Got Good Advice.

A millionaire kid recently decided tc
20 to work and accepted position In
the office Of his father, who is the pres
fdent Of railroad running into New
York. The young man had an obs;es
sion that opportunity selects it's favor
ties from wealthy candidates, but the
clerks in the Office thought otherwise.
In fact, they made it so disagreeable
for the youngster that he appealed to
his father. When he heard the true
story he lectured his son thusly: This
corporation which employs you has a
chairman who started in life as boot.
black. The first vice president was
born on farm. worked his way
through college, and incidentally took
care of HIS invalid mother and father.
These men had no wealthy conpec-
tions, but they never side-stepped hard
work, and If you take my advice you
won't either. You cannot drift along
and get ahead. Be friendly with your
associates in the Office" The dif,ident
youth saw new light and is now in
line for promotion.

Famoue Fencing Masters.

Metternich says. in his Memories
that he was sent to Strasbourg in the
summer Of 1888, and that he had the
same fencing master as Bonaparte
who had just left the school. This
fencing master, a NJ. Justet. called ON
Metternich when he was passing
through Strasbourg, in 1906. and re.
marked that 1t was funny thing that
he should have given Metternich fen..
ing lessons shortly after having given
some to Napoleon. II hope" nc added,
that my pupils, the emperor of the
French aid the Austrian amba ssado OF
In Paris, will not think Of fighting
each otier!" An old Almanac d'Alsace
also witnesses to the fact that there
was. in that year, a fencing master
of the name Of Justet living in Stras-
bourg.

EIGHT THOUSAND
ON CASUALTY LIST.
Department Gives Totals for Over
seas Forces.

washington, June 16-Seven hun
dred and seventy casualties reported
among the American expeditionary
forces during the week ending today
brought the total since American
troops first landed in France nearly
year ago to 8,O85.
The second weekly summary OF
casualties issued today by the war re-
partment shows the total number OF
deaths from all causes is 3,192,
while 4,547 men have been wounded
in action and 346 are missing in ac-
tion, including all men held prison
ers in Germany.
The summary, which includes to-
days list follows:
Killed in action Gncluding 291 al
sea), 1,172.
Died of wounds, 364.
Died of disease, 1894.
Died of accident and other causes,
422.
Wounded in action, 4,547.
Missing in action Gncluding pris-
onersD 346.
Total casualties reported to date
8.O85.
With more than 100000 soldiers
sent over seas, officials pointed to
the small number, 291. lost through
operation of German submarines as
showing the effectiveness of the
convoy system. The men lost were
on the torpedoed British steamers
ITuscania and Moldavia.
The comparatively small n-.uer
OF men dying from wounds is point
ed to as indicating the efficiency OF
the ambulance and hospital systems
while the fact that only 1884 men
have died of disease is accepted as
proof Of the excellent physical condi-
ton of Americas fighting men.
Another satisfying consideration is
that of the wounded men a very high
percentage returned to duty at the
front in less than six weeks.

HIloCKADE NOT PROBABLE.
England Docs Not Think German

with Overseas Traffic.


marine activity off the Atlantic coast
Of the United States should not be
taken very seriously as the Germans
probably will not attempt a blockade
Of the American shores. This is the
opinion of Vice Admiral Sir Rosslyn
Wemyss, first sea lord of the Brit
ish admiralty. The admiral believes
that there is only one submarine op-
Grating and that the purpose of its
trip was to frighten the Americans.
German ruthlessness at sea, the
first sea lord declared. must be met
by centralized warfare in the North
Sea and the Mediterranean.
Admiral Wemyss paid tribute to
the cooperation Of the American ma
val forces in European waters. He
said the American ships not only
were stationed in the North but were
also operating in the Mediterranean
and off Gibraltar.
In an interview given to Archibald
8. Hurd, the British naval writer,
the admiral said:
This development should not be
taken very seriously. If I were in
clined to bet. should say there has
not been more than one submarine
off the American coast. I may be
wrong but that is the impression
have formed. That conclusion fits III
with my Interpretation OF the enemys
object.
1.-THE Germans cannot hope to gain
anything in the character of a block
ade. The distance is too great from
their bases.
1.-THE enemy has merely made a
demonstration with the hope of caus-
ing us to decentralize our ef-
forts to put down the submarine. His
object is to frighten the american
people in the hope that they may ex-
ert their influence on their naval au-
thorities.
You will remember that Napoleon
declared that "exclusiveness of pur-
pose Is the secret of great success
and Of great operations" now, II the
Germans could cause a disposal of
naval forces this demonstration off
the American coast would achieve
its purpose.
II hold firmly to two principles.
no Chicl VI Tic SldIt i OeilcNe IlTully
in decentralization in administration
but also believe as firmly In the
Capitalization of effort against the
enemy. I think it was Admiral Ma
han. who said that the greaat end
OF war fleet is not to chase nor to
fly. but to control the seas.
"Now with that statement in mind
glance at an ordinary school atlas.
Any submarine to reach the Ameri-
can coast has to pass either to the
north or south of the British Isles
or along the Mediterranean where
Gibraltar stands sentinel over the
narrow exit
That atlas is illuminating. It
indicates sound strategic methods of
dealing with the submarine cam
paign. We must fight the U-boat
In the narrow seas. In other words
we must centralize concentration all
our forces in what is really the deci-
sive areas.
The Germans. to be sure, have
been studying the charts and in

marine cruisers to the American
