WOULD NEED 2e4 SUBMARINES
Germans Would Require That Num-
Der to Effectually Blockade
All British Ports.

Assuming that the German subma-
rines are based at Zeebrugge, the time
required for the passage to and from
blockading stations off the ports OF
Great Britain would be about four
days. The average time necessary for
overhauling at the base between trips
may be estimated at six days, and the
time which may be spent at sea be-
tween visits to the base cannot well
exceed twenty days. Consequently II
would be impracticable to maintain
more than about half of the total force
of submarines on blockading stations.
There are forty-nine ports on the
coasts OF England. Scotland. and
Wales which it would be necessary for
the German submarines to blockade il
all supplies are to be cut of.
An effective blockade of any port
could scarcely bs maintained in the
face of defensive operations, which
must be expected, with less than three
submarines. and double that number
would be none too many. If the min
imum number Of three boats be al
lowed for each port. the Germans
would require at least 147 constantly
on station to close all the ports Of
Great Britain; that is. allowing for the
necessary passage time to and from
the base and the essen .ial overhaul
ing period, the total force should be
294 submarines.-Wor Work.

MORAL TONIC FOR THE BOYS
Scientist Macdonald Praises Baseball
Game-Directs Surplus Energy
Into Right Channel.

Arthur Macdonald a well-known
scientist Of Washington, said the other
day:
Il consider baseball one of the great
est moral tonics for boys and young
men that exists. 1t directs the sur
plus physical energy of youth into the
right channel for otherwise this
energy might be employed in wrong
ways which are detrimental to moral
and physical life. Baseball is one of
those fundamental educational forces
of prevention whose power and utility
are not realized until it is taken away.
Our national and manly game has
so permeated the mind and nervous
system of the boys and young men
that there are very few who could not
pass better examination on baseball
than on any of the studies in school,
This being perfectly true there is
no chance for the game to die out,
no matter how much it may be abused
by grasping and thoughtless magnates
and players There are some people
VINO see permanent leSSenlnS OF IN
terest in the national sport on account
CT the activities of the Federal league,
which has caused some lack of conf
dence in the professional end of the
game. But there are plenty of signs
that this disgust is only temporary.
Crowds are thronging back to the
parks as it becomes evident that major
league ball is being conducted strict
ly on the level and for the interest of
the spectators.

New System OF Discipline.


The West Virginia industrial school
for boys at Pruntytown, has under
taken a new system that is expected
70 help solve the question of discip.
line. Besides furnishing quarters for
boys who can not be quartered COM
fortably in the present dormitories,
the plan is to construct cottages on
the institutions farm of over 1,00i
acres, accommodating twenty boys
each. These cottages virtually will be
unconnected in any way with the main
buildings, having kitchens, dining
rooms, sleeping quarters, etc, com
piete. Boys who have received the
highest grades for conduct will be
given the right automatically to re-
move to the cottages and if the plan
works out as successfully as expected,
other cottages will be constructed
later. The honor system already is
being used by Superintendent Flesher
with success, and the cottage idea will
go hand in hand with the system now
IN operation. Many Improvements have
been made to the large farm connect
ed with the school, new buildings add.
ed and new machinery obtained dur.
ing the last few years. The farm is
one of the finest in the county. Over
1000 bushels of wheat were threshet
this year on the farm.

"You Don't Say &c." Replied Madam
Pio,

here is someone to make them stand
around. Old White Rooster let them
rule him. and he pecked at hen
that was in his path.
Isn't he disagreeable?" said Speck-
led Hen. Did you see him push
Yellow Hem"
Yes said Black, Hen, but every
body is picking at him Just because
he is a newcomer.
The new rooster cannot crow as
loudly as White Rooster said
Speckled Hen the next morning. Did
you notice the sun this morning? He
did not show his face for long time
after the new rooster crowed."
We'll, for one thing, he is just
splendid" said Black Hen; 'he makes
everybody stand around and do not
blame him. | think the old hens are
very rude to him
Just then there was a great cluck-
ing and confusion among the hens

Whether the suddenness of the at
tack surprised the hawk so much that
he forgot to swoop chicken in his
flight, or whether he was really fright
ened, no one knew, but the new roost-
er was a hero in a minute. He walked
away as though nothing had hap
pened and went into the barn, the
frightened hens running after him, but
he did not look at one of them.
Somebody must tell him." said
Black Hen, I'VE never had such pro-
tector before. He should be told that
we think he is brave"
So Speckled Hen stepped up to the
new rooster
1--WE wish to thank you" she said,
glad to have among us a rooster who
is so brave" The new rooster
stretched his neck and held his head
very high.

but l only did my duty. A rooster
should be a protector of his flock as

never do to be friendly with those

the chickens gazed after him with ad-
miration They understood that he
intended to be the ruler of the yard.

May Not Justify Rates.

Railroads may not justify any az
legged differences in rates for coal car
rying as between Ohio and West Vir-
ginia mines, by showing varying con-
ditions in mining or grades of coal, ac-
cording to a ruling by the state utili-
ties commission at Columbus in the
first hearing of the complaint of Ohio
operators against Ohio railroad COM
panies. The lower rate given West
Virginia coal operators has partly
crippled the coal industry in Ohio and
has caused among other things gem
eral quiet in the Ohio coal fields.

OHIO TO EXCLUDE
WEST VA. COAL
CASE BEFORE PUBLIC SERVICE
COMMISSION AT OHIO CAPITAL
OF VITAL IMPORTANCE.
CUT IN FRIGHT RATES ON COAL
Would Cut Of Twenty-Five Millions
From Annual Tonnage of West
Virginia Fields.
Especial Charleston Correspondence,

C.t
Charleston, W. Va.-Of vital i'm
portance to the coal interests of West
Virginia is the case of the United
Mine Workers of Ohio VS.. the Allied
Railroads of that state for the pre-
liminary statements in advance of the
hearing but the public service com
mission of the demand of the mine
workers for reduced freight rates on
intrastate coal shipments. People in
touch with the situation say that it is
Mine Workers, who are supported in
their course by the operators of Ohio
and many other powerful influences,
to so adjust the rates that West Vir-
ginia coal Will be excluded from the
markets of Ohio and the lakes, step
which would make decline of twen-
ty-fve million tons annually in West
Virginia production and the cessation
of the operation of the mines of the
state during the summer as the lake
trade is the only sustaining factor
during this period of the year. Under
present conditions West Virginia is
hampered in competition on this mar
ket by already unfavorable freight
rates in Ohio, where an effort is to be
made now to have a reduction granted
of twenty-five cents on the ton. The
same desire to defeat the selling of
West Virginia coal on the Ohio and
lake markets was seen several years
federal court order advancing the
rates of roads carrying coal from
West Virginia into Ohio. Failing in
this it is now charged that the various
influences who regard it as undesir-
able for West Virginia coal to enter
the Ohio market, are seeking such a
radical reduction in Ohio rates as to
make further competition from this
side of the river impossible.

THE NEW ROOSTER

THE old White Rooster is Dead
said Black Hen. putting her head
through the bars of the pigpen
You don't say So" replied Madam
Pig. did he die a natural death?"
she inquired.
No., said Black Hen, "he was too
old and tough to eat. This morning
when the hens opened their eyes he
was on the floor of the henhouse with
his toes in the air.
Where will they bury him." asked
Madam Pig.
Il do not know" replied the Black
Hen, as she ran to group of hens she
saw not far away.
The master took him away" said
one, and now wonder who will take
his place
He was here long time and he
crowed beautifully" said Speckled
Hen. 1T will be hard to find his
equal"
That afternoon the farmer came
into the yard and from under his arm
flew a rooster. He was black, with
red and yellow mixed in his feathers,
and he was young. AS the hens gazed
at him he seemed to feel the import
ance of his position, and he strutted
through the yard without turning his
head. When he reached the pigpen
he flew to the top of the fence and,
spreading out his wings, turned
around that the sun might fall upon
his gorgeous colors.
Isn't he handsome?" said Black
Hen.
He isn't so large as White Rooster"
said Speckled Hen. Then the rooster
crowed three times. Madam Pig
looked up at him.
He crows WELL" she remarked to
her mate, "but | am afraid he is too
young"

and flew to the ground.
