How Navy Trains Youth.

The whole service of the United
States navy is educational. At the

ments of naval training and Of tech

on ship board. '"The American navy"
says the Secretary of the Navy, "offers
as fine an opportunity as exists to
the American youth who wishes to
win in the race of life. The vast
majority of boys In graded and high
schools study their geography out OF

"Buck Duane, do you remember
Hardin?" he asked, in scarcely audible
voice.
"Yes," replied Duane, and a fash of
insight made clear Knell's attitude.
"You met him-forced him to draw
killed him?"
"Yes."
Hardin was the best pard I wei
had"
His teeth clicked together tight, and
his lips set in a thin line.
The room grew still. Even breathing
ceased. The time for words had pass
ed. In that long moment of suspense
Knelrs body gradually ~stiffened. and
at last the quivering ceased. He
crouched. His eyes had a soul-pierc-
ing fire.
Duane watched him. He waited.
He caught the thought-the breaking
of KnelI's muscle-bound rigidity. Then
he drew.
Through the smoke of his gun he
saw two red spurts of flame. Knell's
bullets thudded into the ceiling. He
fell with a scream like a wild thing
in agony.
Duane did not see Knell die. He
watched Poggin. And Poggin, like a
stricken and astounded man, looked
down upon his PROSTATE comrade.
Fletcher ran at Duane with hands
aloft.
"Hit the trail, you liar, or you'll
hev to kill me !" he yelled.
With hands still up, he shouldered
and bodied Duane out of the room.
Duane leaped on his horse, spurred,
and plunged away.

he was capable. And he stepped back,
free of anything, with the outlaws all
before him.
Knell stood ~quivering, but his face
might have been a mask. The other
outlaws looked from him to Duane.
Jim Fletcher flung up his hands.
my Gawd, Dodge, what d you bust
in here ferT he said, plaintively, and
slowly stepped forward. His action
was that of a man true to himself.
He meant he had been sponsor for
Duane and now he would stand by
him.
Back, Fletcher !" called Duane, and
his voice made the outlaw jump.
Hold on, Dodge, an you-all, every
body" said Fletcher. LET me talk,
SEEM I'm in the wrong here"
His persuasions did not ease the
strain.
"Go ahead. Talk" said Poggin.
Fletcher turned to Duane. "Pard,
I'm takin' it on myself tibet you meet
enemies here when I swore you'd meet
friends. It's my fault. I'll stand by
you if you let me-"
"No, Jim," replied Duane.
'But what d you come fer without
the signal?" burst out Fletcher In
distress. He saw nothing but catas-
trophe in this meeting.
Jim, / amt pressin' my company

Fletcher stopped him with a raised
hand. Then he turned to Poggin with
a rude dignity.

While Fletcher toiled over his slow,
earnest persuasion Duane had his
gaze riveted upon Poggin. There was

of that thing which shone from him, he
was Of perfect build, with muscles
that swelled and rippled. bullying his
clothes, with the magnificent head and
face of the cruel, fierce, t~awny-eyed
jaguar.
Looking at this strange Poggin, in
stinctively divining his abnormal and
hideous power, Duane had for the
first time in his life the inward quak-
ing fear of a man. II was like a
cold-tongued bell ringing within him
and numbing his heart. The old
instructive firing of blood followed, but
did not drive away that fear. He
knew. He felt something here deeper
than thought could go. And he hated
Poggin.
That individual had been considering
Fletcher's appeal.
"Jim, l ante up" he said. Fan II
Phil doesn't raise us out with a big
hand-why, he'll get called, an your

Every eye shifted to Knell. He was
dead white. He laughed, and anyone
hearing hat laugh would have realized
his intense anger equally with an as

1t he had to trust to his name and a
presence he must make terrible. He
knew outlaws. He knew what quail
ties held them. He knew what to ex-
aggerate.
There was not an outlaw in sight.
The dusty horses had covered distance
that morning. As Duane dismounted
he heard loud, angry voices inside the
tavern. He removed coat and vest,
hung them over the pommel, He pack
ed two guns one belted high on the
left hip, the other one swinging low on
the right side. He neither looked nor
listened, but boldly pushed the door
and stepped inside.

every face pivoted toward him,
Knelrs pale face flashed into Duane's
swift sight then Boldt's, then Blossom
Kane's, then Panhandle Smiths, then
F~letcher's, then others that were fami-
liar, and last that Of Poggin. Though
Duane had never seen Poggin or heard
him described, he knew him. For he
saw a face that was a record of great
and evil deeds.
There was absolute silence. The
outlaws were lined back of a long
table upon which were papers, stacks
of silver coin, a bundle Of bills, and a
huge gold-mounted gun.
Are you gents lookin' for met"
asked Duane. He gave his voice all
the ringing force and power of which

When Duane swung into the wide,

knew what that meant. Luck still
favored him. If II would only hold!
But he could ask no more. The rest

War Minister JuggIes Words

AMSTERDAM, June l2.-"A great part of the French army has been beaten" Gen. von Stein, the Prussian war minister, declared in a speech to the reichstag, according to Berlin ad- vices
 'The so-called F'och reserve army no longer exists" the minister asserted.
 'The success of the crown princes carefully prepared attacks against the French and British on the Chemin des Danes front on May 27 inflicted one of the gravest defeats the entente has suffered during the entire war"
 Gen. von Stein made the statements in a review of the military situation at the second reading of the army budget in the reichstag yesterday.
 Gen. von Stein said that the number and strength of the American troops up to the present was far below what reports spread by the entente had led Germany to expect.
 Gen. won Stein said that American troops had made their first appearance on the battle front, but only at the moment when the German advance had come to a halt on the Marne.
 "They, too, like the French reserves" he declared, were thrown into the battle in vain counter attacks and suffered the same fate.''
 Other American troops, the minister said, are on quiet sections of the front.

 And there the situation remains.

 "The entente is fully conscious of the seriousness of it's position. It openly admits the melting away of it's troops and comforts it's people with having the help of America. The belief in American assistance is being syste- matically grafted into the French peo- pie to arouse them to a continued en- durance of useless bloodshed."

MODIFICATION OF
 FREIGHT RATE RULE
 M 'ADO0 ANNOUNCES
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON, June 12.-Modifica- tions of the recent freight rate in crease order, announced tonight by Director General McAdoo provide that the plan by which intrastate rates would have been cancelled when in conflict with interstate rates, shall be rescinded; that the minimum charge of S15 a car shall not apply to local switching movements nor to heavy ar ticles such as brick, sand, lumber, ore and coal: and that the increase of Is cents per 100 pounds on cotton is to apply to any quantity instead of only to carloads
 This modification removes the pro- vision of the original order which would have raised rates on many in trastate shipments on a double basis, first imposing higher interstate schea- ules where they existed for intrastate hauls, and then raising these interstate rates 25 per cent. In many southern and western states the result would have been to increase chavges several hundred per cent
 No Material Reduction The changes will not cause material reduction of receipts, but will eliminate apparent injustices to local or special traffic situations.
 The amendment issued today also provides that increases shall be inn posed only once on combination rates, made up of several local rates apply ing to a long distance. The original order specified that cotton should be carried at 15 cents advance on car. load lots, but made a 25 per cent in crease on lesser quantities. Sugar rates also have been modified to pro- vide more clearly for maintaining ex- isting differentials, disturbed by the first order.

PRESIDENT WILSON EXPLAINS POLICY
 ABOUT PUBLICITY
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

WASHINGTON, June 12-Explana- ton by President Wilson today that his call for open diplomacy, made in an address to congress last January, meant not public discussion of delicate matters. but "open. above board and explicit" publicity of completed inter- national relations, was followed by de- feat in the senate, 50 to 23, of Senator Borah's proposal for public considera- ton of treaties.
 Rejection of the Borah plan, ad- vanced as an amendment to the new rule proposed by Senator Underwood of Alabama. to limit senate debate during the war, paved the way for action tomorrow on the Underwood resolution. An agreement to vote at 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon was reached.
 President Wilson's own interpreta- tion of his open diplomacy declaration was made known in a memorandum to Secretary Lansing, read to the sen ate by Chairman Hitchcock of the foreign relations committee. The mem- orandum was written March 12, after introduction of the BOrah resolution, and was made public as a result of the argument in the senate yesterday over what the president meant.
 Parties Vote Together | Nineteen republicans and four demo- crats voted for adoption of the amend ment, while fourteen republicans joined thirty-six democrats in its re- | jection. = With the Borah amendment in the discard, attack was renewed on the | Underwood cloture rule. despite ac- | ceptance by Senator Underwood of a substitute rule offered by Senator ! Cummins to allow one hour and a hall to each senator for debate during the war on bills or resolutions and provide extension by majority vote.
 Rejection, 40 to 29, of an amendment
 by Senator Gallinger of New Hamp-
 shire to restrict clOture to the present year was regarded by the advocates of
 clOture as an indication of final adoption of the modified rule.
