 Naval Power.

x Washing ngton.-Unless a league of make certain the limitation of inter- national armament, is established, the United States must build the greatest navy in the world, Secretary Daniels told the House Naval Committee.
 Tt is my firm conviction" said the secretary, that if the conference at Versailles does not result in a gen. eral agreement to put an end to naval building on the part of all the nations, then the United States must bend her energies, must give her men and give her money to the task of the creation of incomparably the greatest navy in the world"
 With the completion of the pro- posed new three year building pro- gram, adding ten dreadnoughts, six battle cruisers, ten scout cruisers and 130 smaller craft to the fleet, America still will rank second in naval strength 10 Great Britain, saiG the secretary, who appeared before the committee to make the final recommendations for the 1920 naval bill
 Docs the president back the policy to make us the first naval power ill the world?" asked Representative Kel- ly of Michigan.
 "Yes, if competitive building is to continue,' said Mr. Daniels. We are now easily the second naval power. but this program will not make Us the first"

CHAPTER xl.

By evening the rush of work had died down, and the orderlies, save those on duty, were given the custo- mary leave.
 Leave meant Etaples, with it's com fortable little inn, the chatty landlady and her pretty daughter.
 Mark strode toward Etaples. He had an intense longing for the lights and comfort of the little inn. But he had not gone more than a hundred paces when Hartley hailed him.
 'Going into Etaples?" he asked. Do you mind my going with you?"
 Frankly, yes, Hartley" answered Mark. You won't mind my saying so? I want to be alone after"
 "I know, old man, said Hartley, drawing back. "Sorry if I bothered you"
 But Mark swung round on him. Hartley, answer me one question" he said. 'What has Miss Howard ever had to do with you? Why have you been watching her for six or seven yearS?"
 Hartley began to walk along the road at Marks side. He made curi- ous gulping sound before he answered.
 Has it occurred to you, Mark, that the Henson woman has been operating in Washington for a good time now?" he asked.
 'I suppose so," Mark answered.
 You know everything was prepared for years before the war began. The system had notifications in every de partment of the government. You know Colonel Howard was in touch with 1t as far back as the Cuban warp
 Good Lord. yes. but"
 And a man is only a pawn in such game. Good God, don't question me, Mark!

I've done them more harm than good. I had my motives selfish ones, dcSplcable, perhaps; but was never a traitor. Good God, Mark, haven't you seen how your faith in me has begun to make a man of me?"
 Mark took Hartley's hand and grippod it. It was the best and the only possible answer. In their tacLt understanding they went on toward the inn together.
 Outside the inn they saw an auto, ,,-IIh s.pl.ItDt. .,,pcr,u,. rbor,s, Hartley grippcd Marks arm.

 She led them round by the side, into the kitchen, where they found half a dozen privates drinking light wine and teasing the landlady's daughter as she served them.
 There was nothing in this to the men; they were often turned out of the dining room-parlor when officers put in an appearances But-this was Kellermanl Mark looked at Hartley and saw intense excitement on his face, which he was trying most evidently to restrain.
 He ordered beer of Annette. and fol lowed her toward the outhouse in which the liquor was stored.

As she moved out of the lighted room into the shadows outside the merriment fell like mask from her face.
 ''What is 1t, Annette" asked Mark.
 "Ah, monsieur, 1t Is tragic" !" said the girl, pausing at the outhouse door. She is one of my oountrywomen. The

 The nurse who addressed him spoke as to servant.
 "Yes, Sister," he answered, and braced his shoulders and hurried to obey.
 The patient, already etherized, had been brought in. Mark, watching the patient narrowly as the surgeon probed the wound, knew nothing but his task until the surgeon nudged him familiar " in the side while one of the nurses was sponging his forehead.

WILL REPLACE MANY SALOONS
WITH SOFT DRINK
STANDS
GREAT CAMPAIGN NEXT WEEK
Christian County Work To Be Head
ed By Envoy Waller and
Committee.

Commander Evangeline Booth
head of the Savation Army in this
country, has announced that the Sal
walton Army would endeavor, after
July l, when war prohibition goes
into effect, to take over a string of
saloons from ocean to ocean and
border to border, and that well-de-
fined movement in that direction had
already been started.
"In these saloons the army" add
ed Miss Booth, twill retain the bar
and brass rail features, but will serve
only the most harmless of soft drinks.
In other words, the plan calls for a
great chain of soft drink saloons
which will be run as far as possible
as clubs for working men and wo-
men. The main hold of the saloon
upon the working man is the oppor-
tunity," said Miss Booth, "it offers
for comradeship."
"The saloon has its appeal and
man is creature of social instincts.
We must recognize that at all times
he prefers the society of men to that
of women.
Here in Hopkinsville the local Sal
walton Army has moved its head
quarters into house vacated by a
saloon.
The great campaign to raise $13,-
100000, a nationwide movement,
endorsed by the President, will open
Monday and run until May 26.
