
floating today.

Ebert Hubbard
Laughed at Lusi-
tania Warning

There were anxious, white faces
looking over the ratings of the big
Lusitania when she set sail from the
Cunard Line pier
These passengers knew all about
the warning advertisement publish
ed by the German embassy in Wash
ington, telling Americans not to sail
under the British flag or any of the
flags of the allied nations. They
knew also of mysterious strangers
who had appeared on the piers be-
fore sailing time and warned pas
sengers of their danger. Many Of
these men spoke with decided Ger
man accents, and while no one knew
from whom they had come, it was
accepted generally that they were
agents for the German government.
News that the Germans were
whispering frightening warnings to
the passengers reached Edward Null
len, chief of the steamship COM
pany's detective force. He rounded
up his men, and the STRANGERS were
driven from the pier and the vicinity
of the docks.
Good "Ad." for Hubbard
There We're many on board who
laughed at the German advertise
ment and the mysterious warnings
from the mysterious men. Among
the latter was Ebert Hubbard, who,
with Mrs. Hubbard was bound for
France. Referring to himself as
1.-The Lusitania of literature" he
said:
THE Kaiser's warnings may be
directed at both the Lusitania and
me. To be torpedoed would be
glorious way to peter out, but it
would be a good advertisement
Mr.. Hubbard then expresses the
opinion that possibly theKaiser was
peeved because he wrote "Who
Lifted the Lid Off Hell?"
AFTER the war is over | expect to
call on the Kaiser at st. Helena"
concluded Mr.. Hubbard. New York

Prosperity
Is Coming
miami Herald)


Notwithstanding the dislocations
of trade caused by the European war
in some branches of industry, bust
| ness throughout the United States
during the past four weeks has con-
tinued in it's improvement, says the
| Washington Post.
Bank clearances are greater; ton
nages offered the railways are larg-
er; the number of persons employ
ed in the manufacturing establish
ments increases with every day that
passes; the great coal strike in east
ern Ohio, which for thirteen months
kept thousands of miners without
employment, has been compromised,
and these thousands have resumed
work.
The states of Pennsylvania, West
Virginia, Maryland, Virginia, east
ern Kentucky and Ohio are all vital
ly interested in the production and
sale of coal, and the city of Washing
ton derives much of it's business
from the coal districts in the states
surrounding it.
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Nor
folk are the ports of export for the
states named, and they are admir-
ably equipped to care for the in
creased millions of tons of coal
which are soon to pass over the rail-
ways and through their harbors to
supply the foreign countries in
every continent.
There is a call for millions of tons
of coal from the states adjacent to
our Atlantic seaboard by reason of
the British embargo upon all coal
from Great Britain save that which
shall go to it's allies.
English coal, which formerly sold
at $14 per ton in Spain, is bringing
today $40 per ton, and the King of
Spain, with the approval of his cabi-
net has suspended the 40c import
duty formerly charged upon coal
from the United States, and it will
now be admitted free of duty.
Spain last year imported 100000
tons of coal. Italy needs coal. Hol-
land needs coal, and with more than
half the coal miners of Great Brit
ain gone to the army, Great Britain
cannot produce enough to supply
herself and her allies.
All Europe needs our coal save
Germany and Austria. South Amer
lea needs our coal, and under these
conditions the mining districts of
the states Immediately surrounding
Washingto should be, and will be,
making record outputs by maximum
numbers of persons employed at the
mines.
So the coal-carrying roads of these
states will be showing surprising
gains in tonnage.
