the reply.
At one o'clock they got on the
street car and went to town. Mar
tina first wanted to go to the five

Martha clapped her hands with
joy. She then bought the brightest
red neck tie on the counter Mar
tina went to the counter of hair
pins. She said, II want to get
grandma hair pin with diamonds
in it."
"All right" said her mother who
gave her ten cents. Martha got
the largest hair pin on the counter.
Now her mother said she wanted

theirs present. Albright" was the
reply. Martha saw some large bot
ties of perfume. which caught her
eye. So Martha bought large
perfume bottle for mama Mama

ready.
Martha and her mother started
up to the corner to get on the
car. But just then Martha said
"Mamay I got you something in a
bottle that smells for your Christ
mas present"
I'VE had better get on the car
than talk about Christmas pres
ents."
So they got on the car and went
home. When they got home Mar
tina tied up the Christmas gifts and
hid them under her bed. Just then
the door bell rang and Martha's
mother went to the door. Martha

thought that this must be a rock

EPISCOPAL PRAYER BOOK TO BB
CHANGED

New York, eSpt. 23.-A proposal to
omit from the prayer book Of the
Protestant Episcopal church prafers
for Jews, Turks, infdels and heretics
will be submitted to the Episcopal
triennial general convention to be held
in st. Louis In October. The proposed
changes are approved by the special
commission on the revision Of the
prayer book.
The proposal to eliminate the Jews
from Episcopal prayers is based on
the ground that it is an insult to class
them with infidels and heretics. The
purpose in striking out the Turks from
the prayers is to avoid confusing with
Mohammedans. The prayer as pro-
posed reads:
Have mercy upon all who know
the not as revealed In the gospel of
thy son."

Lansing and Baker Confer on Mexi.

Repoft.

Washington, Sept. 23.--Secretary of
state Lansing and Secretary Of War
Baker conferred to day on the Mexi-
can situation. They considered par
ticularly the newt conditions created
by the military revival of Francisco
Villa.
Both Mr.. Lansing and Mr.. Baker de-
cIined to state whether they reached
any conclusions or whether the poll
cies of this government would be
changed by appearance of the new
peril on the American border and to
Carranza's regime by Villas opera
tions as reported by Brig Gen. George
Bell, Jr., at El Paso. Ma. Gen. Scott,
chief of staff of the army, however
was frank in discussing General Bells
report. He differed decidedly from
Secretary Baker, who had 'intimated
broadly yesterday that he did not be-
lieve Bells statement Of Villas sue
cesses was correct
General Ccott declared his belief
that "yilla is alive" and General
Bells report is correct, being corrobo-
rated by other evidence and wit
nesses." He stated that General Bell
had conversed with persons who are
regarded as trustworthy, who had
come from the scene of Villas actir
ity, and who were witnesses Of the
attack upon the City Of Chihuahua.
"There is no reason why I should
doubt the correctness Of General
Bells report" General Scott said. II
shall no. send eny request to him for
vertificati,n. Lave absolute conf
dence in General Bells word"
There is considerable apprehension
in administration circles over the
Mexican situations Secretary Baker,
however, refused to say If any change
had been made IN instructions origi-

kILLEN ROCKWELL KILLED FEW

Commission to Lieutenancy
Body Recovered.

Paris, Sept. 24.-Aerial fighting in

ed yesterday morning by German
airman took place over the town of
Thanh. The body of the American
aviator fell in reconquered territory
in Alsace near the spot where Rock
, we'll shot down his first adversary
five months ago.
Rockwell was serving as volun-
teer in the Franco-American flying
corps on the Verdun front. A few
hours previous to the engagement he
had been promoted to the rank of
second lieutenant but died without
knowing of the new honor. He al
ready had received the military
medal for shooting down German
two-seater near Hartmans-Weiler-
kopf in May. He had beaten down
another before Verdun and had par
ticipated in a thrilling combat in
which nearly all the Franco-Ameri-
can fotilla was engaged with
strong German force. He was
wounded during the fight by frag-
ment of shell while engaged alone with
three adversaries.
Sergeant Rockwell was one of the
first American volunteers to join the
Foreign Legion. He was grievously
wounded in a bayonet attack at Ar
raS in May, 1915, before being trans
terred to the flying corps. He was

1t is this that makes Mr.. Hughes
the natural choice Of the large capital
lists for the office corrupt him, but
they no longer desire to use the brutal
methods in vogue in the last genera
ton. Bribery has gone out Of fash
ion. What they want now is men who
think as they do and who will do glad
ly and unscientiously what they want
done. They feel that they are MAX
Ing no mistake in preferring Mr. Hugh.
es to Mr.. Wilson. They want the legal
mind, not the human mind, to guide
the affairs Of the country, because
their interests are legal and not hum
an. He who votes for Mr.. Hughes
votes to sustain that conception Of
government which considers it the III
strument of a ruliny class, whereby
they maintain their power over the
other classes.
If Mr.. Hughes is elected we may eX-
pect q return to the "Standpat' atti-
tude. As far as possible. all the pro-
gresSive laws Of the present Admins
tratiOn will be revoked, and no laws
Of like kind will be enacted. Rural
credits, legislation in favor Of the
working class will 90 by the board :
tariffs will be increased, privilege will
be granted and the men whose minds
are upon money will Cnce more rejoice
in the opport'lnlics which are offered
to them by q grateful and compliant
nation.
In general attainment and force Of
will there Is no c0mlr.irt IN between
the two neil. Mr.. Wilson l. by far
the stronger, ADLER man OF the two
Mr.. Wilson has trained his IN Id IN
,, the study Of the science Of govern
ment; he has exercised his will in the
application Of those principles in ex-
ecutive positions; he is man OF
dauntless courage; he has staked him
self and his cause again and again
upon the issue of contest, and so far
he has won out.
Mr.. Hughes, OH the contrary, as we
have already learned, did not fight his
battle to the finish. He entered upon
conflict for the publication Of the
political life of America making the
State Administration Of New York his
battle ground. For three years he
fought fiercely and bravely and ac-
quired for himself a leadership. but
while in the midst Of the battle his
lfortitude gave away he laid down his
fweap0nyss ~ ~ . y -ii,e..csi
into security, leaving the forces that
had been under his command to shift
for themselves as best they could. Up
to this time Wilson has succeeded and
Hughes has failed, and it is the law Of
life that a man does what he did
aforetime. To Wilson the affairs Of
this country, in their present critical
state, may be safely trusted. From
what he has done we can judge what
he will do.
If Mr.. Hughes succeeds him, we are
launched upon a sea Of uncertainty,
and no man can tell in what storm the
captain will forsake the ship.

In 1904, William Bourne of England
constructed a submarine. 1t submerg-
ed, and that is all that could be said
of it. In 1777 f.Bushnell, Con-
necticutt man, invented a submarine
which was turned the American Tur-
tie. 1t was like a large clamshell IN
the center of which man sat, pro-
pelling the device forward by leg pow
er and then when it had reached an
enemy ship, boring into its sidewith
anauger projecting from the front.
This was before the day OF ironcads
or submegibe explosives.
Next in the history OF the subma-
rine comes the efforts of Robert Flu
ton, the inventor of the steamboat.
Even before Futon had sent his first
ship the Caremont,up the Hudson to
convince the Emperor Napoeon that
he coudassi sthimsef in the conquest
of Engand by the use of submarines.
In 1871 Robert Futon constructed
fort he French emperor submarine
boat which succeeded in staying un-
der water four hours and 20 minutes,
and, placing torpedo under a hulk
arranged for the purpose, blew it to
smithereens AS a reward for this,
Fulton was considered to be little
bit crazy and was allowed to return
to America construct steamboats, on
the Hudson.
The history of the submarine then
took long lapse. 1t was not until
1850 that a Bavarian by the name of
Bauer built a submarine in which the
method of control was by shifting /
weight Forward and after to dive and
arise This boat collapsed in the
harbor of Kiel on one of its TIL
trips, and remained partly bur; III
