.R0TAR|AN DELEGATES
SAIL FOR ED|NBURG

New York. May 31.-Bishop w. T.
Manning, of the Episcopal church to-
day reiterated his belief that it is
right for Americans to carry and dis
play on all suitable occasions, tho
flags of those nations that fought
with us in tho war" He was the
principal speaker at a luncheon given
by the New York Rotary club in honor
of the LOO rotarians who will sail
tomorrow for Great Britain. Tho dele
Gates will represent tho Associated
annual convention of International Ro-
tarians at Edinburgh. Scotland, June
1916.
The bishop praised the overseas mis-
sion of tho rotarians.
Tell my British friends" he said
that you go to them as thorogoing un-
diluted Americans. Tell them that be-
cause you are true Americans YOU
do not forget the duty we owe to tbe
great British navy and tho in
domitablc armies of all our English
speaking allies. who stood between us
and tho enemy In the perilous times of
war.
We may be carcfree, needless. peo-
pie but tell them we do not intend to
permit any individual Or group to tell
others that We shall not carry or dis
play on all suitable occasions the flags
of those nations that fought with us in
the war
A letter from President Harding cT-
pressed his regret at his inability to
attend the luncheon.
1T seems to me there is opportunity
for very great service in the cause of
good international relations in your
visit to Europe" he wrote.
1T cannot but be altogether desir-
able that the peoples OF he-great Eng
lish-speaking countries shall establish
moro and more intimate social rela-
tions and constantly improve their
understanding OF each other.
AS your splendid delegation of rep
resentative Americans goes away on
this mission of amity and international
goodwill I want every one of You To
know how earnestly ! hope for good
and helpful results from your visit

toga and also the six superdread-
naushts-the South Dakota. North

Massachusetts,. He said that the six
superdreadnaughts of the California
Grass should be completed. He urged
ms amendment on the ground of
economy and also that capital ship
construction should be deferred until
the value of big ships in future naval
warfare is determined.
In pleading anew for a disarma-
ment agreement between tho naval
powers Senator King referred to sus-
pension, until a few months ago, of
Great Britain's capital ship construc-
lion program. The new British plan
FOR four superHood vessels of $4,000
tons displacement he said, appeared
TO be AN answer to the challenge"
OF this nation in proceeding with the
1916 program. The superHoods he
declared would make anything in the
American navy ineffective If not
obsolete"

SOLOMON OUTGLASSED

Some folks have all the luck - take Peck McSWain, for instance. Peck. as everybody knows, is the versatile poet, humorist and type slinger on the Portland Canal News and is the recipient of the most glorious gift-a mackinaw that has the coat of many coloFs,' worn by Joseph, of Biblical fame, backed plumb off of the scenery. When Peck parades down Fifth Avenue in this Faiment the residents of Stewart stampede for their eolored glasses, the dogs heat h for the bush and Old Sol says to himself: "Oh shucks! What's the use?" and sink behind the SHOW be- -diamoTed hills. King Solomon, in his day, was supposed to be somewhat of sport when it came to dolling up in glad rags, bqt even he, in all his glory, was never arrayed as the in- imitible Peck. Nothing ever made by man can compare with this wonde! of womanly handicraft, un- less it be the dazzling kaleidoscope which used to excite our childish wonder 40 CT 50 years ago. When we mediate upon our neishbor's good fortune. a wave of irrepressi- ble envy suVies through our ample bosom. But though we cannot re- strain our sobs, we nevertheless must murmer: Congratulations, Old Chap!"
