THE sANDOw OF THE NAVY.

On board every ship Of the navy
there are a number of men who are al
ways called upon to display their PROV
ess and entertain their shipmates
at smokers and Happy Hour" shows.
The wire walker, the tumbler, the
strong man, and many others of en-
tertaining ability are always in de-
mand.
The picture shows, Valentie Will
liams, strong man, supporting four
of his husky shipmates, the combined
weight of which is 563 pounds. This
performance is more remarkable in
view of the fact that Val only tips the
scales at 142 himself.

GOVERNOR OF OHIO CHOSEN BY
DEMOCRATS AS THEIR NEXT
STANDARD BEARER.
Sa.mer's Withdrawal and Desertlons
From McAdoo Starts Votes For
ohioan, Resulting in His Being
Chosen by Acctamation.

San Francisco After forty-three
ballots had been taken without selec-
ton having been made, James M.
Cox, governor Of Ohio, was nominated
for president Of tile United States In
the Democratic national convention at
/ 40 o'clock Tuesday morning, July 6.
Governor Cox was nominated by ac-
clamation, after 1t became evident
that he would receive the necessary
number of votes.
When the balloting had gotten to q
point where Governor Cox had 702
votes and was rapidly approaching
the necessary two-thirds of 729, Sam
B. Amidon of Kansas, manager Of the
McAdoo forces and vice chairman of
the Democratic national committee,
took the platform and moved that the
nomination of Governor Cox be made
unanimous. Immediately there was a
roar from the tired and worn dele
gates which lasted for a fun four
minutes before Chairman Robinson
could put the question on Amidon's
motion to suspend the rules and NOM
mate Cox by reclamation.
Governor Cox. William G. McAdoo
and Attorney General Palmer were the
leaders in the race for the coveted
nomination during the days of ballot
ing.
After the thirty-third ballot on presi
Dental candidates had been taken II
began to look as If the deadlock
formed by Cox, McAdoo and Palmer
would not be broken without the in
PRODUCTION Of another candidate.

the only means of breaking the dead

The Probability Of Reaching an

each other for direct negotiations Tor
the first time since the Versailles

eSsions to Konstantin Fehrenbach, the
German chancellor. He and his as

refuse demands which they consider
beyond Germany's strength to meet.
Herr Fehrenbach said Sunday that
he had nothing to add to his contem-
plated declarations 10 the German
parliament until after he had met the
allied ministers. Germany's resources
and capacity to pay, he declared, were
set forth tn the memorandum given to
each Of the principal allied govern

other German source Is that, taking
the minimum unofficial reports OF the
equivalent OF $20.000OOO,000 with In

AS ESSENTIAL AIM
PROBLEMS or CLASSROOM AND
ADMINISTRATION DISCUSSED
AT EDUCATIONAL MEET.
Educators OF the Nation Understand
More Clearly Than Ever Before
the Socmnity Of the Duty That
Is Laid Upon Them.

Salt Lake City.The teachers of
the nation were represented at the
first official mass session, on Mon
day, of the National Education assocI-
alton, In annual convention.
Deeper realization Of the vital part
that education bears In the develop
ment Of the true American citizen,
the essential element In the perpetuity
OF the nation, was the dominant note.
Through all the addresses ran the
undercurrent that the educators Of
the nation understand today, more
clearly than ever before, the solem-
nifty Of the duty that is laid upon
them, the high responsibility that is
theirs in shaping the lives and char
acters Of those who must soon con-
troll the destinles Of the nation.
Dr. 70, A. Smith, former superin-
tendent of Salt Lake City schools,
who made the address introducing
Chairman George %. Strayer, called
attention to the fact that the exec
utiye officers of the NJ e. A. realize
the sweeping change that has come
over the minds of the people as to
the importance of education
City Superintendent George N.
Child who delivered the first of the
welcoming addresses pointed out the
necessity for school legislation, which,
like that Of Utah, Is aimed to make
the student physically, mentally, vo-
cationally and morally efficient.
Governor Hamburger declared that
his experience during and since the
war have given him an insight Into
the priceless value Of education he
never before enjoyed.

Program For Conference With German
Delegates Discussed.

Brussels.-The supreme council has

which will be discussed with German

A very unfavorable impression was
creaSed when it became known that a
memorandum prepared by German ex-
perts regarding the economic sitaa-
ton oS Germany and her ability to
meet the PREPARATION demands had
been submitted to the allied govern
ments. The step was regarded as a
maneuver intended to prepare the way
for the execution of the treaty.
It was also taken as confirmation
of reports from Berlin that the atti'
tude of Konstantin Fehrenbach, Ger.
man chancellor and head of the Ger
man Spa delegation, will be that
financial settlement must be made or
the basis of the present economic
situation of Germany without taking
into account any future economic i'm
