WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The
entire program of national defense
became a subject of mediation today
The navy bill was in conference with
the mooted question of battle cruis-

argument before a decision can be
reached.
The army bill, with its appropria-
tious of $313,970,447.1 also is TO go

And il is conceded in official circles
that the task of recOnciling the di-
fenences all along the line to secure

warned by the house leaders that
they resent his espousal OF the sem
ate navy plans and he viii have to

fashion if he is to get the program
made effective on which he desires
to appeal to the country in the COM

Senate RewrOte Measure.
The defense budget, as it now
stands. including the fortihcations
appropriations of $25,74S,O50 already
a law. totals 6S5,343,O17.27. The
navy total is 1915, ,S43.55, but,
while the senate raised the amount
only some forty millions in the ag-
gregate, il practically rewrote the
entire measure and this is the chief
cause Of complaint among the house
members. They are claiming that
the senate has been "duped" by the
navy into planning a program that
benefits the naval clique" rather
than the general service.
The first meeting of the conferees
on the naval bill was held today. 1t
was preliminary in character and it
was not believed that any real Sc
rious effort TO reconcile these differ
ences would be attempted until af-
ter the general outlook had been
thorough ly canvassed. 1t was made
very plain by Sen. Tillman that the
senate conferees are prepared TO
stick out to the very last for battle-
ships as well as battle cruisers.
Wilson is Confident.

confident that the house Will accept

THE SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS

Occasionally some play strikes
note that rings out clear and true IN
the midst of the commonplace and
impresses it's auditor with the
thought that it was written not for
gain, not for past time, but because
some man had something to say to
other men and he took this means OF
expression.

Harold Bell Wright's dramatlzatlon
Of his novel of the same name, IS
this kind of play Mr.. Wright had
fit within his soul the peace and
beanty of the hills and he wished to
81 down their meaning before him.
He made play that in plot is COM
nelling, one that never fails in SIN
cerity. The people who move in it
are 50 human that the auditor will
pick them out for like and dislike as
if he really knows them.
There is the Shepherd the man
who came to the hills to learn, and
remained there to teach; Old Matt,
who cherished the memory OF a
wrong that could never be rlghted !;
Young Matt. Hercules of the hills
country, whose strength of heart and
soul equaled the strength Of his
body; Sammy Lane, bright and
bouyant with the youth Of the hill
country. and the other quaint char
acters that enliven the play with hu-
NOR.
The scene Of the play is in the
hiyh hills Of the Ozark mountains.
The mists of the valleys, the glories
of the sunset, the magnificent vistas
from the SUBMITS have been brought
ont by the wonderful ingenuity Of
the scenic artist and electrician's
craft It is the spirit Of the land that
Mr.. Wright has caught that makes
the play one that is unique and one

TRAINED AGE WINS
OVER UNSEASONED YOUTH

Santo Domingo, October-ln a
test Of endurance, conducted by
Lieutenant Kingston Of the United
States Marine in Haiti to determine
the staying powers of his men, one
hundred and eighteen men, ranging
in age from nineteen to fifty-two
and carrying the regulation field
equipment. were given the test of
ascending steep mountain path,
approximately eight miles within a
two-hour limit.
Eighty-four men accomplished the
feat in the prescribed time, and of
those, 20 per cent were veterns OF
forty-four years and over. The aver
age age Of those who succeeded was
twenty-nine years. while the percen-
tage Of the tender foot recruits
among the losers reduced their aver
age to twenty-four years.
This experiment strengthens the
theory of many that trained middle
age rivals unseasoned youths.
