serve their country when their country
needs them.
To this end, each man will be asked
at the end of the cruise If he desires
to Join the naval reserve-that body
of men who, while having no oHlcia!
connection with the navy, stun stand
ready to be. called upon to defend their
country at sea in the event of national
need.

the department officials that nearly all
who go on the training cruise Will be Will

to lay its hand upon proficient men in
case 1t needs them in hurry.
In addition to providing pleasant
summer cruise and vacation, the naval
Plattsburg' will also enable the men
who take it to qualify for acting COM
missions in the navy during war, when
a large number of additional officers
will be needed to fill the less impor-
slant places on the second line of de-
tense.
There are many other positions which
could be suitably filled by men who
work hard during the training cruise,
and government officials expect that
the four weeks this summer, and in
the years to come, will bring to light
much naval genius which would have
otherwise been undiscovered.

cases not at all, are the trips made at
the expense of the United States gov
eminent from Washington 10 the fed
eral penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan,
by men sentenced from the criminal
courts of the Supreme Court of the
District Of Columbia
Such trip. both from the point of
prisoner and as a guard, is one never
to be forgotten. II is not such a gloomy
trip as one might suppose. and from

were being taken to a prison to serve

benefit to him and to his country at a
total cost of about IS a week
While the life of the civilians at sea
will not be unduly arduous-the regu-
lar sailors attending to the majority of
laborious details connected with the
running of a modern fghting ship-tt
will not be an existence of ease and
luxury. Each man must obey the rules

repeated infrsction of regulations and
instructions' the commanding oficer
will have the right to land the delin-
auent at the nearest American port

However, the officials connected with
the cruise anticipate little trouble on
this score. as the men who enroll for
the trip will realize fully what they
are doing and will undertake the cruise
with the intention OF getting as much
as they can out of It. 1t is this re-
ceptive state of mind which navy of.
fcers expect to yield such great profta,
upon the money which the government
is investing in the cruise.

schedule of life on shipboard which

They. in fine. want beauty with
utility. and that no universal bust

duently. stimulated by the war, they
are planning all over Europe 10
equip themselves in the languages
of their neighbors. The English are
planning to know French and Rus
sian, and, Of course, German, and
the Russian and French are taking
up English. And in Germany the
exnortation everywhere is that the
modern languages. including French,
Spanish. and English, must be stud
led more than ever and acquired.
But. above this linguistic activity
the great fact looms up that the
English language, Ions the Ian
guage OF business for the world. is
coming into its own as the language
Of diplomacy and universal com

Predicting the complete down

quent interruption of cOmmunica-
tons with Turkey, Gen. Won Falken-
hayn urged that the whole Balkan
campaign be abandoned, that the
eastern line be shortened and that
the occupied territory in France be
evacuated
The general expressed the opin-
ion that the transformation Of
German strategy into a purely de-

A Child of the Paris Streets is show
ing at the Strand today and tomorrow.
A brief resume of the story is:
In order to be revenged on the judge
of the French court, who has sentenced
her favorite son to the galleys, Nine,
Dufrane, queen of the Paris Apaches
kidnaps the judges little daughter
Julie. Julie is raised as an Apache
taught to steal and commit the other
crimes peculiar to French gangsters
But her noble blood rebels against
such nefarious work; and she tries to
run away. She is caught. however
and threatened with death by strangu-
lation unless she obeys the mandates
of the band. Again she escapes and
seeks shelter in the studio of young
American who is in the quarter Latin
studying art. He falls in love with
her, and protects her. One day she
ventures forth on the streets. and is
captured by the Apaches. But her old
nurse has seen where she is taken and
informs the judge, her father The
finish is thrilling in the extreme, and
eminently satisfying.
