The navy of 1914, according to Pol len. was largely the work of Jellicoe himself. It looks indeed as if Eng land had trusted her Admiralty lex perts'' to give in return for the enor- nous sum spent on the navy the best that brains could devise, and those experts were caught mapping. It l. not the first time. In the eighteenth century. for instance. the English al lowed the French to so far beyond them in tho art of naval signaliing and 1t was chiefly due to the clumss signal methods of the English tha they lost the battle of the vtrginix. Capes, in 17s1. and with 1t America. The moral of these revelations 1f two-fold: frst, that Britain should oontrive to get . more progressive type of officers into the Admiralty, and second. that 1t should create 2 better naison between tho navy ana the nation that ia paying for 1t and depending on 1t for the nlatntenance of its libertips.

SILVER MARKET FREE.

The United States government has reIinquished control over exports and prices of silver, with the result that there was a runaway market for few days, with sales as high as $1.19 3-4 per ounce, the highest in thirty years after which a decline occurred to $1.06 with later recovery to $1.1o Ia.
 The Treasury has completed the sales which t undertook to make to the British government under the PIttman act, and does not at present contemplate further sales, although it may supply it's own needs for sub sidiary coinage by further melting of dollars. The demand for Asia has ceased fer the moment, but purchase for Europe and South America have been taking current o6sr3ngA The course of silver depends upon India and China, especially the former- The Indian Treasury reserves at this time amount to about 2t per cent, of the outstanding note circulation, and as the erop-moving season is now about over that government may abstain from puFehases fer . time, Indian croBs for the last season have been short, and the trade balance is not so heavily in fsvof of the country as In previous years.

THE MORAL OF UPLAND.
William O. Stevens In the July Yale
 Review,

William o. Stevens In the July Yale
 Review.
 The battle of Jutland, according to Je1ltcoe, showed that the Germans had better type of armor-piercing shell, better armored ships. better system of director firing, better range finding methods and devices, better searchIights, better understanding devices and "star shell"-unknown to the British-but invaluable for fighting at night. Apparently Jelli- coe's purpose in making these aston ishing admissions is to justify tho fact that the Grand Elect did not accom- piish more. For some of these de- fects he charges the reluctance of Parliament to appropriate more money. and Admiral F'isi<e. in a re- cent review. accordingly transfers tho entire blame to the "paoihsts" of Par dament. But one can imagine an M. F. calling this explanation "a bit thick" When was the nation in- formed of all these amazing definien- cies in it's navy, Who was respon- sfbie for the defective armor that sent the "Indefatisabie." Queen Mary and s'Invincibie" to the bottom with such tragic suddenness7 Who had. accepted the inferior type of shell, the inferier fire control, the in fsrior metheds of depieyment-and a4 the reNt-efvtna DsglAud te ms 'Ae4peeal Aak tAe1o Ne14 na eeo1o14

government has been supplying the Federal Reserve Bank of New York with rupee exchange at 35.13 cents to the rupee. which has been available to American merchants having to make remittances to that country. Now this fund is no longer available and as the Indian government does not permit silver to be imported into India by private parties, and the United States government does not allow gold to be exported from this country, the facilities for rupee re- mittances are very limited. Prae- tically nothing is doing at present ai- though a few have been made through London at about 46 cents,
 Our need for rupee exchange is. in payment for burlap, skins, tin, and other useful impeftations and the trade is entitled to some means of doing business, even though 1t takes gold.

MONTENEGRO IS
 REVOLUTIONARY

Niksich Montenegro. June l, rla Athens,-ThiS town and the hills about are full of revolutionists who are scheminG to put King Nicholas back on the throne of Montenegro. The Royalists and Nationalists of Montenegro do not take kindly to the idea of their little countrys inclusion in the Jugo-Slav state.
 The American doughboys who are bringing American food into Monte negro for the Food Mission and the American Red Cross Balkan Commis sion are well liked and trusted by the Montenegrins who suE 1ect the motives of the troops of other nations in the country.
 The Montenegrin, however, is much like the Kentucky nountaineer of old. He dislikes intrusion of any sort and shots have been fired at the numerous power stations which op- crate the cable tramway by which the American food is swung through the air from Cattaro to Cettinje. The in- stinct of the Montenegrins to preserve their aloofness from the world dies hard.
 Hitherto American flour brought in by the Food Mission and the Red Cross had to be laboriously carried over the Loochen road in oxcarts Recently, how ever, the Americans put the line from Cattaro Up to the top of the first pass in good order so that it Is now used by the Red Cross for the transport of its goods over the first and worst stage of the journey.
 Cettin1e recently was the scene of a revolution to put Nicholas back on the throne and thereby prevent Mon tenegro from becoming part of the Jugo-Slav state. It was a failure be- cause some of Uncle Sam's dough- boys marched up from Cattaro and neither side cared to tackle the Americans.
 The revolutionary force of two hundred and forty men and their women laid down their arms and were put to work by the American Red Cross.
 The revolutionists including the women are now unloading flour and food for their starving relatives in the mountains. The women are even harder W workers than the men. Dur ing the war they operated machine guns, carried up ammunition and cooked for their fighters. Now that peace has come they have reverted to their old duties of burden carriers.

it there-yes some day, I have a very good prescription which-requires cocaine.
 Life a flash it came back to me of the fire at the factory, and-well, we never heard anything more of that.
 The city office was promptly shut up, and "Our Tootache Cure'' was never heard of again.
 Difficulties of Supply.
 But 1t was a narrow escape. All the drugs ordered by Lit, except the cocaine, were burned, with the fac tory. It would have been awkward to have had to explain where they had gone to. So the fire was the best way out of the difficulty.
 But cocaine must now be obtained from another source. I'm inclined to think you'H hardly believe me when I state that Lit was then making a clear profit of s2,000 a week, but that is the plain truth. Remember those once used to the drug must have it whatever it costs. and our connection was, by now, so wide. the notifications of our horrible trade so far spread, that further north even then Edinburgh have been sent with consignments of the
 
 it
 The next idea of Lifts was to start as wholesaler in drugs himself A wholesale man doesn't go openly into the market and bid for drugs as in other business he instructs a broker to buy him so much for him. Now if Lit could only get hold of broker to whom he could give large orders without attracting suspicion our wants would be supplied for every thing.
 But on second thoughts he decided that plan wouldn't do. There were those cursed inquiries again to be considered.
 For every ounce, every grain all most, of cocaine that came into the country was traceable. It was get ting dearer and dearer for illicit pur- poses, and many of you will doubtle remember the case where it was proved in court that soldier had given as much as sz00 for one single pinch.
 Fortunately we had 8 fair supply left from the toothaehe cure orders SO wo were alright for two months or so, but after that it would be difficult and dangerous perhaps even impos- sibIe to get future supply,
 Yield to Threats,
 So undermined and sapped had my moral vitality become by this time that I was simply the easiest of fools in the hands of the gang, and did just as I was told, was now becoming aware of ths effects of the drug on me. I was frequently seized by ner- vous twitchings and trembIings of the limbs, and sometimes I had strange convulsions that might almost have been fits. I couldn't eat OF drink anything without suffering in my in- digestion. I had frequent sharp at tacks of rheumatism, and my Rasm- ory wasn't so good as it had been. So was just simply a person te do as was told, and that was all.

Recently we were requested to pub
ilsh the receipts which Were given in
the Senior Program three weeks ago.
AS they are rather lengthy, we will
simply insert the one following:
Sophomore Frappe = Nutritious
though not very palatable. Beat the
grey brain matter of two Sophomores
until they can stand alone. Add a
half dozen drops of honey for sweet
/ ening and then add one whole Sopho-
more to give the mixture a nutty
flavor. Bake in a hot oven until it is
covered with a nice brown crust.
Serve Immediately, as it collapses if
exposed to air any length of time.
The Junior and Senior classes in
Misunderstanding work took the state
examinations last Tuesday, under the
supervision of Mr.. Hanson.
Rehearsals have started on the
Senior Play, and are progressing NICE
ly.
The Freshman class will give a pro-
gram next Friday afternoon, to which
everyone is cordially invited. The
Freshman class recently made a trip
to Graniteville with Miss Kruger, to
make observations for work in Phys
lcal Geography. We hope they we're
able to apply the scholarly informa-
tion, concerning such matters, given
them by the Juniors, in the late in
structive program with which the
said class favored the High School.

trained, and before the French or
Americans over there were quite
ready to handle them, just in that
proportion would we shorten the war.
He gave himself with zim and zest.
Harvey says that at Blanc Mont Ridge
either because the Marines went so
fast, or because of misunderstanding,
the French on their left and the army
on the right failed to come up to their
support. The French had ordered
them to take a certain objective. They
took it and we're left in a little pocket.
All night they were exposed to a rak-
ing machine gun fire from each of
these two TANKS. Seeing their plight
the Germans broke through on their
rear; and thus through one whole
night that outfit was E'stormed at by
shot and shelln on all four sides. 1t
was worse than Belleau Wood while
itlasted. They kept sending back run
ners. They were taken by the Ger
mans. Finally some on the right
flank got through. Immediately a
box barrage was put on the Boches
behind them, which cleaned them out.
The Marines took nine hundred pris-
oners and seventy-two machine guns.
Then they took three days off to add
two thousand requirements to that
brigade. But you do not hear them
finding fault with the government, nor
want an investigation started. They
went into the war to do their part,
and they did it end r not wasting
their time criticising others. They
grieve for the fallen comrade, but
they know he "went west" on the
field of honor with his face toward
the enemy of civilization and human
ity, while wearing the emblem with
the words, "Semper Fidelis," which
is honored and respected by all civil
lied nations and feared by all people
and nations who believe in injustice
and inhumanity. "Semper Fidelis'i
will still be his motto toward his coun'
try after he returns to the walks Of
civil life. Harvey was both wounded
and gassed at Blanc Mont Ridge OF
the afternoon of October 4th and has
just returned from a hospital in Paris
he says he received the best of treat
ment.
