Fifty Years in Navy.

Admiral Won Tirpitz last year cele-
Jrated his fftieth anniversary in the
German navy. He has always been a
strong believer in keeping Germany's
navy in q high state of efficiency. and
is declared to have always favored the
pressing of Germany's submarine war
fare. Several times since the outbreak
OF the war Admiral Won Tirpitz has
been reported at odds with Chancellor
Won Bethmann- Hollweg and even with
Emperor william
IL his position of head of the ad-
miralty Tirpitz would brook no
opposition. and he has fought many
political battles in the carrying out of
his plans for the betterment of Ger
nany's naval policy. Won Tirpitz be-
came naval cadet i'll 1865. Four years
later he was made a lieutenant. and at
twenty five Years of age held the com
mission of lieutenant commander. He
was appointed commander of the kiel
naval station in 1891. and SIX years
later he was made minister OF marine
In November Of last year il was re-
ported that Admiral Won Capele had

No Chance of Success.

1t may be said, however. that no
sharpening Of the submarine warfare
may be expected. and that efforts which
have been made to have the submarine
warfare extended TO neutral shipping
bound 70 and from enemy ports have
no chance OF success.
A semi-official statement issued here
says:
The Withdraw wal of Admiral Won Tir
pitz from the naval ministry takes
place with all honors. His resignation
is generally regretted in view of his
great services in making of the German
fleet the highly valuable Instrument
which it has proved to be during the
course of the war. The choice shown
iu the selection of his successor is a
guarantee that with regard to methods
of naval warfare no change will take
place Admiral Won Capelle worked
with Admiral Won Tirpitz and his as
sumption OF office means that there
viii be no alteration in the naval pol
icy of the late minister. The sub
marine warfare will be prosecuted on
the lines outlined in the recent mem

He was brought to this city and lodg-
ed at the affiliated colleges on Sept. 4,
1911. After months of patient effort
Professor Waterman was able to talk
with Ishi. What he learned from the
captive left no doubt in his mind that
lshi really was the last of the savage
tribe of Deer Creek.
Ishi adapted himself TO the ways Of
the white man. He built himself n
home on the grounds Of the affiliated
colleges, where he was the object Of
much curiosity. He attended lectures
by Professor Waterman and other sa-
wants of the State university.
In May. 1914, Ishi took Or. A. l..

the quantity furnished each prisoner
