The Spring Straw Hat.

All winter long man wears a hat
that is easy and comfortable-a
friendly, slouchy, well-worn sort Of
thing that he can pull down over his
ears when the wind blows or throw In
to the air at a football game. It's
Just the sort Of clothing man ought
to wear, not tyrannical but compan-
ionable. And then along-comes spring.
In the spring, say the poets, the spirit
of man breaks Its bonds. A fellow
feels restless and ind0mltable, fit for
anything and free as the wind. He
brooks no restraint, not he. He looks
upon his good old cap or hat and de-
cldes he ought to buy another. And
he does. He goes and gets himself
straw hat--a stiff, uncomfortable,
unreliable sort of thing that is faith
less to every passing breeze A man
can't roll 1t up and put 1t In his
pocket, he can't throw 1t Into the air,
he can't pull 1t down over his ears,
he can't do anything with 1t except
wear It dalntily and carefully, unit
the time comes to smash 1t In the
autumn and 90 back to the old cloth
hat. And that's the best proof Of the
madness of spring-hot love, not
blooming flowers, but the new straw
hat that leaves red mark on a fel.

THE u. S. NAVAL ACADEMY

the year 1S45.
1t is located at Annapolis, the
quaint little capital city Of the state
of Maryland, which, to this day, re-
tains distinctly English favor--on
tract Of land where formerly stood
Fort Severn. Its position on the River
Severn, which connects 1t with the
Chesapeake bay, Is both fitting and
an advantageous one.
When the Owl war broke out a
change of location was considered ad-
visable and the academy was moved
to Newport, r. |. In 1865 1t was
moved back to Annapolis.
Since 1898 most of the buildings
have either been enlarged or recon-
structed and many new ones have
been built. Today this academy Is
considered the best-equipped ana nahd'
soonest naval institution of learning IN
the entire world.
The present course, much OF wh'ch
Is usually spent at sea, requires lour
years to complete After graduation
a midshipman is commissioned an en-

We end a war without seeking
to guarantee andm aintain peace.
None the less the American
people are generous. They
showed it memorably in the war.
They are honest. They mean
what is right. They wish for
peace. They abhor war. If
they are imperfectly informed
about international affairs; if
with other democracies they
must become internationally
minded" as Mr.. Root says, their
feeling is less narrow, their
hopes and sympathies are broad
er and more idealistic, than those
of some or many of their leaders
and rulers; and they are at least
as internationally minded. "
What could be less 'interna-
tionally minded" than the Senate
majority, than the official
Republicanism of the last two
years and a half? What could be
less internationally minded"
than tht official theory at Wash
ington that the whole treaty
reflects the policy of the Unit
ed States to refrain from mix
ing in matters regarded as
chiefly of European concern, "
such as the boundaries of Euro
pean States? So it would be a mat
ter chiefly of European concern
if some day Germany should try
to reannex Alsace-L Lorraine. The
persons who imagine that are
living in some insulated world of
their own, where Serajevo and
the invasion of Belgium are for

1t is a noble purpose to attempt
to lessen or remove the cause of
controversy and germs of war in
the Pacific; but it is futile to
try to wrench ourselves away
from Europe, which atounds in
them. The Atlantic Ocean and
our extreme unconcern for Bal
kan troubles couldn't save US
from war. The interrelations of
modern States are inevitable.
The most powerful State in the
world has no power to keep itself
out of world affairs.
