ROME, Aug. 1.-THE fashionable
crowd ut the cafe on the Corso Umberto
were gazing up at the huge screen ON the
building opposite. where pictures Of the
celebrities of the day-Cordona. S~onnino
J~offrc, Wilson, Lloyd-G eorge-were being
thrown on the screen. 1t is the chief di-
version these hot afternoons. Joffre wa
popular and Wilson had his admirers
Then came the picture of Il man with \
great beard. This caused tremendous
laughter. But the very climax Of demon
s~trative approval came when the picture
OF a thin-taced man with a workman's can
on his head was thrown on the screen
There was a huge ovation for this strange
face.
And who j. the man with the bcard?''
asked the American visitor.
"Wh, that j. Mafle. j. it possible Won

'And who j. the man in the workman's

from the chamber. Mafhe had an enor-

on the ear. Tordelli deftly operated a pair
OF scissors before the surprised deputy
knew what was happening. Then with a
shock Of beard in his hand Tordelli dis
appeared while Maffe was left beardless
Tordelli was arrested and his trial soon
began. All Rome became Interested, the
question of peace and war divided ,enti-
ment into two camps. When the trial
came all Italy awaited the fate of the
carpenter. He produced the beard AZ the
trial. and il was duly entered by the court

for the return of the beard. but the court
held it had been separated from him and
was now in possession Of the state. Tor

defender Of the war. while Maffe had
champions for his cause and his beard

Of all its kind in the world is the Grea
Lakes Naval Training Station hospita
school. Here, 1000 students are learning

en warfare, that of caring for sick ane
wounded.
In war, before medical science took il.
place in the field as an important part a.
any fighting unit, more deaths resulted
from disease and infection of wounds thar
from the wounds themselves. Millions OF
lives were thus sacrificed.
The "Hosapps' as the hospital appren-
tices are known here, are the high brows'
OF the enlisted men at the station. On
account OF the intensive training and
study necessary for a man to learn the
course which fits him for his work in
the short training period. only those with
good basic Quotations are accepted in the
school.
Probably half of the men are from col
leges and universities and MANY are grad
uafe physicians and registered pharma-
cists. The others are either high school
graduates or those who have finished the
greater part of their academic courses
with high grades.
Schooling of the men begins in the de-
tention camp where all recruits arriving at
the station are held for three weeks apart
from the main station. lest a new arrival
develop a communicable disease. First
AID and the rudiments of seamanship.
which every enlisted man must know. are
taught here. Once having passed through

This freshman year. Not only i full elc-

Less than a year ago the Great Lakes

increased complement of the navy To $780,
900 men, the hospital corps was CORES

Enormous Increase in
United States NAVY

ANNAPOLIS. Md. Sept. 1.-THE
remarkable development of the navy
in the last year was described by
Secretary Daniels in an address at
the naval academy today to the grad
uating ensienS Of the naval reserve
He credited President Wilson with
giving the initial impetus TO the move
ment that has resulted in a great eN.
pansion Of the service.
The graduates, one hundred and
seventy-four in number, are members
Of the corps Of reserve naval officers
who have just completed a three
months intensive course of instruc-
ton to fit them for duty aboard ship
or on shore.
The impulse that has made pos
slble our rapidly expanding navy"
declared Mr.. Daniels. came from a
speech made by President Wilson in
ST. Louis on the third day of Febru-
airy, 1916. when he declared there Is
no other navy In the world that has
to cover 30 great an area Of defense
as the American navy, and it ought,
in my Judgment. 10 be incomparably
the most adequate navy In the
world"
Following close upon the declara-
ton Of the president" continued Mr..
Daniels, congress took radical and
forward step on it's naval program. II
abandoned the plan Of 4 yearly au-
thorization OF new ships and adopted
three-year building program. Short
~ thereafter, it increa sed the naval
appropriation from an average of for
mer years Of $145.000,00 TO S312,-
$4,000. and since the first of August.
1916, has appropriated for the sup
port and increase of the navy ST.
344 1885, while estimates pending
before congress carry an addition OF
nearly 100000. The aggressive
appropriation in little more than a
year, to make effective and impreg-
nable the nations first arm Of de-
Tense is. including pending estimates,
nearly $4,000. 100000.
IL am not publishing military
secret when | say that while the in
crease in personnel in the past few
months has far surpassed the In
crease in material, there are three
times as many ships in commission
today as there were six months ago;
and that ships and more ships, from
enlarged and ever enlarging ship
yards are coming 10 afford place
on naval craft 10 the thousands Of
patriotic young men who nave
crowded into the navy since the
call"
