ONLY fifteen hundred million dol
lars! That's the trifing sum the
navy patriots want Congress to ap-
propriate for their department now,
to cover expenditures for several
years ensuingl One million laborers,
putting their wages at two dollars a
day, each, in two and one-half years
could earn the amount called for. See
how modest the demand when you
cipher it down.

weeks holding-forth in Jefferson City.
A per diem of about one hundred dol

who shall say it is not a pleasing con-
iunction-the salvation of souls with
the accumulation of dollars?

ARE ALWAYS ON THE WATCH
How BattIeships at Sea Keep Informed
of the Whereabouts OF an
Enemy's Fleet.

Every battleship at sea has its
wireless installation adjusted so that
it can send and receive signals and
messages to other squadrons at sea
or in harbor and to stations ashore.
One ship is always in direct touch
I with the admiralty, whence the latest
information received at headquarters
from all parts of the world IS immed1-
ately transmitted to the fleet, while
each of the other ships composing the
fleet Is similarly responsible for some
particular station ashore or for
cruiser squadron or fiotilla of torpedo
boat destroyers.
! For the purpose of obtaining infor-
nation as to the whereabouts OF the
enemy and guarding against surprises
wireless telegraphy is, of course, inval-
liable, says the Wireless World Lon-
DOM. A great number of cruisers are
sent out ahead and spread number
of miles across. The duty Of these
ships is to keep a thorough lookout
and report to the ship in the battle
feet looking out on their particular
wavelength. This ship, in turn, re-
ports by semaphore or Morse-lamp to
the admiral of the battle feet. The
cruisers are sometimes assisted by
torpedo boat destroyers Now, If 30
Of these ships are used 1t will be read
lily seen that the area of their vision
is enormous, and it would be almost
impossible for a feet to pass unob-
served. Immediately any of the ships
sight the enemy's squadron they would
report at once by wireless, stating the
number of ships sighted, with their
speed, latitude and longitude, etc. The
admiral would then give his orders,
also by wireless.

In due time, the people came togeth
err to Samuel to have the Lords Will
expressed In the choice of king
amongst them. Again Samuel told
them the dangers Of leaving the sim
plicity of Gods arrangement and TAX
ing up with the monarchial arrange
ment. But, seeing that they still de
sired king, he acted for them and
drew lots. Finally the lot fell upon
Saul. as Samuel and Saul knew that
1t would: for they believed that Gods
hand was in the matter.

forth, he filed the peoples ideal. They

and told him their desires. Samuel
was disappointed, but gave them no
answer until he had conferred with
God. The Lord babe him not to be of

God was willing to let them have their
experiences with kings, and instructed
Samuel to inform them fully what
would be the consequences.
Samuel explained that the kings
would exercise more or less autocratic
power and would conscript their sons

be greatly abridged; that their wealth
would more or less flow into the king $

Divine Foreknowledge illustrated. a.
At the appointed time Samuel, hav-
ing received instructions from the
Lord, came In contact with the future
king-Saul, son of Kish. A herd of
asses having strayed from Kish's farm,
Saul was sent to seek them. After
searching in vain, he called upon the
Prophet to ask where the asses were.
The answer was that the asses were
found, but that Saul was to dine with
the Prophet In an appointed place.
where other guests had been invited.
The place Of honor was given Saul,
who was astounded to hear the Proph-
ct speak of him as Israel's choice for
leader. He modestly called attention
to the fact that he belonged to a small
tribe-Benj amin-and that his family
was the least in 1t, But the Prophet
persisted.
The next morning he was directed
respecting his journey In such man
ner that he would have c0rroborations
Of things that the Prophet had intimat-
ed. Moreover, he was to have expert
ences which would make him chang
ed man. As the two walked together,
the Prophet drew forth vial of oil
and poured 1t upon Saul's head, anoint-
ing him king of Israel by Divine ap-
pointment. However, matters were TO
be kept secret until later time.
Saul's faith in the Prophets declara-
ton was strengthened by the fulfil

Where Home Folks Come First.

In Chicago men who need work are
being given blue tickets. These tick
cts identify the holders as bona tde
residents of Chicago. The object is to
give needy Chicagrans first call on
jobs and charity and to shut out an
army of drifters who crowd into the
city in the cold months to live on
charity. OF course, the blue tickets
do not doom to starvation all strang-
ers who reach Chicago in starving
condition. They simply insure pref
erence to Chicagoars when aid is ex-
tended and discourage the professional
hoboes.

Poland Not Wild and pesoIate.

The prevalent impression in the
west that the operations in Poland
have been conducted in wild and des-
olate country is curiously wide of the
truth Poland is now more densely
populated than any other part of Rus
STA, and the towns which have figured
in the recent dispatches are centers
of thriving industry. Radon, now
out of sound of the guns, has
large tanneries and distilleries, Ka-
lisz through which big German col
umn passed to relieve the pressure in
the center, is famous for lace and
embroAderies Every little town around
which the fighting has ragged has its
own mills, chiefly textile. Poland is
rich in minerals, and its coal field is
of considerable extent. 1t is not neces-
sary to cross into Silesia to find either
factories or Germans engaged in run
ming them If Russia could have
saved Poland from invasion we may
be sure she would have done so.-

PLAN READY FOR

Washington, D. c., Dec. 24.-The
congressional subcommittee of the
Joint committee on rural credits had
before it today for approval the final
draft OF a rural credits bill. This
committee will report to the full COM
mittee next Monday after which the
latter body will make its report to
both houses on rural credit legisla-
ton. The subcommittee had incor-
porated into the final draft Of the bill
provision fixing at $6,000,000 the
capital stock OF the twelve land mort
gage banks which, distributed about
the country according to the agricul-
ture needs, are to form the backbone
of the rual credit system. These banks
will be permitted to charge maxi
mum of six per cent interest to the
farm borrowers but are expected by
the committees to charge less interest
than that normally. This land bank
system will be independent Of the fed.
eral reserve or any other existing
banking system and will be controlled
by central board whose officers will
hs in Washington.
