STRONG NAVY ADVOCATES
WIN H0N0RS OF DEBATE
Teams Of George Washington Uni
vsrsity Society Discuss Subject
Relating to National Defense.

Supporters Of a strong navy for the
United States won first honors in q de-
bate held by the Columbia Debating So
ciety Of George Washington University
sity Friday evening in Norton Hall in
the Law School. The resolution de-
bated was that the United States
Navy should be increased SO as to rank
second to only one foreign power"
The Affirmative was upheld by B. NJ.
stovall and M. A. ostrow. while the
negative was defended by L. e. PendelI
and c. H. Hutton. Arguments used by
the affirmative were the martial con-
ditions Of the times and strained for
eign relations.
The supporters Of the negative
argued that the coast fortifications
were suficient for national defense.
To further increase the navy, they held,
would be wasteful extravaganza and
warlike step.
The judges decided two to one in
favor Of the affirmative and chose as
first honor man B. NJ. Stoval and as
second honor man M. A. Ostrow.
The subject for debate this week
affirms that ownership of municipal
urban utilities is desirable"

and Spoils Anticipated Sport.

Many bass fishermen who left this
city yesterday for points along the up
per Potomac were sorely disappointed
at finding the water too muddy for
fishing. Reports from Harpers Ferry
yesterday morning showed that the
Potomac was clear and The Shenandoah

only two days fishing since July 8, and
when it was reported that the water
was in good condition yesterday morn
ing many of them made hurried prepa-
rations to enjoy the sport.
John w. Hurley was one OF the nrst
to get away. He went to Harpers
Ferry on a morning train and was dis
appointed at finding the water in bad
condition. He learned that there had
been a terrific thunderstorm In the
Shenandoah valley Friday night. and
yesterday afternoon. he stated. the
Shenandoah river was high and muddy.

BY WINGRovE BATHoN.

The proposal by Lord Miner and
others in the house of lords at London
Thursday that the siege of the OAR

created the most intense interest among
naval officers and other military strate-
sists in Washington. Conversations
Yesterday with some of these experts
on combined naval and land warfare
With particular reference to the failure
SO far of the allies to force the OAR
danelles, brought forth instant refe
ences to the principles of naval strategy
laid down by Admiral Mahan, recos-
nized among all nations as one OF the
worlds greatest authorizes On 'ia'
subject.
This Is what Admiral Mahan SAID:
"ships are unequally matched against
forts, Just as cavalry and infantry are

others proper sphere.

The tendency among military organ

denced by the fact that a Washing

that II. Oden Lake, national commander

also has opened national headquarters
here. At several Of the recent national
encampments of organizations of SOL

strongly urged that Washington is the
logical place for national headquarters.
Two organizations having opened such
headquarters here. it was pointed out

CAPTAIN MATSON
IS ANNOYED AT
ISLAND PEOPLE
Dr.. c. B. Cooper Says Head of
Steamship Company Feels He
Does Not Get Square Deaf

That Capt. William Matson. head OF
the. Matson Navigation Company, is
annoyed at the people of the Hawaiian
islands, Is the news made public today
at Rotary Club luncheon by DR.. c.
B.. Cooper, who returned last week
from "a visit to the mainland.
Captain Matson, said DR.. Cooper,
feels mat his line is not always fairly
treated by Hawaii shippers and cites
in support of his grievance the cases
of various freight cargoes diverted to
tramp steamers after having been con-
signed to Matson ships before the
tramps appeared and offered to take
the tonnage at cut rates.
Island people pay $3.50 per ton
freight now, according to Matson, but
the company is continually offered
tonnage from the coast to Australia at
s17.50 per ton and would be assured
Of full cargoes for each ship despatch
ed to Australia.
Dr. Cooper's reference to Matson
came during the course of talk on
his visit to the two California expo
sitions. He told the guests at the
Rotary Club luncheon, which was held
at the Commercial Club, that he be-
lieved Honolulu people furnished a
large share OF the gate receipts at the
San Francisco fair.
