Just Folks

REAL GLORY.

You can do a lot of clever things and
not be truly great.
You can paint a perfect picture and
still stain your soul with hate;
You can hoard up gold and silver till
your time OF life shall end
And still remain unhonored mere and
never ha,e a friend
You may live your generation through
and not become a man.
You may build a great cathedral and
still fail the Masters plan:
You may be a skillful workman ana
the topmost heights may gain,
But still if that is all you do your
life is spent in vain.
For the things which make for great
ness are not born of power and
skill,
The tyrant with his conquering
troops remains a tyrant stin,
And the sculptor with his chisel and
the poet with his pen
Must find their glory not in works
but how they lived as men

MONROE DOCTRINE
REJECTION QUER|ED
Mexico's Action, Based on
Request of Friendly Gov
ernments,' Arouses Interest

Unusual interest has been manifested
in official circles as to the iden-
tity of the governments friendly to
Mexico" that have requested the Mexi-
can, foreign office to express an opin-
ion on the recognition of the Monroe
doctrine, as announced in official dis
patches from Mexico City.
The publication of the signatories to
the league of nations covenant and
the names of those countries invited
to join the league caused officials to
wonder which countries had made in
quiries of the CarranZa government
on this matter.
1t was intimated that diplomatic
Investigations might be made to as
certain the identities of the nations
referred to in the Mexican officials
statement.

Plans Changed by War.

The keel of the giant fighter, which
is the fifth to be named Tennessee in
American history, was laid May IA.
1917, and she is expected to be COM
pleted early in 1920. She is sister
ship of the U. S. S. California. now
under construction at the Mare Island
navy yard. A peculiar feature of both
the Tennessee and the California Is
that during the war the original plans
were changed frequently in order that
the lessons learned in actual warfare
might be incorporated in them. Each
ship is said to embody the latest ideas
in battleship protection and efficiency.
The Tennessee is 624 feet over all
III length and her extreme breadth to
the outside of armor is 81 feet 81
inches. Her draft is 80 feet six inches.

Probable Identification.

= Thus. by process of elimination. the
conclusion is that if such an inquiry
were actually made it probably came
from Argentina and Chile. Both these
countries have been invited to join the
league of nations, and both have Of
ficially. expressed their approval of
the organization. The inclusion Of
the Monroe doctrine specifically in the
covenant of the league has. not
brought forth any protest from either
country.
Mexico's announcement of refusal to
recognize the Monroe doctrine. it was
stated by a high official, was made
after she had learned definitely she was
not to be invited to become a member
of the league of nations. This is also
believed to have precipitated the recall
of Alberto j. Pani as minister to
France. where he could not secure an
audience for the presentation of his
credentials. Rumors have reached
Washington that Eduardo Hay. who
was accredited to the Italian govern
fcent by Carranza and has not been
received. also has been recalled.

Did Not Break With Germany.

Officials pointed out that Argentina,
Chile, Salvador, Colombia, Paraguay
and Venezuela were the only Latin
American countries that did not break
with Germany during the war, and 1t
was said that the governments
friendly to Mexico mentioned by the
Mexican foreign Office might be among
these.
1t is possible, according to a high
official. that Costa Rica. as yet un-
recognized by the United Staes and
not invited to join the league Of. ma
tions. made the inquiry. The same au-
thority stated Salvador. as a close al
ly of Mexico, would not have made
the inquiry because her policy would
be largely dependent upon Mexico's.
Paraguay was eliminated because of
her isolated territory and lack of in
terest in the subject. 1t was pointed
out that Colombia and Venezuela
nave on a number of occasions ap-
proved the application of the Monroe
doctrine, so it is considered unlikely
they sought the information.

Speed of Twenty-one Knots.

She will have a speed of twenty-one
nots an hour and her eight water tube
boilers will develop 10000 horsepower.
Her fuel oil capacity under normal
conditions will be 1900 tons.
The armament will consist of twelve
14-inch guns, fourteen 5-inch guns.
four 6-pounders. four anti-aircraft
guns and two torpedo tubes. The
range of her guns is from twelve to
thirteen miles. The Tennessee will be
manned by 5S officers and 1924 men.
She will burn oil exclusively and will
be equipped with electric drive.

NEW YORK, April 30.-The worlds 8
most powerful battleship, the super
dreadnaught Tennessee, was success
fully launched today, sliding down the
ways at the New York navy yard at 9:45
O'Clock.
More than $4,000 persons crowded into
the navy yard today to witness the
launching of the Tennessee, a 32.00O-ton
monster which will cost $15.000,000 when
completed. The ceremonies were set
for 9:45 am, as at that time oc-
Cured the only tide in the course of
a month capable of floating the craft.
The sponsor, Miss Helen Roberts,
the sixteenyear-ol daughter of Gov:
A. H. Roberts of Tennessee, dry
state, acquiesced in the time- -honored
naval custom of breaking a bottle of
champagne over the bow as the vessel
slid down the ways. Miss Roberts
was attended by thirteen maids of
honor. Gov. Roberts and his staff and
many distinguished citizens of Tenk
nessee together with high officials of
me Navy, occupied the reserved sec
ton at the vessels bow.
