CUPID ON LONG DISTANCE
So Charles w. Roth Phones to Mis- j.
 sOuri for Parents Permission to Wed LaMoine Petering.

Charles w. Roth of 1855 Fairview street, aged 20, was forced to tele- phone to HigginsvilIe, Missouri, today before he could obtain a marriage i- cense to wed Lamoine Petering, the Gireteen-years- old daughter of Mr. End Mrs. J. F. Petering of that town.
 Roth visited the town clerks office today confident that a marriage i cense would be at once forthcoming, but when the clerk learned that the bride to be is a minor, he was forced to refuse the license until word could be sent to Higginsyille. Roth proved himself to be a true lover and never hesitated a minute. With the small est loss of time he had Higginsville on the long distance and Father Pt- tering on the far end of the wire. Consent was readily obtained and the license was forthcoming.
 Miss Petering is now speeding east on an express train and is expected to arrive here this evening or early tssmOrroW morning. The ceremony will be performed by Rev Carl Roth, pastor of the German Baptist church on Elm street and father of the bridegroom. The wedding is the cul- imitation of childhood romance, which began in Higginsville, Mo.

Three Things Uncle Sam Needs. (Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary

(Rear Admiral Robert EI Peary
 Leslie's.)
 In any consideration of nationdI preparedness and defense there azS three big, broad features of vital inI portance.
 These three features pertain to orl first line of defense, the navy; to ou second line Of defense, our coasts; | our third line of defense, our militarI forces It is interesting that thed three features pertain respectively t the sea, the air and the land. The5 three important features are:
 First-A fleet of sixteen 35-knd battle cruisers, armed with 16-incl guns, eight on the Atlantic, eight oI the Pacific, with all their accessorid or destroyers, submarine and hydrd seroplanes (construction to begin al cnce and completed in three years), | put the navy of the United States f1 unquestioned second place among thI naval powers Of the world.
 Second-An air service commensura ate with our importance and sufffcienH for our protection. A department oa aeronautics, separate from and fndea pendent of both the army and thN navy, its head a member of the presi dents Cabinet, in full and undivideq| control of a comprehensive aero coas defense system, which our pecuIla
 geographical position and extendecz coast line render imperative; of sysm tenn of aviation training schools, lo1 ceted in each of the principal geo raphical divisions of the country ancN of the civil and commercial avenues of aeronautic usefulness. With oun resources and mechanical geniusS under the spur of concentrated andE undivided attention, such a depart
 1nent may in the near future be morea vital to our national safety and in- tegrity than either the navy or thez army.
 Third-A system of citizen militaryH education and training similar to theS systems of Switzerland and Australia
 which will train every young man anda abIe-bodied male in the country, yetN without making them @ permanentz burden upon the finances of tho coun- x ry or taking them from their ordi- x nary occupations or professions. Al ,ystem which, on the same percentagel if efficiency as the systems of Switzer- and and Australia, will give us 10,-z 100000 or more trained citizen soi-I Hers available, in an emergency, in 1 orty-eight hours.

 A good many persons will incline to
 believe that the attacks on bathers Which have furnished such dreadful reading lately were the work of one or
 two sharks, and if the readers are of
 the older generation their minds will
 1nstlnctively revert to a story of
 Herman Melville's which appeared Just slxty-five years ago.
 Moby Dick, or the White Whale" ,"
 was the tale of a sea monster whose 1eroclty filled the souls of seamen with awe and terror. The formidable thing apout this great cetacean was the
 cruel intelligence he displayed. He
 Tad peculiar snow-white wrinkledI 1orehead and high pyramida1 white hump. The rest of his body was so
 streaked and spotted and marbled With the same shrouded hue that, in the end, he had gained a distinctive
 appellation of the White Whale: a, name, indeed, literally justified by his vivid aspect when seen gliding at high noon through a dark blue sea, leav- ing a milky way wake of creamy foam, all spangled with golden gleam- ings.
 It was not his size, his ghostly color or his deformed lower jaw that in sptred so much fear, says Melville, "as that uneXampled, intelligent malig- n1ty Which, according to specific &C., counts, he had over and over again eVinced in his assaults" The chroni- cler adds:
 More than all, his treacherous re- treats struck more of dismav than perhaps aught else. For, when swim ming before his exulting pursuers, with every apparent symptom of alarm, he had several times been known to turn suddenly, and, bearing down upon them, either stave their boats to splinters or drive them back in consternation to their ship. His three boats stove around him, and oars and men both whirling in the cddies, one captain seizing' the line knife from his broken prov, had dashed at the whale, as an Arkansas duellist at his foe, blindly seeking with a six inch blade to reach the fathom deep life of the whale. That captain was Ahab. And then it was that, sud- denly sweeping his sickle-shap ped lower jaw beneath him, Moby Dick had reaped away Ahab's leg as a mower a blade of grass in the field"
 Melville's discursive narrative, in 1 o4 cndpleTS (SO11o only a page or so lcng), tells of Captain Ahab's mono maniac pursuit Of Moby Dick. This tragic chase aroused the superstitious horror of the crew, who saw some- thing impious in the captains mad ress for revenge. For the precise and vivid account of Whalers' work Mel vile was indebted to his own ex- perience. At twenty-twO he rounded Cape Horn or a whaler and was so hardly used that he and a companion 1 escaped to one of the MarQuesas i Islands, where, as captive of warlike | natives, Melville got the material for i his romantic novel, 'Typee.' Tho tale e the White Whale was his last TO- rrancc to contain enduring qualities; | the waters of transcendentalism closed ! over Melville's head and some Of his 1 later books are well-nigh unfathom- o b1a
