The world of men dresses by the world of women, and falls into a dis organized mob, socially, without them. A community of old maids may be a dry and sterile and unloveIy assem- blaze, but it preserves all the pune ticlios of civilization, nay, refines them to the nth degree; where an isolated group of men, though it may con struct railways and bridges, tame floods and remove mountains, sinks to condition of savagery in it's per sonal conduct of life-Isabel Paterson.

DREADNAUGHTS ARE
 WHAT THEY WANT
EXPERTS GAN SEE FROM THE REGENT BRITlSH-GERMAN
 GREAT BATTLE

WASHINGTON, June 7.-The sec retary of the navy said today that the chief lesson taught by the British German naval engagement is the sup eriority of the batleships over the battle cruisers and the inestimable value of the zeppelin as an active fighting arm of the navy.
 This is the opinion of the naval ex- perts after studying the reports thus far received of Wednesdays historic battle.
 The immediate effect has been to crystalize sentiment in the navy for adding dreadnaughts to the naval bill and to obtain an appropriation for the purchase of dirigbles.
 Ground work for campaign to in crease the naval bill was taken at a conference today between secretary Daniels, Rear Admiral Benson, chief of naval operations. and senator Till man, chairman of the senate naval affairs committee.
 Naval experts continued today to credit the zeppelins with chief res possibility for Germany's naval vic tory. Officers, including Admiral Benson, were of the opinion that these airships rendered invaluable battle services.
 Secretary Daniels accepted the views of the naval experts and gave orders to hasten the experiments with the first naval dirigible, which is now under construction and is soon to be given a test at Pensacola, Fla.

NEARLY LOST HIS LIFE

Early this morning a cry for help was heard at the city float and on in- vestigation 1t was found that a man had fallen into the water and was picked up by another who was unable to haul the drenched one out without assistance, hence the call for help.
 It appears that one of the men on the powerboat 'Sealight on going to his quarters, fell into the water. An other from the boat Niagara, that stood close by, heard the splash and went to the rescue. Being alone he was unable to pull the man on the float, but held on, meanwhile calling out for others to come. It was not until some twenty-five minutes later that help arrived and the man was pulled out none the worse for his early morning bath. The name of the party nor the names of his help could not be learned. Every move is involved in mystery.

SAY JASPER ALLEN
USED BRASS kkUCkS
Assailant, 1t Is Believed. To Save
His Own Life.

Roanoke, Va. March 2i,-That
Jasper Allen was armed with pair
Of brass knucks at the time that he
attacked William McCraw, now in Jail
here charged with murder of the last
great leader of the Allen elan. was
established yesterday when delegates
who came here from Carroll County
to attend the State Republican, con-
vention discussed the situation.
Beyond shadow of doubt accord-
ing TO the statements of several of the
"Hillsmen." young McCraw was COM
PEELED to shoot the mountain chief
tain in order to protect himself.
McCraw. according TO the state
ments of the visitors, is well thought
Of and was never a hlockader. The
"a phases in the hands of the sheriff in
North Carolina are all dead; they
were regarded as a joke, and were
never looked upon seriously. They
were the results of the discovery Of
several kegs of mountain dew"
whiskey. on which apparently no
license had been paid and which had
been taken from Patrick County Va.
to Mt. Airy. n c. One of the kegs.
according to the story. bore a tag
marked with McCraw's name. On
this information the warrants for the
arrest of McCraw were issued, when,
az matter of fact, the whiskey never
came into the possession of McCraw.
The warrant was never treated seri-s
ously, and his friends say McCraw
would have gone to Mt Airy had he
known he was wanted there.
Counsel Expects Acquittai.
The concensus Of opinion among the
mountain people is that McCraw did
only what he had to do in shooting
Jasper Allen. A Bruce Hunt. OF this
city attorney for McCraw said this
morning that while he did not wish
to discuss the matter at present, he
had no doubt but that MeCraw will
have no trouble when the proper time
arrives OF proving beyond any reasons
able doubt that hts acts were purely
TO save himself from the attack of
Allen.
The story Of how Allen and McCraw
met at the home of Mrs. Martin has
been told and the version of the noun
tain men regarding this does not vary
Previous TO 2;07 o'clock on that
fatal Friday night or early Saturday
morning, when the clock stopped
showing beyond a shadow of doubt
the exact time of the battle, and after
Allen had gone to the room which
had been allotted him. say the rnouf,-
tain men, ALLEN retu rr4ed to the room
in his stocking feet. He then ASSAULT
ed McCraw. In the assault Allen used
pair of brass knucks, which were
found by the authorities McCraw at
tempted to get away from him, but to
no purpose"
How Attack Occurred.
The visitors stated that in their
opinion and from what they could
learn of the matter Allen attacked
McCraw and struck him with the
knucks. McCraw attempted to get
away and failed Allen struck again
and McCraw returned the blow. The
men then clinched and in the strug-
gle McCraw drew his gun. Allen held
the right arm of McCraw in the air..
and the shooting was done by, Me-
Craw from this position. When Allen
fell he dropped the knucks.
