AdmiraIs of On. Kind and Another

If there is any American youth who wants to become admiral he will learn something to his advantage by reading a story based letter from United States Senator Cameron. The letter states that there three midshipmen vacancies in the United States Naval Academy. which are to be filled by Arizona boys named by MT. Cameron. But he will name them only according to their merit, not of the color of their hair their political competitive examination to be held February 15 of next year. prime qualification is age be- tween sixteen and twenty years inclusive.
 There will be appointed at the sanie time. as a result of this examination, three sets of aternates of three each.
 We said something in the beginning about admiral and we trust that we will not misead any youth into thinking result of the examina- tion he will become at admiral with a salary s13.500 and the right blue flag with four white stars flying from the main mast.
 The boys who get these appointments will have to work up that by degrees through the ranks of midshpment, ensgns, etc. It is a long process but a very pleasant along the whole route Com paratively few midshipmen get to be admirals, but any rank at which they may stap is honorable
 The admiral is at the top; necessarily only a few there for the admiral places limited. There are more tops in other lines. There are in numerable admirals of industry, though we them highest rank captain Walt Whitman called Lincoln captain.
 It is really more difficult an admiral of industry than an admiral the navy, for to become tbe latter. has the aid of groove whereas in

How the World Receives It

The sentiment of the people of Great Britain. 50 far es 1t is reflected in the British approves the American proposal for the limitation of arma- ments. It was than they had dared to hope, longer step in the direction of disarmament than anyone believed would be taken Coupled with it was presidents address at the opening of the confer- snce, an expression of what may describe practical idealsm. The whole world has been set to talking and thinking.
 There a slight note of doubt in the comments of the French newspapers which raise the question whether the proposal will be acceptable to Japan. And in the British press doubt is uttered to the attitude of Japan. Japan itself is silent. perhaps awaiting developments in the conference concerning the adjustment Pacific and Far Eastern questions Even England the London Post would in good faith make acceptance of the proposal dependent 'on the measure of agreement eventually attained by the conference"
 The French Intransigeant, which though not rep resentative of government, but from the time of Rochefort a corrector of governments, and always speaking for large section Of the people, believes that Secretary Hughes with 'bluntness' which is perhaps subtlest diplomacy has put the question of the limitation of armaments up the people in such a ito put any power refusing to fol- low United States into unfavorable position in the eyes of the world"
 In similar vein the London Daily News also says Secretary Hughes challenge cannot be avoided It is the people that is avoided. Britain any rate must meet it fair and square"
 One outstanding fact is the unselfshness Of this country proposed for itself the "sac- rficep if a cut in armament may be called "sacri- flee" is rich and able than any the other powers to maintain the mad for supremacy the sea; whereas the other powers are not only with debt to it, but taxing their people grievously that industry has brought stand still It true that have the advantage of geo. graphical position but in the speech of the president there is such call the conscience of the and such a pledge of assistance enthrone peace, the whole world may brought together on terms of anity.
 There is nothing in the words of the president United States. The plea is for humanity.
 And there is in this than there be in any agreement relative to the limitation of arma- ment- Such agreement would be only surface indication present sentiment It would be less binding than solemn treaty. It would not be an International treaties It would be bind ing only upon the transtory represent ed in the and not upon the nations resented. Such an agreement could be abrogated by . succeeding government. But the foundation which Is laid in the conference is a different thing. It will rest upon the good will of the nations, freed from jealousy. suspicion and hatred. such dation only peace laid in such struc- ture will be erected there will be chamber for armament Any agreement with respect to the lini- tation of armament will indicate progress the structure.

 c. What were Washington's last words7 0. A. R.
 A. The last expressions Of Wash ington were characteristic of him. He said, T die hard; but I am not afraid to go. I believed from my first attack that I would not survive it. My breath cannot last long," A little later he said: 'I feel myself going. I thank you for your atten- ions; but I pray you to- take no more trouble about me. Let me go off quietly. I cannot last long," He gave instructions to his secretary regarding his burial, felt his own pulse, and died without a struggle.
