NAMES FOR WARSHIPS.
National Peeullaritles Displayed In
 Choice of VssseIs' TitIes.

One of the ways nationahtes have of displaying their peculiarities is ln the naming of their battleships. The United States, systematic and business like. goes to work and uses up all the names of its states to paint on the sides of its greyhounds of the sea.
 Great Britain, self appointed mistress of the waves, does not propose to have that majesty challenged. So she goes ahead and defies the world with such hair raising names as Revenge, Indom- itable, Infexible, Inyincible, Implaca- ble, Indefatlgable, Victorious, Glory, Vengeance, Valiant Conqueror Mon arch, Thunderer, Colossus, Hercules, Jupiter, Mars, Caesar, Hannibal, Lion. Tiger, and so on.
 Germany adheres to names of places places in the fatherland, of course thus proclaiming the characteristic na- tional love of the home country.
 France, full of love for freedom and the things which make for human hap piness, finds her most characteristic  warship names In words which trans lated would be Truth, Justice, Democ- racy, Republic.
 Italy, adorer of her great men in statesmanship, war, science and the arts, names war boats after Columbus, Julius Caesar Andrea Doria, COnte al Cavour, Leonardo da VinCi and Dante AlighlerL
 To be convinced that these customs of christening are peculiarly national one needs only to shuttle some of these names. Imagine us in America stand ing for a battleship named Indefatga- ble! Or imagine the name of Sweet est Shakespeare" emblazoned on the brow of one of England's glowering fortresses of the sea!-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

GRADES IN PRISON.
Sorting the ConVicto In the KanSao
 State Penitentlary,

State FenlEenkRTy'
 Every prisoner who enters the Kan sas state penltentiary at Lansing, Kan, Is started as a first grade prisoner, but some become second graders within a few minutes after their arrival. When they are put in the second grade class they are deprived of all privileges and have to remain in their cells and work sll the time. If a prisoner stays a second grader until the expiration of his sentence he probably loses all the good time allowed him.
 There are three common methods of punishment at Lansing. One is the deprive" form, in which the prisoner isn't allowed any real Sunday dinner. It is imposed for slight insubordina- ton, such as impudence and swearing.
 The second Is Flock and deprive" whereby the inmate Is locked up In his cell except at meal times. It Is imposed upon men who refuse to do the work assigned them.
 The third is the jail" The 'jall' is large, NeulLutCu LOOLl, Oul IHS OHiJ thing that can be seen from it Is the sky. Prisoners who steal from other inmates, lie, fight or commit other se- rious offenSes are sent there. The prison physician calls on the prisoners in "jail" daily, and the guards bring them food. The offenders have to stay In the room all the time.
 When the prisoners repent and re deem themselves they are restored as first graders" and allowed all the privileges agaIn.-Kansas City Star.

SOUTHERN
lCbristiap Science MonitOr)

Christian Science MOnitor)
 There is much evidence in Italy, today, of g growing S.sire to bring about g better feling, and to re- move suspicion as betwene the Ital- lau and the southern Slav. Little mere tku year ago, what was terme' the DaImatian question was un aud down Italy. and by Italians ia Usuer countries. Italy's claims To at least a substantial share of Du:uati. iu the event of a victory D~'matia, in event ot a victory for tLe Allies, were vigorously pressed, .ua the claims of the southern SlaT as yislrousIy decried. There aI- ways existed in Italy, however, a party ot moderation; Q party which recognized that the great questions ,f t ever came up for settlement, could net be settled otherwise than oy comLromise. This party urge t.ar tLe mater be debated calmly 1.o:g the broadest possible point of view. It contended that the jus. claims of the Southern Slay, sa suJl matters as all outlet for his lraH- on the Adriatic should Jr ts.rl, and fully considered.
 This marty has, jt would seem, been steadily gaining ground, aud only quite recently, the Italian Mmis.-:. of State, Signor Bissoiati, t3oK occasion to declare, through Ia. Paris lIatin. that the policy e Italy was one of reproachment win France on the one hand and he southern Slay on the other. h. fear is sometimes expressed ab. pad, he said, that Italy will nn- recognize the aspirations oI the southern SlaYs, but the Italian race has suffered to much from op- pressiou itself to wish to opDress auyhrdy. We will not act in such way as to cause the formation of au irveGeurist movement against ourselves. We have g great and clearly defined task to perform on the eastern side of the Adriatlc, and eat Ot it will be thrown op- en LO the door of commerce to the southeri Slay, and place him in communication with the West. Italy seeks to be known in the Balkans as an educatin factor, and not as domluatiu power.
 Those who are best acquaint- ed with the position in Europe, bot b. fore and since the outbreak or rEc crescent war, are least inclined to attempt any anticipation as to how matters will shape themselves .crriroriaIIy or otherwise, on the aorclusion of peace. There is, how ever, it can scarcely be doubted, value in considering and giving prominence to such professions or policy as those ust indicated. The formation of a strong public opin- iop in favor of certain righteous views, whatever the outcome, can not fail of good result. That the sr dthern slay should have access +o +bc sna and should have an op- portunity of living at peace with his n.ighbors, is a proposition that VIII aDDeaI to many as only common justice, in whatever way it is view ed.

SHARP RISE IN NEW
ORLEANS IS REPORTED

New Orleans, Aug Almost IN
precedented July deterioration of the
cotton crop, as indicated by today's
condition figures from the department
of agriculture, caused a sharp rise
in future contracts in this market. Al
though the trade looked for bullish
returns, the figures for nearly all of
the cotton growing states were lower
than expected.
incidentally after the report was
read new crop months bu1ged 10 to
q points, or 81 a bale. The improve
ment was checked by heavy realizing
of recent buyers. At the best of the
morning trading months were Is to 19
points over yesterdays and % to Is
points up from the low level estab-
lished before dof the bureau figures
were issued.

New York, Aug. IA sensation
ally rapid advance of about SITS per

the official condition of 72.3 per cent

a canvass of local exchange members
indicated an average expectation of
76.5 per cent and the government re-
port was also far below the most

Prices had shown a tendency to
ease off during the early trading as a

EASTERN CLUBS ARE
FAR IN THE LEAD AS
PENNANT WINNERS
RY Assoc1ATEp PRESS.

Z
New York, August IA National
League baseball fan with a mathe-
NAUTICAL twist has figured out that
since 1876 eastern clubs have won
twenty-five pennants and western
clubs fifteen. Accordh9E % his fig
ures the grand average of eastern
pennant winning percentages is .667,
while that of the western clubs is .705.
The highest among eastern clubs was
made by Providence in 1884, with
.750, and the lowest by Philadelphia,
last season, when the Phillies won
the pennant with .592. Among the
western clubs Chicago's average OF
1913 in 1880, is high, and Detroit's
.637, in 1887, low.
He also points out that, with one
exception, eastern and western clubs
have won pennants in groups of two
three or five years, as follows: 1877
10, east; 18S0-82, west; 1883-84, east
1857, west; 1888-1900, east; 1901
03, west; 1904-05 east; 1906-10, west
1911-15, east.
In view of the fact that with on
exception there has never been {
winning sectional stretch of NOR
than five years, he rather expects t,
see western club come through an,
win the 1916 pennant with driving
finish. He is willing to concede
however, that if this occurs, the win
ner will fall considerably below tn
average of winning western clubs il
the past.

Peter B. Kyne's humanity inspiring
story, ''The Three Godfathers," orig

Bluebird Photoplays and win be the
attraction at the Isis theatre tornor-
row with a splendid company of
camera-actors depicting its gripping
scenes. Harry Carey, George Berrell
and Frank Lanning viii impersonate
the three men who found themselves,
suddenly and unexpectedly, with a
newly born babe in their keeping. The
fact that they were in the middle of
the Mojave Desert, almost over
whelmed by the effects of a sand
storm, made all the more difficult
their task of untutored and unbidden
paternalism. When the narrative was
originally published Editor Horace
Lorimer said it was the best story
ever printed in the Post. With such
human interest as its basis one may
readily believe that "The Three God
fathers" will result in a proportion
ately good photoplay. This picture
