NOT SEE WAR NEAR
Rear Admiral Fiske Tells Senate
His Chief Had Wrong
Attitude.

Secretary OF the Navy Daniels did
rot believe the United states would
be involved In the world war ana re-
fused TO listen TO pleas for prepared
ness, Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske,
formerly naval aid for operation, to-
day told the Senate committee inves-
tigating the navy's conduct OF the
war.
"In the special case OF the United
States" Admiral Fiske said. "the res
son the navy was unprepared lay In
the mental and temperamental char
acteristics OF the man at the head,
and the policy pursued in consequence
OF these characteristics"
THE Secretary" Fiske said. "was
absolutely convinced in his own mind
that there would not be a war"
Besides differing with the Secretary
on the preparedness question" Fiske
revealed that he also opposed the
Secretary's educational plan in the
navy. He said the Secretary's at
tempt TO "democratize the navy" as
II was termed. lowered the morale OF
the personnel"
Forced 10 Resign.
What effect on your personal fo--
tunes did your attitude have?" Chair
man Hale of the committee asked.
"I got out of the navy" Fiske re-
piled. my resignation was not ash
ed for. but l had to resign. and :he
effect was to disCredit me-"
Fiske was asked what he would do
to prevent unpreparedncss in the fu-
ture.
81 am forced to the conclusion that
by far the most important thing Is
for the public to insist that the man
at the head of the navy be thorough
ly imbued with the spirit of the navy;
highly educated and open minded, ca
pable OF understanding the need for
preparedness" he replied.

Italian Number First
Opening his program with the
Aris, "Ilmio Tesoro" from Don Gio-
ysnni, by Mozart, the tenor at once
sustained his reputation with the
audience. His tones were perfect,
snd this number displayed to ad-
vantage his ability to sing some
thing other than the ballads for
which he is probably more widely
famed. This, his only number in
Italian, showed his excellent COM

called on for an encore he gener-

The little aux; a polar bird familiar,
to all arctic explorers. is an Irregular
winter visitor to- the British isles from
the polar regions. chiefly arriving on
the northern shores. During the Sc
we're winter only however, do these
birds make their appearance in large
numbers, being driven from the coasts

In the memorable winter Of 1S04-95'
when the temperature fell below zero
in various parts Of the country. a re-
markable invasion of these little birds
took place along the northern and
eastern shores of Britain. Another
great invasion Of these birds took
place during the severe wfntry wealth.
,er early in 1912, when the aux was
found in abundance in various inland
localities.
The aux selects for its nest holes
and crevices in rocks and cliffs. into
which it creeps a. long way, and there
lays its single egg, out Of reach OF Its
enemies, the arctic foxes. The eggs
are of a very delicate, pale greenisnr
like blue color, family spotted. Like

cies, the little aux has remarkably

Like everything else, the cost Of
building has gone up in the last four
years, but not in such proportion as
q great many other necessities. This
increase in the cost of building IS: re-
sponsible, in q great measure for the
Increase in rents. But the main fac
tor in rental increase is the fact that
there are fewer homes than families
who want them. Bidding one against
The other, most families have found
that their landlords are in a receptive
mood, and are getting all that they
Gan for the houses or apartments
they own.
It Is the latter fact that makes

good investment at the
present time. If property owners
can make 10 or Is per cent on their

to pay that extraordinary profit to
yourself. And, as it will take at least

It will be noted that plenty Of closet
space is provided, there being closet
in the entrance hall, and one In Gen.
nection with each of the bedrooms.
The basement extends under the
whole of the house and provides ade-
quite space for the heating plant, fuel
storage and rooms for fruits and vege-
tables, and other things that usually
are stored in the basement.
From this description it can readily
be understood that this home is a
convenient and comfortable place in
which to live, and, at the same time,
it is one of the least expensive OF
homes to build.
While the house shown in the illus
tration is of standard frame construc-
ton with clapboard sides, either brick
or stucco may be substituted without
changing the character of construc.
ton. For stucco any Of the patented
stucco boards, or metal lath is put on
with the stucco over it. Or wall Of
a single brick thickness may be used
on the outside. ,u Il ~
These changes in the design can be
made readily by the architect. or the
contractor, If he be an experienced
and capable one. Whichever method
Is used it is we'll to consult an archi-
tect. the contractor and the material
dealer before the material to be used
is finally decided on. These men have
had long experience in building; are
familiar with the costs of materials
delivered to the place where the home
is to be erected, and can give the best
possible advice to the home builder.
AS was said at the beginning, it is
practical economy to build and own
your home. The ownership not only
insures the family with a comfortable
place in which to live, but the owner
will be accommodating the best asset:
money will purchase. But, aside from
the investment standpoint, owning a
home brings larger dividends in the
satisfaction and comforts that go hand
in hand with owning the home in
which you live. Home owners are
stable; they are best members Of SO
ciety in any community, and are given
both business and social opportunities
that are denied to the renter. It

deep-seated sympathy for Poland,
aroused by her porting over Euro

hood, is believed to be largely re-
sponsible for the career Of Major
Cedric Earle Fauntleroy, U. S. A.,
with the Polish air forces, where
the major has been conspicuously
mentioned during the past few
months for his exploits against the
Russian Bolsheviki. He is now in
the United States on a mission for
the Polish government, and plans
soon to visit his mother, Mrs. May
Fauntleroy. who lives at McGehee,
Ark, a few miles south Of this city.
when I was a gill; Mrs. Faun-
tleroy said recently, Il lived with
my grandparents. There were no
children in the household and none
near us. The five adults in the
household talked of things that did
not interest me- 1 was fond of read
ing/ however, and grew to spend
most Of my time in grandfather's Ii
brary. There I pored over big vol
umes Of history. Poland's misfor-
tunes made a deep impression on
me.
"Childlike, made the troubles Of
oppressed peoples my grievances. l
have restored the Polish Kingdom
hundreds OF times, in my irnagina-
ton. and shed numerous tears be-
cause of the plight Of Poland with
in the last century. I have fought
her enemies and killed the pl0tters
who destroyed her.
"Kosciusko was one Of my much
mourned visionary friends, and &C
cording to my thinking, Freedom
Shrieked When Kosciusko Fell was
the grandest poem ever written.
Naturally, when Cedric was a
child. l told him the stories Of the
tribulations of the Poles. and con-
soled him with the thought that
some day when he became a man.
he might help set Poland free. I
am sure that those memories have
spurred him on in his activities
AGAINST the Russians.
