INTE MAY leave IL to the kiddies to get
w right to the roint about things and
especially things spiritual. Sometimes
when you look into their clear, wide
eyes it seems as if they must see a
bit of Heaven in their dreams. When
these small youngsters pray they ask for
what they want without hesitation, and
they want what they want all right too,
cont they?
Ruth and Betty have a good deal to
pray about every night, and Ruth
showed considerable concern in her small
countenance recently. The "grown-ups"
had been talking about everything
going up" milk going up, coal going up,
bread, Butter and eggs going up, and
so on, with most of the necessities Of life.
Ruth worried and worried; however. bless
your heart. she said nothing. not even TO
Betty, but she decided unto herself that
the family must have some help, and
astonished her mother greatly that night
by adding to her usual prayer, "and
please, DO PLEASE, keep things from
going up because If they go up any
higher don't know what Wen do"
But Betty beat her In the manner Of
prayer and the object prayed for, when
she was a very small person. She de-
sired above all things white rabbit,
Mother always kissed her goodnight after
her prayers were said, and then stood
outside the door to make sure that Betty
mad started on the road to the Land OF
Nod. But this night the rabbit was on

the southern China provinces. They
also want China to agree to supply
Japan with iron.
The Chinese newspapers denounced
the proposed agreement as a revival Of
group five OF the much discussed
twenty one demands made by Japan
some months ago. The amount of the
proposed loan is uncertain but prob
ably would amount to several million
Iyen.
You-Lin, minister of communications,
is the object of much criticism by
certain newspapers. They charge that
the efforts to negotiate the loan Is an
attempt to give japan control OF
China's army.

lowing detailed statement regarding
the naval battle in the gulf OF Riga:
TUESDAY night an enemy OF twenty
ships penetrated the gulf of Riga and
at 9 o'clock the next morning was dis
covered making Its way thru the chan
nels south Of Moon sound. The,
squadron included two battleships OF
the Koenig type. Our detachment
under Admiral Bakhireff, who hoisted
his flag on the cruiser Bayan. and ac-
companied by the battleships Grjdanin
and Slava, steamed from the eastern
part Of Moon island to engage the
enemy, preceded by torpedo boat pa
trolls, which withdrew before the
enemy
"At 9 o'clock the enemy opened fire
on our torpedo boats and our deatch-
ment, issuing from the channel, took
up formation in radius between Wer-
der and WIDEN lighthouse near Moon
island. While approaching the enemy
the cruiser Bayan was attacked un-
successfully by hostile submarine.
At 10:30 o'clock our detachments en-
gagged the enemy squadron. The fire
of the hostile dreadnaughts was d.
rected from distance Of several yards
beyond the range Of our old type ves-
sells. /,

.sAt noon. in view OF the enemy's
superiority and the appearance of new
warships Admiral Bakhireff ordered
the detachment to retire into the in
terror of Moon sound. Our ships then
turned northward and withdrew from
the fighting.
"The battleship Slava the last Of
the line. and which had been damaged
severely under the waterline. finally
sank by the head and foundered in the
deep entrance of Moon sound. The re-
mainder Of the squadron entered this
channel Part OF the enemy squadron
began to fire on the Moon and Werder
batteries and silenced and destroyed
them. Our vessels suffered some dam
age. After shelling the batteries the
enemy entered the southern part Of the
'Kuiwast roadstead.

peatedly attempted to make their way
