DEAB ADMIRAL AKIYAMA is passing
n through the United States on mis- way
IN home 70 Toxic. He has completed q
uur Of observation over the theatre of war in
Europe. Some eleven years ago he stood upon
Il. bridge Of the Mikasa, close by his chief,
Adr-i-al Togo. and saw the far-travelled Baltic
,yusdron of Russia make for the bottom of the
Coeaa otrall.
"Hs was graduated from the Naval Academy
N 1885," says the Japan Year Book, speaking
ot the rear admiral, "and is said to have been
he most trusted adviser of Admiral Togo in
DE late war"
And, on rare and lucid occasions, even a
rear book is sometimes known to tell the truth.
And few days ago, here in New York, the
sar admiral talked TO US about the present
var in Europe, especially of its naval aspects.
Against the background of the unreasonably
Violent red plush chair in one Of the most fool
shly high priced hotels in the city, his strik
ing personality, in severe and simple attire,
stood out in sharp contrast, as impressive as
ina, Of Confucius at dinner dance. But of
lar be was utterly unconscious.
This great war in Europe, said the rear
ADMIRAL, ais staging one fact dramatically. 1t

var itself, but which is rarely brought home TO
or understanding with such convincing en-
phssis as in the present conflict. mean what
tie command Of the sea will do in a war. The
military might Of Germany-with her marvel
Ous organization, her thorough and scientific
mastery Of details, with the whole country
turned into one vast military camp-has, of
purse, proved itself tremendous thing. We
hOk upon it with srnazement. But, with almost
sgual wonder, we watch the financial power of
England and what it has accomplished.
Three elemental factors in the present war
Haad out like so many leading characters in
psy-the military might of Germany, the
money power Of England and the sea power of
England. And the greatest Of these, it seems
o ne, is the achievement Of the British navy.

naval programme somewhat lop-sided. When
the war started, in 1914, the British had thirty
four capital ships built and building, and,
against that, they had 127 cruising ships built
and building ratio of about four cruisers
to every one of the ships of the first line. AT
that the British had quite a busy time In
rounding up few German raiders and COM
merce destroyers, such as the Emden, Leipzig,
Dresden, Karlsruhe, etc. One British authority
puts the damage done by these German cruisers
in ships and cargoes captured and sunk at
5000 900 pounds sterling. In that estimate
he was not counting the cost of inflated insur-
ance and freight rates because of the presence
of the German raiders. These items would
increase the amount by S10,OOOOOO easily.
Now, the American programme would give the
American navy thirty-one effective scout cruis-
ers in 1919 built or building. That is less than
one cruiser to each one of the proposed capital
ships
The rear admiral did not say to me, either
kindly or unkindly:
I'm sorry for you. You seem to be territi-
cally worried about this American naval pro-
gramme!" But it was hard for me to get any
other message from the twinkling light con-
veyed by his eyes.

and wise in the astounding number Of super
dreadnought battleships it calls for-thirty-
three capital ships to be built and building
three years hence?' | asked.
| rather thought the rear admiral might
answer the question. He didn't, though.

the number of capital ships over the Germans
was 40 per cent, and in the combined weight
of single broadside from each of the capital
ships so per cent. Is this considered an am
ply safe margin TO maintain"

Battle of Jutland Bank. The same battle does
not appear to give US any idea it was super
huous," remarked the admiral in reply TO my
display of naval knowledge.

marine is the frailest Of fighters. Speed is
another count against the submarine. Oper-
ating opposed to armed ships the submarine is
compelled to stay under the surface, and there
its speed is sacrificed. It has no chance against
even a moderately speedy surface craft. 1t
may score heavily by accident-if the course
of surface ship happened to converge upon
its own, for instance-as they say was the case
when the Formidable was torpedoed on New
Years Day, 1915. AS defensive weapon,
however, the sub-sea craft has a distinct
place"

HIS TRIBU lie

There was an old farmer
who was widely known as the
crossest. closest and most gen.
eralally non-likable citizen in
the whole state. Like other
mean men he lived to ipe
old age, bur eventually he die d
and his friends went ahead
with plans for the funeral
Now, it is customary, in the
case otrupal funerals, for those
who attend. as they stand by
the coffin, to murmur some
eulogy OF the dead A number
of farmers came IN and said
things which didn't square at
all with the old mans life
Finally, an aged man. who
had known the deceased all his
lie, hobbled in and stood by
the coffin. The aged man was
known the most truthful
man in the county. Hence, the
other people present waited
to hea what he would say.
The old man gazed down
silently Tor while. Hep'used.
Finally he spoke.
WAL h said earnestly,
nobody kin deny that he was
a great hand for closin' his
stable door % nights

AT LAST

An editor died, and slowly
wendell his way down to where
he supposed a warm reception
awaited him. The devil met him,

thou hast borne the blame for
the bad spelling that the print
er had gotten off in the paper.
The paper has gone Tor one
dollar, and alas! the dollar has
failed to come in. The printer
has be-deviled thee for wages
when thou hadn't a farthlng to

the paper without paying for
it. and cursine thee for not get

these wrongs thou hast borne

THE COST OF SAVING
a DOLLAR

There is a fellow in this
country (you all know him
wel) who does not take his
home paper
He saves a dollar a year, in
a way, but this is what it costs
him:
He gets his news second,
third. or even fourth hand, oft :
en- weeks alter it has occurred,
always stale, a n d usually
CARRIED beyond recognition
He knows little OF the mer-
camille opportunities that are
offered in the local paper each
week, and because of the. ABB
sence OF this information he
often pays more than is neces-
sary for what he buys.
TIe knows nothing OF many
Of the important events that
are to occur until they have
passed-and it is too late.
He is never posted on city.
or county affairs, his
knowledge beng limited to
what others in their generos-
ity may choose to tell him
He is lowering on the rag
ged edge OF everything that
concerns his home community.
while his neighbors- who take
the paper are wide awak and
thoroughly conversant with To-
Cal conditions.
He sees others leading the
intellectual van, while he trails
along in their dust
He IS really a bright fellow,
but because OF h is lack of
knowledge concerning current
events he is generally regarded
as slow"
Does 1t pay him to hold onto
that money that would pay for
his home paper a year?
Apparently he thinks it does.
But what do you Think

CLEMSON WINTER EGG MASH {

1t is more than a year since the
Clemson egg mash was given to South
Carolina farmers by the poultry hus-
bandman Of Clemson college. In that
time 1t has increased steadily in popu-
larity and those who have used it
have reported the most satisfactory
results. With the approach of winter.
farmers are reminded that 1t requires
plenty Of good feed to make hens lay
In cold weather. 1t is believed that
they can find nothing better for this
purpose than the Clemson egg mash
and the formula for the mash is again
brought to their attention.
