our navy which was made the base
of the international conference and
which standard we have proclaimed
TO the world.
"Of course the decision must lie
with Congress, but l should not be
frank in replying to your inquiry II
l did not say that shall be greatly
disappointed, and I believe the coun.
try will be greatly disappointed, II
the appropriation, to which the navy
must and will adhere, is reduced to
the point where the limitation of en-
listed men and apprentices is below
$4,000. No presentation OF the situa-
ton which has come to my notice has
served to alter that opinion.
Ultimately, perhaps, the lower
figures proposed may be reached, and

ter international concert, but the
trend toward peace and security
ought to be more firmly established

to which we were gladly committed

Creator has provided for
that purpose-that the end
and aim of human existence
is adequate preparation for
another and higher existence
in which the senses shall
drop from us like shackles
from slaves with our mental
powers so amplified and de-
veloped that we shall be IN
finitely the better fitted to
understand the ineffable
glory of God and behold the
still greater splendOrs of His
creation. Those, too, who
really think, know that the
only happiness attainable in
this life comes from service
that service to ones fel-
low-men which is heart-ser-
vice and not lip-service-and
which was taught us by
Christ the Brother as the
truest worship of God the
Father.
To sum up, we think Shaw
teaches a false philosophy.
Those who do not think for
themselves are misled by the
scintillations Of the brilliant
Irishman's wit-and mis-
take them for rays of true
light. Whereas they are
but the chickering's Of an er-
ratio will-o' the-wisp, formed
lin the miasmas and pestilen-
tial vapors of a low magma
( ton, but never on the rare
fed heights of the intellect.
Bernard Shaw and H. g..
Wells, you will remember,
were going to write a new
and modern Bible, which
should relegate to oblivion
all other Bibles; show Man
the path he had travelled
through the Ages, and tell
him where to get off and
change his direction. Wells,
in his "Outline Of History"
is equally as shallow and
foolish as Bernard Shaw in
his Back to Methuselah"-
except that he has not the
Irishman's wit and learning.
We might find one microS-
copic point Of agreement
with Shaw's Back to Meth
useIah" that he and Wells
might require three hundred
years in which to learn a
little sense; but even then
we would prefer to say three
thousand!

Washington, April 17.--Larger
navy enthusiasts in the House were
formidably reinforced yesterday BY
letter from President Harding to Re
preventative Nicholas Longworth de-
claring unequivocally in an enlisted
naval personnel Of $4,000 men, M
stead of $1,000, as proposed IN the
pending Naval bill reported by the
Appropriations Committee.
The Presidents letter and the
speech Of Representative Alice NJ.
Robertson of Oklahoma, the only
woman member of the House, were
the outstanding developments in de-
bate in the lower chamber on the nav
al budget.
Indications were that the House
would vote early on the personnel
item. Representative Macarthur, oil
Ore, majority member of the Naval
Affairs Committee and author of the
$4,000 personal amendment, was con-
fident that the Presidents letter to
Mr. Longworlh would carry the lar
ger navy proposal through.
Writing Representative Longworth,-
President Harding said:
Il have to acknowledge your letter
of inquiry addressed to me on the
10th instant. If l were to address
the Congress formally | could say
only what | have already said infor-
mally because | am as well persuad-
ed that it is not wise to make so dras-
tic a cut in the naval appropriations
as has been proposed in the measure
now pending in the House.
81 do not doubt the good faith of
the committee majority in believing
a suitable navy can be maintained I'M
der the limitations fixed in the pending
bill, and am heartily III accord with
every consistent effort to deepen the
cut in governmental expenditures

good faith of the Navy Department

phaticallly that it is impossible to

BACK TO METHUSELAH

George Bernard Shaw has
written another play which
he calls Back to Methuse-
lah." 1t takes up some three
hundred pages in book form,
and one of the two striking
things about it is that actors
should be found with memoir
les prOdigiOus enough to re-
cite its labOriouS pages upon
pages of mOnOlOgue. The
other is that people should
be found who had the ply
steal endurance to sit
through its five parts, re-
curing three nights, treat
ing as it does of some
t h ir t y-six tn usan d
years of imagined human
history. Even then they had
to drink strong coffee to keep
awake, the intermiSSions
varying from twenty min
utes to an hour and a half.
Shaw begins his play with
Adam and Eve, in the year
4,004 B. c., and carries it to
1890 A. D. Adam and Eve
discuss Immortality and are
afraid that an eternity of
the Garden of Eden would
bore them-we were going
to say ito DEATH" but that
would of course be impos-
sible-SO we will say to
d e a t h less evaporation.
Then comes Cain and affords
Shaw an opportunity to in
flict his lucubratiOnS on War
on a helpless audience. And
so on, dOWn-thrOugh the
cycles of the authors imagi-
nation to the year when man
has so extended his mortal
existence that three hundred
years is his normal span. He
seems to think that human
ity'S chief if not sole purpose
Of-creatiOn is to improve its
physical environment and
conquer its physical limita-
tiOnS. He believes that if
Man could so extend his
MISREPRESENTATION years of
life to fifteen or twenty
score, that it would be a most
praiSeworthy achievement,
ana THAT the END and ann OF
our existence is to live COM
fortably or perhaps luXuri-
ouSly in the enjoyment Of
our five senses. We suspect
that Bernard Shaw is even
foolish enough to think that
we could attain happiness in
that way.
But who of us would live
three hundred years if he
could? As it is, our lives are
prolonged enough to con-
vince those of US who really
think and use the brain the

PARCELS POST TOO CHEAP
Government Carries Packages at Ex.
pcnse of Other Mail.

Responsibility for deficits incurred
by the postoffice department in the
handling of the mails is attributed
largely to the parcel post system, ac-
cording to data collected by the Joint
Postal Commission which has been
conducting a nation wide investiga-
tion into the cost of the handling of
all classes of mail matter. Conclus-
ions of the commission are to be in
corporated in report to be submitted
to congress next fall, after further in
vestigations have been completed, it
was announced few days ago.
Members of the commission and
officials of the postoffice department
declare the parcel post to be indis-
pensable to the country but assert
that some system should be devised to
establish it on a paying basis. The
commission has not yet determined
finally, it was said. to what extent the
postal deficit is attributable to the
parcel post but the fact that its oper-
alton had made inroads into postal
appropriations had caused concern for
some time, officials said. The joint
commission, created by congress to
investigate postal conditions through
out the country with view to sug-
gesting and recommending needed i'm
provements and extensions of service
had held hearings in various cities
principally at congested postal centers
like Chicago, Philadelphia and New
York. 1t had. been. found, 1t was eX-
planned, that conditions in New York
and Philadelphia, especially, were most
unsatisfactory and should be strength
thened considerably If fair standard
of efficiency was to be maintained.

Is one of the natural wonders Of the
world, and it was very interesting to
me; but to appreciate it you would
have to see it.
Passing along the coast Of Marti-
nique we stopped at Fort de France,
and saw the site of st. Pierre where
$4,000 people were overwhelmed BY the
eruption of Mont Pelee some years
ago. A few houses have been erected
on the place since: but as whole
the ruin is still complete. The mcun-
tain continues to smoke ominously.
Negro boys diving for coins is a
common diversion to the passengers
of all big passenger steamers passing
through the West Indies. Whenever
we approached harbor, the negroes
would come out to the ship in small
boats and banter us TO drop coins
into the water All kinds Of coins
would climb to the bridge and dive
divers would get them, generally before
they reached the bottom. Also for a
dollar some Of the more expert divers
would climb to the bridge and drive
into the water so feet below. These
negroes are most wonderful divers and
they make lot Of money at it-a lot
for them-because the passengers en-
joy the sport and think it worth the
price.
Quite a pleasant incident Of the trip
was when shortly after we reached
Charlotte Amalie, Island Of st. Thorn
