Northcliffe to Daniels.

Copyright, 1920, by United News.)
s"The big and little ship controversy
which originated said Lord North
cliffe, SIS an attempt to get from the
hest naval minds the knowledge of what
are the best measures Tor the future
defense of Great Britain and her assoc
ciated nations Of Australia, New zea-
land and the others. The late Lord
Fisher had an uncanny faculty Of being
right. He was usually years ahead of
his time. He invented the now defunct
dreadnaught and the fast, heavily ar
incurred cruiser He wan the persistent
advocate of Oil and turbine. He be-.
legged in the submarine at time when
it was regarded as dangerous toy.
BACK in 1915 he told me that the day of
the big battleship was gone. He is
now supported by Sir Percy Scott. I
call to mind and refer back to con-
troversy in which Sir Percy Scott en-
gagged early in 1913, just before the war,
when he pretty accurately. guessed what
would happen to the big ships and to
the growing power of the little ships.
II have no views myself on the sub
jegt and do not professe to know any
thing about it. But at q time when
we are being asked to commit Great
Bsttain to the building of a large num-
Der of ships which are to cost $50, 900, 600
EACH l think we ought carefully to
less monsters for other peoples sub
marines to lock up in harDors.
"As for rivalry between the fleets of
the United States and the fleets of Great
Britain: Our fleets are wanted for am
entirely different purpose from yours.
Ours is fleet for defense and mainly
commerce defense. If my friend, Sec
rotary Daniels, ever did suggest that the
United States had to arm itself to COM
pete against any combination of powers
against the United States. 1 would very
much like to know what combination
he suggests. There is no possible COM
bination. Is it suggested that Britain
should combine, for example, with the
Japanese or the Chinese against the
United States? I can imagine the howl
that would come from Australia, British
Columbia and other of the British over
sea dominions If any such impossible
situation were suggested. Perhaps
some Washington correspondent will
give my love to 5Ir. Daniels and ask him
to make his combination"

ALL He HAD in HIS HAND
Pat Certainly Held No Weapon of
offense, but 1t Was Deadly
for His Case.

In the courthouse an Irishman stood
charged with stealing a watch from
fellow citizen. He stoutly denied the
accusation, and brought counter
charge against the sccuser for assault
and battery committed with frying
pan.
The judge was inclined to take
common-sense view of the matter and,
regarding the prisoner, said:
why did you allow the prosecutor,
who is a much smaller man than your
self, to assault you without resist
ance? Had you nothing in your hand
to defend yourself?'

Hunter Impersonates Squirrel.


q case of a hunter being hunted. in
which the hunted hunter received, in adj
clifton to a charge of shot in the face and
chest, damages for the resulting injuries,
Is that of White VS.. Levarn, 1O9 Atlantic
Reporter, 564 The parties to the action,
answering the call of the wild, armed
themselves with shotguns, and bent on
the destruction of the chattering SOUR
rel and the drumming partridge, hied
themselves to the woods one Sunday in
October 1913. Towards the close of the
afternoon they separated-one going
through the woods near stone wall
which divided the woods from a small
clearing, and the other, at the same
time, starting in the same direction on
the other side of the wall. After going
short distance the later sat down on
the wall, and while SO occupied was shot
by his companion, who mistook him for
gray squirrel because he was wearing
cap made of gray material.
Had the cap been q gray squirrel If
would probably have escaped, as no
damages were sought for injuries to
the cap, and the injuries sustained
showed that the shot went low.
A majority Of the court rendered
judgment for the defendant, the presid-
ing judge dissenting, and the case Wen,
to the Vermont supreme court on plain-
tlffs exceptions. Chief Justice Watson
wrote an opinion wherein it was held
that, since hunting on Sunday was pro
hibited by statute, defendant was liable
whether or not the shooting was the re-
suit of carelessness or accident, and. as
consent to an assault was no justifica-
ton, contributory negligence of the in
1ured hunter was no defense The iudg
mGnt was reversed. and the cause re-
manded for the assessment of damages.

samples will be ten ears this year
instead OF twenty, as last year. A
class has also been provided for
single ears. The millers will offer
a trophy for the best sample OF
milling wheat and the oats millers
a trophy for the best sample of
oats, and there will be competition
also for field peas, soy beans, COW
peas, clover, alfalfa, timothy, alsike,
etc.
It is generally conceded that that this this
will be the best hay and grain show
ever held.

Hog lsland-192o.


No more the stretching incandescent
blaze,
Burning a>silver arc across the night;
Tall derricks idle through unchanging
days,
With naught but memories of the
splendid fight.
One fancias if these idle ways could
dream,
They'd yearn for eager artisans who
swirled
About the shaping hulls, a toiling stream
Who flung their answer half across the
world
Today their ships are on the misty
lanes.
Off the dim Orkneys and at Singapore;
Steaning to Rio through the tropic rains
Or slipping past some Australasian
shore.
Across the lonely flats the tall ways
loom,
Dull timbers etched against the sun
set skies:
A steamers siren cuts the deepening
gloom.
While through the roadside weeds the
night wind signs.

Names Gold Mines.

From the Lowell Courier Citizen.
Gold has been found in a granite
quarry at Skowhegan, Me. Don't, how
ever. join the crowd Of the get-rich-
quickers who may start thither as to
some Yukon field. There have often
been reports of gold discoveries in north
ern New England but they usually turn
out to be a case in which some visitor
has dropped out the filling of a tooth.
The presence of gold in Nova Scotia has
given certain FEASIBILITY to the ex-
pectation that where Maine passes into
the sub-boreal terrain auriferous depos-
its may be found. Yet even the Nova
Scotian field, one understands. has re-
ceived about as much gold in stock sub
scriptions as it has ever emitted in
bullion.

Just ak.
From the New York World.

The manner in which congress econo-
mics is clearly revealed in President
Wilson'S message. which shows that
"over $1,000, 100000 Of expenditures were
authorized by the last congress in addI-
ton to the amounts shown in the usual
compiled statements of appropriations"
Yet scores Of representatives and sena-
tors were on the stump during the re-
cent campaign, all engaged in telling the
country how they had saved money and
reduced taxes. although they had done
neither.
The spirit in which congress listens to
any suggestion Of economy is accurately
expressed by Representative MondeIrs
sheer at the presidents appeal, Mr..
Mondell being the republican leader Of
the House.

Cambridge Wins Exciting Game

Cambridge won the best game seen
here this season when White Haven
went down to defeat before the local
boys by 3 to , score yesterday at
ternoon. 1t was anybody's game up
until the last man was retired in the
ninth inning.

pitching ace was on the mound for
the local boys and completely reveng-
ed himself for the to loss of last
week, Hop" showed his mettle
yesterday and had the Dry Dockers
eating out Of his hand from start
to finish. Only five hits were made
off his delivery while he famed five
and walked but one batter. 1t was
Hop" himself who smashed a hot
ming that was too hot to handle and
gave Cambridge the lead by one run.
White Haven came back in the
seventh with a tying count, when
White tripled down the left field
foul line and scored on 4 wild throw
to third. The ball was fair when it
went over third base but afterwards
rolled foul, and Wall, in left field
thinking it was a foul ball made no
hurry TO return the ball and White
made third base on the hit.
Cambridge scored the two runs
that won the game in the eighth in
ming, when Williams muff1ed a hot
gToundeT from Wallis bat with run
ners on second and third
White Haven made desperate
rally in the ninth, but was able to
get but one run across the plate.
