THE UNITED STATES NAVY.
(New York World.)

(New York World)
 This splendid achievement is an suspicious be- ginning" said Secretary Baker in his enthusiastic congratulations to Secretary Daniels the work of the navy in conveying the American army to France without the loss of single damage to single transport.
 It was indeed a splendid achievement and it ought to put an end to the business of rotten-eggng the United States Navy which has been carried on with malevolent persistence for more than three years.
 Begun originally political drlVe aSalnSt oec- retary Daniels it quickly assumed the form of gen eral attack upon the navy whole. Eventually millions of deuded Americans to the belief that the navy was practically worthless that it's ships junk that it's personnel incompetent and that instrument of national defense itt broken reed
 All of the responsibility for this mischievious paign does rest upon politicians and politics. Some Of it must be placed upon Rear Admiral Bradley E. Fske. who had personal grievance against Secretary and obession about the inevitable superiority of everything German. He helped to give respecta- Secretary of the Navy which has seldom been sur passed in bitterness and relentlessness in American history.
 Secretary Daniels has unquestionaby made great many mistakes He has done things that ought not o have been done if done at al might far better have been done differently but his gravest mistakes have justified any part of the campaign to dis credit the navy whole in order to discredit him Secretary.
 Josephus Daniels may be right wrong about thousand different things but the United States Navy has again proved that deserves the fullest confidence and the highest respect of the American people There better ships afloat There better officers There better Whatever happens ill this war, they will continue to give the same kind of ac- expedtonary forces France and battling down the lines of German Submarines.
 It is still the fighting navy that it was from the days of Paul Jones to Farragut and from Farragut efficient than before in it's long and brilliant his tory.

 Thus declared Baron Moncheur. head of the Belgian commission shortly after his arrival in Seattle Sunday
 To have earned the gratitude of great a people as the Belgans must remain fond memory with in us-as long history lasts. For Belgium shall ever remain synonym for bravery. unselfish devotion to honor This biggest little nation earth voun- tarily placed itself against the Prussian heel rsking everything for what? Not gain territory nor con quests of kind. but to retain its national honor. and refute the Hohenzollern principle of barbarian that might is right
 It is indeed. great to be worthy of the gratitude and respect of Belgium America may well be proud of the fact.

RULES TO AVOID FLAT FEET
Marine Corps Examining Surgeons Is
sue Some Simple Exercises and
Pointers.

MISUNDERSTANDING to the number
of otherwise splendid applicants re-
1ected from the United States Marine
corps for fiat feet, marine corps exam
lining physicians have issued the fol-
lowing simple exercises and pointers,
which If followed, they say, will rem
eddy that ailment:
During exercise at all times, turn
the toes In.
Walk with toes of each foot point
Ing to the front; in straight line, If
possible.
Stand with toes turned in; raise
body on toes, slowly, as high as pos
sible. Rest second, then with weight
Of body borne on toes, lower slowly
down to floor, and repeat.
When in the house In stocking feet,
walk on toes; heels not touching the
floor, and toes turned in.
When sitting, cross the legs, the foot
always resting on the outer side.
The wearing of broad toe shoes,
with the metal "arch supporter" abso'
lutely abandoned, also is advocated.

service by many surgeons in Portland
Operations have been performed and
special treatments provided in this
human reclamation campaign. Hos
pital authorities and physicians have
cooperated with the navy surgeons in
this work.
Scores of young men have paid their
own hospital and doctors bills to I'M
dergo necessary operations. Max
Houser federal grain commissioner and
patriot extraordinary, has paid the ex-
penses connected with 100 of these 800
operations himself.
The navy is hunting for other pa
triotic men who are willing to finance
operations on men so they can enter
the service. "The navy needs men"
said Dr. E. X. Scott, assistant surgeon,
United States navy, stationed here, to-
day to the United Press. Lack of
hospital service aids the Germans.
The northwest has sent cut millions
of dollars for various patriotic pur-
poses, and here is one that we feel
equals any of them, especially in view
of the German propaganda which is
aimed to discourage navy enlist
ments''

Sipes, X. of c. Pitcher, Defeats
Ideal Bakery Team.
Jaenicke'S Battlers Held to
Four Scattered Hits.

A large number of Topeka baseball
critics are beginning to wonder why
"Siz" Sipes. former star pitcher at st.
Mary's college. now with the knights
of COLUMBUS, is wasting his time
working for a lumber company and
plaving semi-pro ball on Sunday.
Since the opening of the season Sipes
has been the baseball sensation of
Topeka and he added further to his
laurels Sunday by defeating the Ideal
Bakery to 3 and holding his OPP
ponents to four scattered hits, the
second time he has done this in two
weeks.
Sipes was pitted against Seitz, Man
ager Jaenicke's one best bet on all
occasions, and Seitz was given much
better support, but despite the four
errors his teammates made behind
him, the eX-collegian dominated the
situation like the kaiser dominates
Austria and was never in danger of
being defeated.
Game Was Ragged.
The game was hardly up to the
brand the Brennan-Jaenicke players
usually put up, being ragged in spots,
but on the whole it was a fair exhibit
ton and was tight enough to be ex-
citing. After going two innings with
out either side makins> a score, the
Knights made their first successful as
sault on Seitz in the third frame and
put across three runs. The Ideals got
a pair of counters in this inning also.
No more scores We're made until
the sixth when the Ideals scored a
run on a passed ball and tied the
count But the Knights came back
in the seventh and eighth and put a
man across in each of these frames.
Reed, hernandez. Downs and Seitz
were the only Ideal players who got
safe hits. Navarro, Kemp, and Holm
gren each got two safe ones for the
knights and Herring, Parnell, EN-
bIeau and Wells annexed one each.
Reed. of the Ideals, got the only
extra base hit of the game.
More Good Games.
The Knights have now won one
and lost one in their enga gements
with the Ideals and they have the
same standing with the E-ks, so the
