How Psekinpaueh Stayed With Majors.
Roger P~eckinpaugh is n Yankee
who owes a debt OF gratitude TO Frank
Chance. The Cleveland club had just
about decided that Peckinpaugh would
not do for them and was preparing TO
send him to the minor leagues in 1913.
when Chance came along and offered
Lelivelt and Stump in exchange for
him. Joe Birmingham accepted the
offer with avidity.
II Peckinpaugh had gone back TO the
minors IL is doubtful II he would have
been able to get back TO the major
league again, for q nan must win his
way upward with bat rather than with
glove. Peckinpaugh Is a brilliant field
er, but a light hitter In any company.
The fielding averages show him just
behind Mcbride, and his task was a
hard one on account OF the weakness
OF Fritz Maisel, who covered little
ground to his left. Peckinpaugh's bat
ting average was only .223, but this
does not show his usefulness, for he
drove in more runs than any man on
his team and stood fourteenth in the
American league in this respect. The
club got Its moneys worth out OF
Peckinpaugh last season, for he played
In l57 games and did not miss an in

Golden Text-A friend loveth at all
times prov. xvii, 10.
The Lesson Explained. Verses 1924.
"A fine defender.
1t was customary for the members of
the several Hebrew clans to hold fam
lily gatherings in connection with the
feast Of the new moon. David used
this as a pretext to stay away and not
report himself to the king, as he was
accustomed to do, being his armor
bearer. If perchance the king should
inquire after him, Jonathan should
give the alleged reason, and the way
the excuse was received would indicate
what his feelings were toward David.
Saul did ask for David and naturally
turned to Jonathan, whose friendship
for him was well known and who was
therefore likely to be informed of the
affairs of 'the son Of Jesse" verse 20.
The king became indignant when he
heard that David had gone away. At
once he proceeded to insult his W
son and charged him with being In
league with David, to Jonathan's own
hurt and confusion. Saul then COM
manded that David be sen for, that he
might kill him. Wherefore shall he
be slain?" Jonathan was equal to the
occasion and appealed to the better
judgment Of his father, reminding him
Of David's excellent services. He had
acted in this conciliatory fashion once
before and at that time was success
full In turning Saul away from his
reckless course Il Sam. xix, O.. But
there was no hope of doing anything
now. Instead of listening t. Jonathan.
Saul was so incensed that he "cast a
javelin at him." He threatened to take
the life Of his own son because he
professed friendship for David. So
Jonathan knew that peace was out of
the question. because his father was
determined to destroy David on the
first opportunity. He then "rose from
the table in fierce anger on account
Of the ~inexcusably insulting treatment
which he received from his father. who
not only was unjust to David, but also
publicly had done him shame" In i'm
putting motives Of treason. OF which Re
was not guilty. A suspicious person
always imagines all sorts Of evil and
lives In misery on account Of It.
Verses 3o40.-A clear sign.
1t was at the risk Of his own life
that Jonathan stood up for the good
character of his friend and tried TO
free him from all blame. When he
failed In his praiseworthy efforts he at
once arranged to inform David so that
he might be on the lookout. 1t was to
be expected that Saul would track the
movements Of Jonathan in the hope

How a Zeppelin 10 Made.

The building Of a Zeppelin Is not the
work of a day. The mere work on the
vessel takes an entire year, and when
that work is done another three months
must be spent in testing. Stretched
on a framework of girders there are
from seventeen to twenty-five balloon
cites from end to end. Over these and
over the Orders is an outer skin of
proofed canvas. Slung under the great
length Is a series of cabins.
Right In front Is the station of the
lookout a who is In charge of the
starting and the landing. He has ar
chors slung beneath him. In the first
boat. which is entirely covered in. are
two petrol engines. Behind this boat
is the gangway. fitted up with sleeping
berths for the crew. In the center is
the observation station. 1t is from
here that the bombs are dropped. and
it is In here that the marvellous steer
ing and sighting apparatus is installed.

board only from 8 per cent TO 80 per cent
of the crews necessary to man them In
case of war.
There are also six second line battle
ships, one armored cruiser, one second
class cruiser and fourteen torpedo boats
which are In the condition technically
called Sin ordinary" These vessels are
ann by from 10 to 20 per cent of the
regular complements-just enough to pre-
vent them from rusting to pieces.
Further, there are three second line bat
tleships, three second class cruisers, one
third class cruiser. n destroyer. two
monitors, four torpedo boats, six gun
boats, one transport. one supply ship, one
fuel ship. one repair ship n eleven con-
verted yachts which are out of commits
sion altogether.
These vessels are in nearly every case
hopelessly out of date. They are to all
intents and purposes unserviceable for
war purposes. Several Of these gunboats,
torpedo boats and converted yachts, are In
the absence Of suitable vessels, being used
by the naval militias Of the various states.
Need 1900 More Men.
To provide a proper complement for all
vessels of the navy which could still be
made useful for war purposes would re-
quire an addition to the present force
allowed by congress OF about 1900 men.
Meanwhile the problem is becoming more
difficult as time goes on because of the
vessels under construction which must
shortly be provided with crews.
In regard to ships and their equipment.
including guns, engines, range finders,
etc, matters are. on the whole. In excel
lent shape. As units the vessels in COM
mission are well built. well designed and
well cared for, and compare in all types
~favorably with the vessels Of other DOW
ers. In fact. I believe that they are
better.
In a few particulars, sue as the lack
of sufficient torpedoes. there is room for
great improvement; also In regard to the
lack Of certain auxiliaries and the INSULT
cient number of scouts much can be done
to make the fleet better balanced.
But the navy has felt that while II
greatly desires a well rounded fleet In the
material sense 1t would be the greatest
possible mistake to secure such a fleet at
the expense of the main seagoing fighting
c~raft-that is to say. our battleships and
d~estroyers. This is because makeshift
auxiliaries a be improvised In an emer-
gency. whereas battleships must be plan
ned and commenced at least three years
beforehand.

Fleet Maneuvers In May viii Find
Weak Points In New York's
Armor-Senator TiIIman Says
Foreign Fleet Would Soon Level
the Great City-The Enemy's
Probable Course-Strength Of
the Navy.

1HAT would happen II a IOr-
wv eign feet Of invasion were
to attack America? From
May 8 to II we are to learn
how we would go about protecting u
selves II al enemy feet chose New
York city as its objective.
During that period a large feet Of
N warships is to go through a series
Of maneuvers in and about New York
for the purpose Of finding its weak
points.
Three admirals, recently raised to
this, the highest rank In our navy, will
be In charge of the maneuvers If the
original plans are followed. Admiral
Fletcher viii be in full charge, while
Admirals Howard and Cowles Will be
In command Of divisions.
Many are Of the opinion that New
York could not long Withstand the fire
Of a hostile feet.
Tiilman Tells Of Our Weakness.
Senator Tillman Of South Carolina,
chairman Of the senate naval affairs
committee, is Of the belief that a feet
Of English or German ~battleships max
ing an attack on New York, could de-
stroy several billion dollars worth of
s~kyscrapers in a half hours lombard
ment and steam away again with but
little damage, SO far as the defenses
are concerned.
"Every now and then We have a war
game, In which a feet attacks the forts
defending some particular town; both
IRE enormous quantities Of blank car
tr1dges and Shells" he continued, "and
then the umpires speak their little
piece, always somewhat to this effect:
The attack made by the fleet reflects
great credit on the officers command
ing it and shows the vessels to be
most efficient Of their class However,
It was clearly shown that the feet
could have got past the forts and de-
stroyed the town.
"In the first place, and in reply to
any startled question about Sandy
Hook, and the big sixteen inch gun
there, let me say II l were command

/ would not bother with Sandy Hook

Soldiers Would Be Landed.
Another expert, discussing the prob
able outcome Of a foreign invasion of
America. figures that the hostile pow
ers would first embark their troops
upon transports. Say they could put
100000 men on shipboard. This esti-
mate is a normal one. as some nations
could put half a million on the water.
'sThe feet of transports would sail
and be reasonably certain OF reaching
our shores inside Of ten days. There
would be no possible manner in which
we could determine where they intend
ed landing. Therefore we could not put
our troops in n certain place and
wait for the landing at that place.

raise even 100000 men In six months.
That Is, trained and equipped men.
The question then rests upon our navy.
Assuming 1t is equal In size to the
ships escorting these transports, what
course could it pursue?
There are two ways open-to sail en-
masse and trust to luck to fall in with
the escorting squadron or to spread out
along our 1900 mile coast line, have
u two solitary scout cruisers en-
deavor to locate the hostile feet, and
then converge.
I'm either case our ships would get
the worst Of It, for they have not, ac-
cording to reliable reports, enough
powder to fight with for any length OF
time. Therefore we will assume that
the opposing feet has either defeated
our feet or broken through its lines
and begun to land troops on Long Is
land, near Long Beach.
Effort to Hold Our Forts.
"As soon as we learned of their ap-
proach all the troops we could get to-
gether would be rushed to New York
as a base. The effort would be made
to hold our forts-Fort Hamilton,
Sandy Hook, Fort Wadsworth, Fort
TOtten, etc.
''These forts are built to repulse a
foe upon water, not land. 1t is neces-
sary therefore, that their rear be pro-
tected by troops. Our men would then
begin to dig trenches and lay mine
fields in the rear of the forts and on
the approaches to them.
1T Is one thing to charge an enemy
in the face of rifle fire and another to
run over the ground that you expect to
rise up under your feet any instant
The mines and actual trench fighting
could be counted upon to hold the en-
envy back for a short time, say a week,
Then because Of their superior forces
they would undoubtedly be able to take
all our forts.
Having taken the forts, the advance
could be made into the harbOr by Their
ships as soon as the submarine mines
were out Of the way. Then they would
have at their mercy the richest city In
the world. Their first troops would
have more or less difficulty in actually
reaching the city.
