MANY SAILORS NEEDED.
No Truth In Rumor That Recruitins
once Is to BE Closed.


An erroneous impression has been gain
ing credence in the vicinity of Newport,
to the effect that the local navy station
IN this city is to enlist no more apprenticed
seamen after December /. How this false
report was started Ensign C. A. Harris
has been unable to learn, but that 1t 10 q
fact was found to be true Friday when
merchant in that place 'phoned the local
navy station to inquire the reason.
Ensign Harris said in substance FRI
day that not only would the navy require
the services Of 100000 seamen shortly after
the first Of the year to man the new
men-of-war. but that thousands Of naval
reserves are an absolute necessity to man
all American ships transporting troops and
supplies.
One apprenticed seaman was added to
the total number of recruits from this
station Friday. This man is william N.
Roberts Of Williamstown. He has been
ordered to the training station at New
port.

2. If ruler Is obliged to sacrifice his
own person for the welfare of his SUBJ
jects. he Is all the more obliged to sac
rifice treaty engagements. the continuance
of which would be harmful to his coun-
try. Is II better that nation should
perish, or that a sovereign should break
his treaty?
9. Craftsmanship can be reduced to three
principles: First. to maintain your
power and, according to circumstances.
to extend it. Second, to form an alliance
only for your own advantage. Third. to
command fear and respect even In the
most disastrous times.
L. Do not he ashamed of making inter-
ested alliances from which you can de-
rive the whole advantage. Do not make
the foolish mistake of not breaking them
when you believe your interests require
It.
5. Above all, uphold the following
maxim: To despoil your neighbors is to
| deprive them of the means Of injuring
| you.
6. When he IL about to conclude a
| treaty with some foreign power, II a

These principles are so utterly destruc-
tive of the ideals and creed of self-gov-
erning and civilized nations and SO pre-
cisely characterize the events of the pres

clined to suspect that the writing might

Reads Like Fiction.

One of the most unusual salvages
yet recorded in these days of subma'
rine warfare, says Popular Science
Monthly, is that Of the Norwegian
steamship Kongsli, whose cargo OF
grain swelled to such an extent on the
thrush of water through the ragged
hole torn in her side by torpedo, that
the hole was clogged up and the water
prevented from flowing in and sinking
her.
A party of fishermen, clambering
aboard to discover the trouble, were
amazed to find that the ragged hole on
one side and hull plates torn loose opn
the other by the force Of the explosion
had been effectively plugged by the
swollen grain. The fishermen were
afraid to attempt to tow her because
the rush of the water along her sides
might have washed away the effective
grain seal. Accordingly, they impro-
vised bales made Of cotton filled with
grain and forced these into the holes.
This made the stoppage secure enough
to enable the vessel to be towed to
nearby port.

British Army Boot.

The British army boot is made from
very stout chrome-tanned leather. 1t
is interesting to note that what Is
called the 'front.' of the boot is un'
like the average civilian boot, cut all
in one piece, right from the toe to the
heel, and scanned up at the back. The
toe contains, among other things, a
plate of hard iron, which is nailed on
underneath. On the whole, the British
Tommy has a small foot, the average
sizes being seven and eight. Compare
Mr.. Atkins foot with that of his Rus
sian brother. Here we have an aver
age of nine and ten. The upper por-
ton of the Cossack boot reaches to
within an inch or two Of the knee,
and has a buckle at the top. Its con-
struction Is very similar to the British
boot, the essential difference being the
boot is not stitched round the "welts"
as Is the British.

man, William Penn, who had the wis
dom to abolish the tariff duties that
he found hampering the trade of the
great river leading up to his noble
proprietary province, having induced
James, duke of York, to let him add
to Pennsylvania the "three lower
countries on Delaware" lost little
time in making provision for the
founding Of Dover as the county seat
of "St. Jones County," now Kent
county, for he issued warrant for
the survey of the town site IN 1888,
and eleven years later, according to
one authority, says e. N. Vallandig-

the Indian owners for the land "two

She was walking up a flight OF

AS she glanced up, painting, she
thought she saw a woman descending.
She said to herself: "Well, If I were

stairs she confronted herself.
