lard and carried him to the platform.

tache?" repeated Miss Mayo.
Five cents" came from a spend
thrift in the crowd. 1T ought to

Mayo. Il have counted them;

Little by little the bids increased.
At this moment a Broadwayite, di-
rect from heavy dinner, entered
the room.

knocked down to him.
Then Hazard was held while the
gtraggling hairs were removed by a

forthwith he plucked one.
Irwin Cobb tells the following
story on the writer OF these little
chronicles In the current issue OF the
Saturday Evening Post:
a certain New York correspondent
used to be city editor Of newspaper
In Cincinnati. One OF the star re-
/ porters on the paper was pale
young man OF studious mIen who
held himself aloof from the rest OF
the stan. He wore flowing tie and
horn-rtmmed glasses. and between
assignments revealed in the pages
Of Shavian plays and Iheen tales.
He was sent one night by the city
editor to cover a big musical festival.
and 1t resulted in his warming up to
the stan the next morning for the
irst time since he had been on the
paper.
Floating into the Office as il watt
ed by a gentle breeze. he eddied up
to the copy desk and said:
Boys. I'm positively drunk with
rythm!"

NOT ENOUGH
MEN TO MAN
BATTLESH|PS
Efforts Of Officers to Get Re-
CruitS with Pastors Prove
a Failure.

NORFOLK, Va. June 2G.-Uncle
Sam is finding II difficult matter to
secure recruits for warships. In fact,
1t is no secret that number Of bat
tlcBhips and other naval vessels which
have been in service for several
years have been placed in half com
mission with skeleton crews so that
the larger and nawer ships could
have sufficient men TO fIl out their
compliments.
Among the ships placed in half COM
miBSion-ship6 that are considered in
first class coudltlon-are the Louisl-
ana. New Hampshire. Kansas, Yer.
mont and Virginia, Four years ago
these ships were considered among
the best In the navy. Had recruits
come forward az fast as expected,
these ships would have unquestionably
remained in full. active service.
The battleships Vermont, Louisiana
and New Hampshire remained at this
port for several weeks trying 10 get
enough recruits 10 make up their full
crew complement. The Vermont was
here for several months. and besides
receiving recruits sent from other
places. her officers set upon a new
method Of advertising to men 10 en-
list. All these efforts were without
avail. however. The Vermont was
unable to accompany the Atlantic
fleet to Cuba because 1t did not have
sufficient men to make up its crew
complement. The New Hampshire was
similarly handicapped The Vermont
remained so long in port that It's
men termed It the navy yard cruis-

MASS MEETING
Was Held In Maryland Theatre,
Oakland, Last Night.

Last night at the Maryland Theatre
in Oakland splendid audience, con-
sidering the state of weather then pre-
yailing. greeted DR.. Joseph Irwin
France, Republican candidate for the
United States Senate; Frederick N.
Zihlman. candidate for Congress from
the Sixth District, and Hon. Willis
l.. Moore, former chief of the
United States Weather Bureau, when
these three gifted gentlemen addressed
those who had assembled upon the is
sues of the present campaign, all of
them delivering telling blows upon their
opponents and the present Democratic
administration.
The meeting was not only attended
by the town people but many farmers
and residents of towns located in other
parts of the county were present to
hear, and from the applause following
and interrupting the remarks of the
speakers it was evident that Garrett
county is still true to the principles of
the party of Lincoln and Grant.
Mr.. Fred A. Thayer, of Oakland, pre-
sided and very happily introduced the
speakers. the first of whom was Mr..
Zihlman, who for an hour entertained
an enthusiastic audience. He is quite
popular in Garrett county and as he ap-
peared upon the stage of the theatre he
received an ovation. Mr. Zihlman's re-
marks were delivered with deliberation
that stamped them as coming from a
man honest in his convictions and i'm
bued with the purpose to serve the peo-
pie we'll should he be elected to the of.
flee he seeks. His talk was mainly up
on the tariff issue and the claim made
by the Democrats that Wilson has kept
US out of war.
The address of DR.. France followed
that of Mr. Zihlman and was upon and
along the lines of national issues as was
also that of DR.. Moore, who followed
him. DR.. France is becoming well
known in Garrett county and at the
meeting last night it was evident that
he made many friends.
Among those upon the platform dur
ing the speaking were Senator Speicher,
former Senator Brown, County Chair
man Peddicord. Committeeman Dewitt
and Weltzell, W. A. Smith and others.
Music for the occasion was furnished
by the Aurora Band

CHARLES E. HUGHES cannot get so
far away from Washington that the men
in charge of the chariot of government
there do not feel the jolting of his
criticisms. In fact, the Democratic
leaders at the capital city show symp-
toms of sea-sickness from the way in
which the ex-Justice of the Supreme
Court has shaken them up. Mr..
Hughes is pursuing the only proper
method, which is first to take the dead
wood out of the way so that the path to
righteous and propitious government
may be made clear.

Mr.. WILSON'S WARS.

President Wilson is running on the
platform ''he kept US out of war"
This claim is based on a half truth,
pettifogging bubble, 1t is true that
since Mr.. Wilson has been in office
Congress has not formally declared war
against any foreign nation. But the
President has, on his own initiative re-
peatedly engaged in war, without cali
ing it war. In two instances when he
seized Vera Cruz in 1914 and again
when he invaded Chihuahua in 1870.
Congress gave an ex-rost facto ap-
prevail to his military expeditions and
authorized him to employ the armed
forces of the United States on foreign
soil. Those who say that Mr.. Wilson
kept US out of war" haggle over
definitions. Mr.. Wilson has four times
prosecuted Dy force in foreign territory
what he considered the rights of the
United States-once in Hayti, once in
the Dominican republic, and twice in
Mexico.
