PULLING TO VARDON

A story is told of how Harry
Vardon and Sandy Herd took
part in an exhibition golf match
in Scotland. During the round,
on the tee of a blind hole, Var
don asked his caddIe for line of
direction, and was told to play
on the stalk" Not understand
ing, Vardon appealed to Herd,
who replied:
He means the lum, you"
The thany-time English cham
pion was more mystitied than
ever until a spectator explained
that both stalk" and "lum" were
Scotch for chimney, and that the
line to the hole was on the tall
chimney that showed on the hori-
ION.

rivalry, has stirred up another inter

Once before President Tart felt
obliged to rcprimand the then Com

Secretary Daniels said that in the
first summer OF the war Admiral
Sims was given the title OF Comman-
der OF the United States Naval forces
In European waters, but that as e
matter OF fact his duties were 4OL
afioat."
The country and the world kiH0p'
already that the job of the navy was
very well done. wether on the 27th
OF June or the 27bh of July, or some
particular date, We should or should
not have sent so many dcstroyers TO
a certain place, or whether they
could be made ready at that time, or
whether it was important to retain
some to protect Our coasts, were, OF
course. matters OF naval strategy.
There may be differences Of
opinion between naval officers as
to these matterss but there is
nothing about this big job the
navy did that ! am not only wilt
ing but glad and happy for all the
people in America to know about.
The paramount duty OF the Amer
lean Navy" Mr.. Daniels declared.
was to protect the passage OF Amer
lean troops to Europe. and the safe
guarding Of merchant shipping, vital
as that was recognized to be neCes-
sarly was secondary"
There was not a minute during
the war when we did not do every
thing We possibly could to increase
naval effort and add naval craft TO
light submarines and protect our
troops. We ordered $50 destroyers
and there wasrt minute during the
war that work was not pressed to th,
flIll capacity OF the country. We
wanted every ship in America thai
was fit for use. We utilized the navy
