ADMIRAL DEWEY DEAD.

~ ~ " .
hero of the battle of Manila Bay
and veteran of the Civil War, the
foremost naval officer of the
United States, and by priority OF
grade, the ranking naval officer
of the world, died at his home
Tuesday. The naval hero
went to his death quietly, his
hand clasped in that of his de-
voted wife, who had been at his
bedside throughout his fatal Ill
ness. which began week ago.
Admiral George Dewey, hero
of Manila Bay" fought and won
the first great American naval
battle against a foreign foe since
the War of 1872.
His whole life was full of hon
orable achievement from the
days of the Civil War down to
the time when, as the head of
the General Board, he began the
last chapter Of his work by lay
ing plans for the defense Of his
country in time of war. His life
was a striking exemplifcation of
the possibilities of a career based
upon the exact and intelligent
performance of every routine
duty which molds a man on in
flexible lines of duty and honor.
One of the curious freaks OF
fortune in Dewey's case was that
for perhaps the first and only
time in his naval career he was
disposed to protest against the
edicts of the Navy Department
which carried him into the Far
East, where he was destined to
perform the greatest feat of his
life and to win imperishable re-
nown. That was back in 1893,
when the war clouds were gath
ering, and Dewey felt that he
was being "shelved;" that the
war with Spain was to be fought
out in the Gulf Of Mexico and in
the Caribbean Sea, and that he,
distant by half the circumference
of the globe, would stand no
chance of winning glory, for at
that moment no thought what
ever had been given to the Phil
ippines. But he took his orders
and, like a true sailor, obeyed
them. The result is a page of
history under date of May 1, 1898.
Contrary to Spanish expecta-
tions. Dewey sailed into Manila
Bay on the night of April 30 and
in the morning of the next day
he annihilated Admiral Montojo's
squadron, destroying II warships
and capturing all other vessels
and all the land batteries with
out the loss OF man on the
American side.
Upon his triumphant return to
the United States he was feted
by the nation. His admirers
presented him with a beautiful
home in the national capital.
Congress gave him an engraved
sword, and raised him from the
rank of commodore to rear
admiral and then to the full rank
of admira in the Navy.
Admiral Dewey was the third
American to reach that pinnacle
of naval rank. Farragut was
the first and Porter the second.
1t was under Farragut that
Dewey received his first baptism
in war.

Total receipts during the year
from all sources were $11, $685.
to which was added a
balance of 1923, 7O8. 46, which
was in the treasury proper on
October l, 1915.
Disbursements during the
fiscal year were Sill, 172, 673. SO,
with a cash balance in the treas
ury, proper, of $1,624, 095. %,
and balance in the dedicated
funds account of 1885, 259.09, or
a total cash balance in banks OF
81, $50, 354.32.
At the end of the last fiscal
year the gross debt of the State
was S26, 285, 8SO.55, but against
this the State has holding in the
sinking fund and the mortgage
of the Northern Central Railway
totaling $3.50, 266. SO, which
brings the net indebtedness of
the State down to SIT, 1859, 613. Sc.
A strong feature of the condi-
ton of the treasury is that for
the $500, 900 three per cent. loan
of 1902, which natures on July l
of this year, there is S648, 426. 76
in State bonds and cash in the
sinking fund to insure the retir-
ing of the loan.

THE ANSWER

The action of the German
American National Alliance in
Philadelphia, where representa-
tives of 8, 900, 900 German-Amerl-
cans went on record as supporting
the President in rupturing diplo-
matte relations with Germany,
was precisely what was to be ex-
pected, says the Baltimore News.
Resolutions were adopted offer
ing to raise regiments of Ger
man-Americans in the event OF
war and to turn over all funds
raised or to be raised for the
German Red Cross. That deeds
will follow words if need arises
there is not the slightest reason
to doubt. The most rabid anti
German could ask no more.
Throughout the country the
same story is told. Paper after
paper comes to The News ex-
change table with accounts of
similar gatherings, though on a
smaller scale, of German-Ameri-
cans, at which devotion to the
country, of their adoption is ex-
pressed, recognition to its full
claim on their loyalty now and
to their services in the future is
avowed and determination is set
forth to show that the German
American is second to none in
responding to the country's call.
In this crisis it is we'll to note
these occurrences. We have been
called a polyglot nation in which
principles of allegiance to the
national will are not properly
taught. Pessimism has painted
a sorry picture of the plight we
would be in in time of national
peril of divided sentiment, of
citizens Of every nationality
placing the country of their
birth or their extraction ahead
of the country of their residence.
But while such fearsome old
wives, tales furnished occasion
for dispute and argument, in
times of peace, it makes every
true American Jingle with pride
and satisfaction to see how,
when the threat of war comes,
men from every cline who have
found here a refuge and home
stand up and acclaim readiness
to return in full measure of de.
votion the welcome and the pro.
lection they have found under
the Stars and Stripes.

STATES TREASURY IN GOOD
CONDITION

Reports of the receipts and ex-
penditures of "a State boards,
commissions and institutions for
the fiscal year ending September
30. last, and which are included
in the annual report of State
Comptroller Hugh A. McMullen,
form an important feature of the
document. These reports were
submitted to the Comptroller as
a result of his request made on
November 1, last, and similar
reports will probably be an insti-
tuition in the future.
The report, which was sent to
the Governor several weeks ago
and released last Friday, shows
the full financial transactions of
the State for the fiscal year end
ing September 80, last, and the
figures demonstrated that there
is no danger of a deficit in the
treasury during the next fiscal
year.

FOR A CITIZEN ARMY.

Two great principles are en-
bodied in the bill providing for
universal military training which
has been favorably reported to
the Senate by the Committee on
Military Affairs. 1t establishes
the obligation of the American
citizen to serve the Republic for
national defense and prepares
him in youth for that honorable
service. In it's application to all
who are physically qualified,
whether rich or poor, except
those Who have relatives depend
ent upon their earnings, it is a
model of democratic equality.
There is to be no escape by use
of money or appeal to favor.
Events abroad may at any
hour call for an American upris-
ing en- maSse, as a result of
which we shall have military.
training Of the sternest charact-
er. If, happily, we shall escape
that ordeal, the least that we
can do for the future in the way
of self-instruction, self-discipline
and self-preservation is to accept
and act upon the very moderate
program now proposed. New

BENEFITS OF FARM LOAN ACT
Ways In Which the New System Aids
Farmer In Financing His Business.

ways IN Whicn the new system Aus
Farmer In Financing His Business.
By reason of the facilities created
by the Federal Farm Loan Act, which
was passed last summer, it will be
easier in the future for farmer to
secure money to make needed improve
ments or for the purchase of live stock,
and it will be easier also for the land
less man to purchase a farm, accord
ing to a recent publication of the De
partment of Agriculture Farmers
Bulletin 1922 entitled How the Fed
eral Farm Loan Act Benefits the
Farmer"
The Federal land banks established
under this act will stand ready at all
times, it is expected, to lend money
to farmers on farm-mortgage security.
The interest charges will be not more
than 6 per cent, nor more than l per
cent above the rate paid on the bonds
sold by the banks. If AZ per cent
bonds should be issued, therefore, the
rate charged on loans would be 81
per cent or less. There will be no
commissions or bonuses. The loans
will be made for periods of time rang
ing from to 40 years, thus doing
away with the trouble and expense of
frequent renewals.
The payment of a certain part of
the principal annually or semiannually,
with the interest, will be required.
The total payment, including the inter-
est, will be the same for each year,
and will be just large enough so that
the entire principal will be paid off at
the end of the period. The annual pay
ment thus required to pay off loan
of 81 900. with interest at 8 per cent,
in &c years, is $S0.24.

VICTORY GIVEN WILSON

The reelection Of Woodrow
Wilson and Thomas R. Marshall

proclaimed Wednesday for the
term beginning March 4 next
when the House and the Senate,
sitting in joint session of Con-

electoral votes cast by the 48
States and declared the result of
the Presidential election held in
November to be-what every
body knows-that Wilson and
Marshall received 277 and Hugh

votes. r.,
So far as the official canvas of

Early Matching Brings Winter Eggs. !.

+, Early Matching is the secret of winter
egg product on, say specialists in the
q. S. Department of Agriculture. The
pullet that is Matched early natures
early and is ready to lay eggs in the fall
when the supply is scarcest and prices
highest Chickens that are expected
to be revenue producers for their own
ers lster in the year should be out of
their shells by April 80 at the latest. If
they are properly cared for thereafter
they will begin to lay eggs at the very
time that eggs are most wanted.
To q gaeat extent the poultrymen Of
the country have overlooked this simple
fact: For one thing, birds Matched
later in the spring or summer are not
inclined to become broody until tate
the following season and thus an un
profitable circle is formed. Each year
pullets mature too late to produce in
the fall and winter, and they sit too late
for their offspr-ngs to do any better.
The poultryman who wishes to get
really good returns from his flock must
break this circle.
The growing use OF incubators has
made this comparatively easier. There
is no reason why incubators should not
be filed in March and early April and
the Matching over before May l. If no
incubator is available in may be posi-
BILE to secure broody hens in the neigh
borhood. That they will repay the
trouble and expenses necessary to OBJ
tain them. is indicated by results at the
government poultry farm in Maryland
There it 10 no. unusual to get a daily
average Of one egg for every five hens
throughout the fall and winter, and in
some pens the average mas been as high
as one egg from three birds. If any
think like this percentage could be OBJ
tanned on farms, the ordinary poultry
farmer would derive real benefit from
the high prices which eggs invariably
bring for period Of several m onths.
