u -. NAVY DID HER PART
n1A DVG xUTTG

TIL work Of the United States navy
during the late war, equalied il it
did not surpass the ancient tradi-
tons of the service. This was made
very plain by Assistant Secretary OF
the Navy Franklin ID. Roosevelt, who
returned from Europe with President
Wilson on the transport George
Washington. Discussing the work
accomplished, the assistant secre-
tary said:
During the war we had 359 ves-
sells of an classes based in European
ports. We had a total Of "a sta
lions located in different parts of
Great Britain, ireland, France, Italy,
Greece, Gibraltar and the Azores.
"Of these twenty were seaplane
stations. The work of our planes,
especially along the coast of France,
was wonderful. Day after day these
aviators, utterly fearless, brayed all
sorts of weather conditions keeping
the ocean lanes open at their end to
allow the free passage of the vessels
carrying trops, munitions and sup
plies.
when the arnistice was signed
we had a total of 10000 men and
officers abroad. Since that thee We
have been able to demobolize nearly
$4,000 of them while we will get the
remainder home as rapidly as posi-
BILE.
THE work of the marines at Cha
teau Thierry, Belleau Woods, Soils
sons, St. Mihiel and other points is
history, but the fact that their cas-
ualties was more than leo percent
is not. Their strength has always
been kept up through requirements,
of whom 5000 were sent forward.
The marines and the second division
in which they were, have. a record
for the capture of more prisoners
they took 12,00O-more artillery,
advancing more kilometers than any
other division. Their heroiSm and
fighting qualities would occupy a
prominent place in the record OF the
war and We are all proud that they
are part of the navy organization.
"One of the greatest accomplish
ments of the war was the laying Of
the mine barrage in the North sea.
This work was one of the biggest
tasks initiated during the war. Had
il been carried through to completion
it would have meant that total of
lVU,VVV iuulNlUuat mines COSIiuS
s5O,000,0O0 would have been laid
down from the Orkney Islands across
the North sea to Norway, complete
ly blocking the operations of the
German u boats.
1.-The work was undertaken by
agreement with the British admiral
ity. The United States navy agreed
to do four-ffths of the work and the
British one-ffth. When the armis-
tice ended the labor, we had laid
total of 56,613 individual mines at
cost of $31, 100000 and the British
had laid 1862 mines at a cost to
them OF 100000. These made

THIEVES GIVEN WARNING

Some shippers are taking advant-
age of the fact that the U. S. govern
ment is operating the railroads to
impress on persons who might wish
to seal materials in transit, that the
government is in charge of the ship
ments and that an offense of theft
in such case is an offense against the
federal authorities. Anyhow, that
is the statement attached to a ship
ment seen Monday. The card past
ed on the box states that the govern
ment is ip charge of that shipment
and the punishment for stealing any
part or all of the shipment is ten
years in the penitentiary.

HABIT OF APPRECIATION

The habit of appreciation does
more to make the possessor popular
than almost any quality that can be
named. You do not need to envy
the pretty girl who cannot even peel
potatoes without making a charming
picture of herself, or the witty girl
who can talk on almost any subject,
and make herself entertaining, pro-
vided you have learned both to feel
appreciation and to show it.-Girls'

are bigamy, venereAl infection, at

Of all matrimonial cases in secret to
