destroyers and other light craft. Submarines will be available in abundance, together with suffic- tent naval aircraft for all tactical purposes and a fully rounded out fleet of auxiliary vessels. The total number of vessels to participate will depend on the progress of re- cruiting. as many ships are in re- serve now for lack of crews, but it is probable that Admiral Wilson will command at least 300 vessels Of all types
 The most modern of dreadnoughts to participate in the maneuvers will be the great Tennessee. The last word in naval construction, this great floating fortress displaces 32,0O0 tons, carries 12 fourteen inch guns and is propelled by cleo trfc turbines The Tennessee is at tached to the Atlantic fleet. A sister ship, the California, probably will not be completed in time to join Admiral Rodmans force before the maneuvers.
 Striking Contrasts =
 A comparison of the ships avail able for next winters maneuvers with the naval strength available for a similar concentration ten years ago affords some striking con- trasts. January 1, 1910, the lat est battleshtp in the navy was the New Hampshire, authorized by Con gress in 1904. construction started comparison of the New Hampshire and Tennessee follows:
 New Hampshire: Length 450 feet; breadth, 76 feet; draft 27 feet displacement 17,7OO tons; speed Is knots; main battery four 12-inch guns and eight-inch; sec ondary battery 12 three-inch; four submerged torpedo tubes; nine-inch arrnor. Propelled by triple expan- sion engines developing 18,000 horsepower; crew 125O, including marines.
 Tennessee: 1920. Length 600 feet; breadth, 97 feet; draft 31 AcCtt ulSPldSchCHt, oH,oVV toho speed (contract) 21 knots; main battery 12 fourteen-inch guns; sec ondary battery IA five-inch guns; two submerged torpedo tubes; pro- pelled by electric turbines develop ing 28,500 horsepower; crew 1900 men. including marines.
 Eighteen single calibre gun ships chased as dreadnoughts will be avail able for the January maneuvers that, were not completed in 1910. They have combined displacement of 445,000 tons and a combined gun power of 112 fourteen-inch guns, 80 twelves, 220 five-inch and 28 three-inch.
 1910 Ship Obsolete
 A comparison of total battleship forces available in 1920 with 1910 shows that this year there are IS dreadnoughts and 19 pre-dread- thoughts, excluding the Oregon class, against 23 pre-dreadnoughts in 1910. including the Oregon class Most of the battleships listed as avail able in 1910 are now considered ob- Eolete.

is being launched to secure funds
for maternal and child protection

This earth is pretty good place
to live in even If there are few
floods, droughts, earthquakes, and
occasional strikes, lockouts and
financial crises, pestilcnces and
wars" Mr.. Van Amburgh said.
Most of us prefer living here To
any other place we know of and
we keep a few doctors around to
delay our departure as long as
possible Now to be told that Gol

cemeteries and undertakerS, jails,
judges and criminals, armies and

things of the present time, is not
such bad news. We have been
wondering what all this world com
motion was about. 1t surely will
be no small job to straighten out
all the tangled affairs of this old
world"
Mr.. Van Amburgh, of Brooklyn,

day that many of us now living

need never die. Following is a
brief resume, which viii doubtless

the Bible quotations cited are
looked up and read, which will al
low fuller appreciation of their
interesting significance:
The Promise of the Garden.
1.-THE Bible, though secuted by
many. is rapidly forcing its critics
to cover. The first three chapters
of Genesis record that God formed
the earth in six creSNive epochs, or
days. Other statements give the
length of these days ast7,000 years
each, or $4,000 years in all. 1t still
needed one day, 1000 years, to
reach perfection. However, God
perfected one spot, the Garden of
Eden, furnished it with perfect
food, climate and conditions, that
it might sustain life for his forth
coming new creation. man. There
he placed the first pair. the man
and his mate, with instructions to
fill the entire earth. The man was
perfect. beautiful, lord OF the earth,
in full harmony with his Creator,
but human in every respect, of the
earth earthly Before him stretched
the prospect of a perfected world
filled with his own children. as per-
feet as himself, and endless life
with which to enjoy his blessings.
Genesis 3:22 st2tes positively that
}if man could have remained in
touch with the Garden conditions
he would have lived for ever as 4
human being. But his disloyalty
cost him his beautiful home, his
dominion, his life. Today he Is
dead. and his children are dying,
unable to save themselves.

president of the company, who Is

will be closed here temporarily
until the matter oI the increased
rate, which the Mckinley Land and
Lumber company refuses to pay, IS
settled The statement given out
yesterday by an official of the COM
pany is practically correct.
The statement is to the effect
that the State Corporation commits
sion on August II in pursuance of
a protest filed by the lumber COM
pany against the increase of 25
per cent issued ap order to the eff
feet. that no increase in the rates
should. be made by the railroad
company. But shortly afterward
the railroad issued its printed tar
iff rates and fixed the rate on logs
in carload lots from Thoreau to
Albuquerque at $3.12ls per 1000
feet, a 25 per cent increase over
the price agreed upon in June,
1919, when the lumber company
was considering the removal of the
mills to the woods.
The lumber company claims that
they have a contract with the rail-
road for the hauling of logs on the
basis of $3.50 per 1000 feet. After
the agreement was made the Me-
KinJey company spent over $780,
600 in the rehabilitation of the
plant with the belief that the rate
would continue until the company's
timber holdings had been cut and
removed. ...s~...
