fERR0RS GIVEN INDIAN NAMES
Mrs. Wilson Credited With Idea That Really Has Good Deal to Be
 Said in It's Favor.

Selecting names for the many new vessels soon to slide from American ways is a task needing patience and application. IL Is one of the duties of Assistant Secretary Roosevelt of the navy department, who, though he finds | many volunteer assistants, Is always hard pressed in his pursuit of suitable names. The wife of President Wilson has now conc to h!S sid w,th . list Of | names.
 Mrs. Wilson Is a descendant of Pc. cahontas. The names she suggests may be calculated to spread terror among the enemies of America ahoat. They are taken from Indian history. When an enemy vessel sees the Sin namdhoning approaching eying4 the Stars and Stripes, the captain is likely to think one of the devils of the deep is In pursuit. If. the Slnnamahoning Is followed by the Sisladobsis and the SisladobsiS by the Skaneateles and the Shawangunk-all names conferred by the presidents wife-the enemy may well believe that the day of legendary sea terrOrs has returned. -..
 Suppose, again, that the SaCcarappa' the Sagaporack, the Tobesofka and the TonganOXie were to sail forth together Is there any power on the seas surface or beneath that would court encounter with such an OrthOgraphical onslaught! There is warwhoOp in every name. If the ShickShinny does not suggest scalping, or the Shcshequin an ambush 1t Is because one is unfamiliar with h. dian nomenclature.

WAR IS WON, SAYS
MRS. PANKHURST

Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, head Of the
British women's party. in Washington
today, expressed the fullest confidence,
first that the war is now assured OF a
completely victorious outcome for the
entente. and second that the fight of
American women for the franchise is as
good as won
Let the women forget their differ
ences, or that anybody Is opposed to
their movement" said Mrs. Pankhurst.
Their fight is won; what does 1t mat
ter. a few months or a year or two Of
tain to come. and come soon. and the
demand now is for the united effort Of
everybody to be turned to war work.
A letter just received by the Brit
ish suffrage leader warns her that
she must be back in England by Sep
tember. because the general election.
first since the war began, will take
place almost certainly in November.
There will be about 10.500, 900 men
voters, including the soldiers grown
to the ages of eighteen, and 5000, 900
women" she said. "As to the women.
they will support the win the war
of whatever party. The
Women's Party was organized with
that as its platform. as soon as the
ballot was assured to US. We are
going to support Lloyd George and
whoever is supporting him."
Mrs. Pankhurst believes and hopes
that the war will be followed by
scme sort OF entente or alliance and
is anxious that 1t shall include Brit
ain, France, and America Mrs. Pank-
hurst is not overoptimistic about an
early end of the war. To the sug-
gestion that victory might be counted
upon pretty certainly by the spring of
1920 she replied:
Don't be overconfident. The prob
lem of Russia alone is one OF many
years. during and after the war. 1t
Is still possible that we might win
the war everywhere else and yet lose
it because OF Russia"

Tall and slender, Overton was the
country's best distance track star.
He was captain of the track team at
Yale University when the call to
arms was heard, and was the first un-
dergraduate at New Haven to enlist
in the Yale battalion for duty on the
Mexican border. When the United
States finally threw in its weight
against the Hun, overton enlisted in
the marine corps; arriving in France
last March as a lieutenant.
Entering Yale in 1913, overton
flashed to the front among college
athletes in 1918. He won the indi-
viduaI cross-country championship in
1915 apd 1916, and in those two years.
running against all competitors
everywhere, he won more races than
any other athlete in training.
Overton Travelled a mile in 4:16 for
a new indoor record at Philadelphia,
and a week later went out and broke
the 1,OO0-yard mark at New York in
the National A. A. u. championships,
stepping the distance in 2:l4. clipping
l 2-5 seconds from the old record.
That was his final appearance in a
track uniform. and makes a fitting
climax to his brilliant record at Yale
University.
As a cross-country performer, Over
ton was at his best. Hill and dale
work was his delight He cared not
for wind or rain, stony paths or sod
den fields, he kept up his long-legged
gait with machine-like smoothness
and always had enough for a heart
breaking sprint at the end that
brought victory.
Lieutenant Overton is a part OF the
costly price America must pay for
liberty.

FIGHTING YANKS
INSPIRE ALLIES

How remarkably the tide OF feeling
with respect to the outcome Of the
war and the German drives shifted
in France and among other allies, and
how suddenly gloom gave way to con-
fidence, was told tocay by Congress
man c. G. DowelI OF Iowa, who has
just arrived here from a trip to the
western front. Mr.. Dowell was one Of
a party of House members who visited
France, Italy, and England.
when we first went to Paris" said
Mr.. Dowell, "there was little but
gloom. One could feel it everywhere.
1t was feared Paris would soon be un-
der the fire of German guns, and high
officials told me they regarded the
situation as grave. Hundreds OF
thousands of people, especially the
women and children, were removed,
and the men prepared to die rather
than surrender the capital OF France
to the Germans.
Yanks Proved TaIOr.
Then we went to Italy. remained
for several days, and again went to
Paris and to the American and French
lines in the Rheims-Soissons salient.
Meantime the Americans and othe-
allied forces had counter-attacked and
the Americans. by their brilliant
work at the Ourcq and elsewhere. had
smashed the Prussian guards, Bavar-
ians, and other German forces. They
had demonstrated that the crack
troops of Germany could be beaten.
Words can hardly describe the
change in sentiment which the sue
cessful operations in the Marine
region produced. Gloom gave way to
hope and confidence. Paris was a
changed city. Everywhere. l heard
the Americans praised and the French
were enthusiastic over them. Moth
ing is too good for an American SOL
dier in France.
THE defensive policy is at an end.
From now on, the allies will, l be-

lieve, keep the initiative. All the al
lied armies are inspired with a won
derful feeling OF confidence that they
are going to win and that the Ger.
mans are doomed to defeat AS the
morale and confidence of the allies
have heightened, the Germans have
lost confidence and are becoming de-
pressed.
Pershing Responsible.
'T can say without any disparage-
ment to anyone that General Per-
shing's insistence on adopting the Of
fensive has had much to do with
what has occurred.
THE war is not over by any means.
But this fact Is settled, that we are
going to win. 1t will take long and
hard fighting and we must send mil
lions more troops to France. But the
German power has passed its zenith.
1t is on the decline.
"The courage and fighting qualities
of these Americans are beyond any
W ords OF mine to describe. The zeal
and impatience OF these troops to get
into action and crush the Huns Is al.
most unbelievable. None can realize
It who has not been on the western
front. Why, wounded men in the
hospitals seem to have just one
thought. to get well enough to go
back to the fighting lines.
Not only in France, but in Italy,
found enthusiasm and confidence. In
England l found the people absolutely
confident and determined. 1t Is worth
years OF a mans life to have an on
portunity to witness the turning of
the tide, for unquestionably 1t has
turned"
Mr.. Dowell said veteran French Of
fcers praised some OF the American
regiments as the finest they had ever
seen. He saw much OF the Rainbow
division and the Second division OF
marines. and said their f1ghting quail
ties were so superb as to draw en-
expressions of admiration
from old-time French military men.

In winning nine straight victories,
the big league record for the season to
date, Burleigh Crimes has placed
himself among the leading pitchers in
baseball. To make his feat all the
more worthy OF note, this is but his
second year in fast company, and he
is backed by a second division ball
club.
Grimes was with Pittsburgh last
year, being traded during the winter.
He had done nothing worth while for
the Pirates, but the surroundings at
Brooklyn seemed to suit him, and he
began pitching high class ball from
the beginning. Now he looks like one
of the half-dozen best Fingers in the
olu league.
