(The following is reprint from The Big U," a ships publication, showing how one U. s. navy ship l travelled in six months. Other ships of the navy travel even more exten- sively.)
 In six months we have travelled more than 16,000 knots or about 1S,000 miles. We have visited Eng land, Ireland, France, the isles of Cuba and Martinique and have en- loyed leaves and liberty in the two largest cities in the world, New York and London. We performed the duty assigned us in the greatest war in history and recently we had the honor of being indirect participants in the first trans-oceanic flight of a heavier than-air machine; feat the credit for which goes to the navy.
 From our station of vigilance in Bantry Bay, Ireland, backed by it's rugged green-clad hills, we journeyed to the misty and fog-bound shores of England and to the metropolis of the British Empire. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery and climate of the tropics. From a few hundred miles above the equator we found ourselves in few weeks tossed by heavy seas and a 70-mile gale in the cold gray waters of the North Atlantic, due south of Greenland.
 We have been in European waters where often the fates of empires have been decided. In the blue waters of the South we cruised where Columbus sought and discovered the New World; where the old-time pirates held their sway and where the gal Icons of Spain spread their canvas to the winds for hundreds of years. We viewed St. Pierre, the dead city by the sea, with the gaunt and now dor mant volcano of Mt. Pelee in the back ground, while on the same island we visited the pretty little waterside vil- lage where Josephine the first wife of Napoleon was born. At Guanta- namo we were short distance from Santiago Bay, where Sampson and Schley put an end to four hundred years rule by Spain in America and where another brilliant chapter was written into our naval history.
 Up north we passed due east of the point where on August 19, 1872, the American frigate Constitution, better known as "Old Ironsides," under Isaac Hull, met and in 25 minutes de- feated the British frigate Guerriere, called "The Terror of the World" Then, at Hampton Roads we were in the waters where some of the first action of the war of 1861-1S65 was seen and where the historic engage ment between the Monitor and Mepri- mac, the first iron-clads, was fought.
 Lastly, we saw the famed United States naval academy, which needs no description here. In the quaint old town of Annapolis we visited the state capitol of Maryland and saw the chair from which Washington rendered his resignation as chief of the Colonial army after we won our Independence. Then, too, many of us went to our National Capitol at Washington and to the city of Baltimore.
 We have travelled, we have seen, we have observed, we have learned. We will continue to travel in the navy. Nowhere else can we see such a varie- ty of places and learn such variety of things as we do here.

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARDS, July 29.--Good to choice fed, caked and wintered steers sold readily at steady prices; but other grades were in slow demand and 25 cents lower. The advance in hogs was halted, tenn porarily at least, though no big set back occurred in prices. Values here are much higher than elsewhere. Packers droves Saturday cost $22.80, compared with $22,06 in Chicago and S21.70 in Omaha.
 TOday's Receipts
 Cattle receipts today were 21,000, or 5000 larger than week ago, and the largest supply on any Tuesday this year. The big Kansas, Okla homa, and Texas grass movement is getting under way, but remains short of year ago. Hog receipts, 5000, were the same as a week ago, though 1000 less than year ago. Sheep arrivals were 1000, about 2,000 more than week ago, and 1000 less than a year ago.
 Beef Cattle Fairly Active
 Good to choice cattle, whether grass, grain, or wintered grades, were in fairly active demand at steady prices. Killers sorted over the supply early with some show of activity and later bought sparingly of the com mon kinds. The two angles of the market are scant supply of hard fat steers and an increasing movement of grassers. Prices for the latter are sagging. Top steers brought S1S,O0, and range of sales was So to SIS. Cows sold at $5.50 to S12.50, and heifers at $6.50 to $15.50. Calves were quoted at $S to $14.50. Calf re- ceipts remain heavy and July receipts will be the largest on record for the seventh month in the year.
 Stockers and Feeders in Big Demand Demand for stock and feeding cat tie is enlarging. The movement is on the increase. The recent advance in fat cattle has encouraged larger de- mand for heavy feeders at prices ranging from $12.50 to $16.50. The bulk of the feeders are bringing $1O.50 to $l2.5O. Stockers are selling at S8 to S12.50. Small demand has developed for stock calves, and prices are relatively low, at $S to $12.50. Stock cows and heifers are quoted at $6.50 to $10.
 Hogs Steady
 Hog prices today held steady with last Friday, the first Tuesday in sev- eral weeks past that the market failed to show a substantial increase. Re- ceipts were not large, and the halt in the advance is attributed to the fact that high prices have curtailed demand. The quality of the offerings is not at good as month ago. The top price today was $23.05 and the bulk of the offerings sold at $22.50 to $22.95, or 25 to 35 cents higher than a week ago.
 Sheep and Lambs Weak and Lower With fairly liberal receipts of sheep today, prices were quoted weak to 25 cents lower. Lambs sold at $15 to s16.50; ewes, $6.50 to S9; .wethers, S8 to $9.50. Trade in feeding and breeding grades was quiet. About the only Western offerings received thus far have been consignments from the other markets.
 Horses and Mules Quiet
 Trade in horses and mules was quiet with no quotable change in the prices. Receipts remained small. There is fairly good inquiry for the rugged work animals. Mules are very scarce, and selling readily.

 Market Correspondent.

nounces its Filtration Plant was plac-
placed in operation yesterday. The
excessive ard protracted rains have
seriously delayed the work and only
by the most strenuous efforts and at
considerable increased cost has the
plant been advanced to its present
stage. It will require perhaps couple
of weeks to restore the reservoir to
full water level and get the filtered

In the mean time we must ask the

SITUATION IN HAND
Many Soldiers Rushed to Capital City
Army Tanks Ready for Service
Martial Law Not Needed.

Race fighting in Washington is de-
finitely checked, and officials believe
it is ended.
There was hardly more thar a
sputtcr of petty riots last night, and
the city today felt like holding up its
head again as it faced the record.
The cold-blooded murder of Isaac
B. Halbfinger, a Home Defense
Lacquer, by a firebrand negro who
objected to being searched for con-
cealed weapons was a case Of indi-
vidua lawlessness rather than link
in the chain of race battles in the
streets.
Despite all precautions taken by
civi! and military authorities, ricting
between whites and negroes lroke
out again last night in Washington
and report reached the police at
10 O'Clock that white man, believed
to have been j. w. Halpinger, a
home defense guard, had been shot
and killed at Eighth and NJ streets
in the northwest section. The a&sas-
sin escaped.
Soon after the killing of the guard,
the police received report that an
other guard also had been shot BY d
negro. He was reported as fatally
wounded. A detachment of cavalry
and squad of marines was rushed
TO the scene of the shootings.
With five persons dead, II possibly
dying and scores injured in race bat
ties en- the streets here during the
last three night. every preca"tion
shcrs of martial law was taken las!
night by police and military pr1vost
guards 10 prevent a recurrence CT
rio.;ng that came as an outgrowth of
numerous assaults on white women
and other recent acts Of violenca'by
negroes.
There were no disorders during thc.
day, but at nightfall police and troops
supplemented by additional detach-
ments: of regulars from Camp Meade
and marines from Quantico, took: up
their stations in grim preparation
for what the hours of darkness
might bring.
A statement issued by the gc"ern-
irg authorities denied that the Situa-
tion had been out of hand at any timc
although night when riot calls were
sounding from half dozen places al
time. The authorities also decided,
although resolutions introduced il the
House during the day urged tina. the
President be requested to take that
action.
President Wilson took cogn2ance
of the situation late yesterday when
lie called Secretary Baker to the
White House for a conference on ster
that might be taken by the military
in cooperation with the civil author

breaks.
No information was forthcoming

but unofficially it was learned that a
least three companies from Cam!
