READING LAUDS
AMERICAN NAVY
AND PART IN WAR

Warning against overoptimism,
wherein Ties great danger" Lord
Reading. British ambassador to the
United States, last night declared vast
sacrifices must be made until the
victory Of a just and lasting peace has
been secured for the benent Of hu-
manity."
Addressing q gathering Of Wash
ington correspondents, officials and
members of Congress at the National
Press Club, he declared that despite
the obstacles, mistakes, and disap-
pointments, you Americans, we Brit
ish, and our heroic French and other
allies continue on our way, deter
mined that our system shall prevail
in the end. There IL no room in the
world for military despotism,
which Is a constant menace to and
is indeed directed against the rest
OF the world.
Hard Work Ahead.
But let US beware Of a false op-
timism; therein lies grave danger. The
issues are immense and the efforts must
be proportionate We must look facts
steadily in the face, neither De too
elated by a momentary victory nor de
pressed by a temporary defeat, but keep
out attention steadfastly concentrated
upon our aim, allowing nothing to de-
fleet US from our purpose, prepared to
bring all that may be necessary by way
Of sacrifice to the altar Of our common
cause. until the victory Of a Just and
lasting peace has been secured
Lands America
ITO you who are so familiar with
all that has happened in your coun-
try, I will not dwell tonight upon
the splendid services rendered to the
allied cause by the United States Of
America, at the moment when the
American navy is contributing so
largely to defeating the submarine at
tacks upon the. worlds shipping, and
at q moment when re-enforcements Of
your troops are being transported
rapidly and in increasing numbers
to take their part with the allies in the
great battles-notwithstan all the
boastings OF Germany-America at
the moment Of call from the allies re-
sponded swiftly and unhesitatingly
with troops to the utmost OF the
shipping capacity, to be used as
deemed best for the furtherance OF
the common cause with the unselfish
object OF assisting to the best Of
her ability in the emergency.
India has given proof OF her devo-
tion to the Empire by her attitude
in this time OF crisis. To speak only
OF the last 1--WE years, India has az
simulated our ideas and awakened
politically to western ideals; the eff
forts made unremfttingiy by Ger
many both before and since the
war to start disaHection in India have
met with failure. The measure of
that failure may be judged by the de-
votion with which the native rulers
and their followers rallied to the Gag
and by the contributions in men and
money made for the furtherance of
our country's cause. Perhaps the
benehcence OF British rule has never
been better demonstrated than in
Egypt and the Soudan. which has
been converted into a prosperous and
happy country.

eX-President Taft, who rousingly de-
clared for an army big enough to do

CLARENCE SMITHS | CHATTER IS COSTLY Former Pop Boy' Talks
 Too Much and Is Fined $250 By Umpire

The experience of Pitcher Clarence (Pop Boy) Smith of the Pacific Coast league was brief and disastrous and he
 probably wishes he never had gone
 back to that circuit. When the South
 ern league closed. Smith. who once was
 With San Francisco, was signed by Salt
 Lake. He pitched several games with
 indifferent success. In the game of July 12. two days before the season closed,
 Smith got into an argument with Um-
 pire Ralph Frary over the trivial mat ter of what ball should be in play.
 Frary insisted that Smith should use
 one ball, Smith insisted on using an- ether, Frary ordered the pitcher off the field. whereupon Smith threw the ball at Frary, hitting him in the face with lit and breaking his nose.
 When it came to settling up at the close of the season Smith found that he was out $250 as fine for his act, besides standing suspended. Smith
 made public apology for his act
 through the newspapers and asks that the fine be reduced. If not he may take his case before the national commits sion on a plea that the punishment in- f1icted is excessive.
