WAS Won MEYER?

- ONE assertions by our
militarists are beyond
comprehension. Here is
Won Meyer, secretary of the
navy under Roosevelt. denoun-
eng the American navy as un-
fit for anything. He says there
is a scarcity of ships and he
brands the navy as unfit in
most every respect. He lays
all the blame on Secretary
Daniels.
If our navy is in such de-
plorable shape does the blame
belong upon Daniels or on Won
Meyer and other former heads
of the department. Daniels
has been in office but three
years. If he had striven with
all his power for gigantic
navy he could not have accom-
Tlished it yet. 1t is the work
of years to build up a navy. To
build a single dreadnaught is
the work of several years,
What excuse has Won Meyer
to offer for handing to his sue
cessor such an insignificant
fighting equipment?
Then here is something more
to the point, what is the cali
bre of Won Meyers American
ism when at a trying junction
like this he 50 fiercely assails
our navy chief? Does he add
to the prestige of the United
States in connection with its
diplomatic negotiations by as
serting we are absolutely i'm
potent even to defend ourselves
from invasion?
Assuredly he does not. He
lis saying in effect to European
nations, do as you like re-
garding American rights, the
country is in no shape to dis
pute with you"
The preparedness campaign
should call for administering
the oath of allegiance to at
least one ex-naval secretary.

HENRY JAMES

mF the late Henry James
had been a little more
yielding in the asperities
of his style, he would have
been a novelist of great popu-
lar liking-but then he would
not have been Henry James
He had the power and the arr
of telling a story, but ne pur-
posely, it seemed, blindfolded
his readers of the average sort
so that they could not see the
tale under its linguistic cover
ing. He was justly called "a
noyelists' novelist" and no man
can be wholly great who is that
in large degree.

LACK INTEREST IN BREEDING
MAJ Who Is Responsible for Greatest
Sport in World Falling into
Decay in America.

"The man who goes out to the race
track, bets on a horse and shows no
interest in the breeding, even if his
favorite wins, is of no use to the
sport, of no assistance to the breed
ing industry and does not love a
horse"
That, in a nutshell, expresses the
views of Robert S. Sievier, the ia
nous English horseman, now visiting
America for the purpose of acquaint-
ing himself with the methods of Amer
lean stud farms and the future of rae
ing as sport.
Moreover" explained Mr. Sievier,
the kind of man mention is the one
who is responsible for the greatest
sport in the world falling into decay
in America. A person Cho is not in
terested in the breeding OF horses has
no real interest at a race meet. He
is merely gambler.
by that / do not mean to say that
men ought not to bet on horse races.
Men always have bet on their favor
lite horses and always will. Without
this element the sport would lose
much of its zest, but betting should
not be paramount. Interest in breed
ing is what denotes a true lover of
the horse"

with that heart as his entire stock he
set out to make a record.
That heart carried Bat Nelson to
championship, and it held that title
for him until along came AID Wolgast.
Bat won't admit even now that the
Michigan Dutchman gave him a beat
ing in 1910, but Referee Ed Smith
thought so and stopped the fighting,
giving Wolgast a technical knockout
and the championship. But the Danes
fight career did not stop with that
defeat. His heart was still with him.
He has kept right on fighting with
one object in view. He wants that
title back-not for what it's worth in
gold, but to redeem himself.
Bat says he doesn't care about the
financial end of the game any more.
That's bosh, of course He does like
that old per cent. But talk with him
will convince you that money isn't all
he's after. He is in earnest about re-
gaining the championship.

respects before this war is over, but

any form, in its own shell, garnished
with maraschino cherry, or cut in

and little lemon juice sprinkled over

Then there are the various sorts Of
canapes-tiny strips of toast spread
with some fruit titbit Any of the fish
pastes can be used and garnished with
sliced hard-boiled egg or sliced olives.
flashed leftover meat can be mois-
tened with little mayonnaise and
spread on a strip OF hot buttered
toast. or meat minced and heated in a
little cream or stock Use olives or
hard-boiled eggs or a little minced
parsley for garnish.
Various vegetables can be used for
canapes. A slice of ripe tomato, topped
by a spoonful of mayonnaise and
placed on a round of buttered toast of
the same size, is delicious. A long strip
of toast an inch wide can have thin
slices of cucumber Tapped one over
the other it's entire length, each dotted
with a bit of mayonnaise. Or few

butter very hot can he ni1ed in naat
