KBOATS SCORED -FOUR TARGETS

in the heaviest wind and toughest

many anxious moments, wondering
whether the target and pickup boats
were in the trough Of the sea 81 under
the waves. In spite OF the unfayorable
point the run began. ...-.
"The first indication We had of
where the submarines were was a
masthead light, whirl of water and
the wake Of a torpedo under the
target In about three minutes

The score Is not published but we all
know what would have happened to u

reasonably sure that there Is no other
submarine division who made better
record than We did.
All the credit for hits belongs to
the submarine crews. but the tenders

was just as necessary as making q
torpedo run. We had to have steam,
We had to eat. and. while there Is
nothing spectacular in shoveling coal

did his part and the results were
achieved :@-.-s
The pickup crews are TO be COM
mended for their honest efforts
throughout the practise. Although two
torpedoes, out of about fifty shots
fired, were lost. nothing that the
pickup boats could have done would
have saved them. No pickup boats
ever handled a nigE> practise better,
in both lack of confusion and speed
of recovery.
In view of the high scores and
spectacular runs, the means to the
end are lost sight Of but those who

One Of the navy experts said today
that when torpedo is exploded its

effect of the torpedo is, therefore, in
exact proportion to the non-fexibility

proposed type of the California can
not be sunk by the explosion of one
or even more torpedoes.

U. S. Army Officer Who Went
After Mexican Raiders Is
Now Too Old to Fight

Many army officers of Oahu who
knew him well will be interested at
learning that the official life of gal
liant old warrior of the U. s. army
expired July 26. when by reason of the
fact that on that date he was ga years
old, Brig.-G Gen. George A. Dodd, the
commander of the cavalry brigade of
the punitive expedition into Mexico
last spring, was retired from active
service. In the ordinary routine Of
military affairs Gen. Dodd would have
been retired with the rank of colonel.
Only few weeks ago, by order of the
president, the higher rank of briga-
dier-general was conferred upon him
in recognition of his distinguished
services in Mexico, particularly his
cavalry dash at Guerrero last March,
when he went into successful action
against superior force of bandits
after ride of So miles in II hours.
In the forty years Of his ervice in
the regulars, "Dare.Deyil'' Dodd, as he

Here is a fair sample of what the

tossed about by the waves of the
North Pacific, and NAL de mer was
the lot of almost every COB on the
boat, to say nothing of the commits
stoned officers.
This cruise was of greater benefit
to the members of the Oregon mill
tia than any in the past, on account
of the fact that there were only SIS
regular navy men on board, and the
citizen sailors were required to work
the ship.
Only one day was spent in Sitka.

A MODEL COMMUNITY.

Up in the mountains of Tennessee
high on the Cumberland table lands
lies the little town of Clifty. 1t is Just
a little mining town, peopled by a har.
dy, industrious set of people, but it is
showing to the world how neighbOrs
and friends may dwell together in
unity.
We have said that it is a mining
town, but it is more; that the people
are hardy and Industrious, but they are
more; they have the true community
spirit-they are real neighbors.
This little town has conceived and
put int force some community plans
that might well be copied by other
towns. OF course almost every family
in the town owns and cultivates its
own garden and truck" patches, but
this is not all A few years ago the
mine superintendent, man Of consid-
cradle learning and Of a progressive
spirit, conceived the plan Of having all
the citizens Of the town own and cul-
tiyate small tract Of land in common
Five or six acres were first bought
and cultivated as community farm.
The result was a pronounced success
and each year thereafter the town adj
ded to its holdings until this past sea-
son it had about one hundred acres

THE ENGLISH SPARROW

The League of American Sportsmen
whose object is the preservation Of
wild life, is considering the question Of
inaugurating a nation wide campaign
for the determination of the English
sparrow. Its officers say this bird has
made such Roadway here that it is
driving out the smaller song and in
sectivorous birds, and that it has be-
come question of whether we shall
have only the English sparrow to rep
resent our bird life or destroy it and
regain some 80 species of useful and
beautiful birds that used to inhabit
cities, farms and countryside all over
the land
The league intends to ask the gov
ernor Of each state to issue a procla-
nation declaring war on the English
sparrow and setting aside a week,
possibly in April or May Of next year,
to be devoted especially to destroying
nests Of this pernicious pest Printed
instructions as to the plan of the cam
paign will be sent to the mayors of all
Incorporated cities and villages, to the
heads Of the school systems in every
county, to college presidents, to princi-
pals Of preparatory schools, to the
heads of the Boy Scouts in each state,
and to other organizations which might

under cultivation on the community
plan, and the people announce then
intention of branching out further.
Now there would be nothing out Of
the common in this if the experiment
had not developed some gratifying re-
suits.
First, they discovered that instead
of fifteen or twenty families (about
the number interested in the "com-
munity,,) each having to own and
maintain a team. three or four teams
were amply sufficient.
Again they discovered that instead
of fifteen or twenty sets of agricul-
tural implements being needed, only
three or four of each kind were neces-
sary, and of some only one-a great
saving, all must admit. Each stock
holder bears his pro rata share of ex-
pense and furnishes his pro rata
amount of labor.
Briefly the plan has proven such a
success that the community now has
its own silo, blooded hogs and cattle,
and last year their exhibits led all
o-hers at their county fair.
But these are not all of the results.
The close business association neccs-
sary in the successful working out of
the plans has developed a spirit of
community brotherhood that is pleas
ure to witness, In this little town is
exemplified typical brotherhood of
man. The welfare and comfort of
the most humble is as carefully locked
after as that of the most wealthy,
They have splendid school, church,
Sunday school, and recently a commo-
dious club house has been erected that
is proving a power for good to both
young men and older ones.
We have briefly sketched the results
of this community plan of cooperation
as showing what a true community
spirit will accomplish. Many features
of interest have necessarily been n" t.
ted from this article for lack Of space.
But should any other community desire
to know more Of their workings, let
ter addressed to the postmaster will
receive prompt and courteous answer
ard full information will be given Of
plans that can not fail to Iareft any

A QUESTION OF CITIZENSHIP.
Just at this time the question of neu-

IT, c-llaimiag- pluch attssI - -. ~
sle mater % Che attitude IT our goN
9moa toward tho raaing nations
.l the ald world is one o.. deep concern.
And owing TO The fact that our govern
ment has to settle some knotty irter-
national disputes arising from the war
a rather mixed condition of affairs
is prevailing in this country,
The disputes with Germany and with
England have developed a pro-German
and an anti-German element, pro-
British and an anti-British. We are
told that we must concede every claim
of Germany or lose the sympathy of
the German-Americans. We are also
told that we must conciliate Britain or
ALLEVIATE large Anglo-American ele-
ment.
Now the thought that naturally oc-
ours to the patriotic American is:
What is the attitude of these various
elements toward our government? Are
they American citizens or aliens?
That is question to be settled.
If this pro-German or pro- British
element with whose vengeance we are
threatened are aliens-not American
citizens-then their likes and dislikes
are of small concern to us. If they
do not like our attitude, let them go
back to their own country.
If, on the other hand, they are
American citizens, then another and
very large question arises. Are they
citizens for revenue only-holding cit
,senship for the material good to be
derived therefrom while their hearts
and affections are with the old coun-
try Then the sooner they come out in
the open, the better for this country.
Are they here to Gull the sweets of the
land and refuse to take the bitter? Is
it their intention to enjoy the protec-
ton Of our laws and our institutions
while their hearts are with those who
may at any day become our enemies a.?
To the man who has crossed the wa
tiers to cast his lot in America, citi-
zenship should be the most priceless
of his possessions-is so to the man
who is worthy Of it. He should be as
the bride who leaves her fathers
house to cast her lot with her chosen
mate-for good or i'll.
The man who takes citizenship
should do so for good or i'll. One SEN
tinent and only one should fire the
heart of every American citizen, ma
