DECEIVING THE PUBLIC.
To the Secretary of the Navy.

In the Scientific American of Dec
ember 20, 1918, we made known the
very gratifying fact that, with the
elimination of the German navy, the
United States moved up to second
place. We showed also that because
u allies lost many of their capital
ships and stopped work, during the
war, upon those they were building,
our navy is 80 strong a second that
1t is equal in dreadnaught strength
to the next three navies, those Of
Japan, France and Italy, combined.
Our investigation showed that the
United States possesses 10 dread
noughts, Japan 8, France Z and Italy
5. We found also that, because of
the superior gun power. armor pro-
lection, and displacement of our yes
sells, our 10 ships were fully a match
for the 81 ships Of the three lowers
enumerated.
Our total OF 10 completed United
States dreadnoughts was based on a
recent statement OF the Chief Con-
s%tructor to a Congressional Com
mittee that we possessed that num-
Der. AS a matter of fact, the Idaho
is completed but has not yet had her
trials; and the California" and
Tennessee" are nearing completion
and will be finished by the summer.
1t is fairly certain that all three ships
will be ready for service by the time
the Peace Plenipotentiaries have az
fixed their signatures at Versailles.
We are addressing this open letter
to you, sir, because we feel that you
owe it to Congress and the American
people to explain why you presented
to the House Naval Affairs Commit
tee, and allowed to be published in
the New York Times, the misleading
statement OF the naval strength oil
the Allies which appeared in the issue
of that journal of December 81. 1913
In the table presented, which we an.
alyze OF another page, you group th'
completed capital ships under thre'
heads, viz, Battleships, Older Battle
ships, and Obsolete Battleships; and
because under the first heading
"Battleships," you assign 16 to tn,

Idaho's Proposed New Primary Election Law.

left to the central committees.
County OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of
the county's member of the state CEN
trail committee and the delegates to
the state convention is the important
duty of the county convention. The
formulating of a county platform is
made a matter of option.
State Conventions-The average
vote principle is again made use of in
determining the number of delegates
each county may send to the state con-
vention. Totals of the entire party
tote cast for all candidates having
been compiled, and a division made
to reach a mean, the unit employed
is 400. In Ada county last November,
for example, the average vote was
about 5000. Application of the pro-
posed rule would make Ada's conven-
ton delegation one of 10 members.
Necessity for the holding of a state
platform convention is eliminated in
the Nelson-Nash bill, as the Single
gathering planned will function both
as a nominating and platform making
body. In the selection of prospective
representatives in congress the terri
torial limits of the respective congress
sional districts will govern. The state
convention is made sole judge of ir-
Irregularities in the county primaries.
Who Can Vote-Only bona fide
members of the parties represented
are entitled to vote at the primaries.
| Votes may be challenged on the
/ ground that they were not cast by ac-
tual adherents of the party affected.
Nomination by Petttion-Indepen-
dent tickets are made possible in a
provision which authorizes nomina-
tions by the circulations of petitions,
The word independent" and nothing
more will designate candidates who
are named by the signature route.
Campaign Expenses-Candidates are
limited to personal expenditures, sub
stantially the same as the present
law.
Delegates Expenses Paid-Provisior
is made for the payment to county
delegates at state conventions of the
actual amount expended by them fol-
railroad fare. The appropriation pro
posed for this is $500.

FORMER KAISER'S FATE
INTERESTS THE DUTCH
People Widely Differ as TO What
Should BE Done With the Former
Emperor.

Opinion as to what should be done
with William Hohenzollern, formerly
German emperor, is very much di-
vided in Holland, even in the ex-
IRENE southeastern corner of the pro-
vince of Utrecht, where is situated
the castle of Amerongen, Hohenzol-
lern's temporary abode. Here the
rural population contentedly lives
under the rule of the gentry who have
owned the land around for genera
tons. An opportunity to observe the
division of sentiment was afforded
the Associated Press correspondent
when he sought lodgings for the night
in a small village hotel. Seated
about the office were half a dozen
villagers.
After the stranger had been eyed
awhile with the furtive suspicion of
the rustic towards the townsman, talk
drifted back to its former channel
H~ohenzollern. What do people here
think of him?" the correspondent
asked.
Think of him? He should be
clapped in jail, and hanged" raped

That's what l think of him"
Nay, neighbor," expostulated a fat,
complacent man, who looked like a
prosperous cattle dealer oozing with
! war profits. ale doR't deserve all

tleman, 'he always gave thanks to
the Almighty. He always praised
God. You can see IL In the papers.
And that's a fit and proper thing TO

and ii wasn't his fault alone that all
them people we're killed. What do
you say, landlord?"
AYE, that may be true said the
landlord automatically. HE had his
faults, / daresay. But / dc say tits a

head.
"Pshaw!" said the sharp-faced
man. "You bet, he lacks for nothing

MEETING In INTEREST OF
EMERGENCY HOSPITAL
Money Needed TO Open DUPONT Hos
pital For The Use of Fighting In
tiuenZa And Pneumonia.

A meeting to make plans for rails
ing money for the opening of the du-
Pont Hospital, as an emergency hos
pital, to aid in suppressing influenza
and pneumonia, was held yesterday
morning at Zion NJ. +. Church The
meeting was called to order by Rev.
J. T. Gould, Mrs. Jas. w. McCready
being elected chairman.
DR.. B. w. Goldsborough was pres
ent and spoke on the Importance of
having an institution of this kind at
this time, and the Importance of rails
ing the money Immediately. He sta
ted further that every available inch
of space in the hospital would be
utilized for the sick, during the cpl
demic, and with the help of Miss
Bradbury, who will be in charge, and
five or six volunteer nurses, the in
stitution will be able to accommo-
date fifty patients at a time. The
hospital will be under the direction
of the MISUNDERSTANDING Hospital
and any doctor in Dorchester county
may bring patients there for treat
ment.
1t was decided that the best way
to raise the necessary $4,000, to be
used to buy cots, supplies and fix
lures for the hospital was to can
vass the town.

An Appeal For The
Emergency Hospital

To the People of Dorchester Co..
1t has been deemed expedient for
the DUPONT Hospital to be opened at
once to help fight the dreadful cpl
demic of influenza, which is now
sweeping our country. Miss Brad
bury has consented to become super
the assistance of about six volunteer
nurses, who will be paid while in
training, fifty persons can be cared
for at a time. This will be a far
more satisfactory way of nursing the
sick than for whole families to be
afflicted with no one to care for tlem
but outsiders. s----------
Twenty deaths occurred in Dor
chester county yesterday as the re-
suit of influenza. Is it not time
something is being done? And what
ever is done must be accomplished
Immediately.
have been appointed chairman,
and commencing at $50 o'clock to-
morrow morning I will call by tele-
phone every person it is possible for
me to reach in Cambridge In the
meantime 1 will appoint chairman
in every district of the county, and
insist that he do the same thing. Per
sons called upon will be expected to
have their checks in the hands Of
MI. Joseph H. Sauerhoff by Thurs
day night. Later on committees will
be appointed to visit everyone, so
that no one need feel that he will be
excused from sharing his part of the
responsibility IN opening this Ener-
gency Hospital, which will later be-
come a permanent affair, and will be
run in the interest of the movement
for which it was built.
The sum of $4,000 is needed i'm
mediately. This is no small amount
and we do not expect the people to
give meagerly. There is enough
wealth in the county to open and
maintain this institution, and it can
be done if the people will lay aside
personal feelings and open their poe
textbooks. The Emergency Hospital
is to be place of refuge from the
scourge which is sweeping over us,
and I appeal, with my whole heart,
and with all the earnestness at my
command, to the people of Dorches-
ter, of every creed and denomina-
ton, of all races and kinds, to rich
and poor. to do all they can to stay
the Angel of Death.

SACRIFICED HER LIFE
IN INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC
Nurse From Baltimore Went to Hoop
er's Island to Render Service And
Lost Her Life in Doing SO.

One of the saddest of the many
community recently was that of
Miss Melvina Diffenderfer. daughter
of the late Robert E. and Annie E.
Diffenderfer, of Relay, Md, who died
at the Cambridg Hospital
this morning, following an illness of
several days, with pneumonia, fol-
lowing an attack of influenza, which
she contracted while nursing at Hoop
er's Island.
When the distressing outbreak of
influenza occurred at Hooper's Is
land, and the local branch of the
American Red Cross took hold of
the situation. Miss Diffenderfer re-
sponded to the call, although she
was sick at the time, and her near
est relatives advised against her leav
ing home until she was restored to
health, but she overcame their OBJ
jections by stating that she believed
it to be her duty to go to the relief
of the stricken people.
She went to IIooper's Island at
once and rendered heroic service dur
ing the time she was there. She was
brought to the Cambridge Hospital
last Wednesday night, having then
been i'll for at least two days, and
right up to the last minute before
leaving Hooper's Island she reques-
ted that she be permitted to con-
tinue her work, as she felt certain
that she would feel much better the
next -sasar,r----
She was given every possible at
tention at the Hospital, but despite
all that physicians and nursing
could do for her, her system was so
run down through her work and
through the overtaxing of her siren
9Th that she succumbed to the dis
ease.
The example she set was q truly
noble one, for while she sacrificed
her life, not in seeking worldly
wealth, but in rendering service to
those who needed it, her memory
will live long in the haerts and in
| the dearest recollections of those
who benefited by her ministrations.

ROYALS WIN FROM
ROANOKE BOWLERS
Take Four Out of Five Games
of Duckpins-TotaIs Are
1883 to 2,747.

Last. night the Royals came back
into their own as a real aggregation
of duckpin rollers and trounced the
all-star Palace five from Roanoke,
Va, in four out of five games and by
a margin of more than 100 pins in the
totals. And it took mighty good roll
ing for the Royals to get their vic
tory, rolling far better than the aver
age. In their first game Halley's quint
got count of 564 in the second top
pied 623 pins and followed those two
counts with 593, 527 and SIS. Roa-
noke's totals for five games were
544. 545. SAB, 561 and 554, which was
remarkably consistent bowling and
good enough to defeat almost any
team in an ordinary match.
Ray Chaplin of the Royals got the
highest game score. counting 152 in
the last of his five contests. Eddie
Howser rolled a game of 141. Chapin's
high game also gave him high set, his
total being sos. Howser rolled sos.
Earl Lewis also broke in with a
mighty good count his total being
$50.
The match was one of the best that
has ever been rolled between local
and visiting club and the scores them
selves attest how well the men on
both teams performed their parts.

TRIPLE EVENT FOR TURF
Kentucky Tracks Make It Possible
for Champion Horse to Win
100000.

NEW YORK, March 25.-There have
been double events galore on the
turf. most famous of which are the
Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire, but
the Kentucky Jockey Club is going
to go them all one better and have a
triple event next season.
The races are the Lexington derby
of $4,000 added at one mile and a
furlong, which has been run as the
spring trial stakes; the Kentucky
derby at one mile and a quarter,
which will have an added money
value of $4,000 next season. and the
Latonia derby of $4,000 added, the
only one at the real derby distance,
one mile and a half.
The Kentucky Jockey Club will
give an additional $1,000 to the horse
that wins both the Lexington and
Kentucky derbies, $4,000 to the
three-year that wins the Ken
lucky and the Latonia and $4,000
over and above all other moneys to
the colt or filly that wins all three.
AS the races always have been
worth more to the winner than the
added money, the premiums can
easily bring the sum close to s100.=
900.
