Walking is one of the best of exer-
cises, beautiful and enjoyable. There
comes an exhilaration of spirit, feel
inr of independence, as one swings off
TO a walk in a park or on country
road. Even in earliest spring, when
the grass is richest in color of youth,
and foliage and blossom have not yet
burst out to their fullness, their ia Joy
in a walk as long and as far as your
feet are able to carry you or you can
spare the time. Walking renews spir-
it and strength and means that more
and better work will be done in a given
TIM. The sunshine, the pure air, the
fresh scenes and the growth and
changes Of nature strengthen body and
soul.

GERMAN AEROPLANES
ATTACK BRITISH SHIP

LONDON. November Germany APP
pears to be trying a new method Of at
tack on British merchantmen-with aero
planes. The Cork steamer Avoset, which
has arrived at Manchester, tells story,
according to the Liverpool Journal of
Commerce. of a irty-five-minute engage
ment with three hostile aeroplanes at II
o'clock the morning .of October 80. One
of the aeroplanes was a large battle plane,
WHICH dropped thirty-six bombs, some of
which missed the steamer by not more
than seven feet.
When the bombs were exhausted the
battleplane fired on the Avoset with a
machine gun. The ships sides and decks
were struck by bullets, but all the crew
escaped injury
AT height of from 500 to 1000 feet
all the aeroplanes dropped bombs and at
tackled the steamer with rifles. The
Avocets escape was due to zig-zag
maneuvering and the fact that the aero
planes dared not fly lower.

TO PEACE,
ASSERTS BRYAN Of
PLAN FOR DEFENSE

ton, if our relations with all nations
are friendly, if everybody knows that
were able to defend ourselves if neces-
sary, and if there is no fear among
US, why is this time chosen to revolu-
tionize our national theories and to ex-
change our policy for the policy Of
Europe?
why abandon the hope that we
have SO long entertained of setting an
example to Europe? Why encourage
folly by initiating them? Why impose
upon the western hemisphere a policy
SO disastrous? May we not expect all
Latin America to be stimulated to
era of preparation? And will not such
policy make conflicts between these
republics more probable? We shall do
infinite harm to the neighboring ma
lions as well as to ourselves if we
are drawn into this policy which pro-
vokes war by a preparation which is
impossible without a large increase in
taxation and the arousing of mill
tary system which sets up false stand
ards of honor.
1--WE are now spending more than
s250,000,000 a year on preparedness
ten times as much as we are spending
on agriculture-and l feel sure that
the taxpayers are not in favor of in
creasing this sum at this time when
change is not only unnecessary. but
menace to our national ideals.
Duty Demands Self-Restraint.
There has not been time in fifty
years when there was less reason to
add to the expenses of the army and
navy, for we are not only without an
enemy, but our preparedness is in
creasing relatively as other nations
exhaust themselves. And there never
was a time and there never has been
a time in our whole history when our
duty to the world more imperatively
demanded self-restraint and the coun-
sells of peace.
Il hope the President will not be de-
ceived by the atmosphere of the Man
haitian Club. That is the one place in
the United States where the mammon-
worshiping portion of the democratic
party meets to exchange compliments
there is no group further removed from
the sentiment of the masses, whether
you measure that sentiment by eco
nomical, social or religious standards"

CALLST D|SGRACEFUL
WAY MAJORITY VOTES
Miss Margaret Wilson Addresses
Wisconsin School Teachers-Chance
to Prove Ideal Democracy.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, November g.
Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter of
President Wilson, told the Wisconsin
state teachers convention here today
that the majority of voters cast their
ballots with "as little forethought as
they give to buying suit" and pro-
posed as a remedy the use of school
buildings as meeting places for citizens
and as voting booths, and the employ
ment of school principals as election
clerks She said the people should be
organized according to the voting pre-
cincts, with the school buildings as
their centers.
Let us make the vote mean some
thing-all of us, men and women to-
gether" said Miss Wilson. 1T is dis
graceful the way the majority of voters
vote. l am told that when a man gets
suit he gets what the tailor tells
him to wear. That is what most voters
do in the primaries. They vote for the
man who they say is the man-they'
being in this case the political bosses.
We know this, but have done little so
far except talk about It."
Chance for America, She Says.
ica's opportunity before all nations to
more than a dream, that it is prin-
ciple that works" She added that self
government lis nothing more or less
| than a process of education"
| Miss Wilson said that her proposals
to use school principals as election
| clerks and secretaries of community
social centers were not impractical
most of them having been tried sue
cessfully in Wisconsin. She said she
realized democracy could not be OBJ
tanned through a machine. but that I'VE
must have the means of expressing
ourselves as citizens in a more vital
way"

miles south of Halifax, n. s.. had been
received here today by the steamers
local agents, Simpson. Spencer &
Young. The agents expressed the be-
lief that the fire was not serious as
the Rio Lagos apparently did not re-
quest the Frederik VIII, which sighted
the distressed steamer. to standby, but
merely to notify Halifax by radio.
The Rio Lagos sailed from New York
for Queenstown October 81, with a
cargo of sugar. The local agents
denied today that the steamer carried
munitions.
The report of the fire revived dis
cussion in shipping circles of previous
ires aboard sugar ships. The origin
of these fires was more or less mys-
FERROUS. but all were reported to have
been caused by incendiary or ex-
Iplosive bombs secreted in sugar bags

the port of Guaymas to get base OF

at Aqua Prieta, if possible, but that 1t
was planned long ago to move on to
Naco, to HermosiIle and then on to the
