THE DEFEAT OF THE
SPANISH ARMADA

The first great triumph of the nav al power of England was the defeat of the "Invincible Armada" of Spain 330 years ago today, July 29, 1888. The Armada was collected and equipped by Philip II. Of Spain, for the sub jugation of England, and consisted of 132 ships, besides caravels. The great fleet was manned by 8,766 sailors and 2,OS8 galley slaves, and carried 21,855 soldiers. There were also 150 monks headed by Martin Alarco, vicar of the Inquisition, and 1855 volunteers, noblemen, gentlemen and their ser wants. The Armada, commanded by the Duke of Medina -Sidonia, sailed from Lisbon in May, 1888, but was soon dispersed by a storm, and had to be reformed. The great fleet entered the English channel off Cornwall on July 18th. In the meantime the Eng fish fleet under Lord Charles Howard, Sir Francis Drake and Sir John flaw kins, with three armies on land, had prepared a warm reception. The Armada suffered severely in a series of engagements, and fire-ships, sent into the midst of the Spanish vessels, completed the demoralization of the Armada. Many ships were taken or sunk on July 29th, and the Armada | then beat nasty retreat, having lost 5000 men and 35 vessels.

HENRY FORD.

Henry Ford, the famous motor car manufacturer, will celebrate his EeettSS-- fifth birthday tomorrow. He has date for the United States Senate, and it is not impossible that the near future will see him a wearer of the. toga.- MT. Ford, while once an ardent peace advocate, is now wholehearted- ly in the war. Such was his en- thusiasm for peace, it will be remem- bered, that he tried to stop the war by a personal visit to the various countries of Europe. As a shrewd man of affairs, MT. Ford probably req lized, before the peace ark Oscar 1T. had covered many leagues of the ocean, that his attempt would end in failure, and that getting the boys out of the trenches before Christmas was a hopeless task. MT. Ford's attitude was simply this: Realizing the great power of advertising, and that was getting much more publicity than peace, he engineered a great adver- Using campaign to set forth the merits of peace.
 MT. Ford's employees in Detroit are probably the best paid workmen in the world, or at least they were be- | fore the war, for he cut many q luscious melon" with them. He em- parked in the automobile business some sixteen years ago with a capita, of $28,000. He now employs about | 50,000 people, and the assets of his company run into the hundreds ot millions, while his personal fortune is
 enormous. MT. Ford believes in giv- i ing everybody a chance, no matter
 what his past has been, and about
 600 of his workmen are ex-convict:
 and he declares that they are among
 the best of his employees.

TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY,

The first lodge of Free Masons in America was inaugurated at Boston 1855 years ago today. The order now has almost 2,OOO 900 members in the United States and Canada. These bodies are in full utilization with the English Grand Lodge, and also with the Masons of Scotland, Ireland, Aus tra1ia,, South America, Cuba and most of the countries of Europe, except that they have no connection with the Grand Orient of France, which is something of an anti-clericaI organ ization. In Catholic countries Free masonry is under the ban of the church and the membership is small and scattered.
