UIen's Pictures Are Good.

G. C. Ulen of DEBORAH, Iowa, was
a welcome visitor at this newspaper
Office one day last week. He is on
the road lecturing on Norway" and
at the same time showing about
1000 feet of motion pictures depict
ing the wonders of the most beauti-
full of old world countries. Mr.. Uien
had intended to give his lecture in
Lanesboro, but the recent appear
ance here of Joakim Arneson spoiled
it for him at the present time. How
ever, he has made arrangements to
lecture in Whalan on Saturday, May
18th. AS the editor knows from
personal experience that Mr.. Ulen's
lecture and pictures are exception
ally good, his advice to the people of
that community is to turn out in
force on that evening .-Levang's

Remark Made as Joke Comes True
i'm Nineteen Years.

Nineteen years ago last Sunday in
the little town of Popejoy, Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank A. Moscrip became the
parents of a son-their only boy
and naturally it was a big event in
the Moscrip household, and of much
interest to the friends of the family.
Two days later, when Mr.. Moscrip
came down town, his friends, solicit
Gus OF the babe and its mother, in
duired how they were getting along.
1t was the very day that Admiral
Dewey won his glorious victory over
Admiral Montojo's squadron in Man
liza bay. Fired with patriotic fervor
Mr. Moscrip replied to a group of
friends that the mother was doing
nicely, but he was afraid they would
lose the boy. why, what's the mat
ter with the boy?" was the eager
question in unison. why, he's think
ing seriously of enlisting," was Mr..
Moscrip's answer.
1t was all a joke; then considered
a good one. Nineteen years later to
day Robert Moscrip enlisted in the
service of his country.

EIGHT STATIONS TO BE DiSTRIB-
UTED ALONG COASTS
Navy Experts Busy With Plans to
Provide Proper Boats to Aid in
the Task of Guarding the
LONG Stretch Of Seacoast

! Washington, March l4.-A joint ar
mynavy board is studying the Allan
tic and gulf coasts preparatory to the
establishment of an aeronautic sta
ton, which besides having two dirigi-
bles, and six or eight seaplanes each
for aerial patrol work probably will
serve as bases for the new 110-fOot
coast scout boats, OF which the navy
will order more than a hundred in
few days.
Sixteen dirigibles and a sufficient
number of seaplanes already have
been contracted for and officers and
men for the air service are being Sc
lected to be sent to the station at
Pensacola, Fla. for training A school
dirigible for the station is about ready
for delivery. The eight stations will
be distributed along the coasts to
cover strategic areas to be determined
by the board Each will require six
officers and forty men.
The only station site already def.
nitely selected is that of Coco Solo,
near Colon, Canal Zone. 70" which an
appropriation of 100000 to estab.
lish a joint aviation and submarine
base was asked of the last congress.
At present no stations for the Pa.
cific coast are being prepared, al
though the chain of coast patrol bases
will be extended along the entire
coast line as rapidly as machines can
be secured and men trained
The immediate plans require train
ing within the next four months of
fifty officers and $50 men at Pensa-
cola, in handling dirigibles Crews
for the seaplanes already are under
training, but their number will have
to be increased without delay.
In providing boats to aid in the task
of guarding the coasts, navy experts
would prefer a standard type 130-foot
steel boat for patrol and submarine
chasing work, but in the interest of
speedy construction has determined
on the 110-footers with wooden hulls,
so that builders of wooden boats can
share in the work. Later orders will
be placed for some small submarine
chasers ranging from fifty to eighty
five feet in length.

President Wilson already has taken
steps to place the nation in state of
armed neutrality, which, with the
breaking of diplomatic relations with
Germany. is practically the last meas
ure possible short of war. American
ships are being armed to defend
themselves against unlawful subma-
rine attack. The general view today
is that arming of ships is the only an
swer to submarine operations short
of a declaration of war, which may
he made only by congress.
The circumstance that the Algon-
quin carried foodstuffs, which are
contraband and that she recently was
transferred from British to American
registry, a transaction Germany
might plead she would not recognize.
are not taken to outweigh the fact
that the ship was reported destroyed
without warning Neither does the
fact that apparently no lives were lost
mitigate the situation.
