Rooseveit's Charges Ridiculous.

Secretary Daniels annual report re-
lated largely to his plans for navy up
building, and was so far familiar to
the public Otherwise there will be
found in it various matters of instruc-
tive interest for those who are swal-
lowing the Colonel's ridiculous charge
of such frightful mishandling of the
navy as that which caused it to de-
teriorate probably so per cent in eff
cheney during 1913 and 1914" AS
one example the secretary shows that
assertions from larger force were last
year 400 fewer than in the year before,
and 963 fewer than in the year before
that.

AS originally contemplated" said
Captain Billiard in discussing the ex.

for a coastal chain of radio stations
on this continent at practically 100
mile intervals, and a long distance
chain.

crease of reliable ranges have made
SO many shore stations useless. so a
number have been built. On the long
distance chain it has been found pos
slble to cut down some of the island
stations from high power to medium
power
I'VE are now building high power
stations at San Diego and Honolulu,
and a medium power station at Guam:
also eight high power stations in Por

From the same sources that the

who are already wire or wireless op-
orators enlist for the purpose. The
naval training stations at Newport,
Chicago and San Francisco train
young men for the duty. and we have
a system of sending some to the cleo
trical school in New York for special
training. Bright signal boys aboard
ship also show aptitude for radio work
and are given training which fits them
to become operators"
Have you any provision for a re-

Practically. yes; but it is all volun-

Wise Tariff Policy,

Industries that can compete in the
markets of the world certainly need
no protection; those that still cannot
hold their own should be set free by
degrees so that they can. Not invari,
ably, but generally, the most highly
protected industries are also the least
efficient. BY gradually removing the
tariff on their products, these will be
forced to policy of intensive inter.
nal development. Thus they will be
set free to capture the markets of
the world

The Mexican government is in

was exhausted and slept.
He was up early the next morning.
He made the old woman bring water
and bathed in his room. "It is wise, -
she said. "For many days there will
be poison in the river" Gerry did not
answer. He closed the door and went
through his ablutions and toilet with
great care His beard he had always
kept close clipped. Now he shaved it
off. The tan of his face looked like Il

newly shaved jowls and chin. He
picked out the best of his linen and

tweed suit. 1t fell naturally to the

Still the trousers were a little loose at

Gerry turned from the glass with a
sigh. He was restless. The heavy
tweeds seemed to bind his limbs and
chest, but he would not take them off.
He sat at the window and watched the
little stern-wheeler splash up to the
bank. Luckily for her, she had been
three days late in starting up the river,
else that trip would have been her last.
Gerry tried to exert himself to the
trouble Of packing and getting on
board, but he felt listless. Why should
he hurry back? Alix had waited, was
waiting, but not for him. He had not

waited for her. He must go back and
tell her, of course, but what then?
A cavalcade came down the street.
At its head was carried litter and on
the litter lay Alan. He had refused to
ride In a hammock again. Behind him
rode Lieber and Kemp. Gerry drew
back from the window and watched
them make their way down to the
little stern-wheeler. She had brought
little freight, there was none for her
to take away. By three o'clock she
gave a long shrek Of warning, and
half an hour later she warped out into
the river and chugged away down
stream. At the last moment Gerry had
sent down to Alan a note addressed to
Alix.
Lieber turned from watching the
boat out of sight. 1t was bearing Alan
away with Kemp installed as nurse
as far as the coast. Lieber stumped
heavily up the street. leading his horse.
From his window Gerry called to him.
Lieber took the reins from his arm
and handed them to boy. He climbed
to Gerry's room and sat down on the
bed. Gerry had never seen him look
so tired.

crooked. One foot was raised on a
rail. He was coatless as usual. His
unbuttoned vest stuck out behind. His
