Three of America's five wars Of omit the al- lied invasion Of China and two similar affairs) were fought for the freedom of the seas. The war against Trpol resulting in tho famous epigram, "Mil- lions for defense but not cent for tribute" the short naval conflict with France and the War of 1872 were contests for the right of Americans to use the sea in accordance with the laws of Nations.
 It was Che killing of three American sailors which so innamed the 100000 Americans of hundred years ago that the War Of 1872 became inevitable At that time the world conditions were all respects similar to present conditions Great Britain attempting to prevent Americans from trading with France and the French sought to prevent American supplies from go' ing to England Now Great Britain Is seeking to stop American and German trade and Germany is endeav- bring to prevent shipment of supplies to England Then as now there was starvation war; under way. Great Britain and her allies were endeavorng to crush Ma poleon as they are now trying to perform similar tasonly Germany instead Of France IS the objective now.
 The difference between 1872 and the present is that 1t was Great Britain who was careless of the lives of Americans in 1872 This time 1t is her enemy
 Already Germany has unlawfully caused the loss of many uore American lives than Great Britain caused early in the last century.
 The United States does not want to so to war Of that. there is no doubt. She has had ample cause as causes for war are rated. She desires part or parcel of war booty She is casting up ledger ac counts to see where her interests lie. Nor is she stay ing out because of fear Her position Is of honor and one of right Her attitude is unique among the great Nations.
 But 1ooooOooo Americans today 'are just as insis tent upon the protection of American right to the free dom of the seas and the protection Of American life as were the 100000 Americans of JeTerson's and Madisous time and they just ready to support Wilson and Lansing as their foretathers were to sup port Madison and Monroe when the call to arms was issued in 1872.

WILL SURVEY
 HOMESTSADS

Juneau Dispatch, E. S. Dorman and T. G. Dorman, surveyors con uected with the forest service di- vision headquarters at Portland, Orc gon, arrived in Juneau yesterday and will spend their time surveying homestead locations in the Ton gas forest.
 They will work with Juneau as the.r headquarters for some time, later transferring their location to Ketchikan. They have nine home st,ad locations to survey, and eX- pect orders for more before they finish.
 The hOmesteads to be surveyed by them are known officially as "JGac Il claims or homestead claims which have been located un- der the act approved June Il, 1906.
 When the act of congress setting aside the forest reserves it auto matlcaIlv made mill and void the application of the homestead laws 2s aprlying to lands in the re- serves. The forest service has ac- kuowledged the eXistnce of agricul- tural lands in 'he reserves and a special act was passed by congress allowing the non-timber lands in the reserves to be located for home steals and agricultural purposes.
 The administration of the lands under this act is taken from the general land office and is handled by the forest officials, entirely. They even make the final surveys of the homestead claims free of charge to the settlers, thereby saving him aD- proximateIy $500 on each claim.

INVESTING MONEY.
Don't Buy Securities Unless You Are
 Positive They Are Sound.

Don't Buy Securities Unless You Are
 Positive They Are Sound. A good counselor of Wall street was talking to me about Investments in stocks. He said:
 "Tell people not to be in q hurry 10 buy. The average investor as differ entlated from the steady speculator, doesn't put much money into stocks, and what he does invest Is apt tO be the accumulation of months or years. He can very well afford to wait until he finds out about the stock which in terests him.
 "The stock market Is with Us always. Tell your friends to study 1t carefully for time before going into 1t. Tell them to put their money ill savings bank for six months and let it draw in terest at 8 or per cent while they study the market actions of the stocks they think of buying. Suppose in that time prices do rise steadily and the stocks prove to be sound-the increased price in that case will be q small tax on their ultimate profits"
 It Is good advice for all investors of small experience. An investment ought to have market price-whether 1t be stocks, bonds, mortgages, com mercial notes, farms or city real estate The market price of q safe and sound investment ought, on the whole, to rise; when 1t sags the depression ought not to be great, and 1t ought to be due to perfectly logical and easily understand able causes.
 Beware of the seller who tries to hurry you into buying by saying that the market price of what he has to sell Is going up. In most instances you'll find that he's wrong, and if 1t does go up consistently and logically over a De- riOd of months you may reasonably eX- pect that after you buy 1t Its rise will continue.
 Don't be In a hurry. You can easily lose in an hour what has required years to accumulate. Look, listen, in vestigate! The financial history of in- vestments open to the average buyer can be learned-usually the bank i'll which you have your money deposited can put you in the way of learning 1t For every cent spent in finding out be- fore buying the investor will get back q dollar In safety and better returns.- John NJ. Oskison In Chicago News.

FIRST RECORDED ECLIPSE.
Chinese Astronomers Were Punished
 For Not Predicting lt.

Chinese Astronomers Were Punished
 For Not Predicting lt.
 Messrs. Hirayama and Ogura have published in the proceedings of the Tokyo MathematicO-physical society the results of their attempts to fix the dates of some early eClipses recorded In Chinese literature.
 The earliest is mentioned in one of the books of the Shu Ching, where 1t is recorded that In the region of Chung KanG, the fourth emperor of the Hsla dynasty, there occurred an eclipse Of the sun which had not been predicted by the astronomers, who were alleged to have been drunk and to have neglected their duties. Hence the GUS tomary rites for delivering the sun, which should have been arranged In advance and superintended by the as- tronOmers, were In the emergency per formed by other officials without proper preparation. The emperor aC- cordingly ordered the army to punish the astronomers.
 A later document makes 1t possible to fix the date of this event as Oct 13, 2127 B. c. (Julian calendar)-the earli- est recorded eclipse in the world. Cal culation shows that there actually was a solar eclipse on that date, but prob ably not in China, though the elements of the motions of the sun and moon are not accurate enough to indicate certainly the path of so remote an eclipse. The authors are inclined to think that the information fixing the dnte of the eclipse Is due to Chinese astronomers of a later age, who cal culated that an eclipse occurred on that date and enormously supposed that 1t was visible in China.
