WILSON REVIEWS FLEET
PRECEDENT ALSO SPEAKS At
LUNCHEON IN GOTHAM.
Has Praise for Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels and the Navy-Re-
celves Ovation.

New York, May 19.-President VIII
son on Monday delivered a patriotic
address on the American nag and the
protection 1t carries for Americans at
a luncheon given In his honor by the
New York citizens committee for the
reception OF the Atlantic feet
When the president arose to speak
soon after reviewing the parade OF
sailors and marines from the feet he
was cheered enthusiastically.
The president declared that the
luncheon was not the occasion at
which It was wise for him to make
an extended address. He said he al
ways had had deep interest In the
navy.
1T is right" he asserted. that
America should have great navy to
express its character"
The navy, he added, brought the
United States into touch with the rest
of the world. Secretary Daniels was
praised warmly. Under him, the presi-
dent said, the navy had become more
and more efficient. The secretary.
he declared, had his entire support.
"The navy Of the United States"
the president continued. expresses
our ideals. The fleet lying here at
New York is great feet and has
nothing of buster about 1t. The great
thing about America is that 1t wants
no territory and questions no other
nations honor. We stand for human
ity and for the things that humanity
wants"
Speaking Of the flag, the president
asserted that 1t typifled all that was
best in the world.
THE mission Of America" he went
on. "is what her soldiers and sailors
should think of. They have nothing
to do with shaping of policies. Some
times the persons who run the United
States forget the principles upon
which It was founded. but the people
themselves never forget.
When crisis occurs in this coun-
try It is as II you put your finger
on the pulse of the nation-as II you
put your hand on the pulse of dy-
namo.
I'VE lift no threats against any ma
ton or class In the United States.
This fleet in the river is great SOL
enn evidence that the force of Amer
lea Is the force of moral principle.
There is nothing else for which she
will contend" -

TO FIGHT WITH GAS.
LORD KITCHENER SAYS THE
British WILL ADOPT THE
GERMAN METHOD.
DEMANDS 100000 MORE MEN
Must Employ Tactics Of the Enemy
In Order to Adequately Protect
Troops Of the Allies Fighting the
Tsutons.

London, May 20--Lord Kitchener.
secretary for war. speaking on Tues
day in the house Of lords, indicated
the intention Of the allies to use pol.
sonous gases against the Germans.
AT the same time he made demand
for 100000 more men.
"The British and French govern
ments," he said. feel that the troops
must be adequately protected from
the employment Of poisonous gases.
Only by the adoption Of similar meth
DDS can we remove the enormous and
unjustifiable disadvantage which must
exist II no steps are taken"
Reviewing the fighting which had
taken place In Flanders since his last
speech. he said:
THE improvement In the weather
enabled our troops. which had been
strongly REINFORCED, to take the Of
fensive. The action at Neuve Cha
pelle was fought with great gallantry
and enabled US to occupy what, from
a military point OF view. was very
valuable position.
Toward the end of last month the
Germans carried out violent at
tack on portion OF the allied front
held by the French northeast OF
Ypres. In order to succeed. the en-
envy employed vast quantities Of poi
sonous gases In defiance OF the rec
ognized rules of warfare and In vio-
lation OF their pledged word. The
allies were utterly unprepared for
this diabolical method Of attack.
which undoubtedly had been long and
carefully prepared by the enemy.
THE forced retirement In front of
the heavy clouds OF gases which pre-
coded the German advance at Ypres
resulted in the left flank of the
Canadian division being exposed.
THE Canadians suffered severely
from the poisonous fumes, but never
theless they held to the position In
the most determined manner. This
was an ordeal to try the qualities OF
the finest army in the world and all
the more credit is due the soldiers OF
Canada, who were unprepared for
such an attack. and were. at the
same time, exposed to whitening
fire
Reluctantly, and with perfect
steadiness, they withdrew their left
flank to conform with the new align
ment The Canadians were soon sup
ported by British brigades which
were pushed up. and the enemys ad.
vance was thereby checked.
"As result OF this retirement,
Sir John French decided to draw back
his line from the salient of Ypres,
This withdrawal was carried out with
mastery success on May 3. Though
an operation of this sort Is a difi.
cult military achievement and is
usually fraught with heavy losses.
no serious casualties attached to It."
Summing up, he said:
I'm recent operations our losses
have been heavy, but the task was
one which necessitated great sacri-
fices. The spirit and morale OF the
troops we're never higher.

BEST THEATRE

Today-Victor Moore, positively one of the foremost theatrical comedy stars in the world, will make his film debut as the star of Jesse l.. Lasky's picturization of "Sno5s,' the famous society satire by George Bronson Howard. This is the attraction which the strand theatre in New York City chose for the first anniversary week
 "Snohs" is an uproarious comedy based on satirieal idea and which is completely removed from cheap slap stick farces-it tells the story of a milkman who suddenly inherits the title of an English duke and some twenty millions of actual money. He is anxious enough to have the money but the society l9 bors of being a duke are quite another matter.
 His experiences with society and the people he meets finally drive him to wish to be a poor milkman again; it is all very amusingly told in the pictures.

 Pike Shooting in Scotland.
 The killing of a fish by a sword by a lieutenant of the Royal Engineers receives much publicity. It may not have been hard to do, for pike often move sluggishly. and on fine warm days they have a habit of basking on the surface. In Scotland people shoot pike regularly, the corpses being brought ashore by retriever dogs. But in Scotland they shoot several things that in England we kill in other ways, Foxes, for example.-London Chron- icle.

When Peg Tankard Was Used,

It is true no doubt that among tho early -SaXons-of the same stock as the Germans-there was great Ideal of hard drinking and a good deal of drunkenness, although after the incursions of the Normans the habits of the country in this respect were greatly improved. Very quaint and very curious are some Of the reg. ulations which were adopted for the purpose of compelling thirsty souls to practice moderation. At the instance, 1t is said, of St. Dunstan. archbishop of Canterbury, King Edgar, for the pur- pose of regulating the quantity man might drink, ordained that pegs or pins should he inserted in the large drinking vessels then in use. The first person who drank emptied the tank ard to the first peg from the top, the second to the second peg, and so on. Anyone who went beyon9 one pin was liable to penalty.
