Any Nation, But for Own
Protection.
tBy Associated Press,

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 31.-In pre-
senting committees today to the last
class of reserve officers trained at the
United States naval academy during
the war. Secretary Daniels predicted
that there will besno time of reces-
sion of interest in the navy"
"Not in your day." the naval secre-
tary told the young officers, "will
there be any reduction of naval power.
We are now on the last stretch of
building the three year program of
naval construction which was author
lied three years ago."
Secretary Daniels said he had no
doubt that congress would authorize
the recommendation of President Will
son for another three year program OF
construction. In building ships under
that program, he said. types of YES
sells would be constructed which
would keep our navy abreast of any
in the world"
Must Help police World.
''We shall not build against any ma
tion," the secretary continued. 'be-
cause we have faith that the league of
peace will bering about such friend
ship and understanding among all ma
tions as will ultimately cause reduc-
ton in armament and consequent
decrease of expenditures for naval
strength. We. shall not build against
any nation but SO long as this repub-
lie needs navy, we must have one,
for our own protection and to pre-
serve the peace of the world. that will
be powerful, strong and modern.
'It would be sin for America,
rich and powerful, to be beholden to
any other country for naval protec-
tion. We must in whatever sort of
world police shall be needed in the
new order. contribute as many units
and as much strength as any other ma
ton. We must remember always that
the maintenance of the Monroe doc
trine is our responsibility and duty"
Mr.. Daniels said it was the plan Of
the navy department after the treaty
of peace Is signed, to maintain a
trained and efficient naval reserve
force which will be ready for instant
mobilization in event of an emerg-

BOLSHEvIK ARMY
FACES HUNS IN
EAST PRUSSIA
Situation Reported to be Seri-
Gus by Cermans-Poles
Send Protest to Soviet.
(By Associated Press)

BASEL, Thursday, JAM 30.-The
General Anzeiger's Berlin correspond
ent says the. situation in East Prussia
is very serious. Several Bolshevist di-
visions are facing the eighth army
and seventy thousand are facing the
tenth army. The dispatch adds that
it is feared the German forces will be
insufficient to effectively resist.
The Bolsheviki are concentrating a
considerable number of troops in the
territory between the Vologda railway
and the line of the Vaga river, appa-
rent!y with the object of either sur
rounding the allied column in this
sector or, by cutting through, to iso-
late the troops.
The Polish government has sent a
strong protest to the Russian soviet
government in consequence of the ar.
rest OF the Polish legation at Moscow
and Polish prisoners relief commit
tee which is in Russia. 1t was stated
by the soviet government that these
arrests were reprisals for the assas-
sination of members of a Bolshevist
Red Cross mission in Poland. The
Polish government has repudiated re-

committee.
Germans Take City.
Advices from the West Prussian
border, where German troops have
been dispatched against the Poles, re-
port that the German force that had
been assigned to occupy the town OF
Klumsee, which is the railway juno
tion between Thorn and Graudenz
was forced to take the place by storm
after Polish irregulars had refused to
negotiate.
An automobile containing a Ger
man lieutenant and four men had pre-.
ceded the troops for the purpose OF
finding quarters for them, the account
states, We're entering the city hall
when they were fired on by Polish
band and disarmed. The Germans
succeeded in escaping in disguise. Lat
er when the main body of troops
neared Kulmsee, it too was fired on
by the Poles. The Germans tried to
induce the Poles to surrender the
towns, but the latter refused and the
city, the advices declare, had to be
bombarded by artillery and stormed
The Poles are said to have suffered
considerable losses in killed and
wounded. while the Germans had &c
casualties.

Wayne County Husbands
Got Most of Divorces
During War Times

Changes made by the war in Wayne
county are reflected in the records of
the clerk of court for the year 1918 as
compared with 1917. The clerks re-
port of the last year was filed Friday
morning
Only 359 marriage licenses were
tai-en out during the year, against
430 for 1917. On the other hand, di-
vorces decreased from 1876 to SO, a
greater relative decrease than the
number Of marriages.
While during normal times the wife
brings usually about three-fourths the
actions for divorce, last year divorces
brought by husbands were in the ma
jority. Whether wives think more
highly of husbands who may be called
away to join the colors, or whether
husbands feel more dependent under
the same circumstances, court house
attaches couldn't say. 1t was notice
able that actions for cruelty declined
from 40 to II.
Criminal cases filed were less than
half the 1917 record in 1918, Ill
against 242. The proportion of con-
victions was about the same Arrests
for felonies made in 1918 numbered
81, of which 81 were convicted. Ar
rests for fe1onies in 1917 were 131, of
which 49 were convicted. For mis-
-demeanor. only 20 persons were ar
rested in 1918 against 1872 In the form
or year.
Ffty-fye persons were granted citi-
zenship in 1918 as against % in 1917,
probably a direct result of the CAM
paign for Americanism during the

A Rap for "vIrtuous"
BY CYNTHIA

Dear Cynthia-It seems TO me that
"Virtuous' is missing something in
life: kissing among girls and boys
without real love as foundation Is not
a crime. but it is cheapening. When
we invite guest to meal we hardly
expect any one who pleases to nibble
at the guests meal as it is passed to
him.
How much less should we let who will
nibble at our girlhood, instead of
keeping it unmarried for him whose
right it is. A man in marrying q girl
gives to her his love, his name, his pro-
lection and n home, and surely the
least that we can do is to guard as
sacred that which should be kept for the
one man, for every real woman desires
home and children Of her own.
Another thing to be remembered Is
that although a man will take all that
girl will give him, he gives respect
to the girls who refuse familiarities.
The best men are those who respect
women, and If we do more to win the
respect Of the men we raise the standard
of our men. Maybe there would be
more men hanging to the straps in the
trolley cars in place Of women. / do
not speak from theory, but from what
I have seen in life, and ] know many
girls who feel as / do. ] have had my
share of sunshine and shadow, but !
have never regretted that / have been

THE GREAT
NATIONAL DISEASE
Alfred w. McCann, Eminent
Food Authority, Explains
the Importance OF Bran
to Relieve 1t

Alfred W. McCann, in his great
health book, "The Science Of Eating,
calls attention to the vast Improvement
in health of the Igoroto soldiers in
Buena Vista, Cavite Province, Philip
pine Islands, when DR.. Donald Nc
Caskey, medical inspector in charge,
added bran to their diet. The import
ance of bran in the prevention and relief
of many human ailments originating in
mineral starvation and constipation is
receiving more attention today in med
ical circles than at any time during the
past forty years.
Mr.. McCann recently visited W. K.
Kellogg at Battle Greek and as result
made the following statement:
bran contains phosphorus, iron,
lime, potassium and many other medi-
cinal properties discarded in the modern
process of milling grain to the form of
white -four. For this reason Americans
should form the bran habit, consuming
two or three tablespoonfuls daily.
"Kellogg's Krumbled Bran prepared
under a process originated by w. X.
hEllObB1 Ihd luhlOho loOu
of Battle Creek, Mich, is designed to
contribute all the rich solubles and ex-
tractives of wheat bran to America 6
one sided diet.
Constipation is the great national
disease. Its gravity consists in the
fact that it leads to SO many other dis
eases. Because it readily submits in
| the vast majority of cases to the laxa
tive action of clean bran, no housewife
should ignore the virtues of this too Ions
neglected food. Whatever objections
may have heretofore been found tc
bran have been overcome in the new
healthful and favorful food cooked il
the big kitchens at Battle Creek"
Kellogg's Krumbled Bran is on sal,

Kitchen Paper

Paper has many uses in the kitchen.
The cook needs a piece of paper on
which to drain the fried croquettes, the
fritter or the doughnut, and she reaches
out for the brown paper that came
around the meat. She turns to the
same source when she wishes paper foI
lining a cake pan. A little reflection
the home economics kitchen of the De-
partment of Agriculture suggests. will
show how far from cleanly is this prac-
tice. In every kitchen roll of grocer
naper on its frame will prove useful
You are then sure Of having paper that
has not been handled since it was rolled
up by machinery in the factory. Par
affin paper should be on hand for COW
ering food, for wrapping up sandwiches
for school lunches, and for similar pur-
| poses.
Newspapers cut into pieces Of con-
venient size or old catalogues, if used to
place under kettles or pans. will save
much scrubbing of the sink or table.
| Light brown paper or tissue paper
should be saved for use in cleaning
greasy pans and kettles.
