Last Friday, the 22nd, the class of 1921, P. H. S, presented the annual senior play, this year entitled "The Elopement of Ellen" a three act farce. The sketch was very we'll giv- en and the class owes a great deal to the coaches, Miss Barnes, Miss Keith and Mr. Snow, for having such fine acton and clever interpretation of the lines.
 Francis Murphy made hit in his humorous role of the rector of St. Agnes. The portraying of the part of Ellen by Helen Thompson was ex- ceptionally we'll done, as was that of Robert Shepard, taken by Alfred Bar Der. The acting of each character

WITH THE ATLANTIC FLEET.
July 12.-Orders for the transfer Of
some of the most powerful fighting
ships of the United States Navy to
Pacific waters have been followed by
renewal of discussions in the fleet of
the possibilities of a war in the Pacific
One thing is certain. that the Off
GERS of the fleet do not want war, al
though their daily task is continual
preparation for war. Least of all do
the officers Of the fleet want a war in
the Pacific.
1t is generally agreed among the
fleet officers that if the United States
IS ever forced TO war in the Pacific IT
will he the greatest naval war that the
world has ever seen, and it will prob
ably be the longest.
Preparations for active naval war
fare on the Pacific may seem well ad-
vanced bat the officers of the fleet
declare that it would take from ono to
three years more for this nation to
Prepare for a naval attack in the Far
East. Naval bases in the Pacific are
low adequate for peace-time defense |
1ut they are far from adequate for an
extensive war program, it is generally
onceded. The vast eXpanses of the |
Pacific would make the work of es-
tablishing bases for fleet operation |
the task of many months of hard Ia !
Dor, and no officer believes that there
could be any effective offensive with |
out a complete system of bases.
WatchfuI Eye Kept On Japan
The naval operations of the world
are closely studied by the officers OF
the American Navy, but probably no
naval operations are as closely match-
ed as those of Japan. While Officers
Of the navy cannot be quoted for pup
.tication. in private conversations they
point with some satisfaction to two d.
visions of the japanese navy which, IL
is said have not been entirely sue
,essful, and these are submarine ana
aerial warfare. The japanese. II is
stated. have not mastered the subma-
rine. and in their hands it is not the
weapon that it was in the hands of the
Germans. In the aid the japanese
have not yet found themselves, ana
for psychological reasons it is belleNea
by many that the little men of Nippon
will never be very successful in their
aerial operations.
AIthouCh frequently cut OF irlh
| the advantages of the daily press, the
| officers of the fleet are close students
of world topics, and they are parueu-
| larlv close students of the japanese

with Its time-honored creeds and rit-

unto her, Woman, believe me, the
