so-cALnED AMERICAN sEAMEN.

Up to the first of June, fable sea- men, have been certified to the num- Der of 2O.67s. under the La Toilette law recurring such certihcation after rigid examination for the deck depart ment on American vessels of 100 gross tons or over, except those navigating rivers exclusively, or the small inland lakes and on fishing or whaling ves- sells, or yachts.
 A report of the steamboat inspection service shows the nationalities of these qualified American seamen. The Amer ican born number 6,3O2; natura1ized, |2.165. The remaining 12,0O0 or so are both of foreign birth and foreign nationality. Included in the native Americans are Hawaiians-f1rst=Fate sailor material, employed largely on the Pacific side-and Porto Ricans- Probably, few of the old New Eng land breed are in this census, though there are many of them in our fishing fleet.
 The Norwegians, of course, are the most numerous among the alien A B's -271S of them. Russians or F'in0ss Swedes, British, and Germans follow in order 1000 certificates each. But, practically every country on earth is represented There are 22 Turks. 10 Roumanfans, and 8, severally, Ser bians, Montenegrins and Bulgarians. More strange is the showing of Swiss sailors, 39 of them. They perhaps acquired their sea strain from a French or Italian ancestry.
 In our maritime industry thus the cosmopolitan character of the nation is reflected. Men who follow the sea are apt to be international, anyway. partaking of a spirit of fellowship un- known to shore people. The deep blue is a great disso1ver of hyphens.- Providence Journal.

TRADING is HELD IN
BY NEW WAR ISSUES

NEW YORK, July 5-The New
York Evening suns financial review
said:
Aside from the few specialties, when
stocks displayed any animation at all
today they moved through a circle OF
narrow diameter. The Mexican situ-
alton, with all its uncertainties, the
new emergency war revenue measure
and the pre-holiday influences form
ed a combination well calculated to
hold the trading in restraint, and this
was further accentuated by the very
meager attendance of brokers on the
floor of the exchange and Of custom
ers in the offices
Heaviness in munitlon stocks and
industrial specialties, like Crucible
steel, Baldwin Locomotive Industrial
Alcohol, Studebaker corporation and
Maxwell Motors, was the feature OF
IN otherwise dali and uninteresting
opening. AS the session progressed,
railway shares, under the leadership
OF Union Pacific and Southern Rail
way, deyolved a better tone. while the
munitions stocks continued under
pressure. Early losses were not eX-
tended, and in the later trading a
farmer tendency developed. The rally
was particularly marked in the issues
which had been subjected to pressure
at the outset and clearly suggested coy-
erng as an inlpelling force.

ATHENA WINS GAME
FROM FREEWATER BY
SCORE OF z TO Is
BALLGAME At PARK YESTERDAY
DEVELOPED INTO HlT-TIIE-
PILL AFFAIR.

The ballgame provided for Pendle-
tor g Fourth of July crowd yesterday
afternoon wasn't much Of a ballgame
from one point Of judgment and was
very much Of one from another. Both
the Athena and Freewater teams
bruised the poor pellet without mercy
but the Athenans had the greater en-
durance and succeeded in circling the
bases 22 times while the fruit plckers
were making the circuit 10.
From the very first frame, when
Freewater chased over three men,
the game was a hit-the-pill affair and
everybody was doing it. Pat Hender-
son( Whitman college captain, started
twirlng for Athena but in the first
and third was toucned up So hard
that Shick was sent TO the slab Shick
Jared better at times and at times he
Jared worse but toward the end struck
his stride
Crimmins went to the mound in the
beginning for Freewater but was mas
sacred in three innings. Brill then
took up the JOB and, while he was re-
tring one man in the fourth, nine
men scored. ThereIpon Duff began
putting them over and he, too, was
pounded hard
Home runs were as plentiful as
firecrackers, both sides being heavy
with the stick For Athena Morgan,
Peterson, Lieualen and Franz were
the heavy hitters, while on the other
side ReniCk and several others broke
into the heavy-hit column often.
BY the end of the fifth inning 49,
scores had been made and the crowd,
sensing an all night session, had dwin-
died from 10000 to a few hundred.
However the teams settled down a
ltttle thereafter and managed to fin
ish by the meal hour.
Jim Coz umpired and did a salts
iacory job owing to the fact that
the demolished automobiles were left
in center field, there was considerable
Interference by the centerfielders and
this fact was partly responsible for
the many hits.
